I woke up to terrible stomach pain, I think I ate something bad last night. I didn't want to get up and had no plans to.
"Miss Skylar, breakfast is ready" Anders said
"Can you please bring it upstairs, I think I have a stomach ache" I said
"Ok" He replied
He brought up a tray of food and I start eating it while watching tv. After finishing my food, I go to the bathroom to use the restroom. I look down to see blood
Shit
School has told us a bit about periods but I have never gotten mine because of the lack of food and my body being beaten everyday caused me to never have my period. There is also a chance my mom didn't get hers till later in her teenage years which makes mine later.
I grab new underwear and put a wad of toilet paper in it until I can find some pads. I check under my sink to find nothing, I check other sinks in the house that could potentially have it but I hit a dead end.
"Anders, is Miss Isabella here?" I asked
"She has a family emergency and had to leave" he replied
"shit" I mumbled. Who am I suppose to ask for help now
"Uh is Michael here?" I asked
"Let me see, I think Mr. Bianchi gave him the day off" He replied
Crap, now there goes two
He walked away and came back couple minutes later
"Yes, he is off today" he said
"Shit" I mumbled
"Can you drive?" I ask
"Sadly due to my age, it has gotten me hard to drive these days" he said
"You're joking" I deadpanned. I am not asking Tyler to take me
"Do you need to go somewhere? Mr. Bianchi does not have any meetings in his schedule" He asked
"I actually do, the store" I said
"Ok, Mr. Bianchi is free right now if you want to go in" He replied
"Ok, thank you Anders" I said. I walked to the office, knocking on the door
"Come in" he said
"Uhh Tyler, can you take me to the store. It's kind of an emergency" I said
"Right now?" He asked
"Yes please" I said
"Ok, fine" he replied. He got up from his seat and headed over to the garage. He opened one of the cars and I slid into the passenger seat. We drove to the store which wasn't too far
"Uhh, do you have to come inside with me?" I asked
"Yes, how else will you pay?" He questioned
"Right" I said
We got out of the car and made our way inside
"So what do you need?" He asked
"I can just meet you at the checkout lane, I won't take that long" I said
"Fine, make it quick" He huffed
I looked at the aisle signs to see where I would need to go. I find out the women products and went down that aisle. I see a ton of different things, pads, tampons, diva cups. How the hell does a cup go up there.
I didn't know what to do, or what to get. No one every taught me this. I was staring at all the different products, time passing by and I don't even know how long I have been in this aisle
