My Perfect Adoptive Family

Don't Lie To Me

Ella's P.O.V

I grab my phone that Ross set on the side of the tub for me. I call his phone. "Hello?" He grunts.

"Babe, I need to get out. I have to lay down," I whimper.

"Okay, I'll bring you clothes. See you in a few," he says before hanging up.

I sigh as i put my phone back on the floor. After a few minutes, ross comes in with my clothes. He smiles sadly as he helps me out of the tub. He asks if the bath helped at all. "Not really, it made me dizzy," I whisper as he pulls up my panties.

He stops at my knees, staring at my area. He shakes his head, pulling himself out of his trance. He finishes dressing me quietly and helps me out of the bathroom. "Ella, has this ever happened before?" Dad asks.

I reach out to hug him. He pulls me into his chest. "Never," i mumble against him.

He nods, kissing my head. "Go nap, and I'll see if mom will stay here with you tonight," he says as Ross helps me out of the room.

"How much longer until you leave?" I ask as Ross climbs over me.

He caresses my cheek with his soft hand. "About twenty minutes. But when I get back, I'll come lay with you, okay?" I close my eyes and nod. He kisses my lips softly, running his hand up my shirt. I pull back. "I love you," he says with a small sigh as he gets up.

"Don't lie to me." I think to myself.

"I love you too," I mumble as I pull the blanket up to my chin.

He looks back at me, sadly. "What's wrong?" He asks as he leans against the door frame.

"Nothing, I don't feel good and I'm tired," I whine.

He closes the door and walks back over to me. I face the opposite way, pulling a pillow over my face. "You don't trust me?"

I nod, "I do! It's just.." i trail off as I remove the pillow.

"You don't think anyone can love you," he sighs. I nod again. "Well, I do. Whether you believe me or not." I shrug and close my eyes again. "I'll be back soon, I love you."

I nod again. "Love you too," I whisper.
