'Babe wake up its Christmas come on'

'I'll wake up in a minute give me a sec'

I felt her pull the blanket down and scooped me out of bed carrying me out of the room . Shit I don't care as long as I don't have to walk right now . She carried me all the way downstairs and into the kitchen where she sat me in a chair and I rubbed my eyes trying to adjust to the bright ass kitchen

'Stay here I'm gonna go wake up the girls'

I didn't respond and only watched her walk up the stairs . I was gonna lay my head on the table but I couldn't because there was a plate of food in front of me and at all the other seats . I groaned and pushed the plate away so I could lay my head down . Delia loves Christmas so I don't want to do anything to mess up her day . I sat back up when I heard the girls all groaning too and stomping down the stairs . When Delia came back over to the table she watched all the girls sit down and I reached out for her to carry me again . She picked me up and sat down in my seat and talked to the girls . She was talking to Malory about something but I felt like I was gonna fall back asleep so I told Delia I was gonna go back upstairs and she let me . I brushed my teeth and my hair and went back into the room to get out the pill bottle I have hidden in my nightstand drawer . I only take these when I need energy but I haven't told Delia yet because I don't want her to freak out and they help me so I don't think she needs to know . I took a few and went back downstairs to Delia . I ran over to her and sat on her lap wrapping my arms around her neck waiting for the pills to kick in . Delia started feeding me and herself and talking with the girls and halfway through breakfast I felt the pills kick in and I feel a rush of energy rush through me and I sat up straight and started talking with some of the girls . I feel my eyes getting wide but I can't control it so I looked down to my lap and intertwined Delia's and mine fingers . I started playing with her rings trying to get my eyes to calm down but it wasn't working so I decided to just make something up if anyone asks and I continued talking with Delia and the girls . After breakfast Coco Mallory and I volunteered to help wash the dishes with Delia and once we where done everyone went up to their rooms and Delia and I went up to our room . I noticed I forgot to put my pill bottle back in my drawer so I sped walked over and discreetly slipped it back in . I flopped down on the bed and turned around to lay on my back to watch Delia getting the shower ready to take a shower and get her clothes for the day ready . I watched her get undressed and go into the shower and tried to go on my phone but my brain was going 100 miles an hour and I needed to do something . I undressed and went into the bathroom and in the shower with Delia . When she saw me she smiled and pulled me into a kiss and I had to put my hand on the wall to stabilize myself since I felt all shaky . I pulled away and turned her around to wash her hair and we talked about the Christmas party Delia was having tonight while I washed myself . I leaned up to kiss her again before she turned off the water and we got out drying ourselves . We went back to the room to put our clothes on but I sat down on the bed with my towel and watched her put lotion on and get dressed feeling dead but like an energized dead . My mind was going too fast and my body just felt like I couldn't move

'Why're you watching me you weirdo'

I snapped out of my thoughts when Delia said that walking towards me with my clothes and lotion . I still felt like I couldn't move so I let her take my towel off and start rubbing lotion on me and got me dressed . When she was done I smiled at her and she picked me up walking over to the bathroom and sat me down on the bathroom counter and started brushing out my hair . She blowdried my hair and did her hair and I sat there watching her waiting for my body to wake up . She picked me back up and laid me down on the bed while she searched for her laptop and set it down next to me plugged in the lights on the small tree we have in our room and closed the curtains so the room was dark except for the tree . She laid down next to me and pulled her laptop onto her lap and pulled me closer to her. I laid my head on her chest watching as she went through all the Christmas movies and finally chose one pressing play and turning on her side so she was holding me and put the laptop in between us . I tried focusing on the movie but my brain was moving too fast and I couldn't keep up so I started crying out of frustration making Delia look down at me
