Healing closed wounds

Part 8 - strawberries

~ ALICE'S POV ~

The next morning I wake up with Eleanor on top of me. I push her off and check the time. It's 10:00 a.m.

"Hey I was comfortable." Eleanor says annoyed with her face in the pillows.

"I'm going to make breakfast. Want to come?" I get up to use the washroom first.

"In five minutes." Eleanor waves her hand as if she's swatting me away. I laugh and walk inside the washing.

I brush my teeth, wash my face, brush my hair, and I put on some deodorant. I'm finish in about 10 minutes.

I walk out of the washroom and shove Eleanor's shoulder to wake her up. "You slept of an extra 10 minutes up you get."

"Nooo." She hits my arm.

"Eleanor." I glare at her and she sighs getting up.

"You're so bossy." I laugh as we both walk out of my room. Passing Nolan's room I hear whispering and I soon remember Hazel slept there last night.

I grab Eleanor's arm before she can walk too far away and I knock on the door. "Come in." Nolan says quietly.

I let go of Eleanor I walk in with her by my said. I see Nolan and Hazel sitting up on his bed.

"Are you feeling okay?" I look towards Hazel and she sighs smiling. "Yes, thanks to Nolan."

Eleanor rolls her eyes playfully. "Mhm I'm sure of that. Come with us we're going to make breakfast."

She walks up to Eleanor grabbing her hands. "Nolan already made me toast but sure." She laughs getting up.

I look at Nolan and give him a questionable look as Eleanor and Hazel leave the room.

"What? Did you want me to leave her on the bathroom floor throwing up?" Nolan ruffles my hair.

I laugh and roll my eyes. "Thank you for helping her." He smiles and kisses my forehead.

"Of course." Before he can leave I speak up.

"Wait." I say making him turn around.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry....About yesterday." Nolan shakes his head. "Why are you sorry?"

"For begin to pushy. I know you guys are just trying to protect me but being told I cant do things and then seeing my twin brother do it just made me confused and angry. I still don't like it but I shouldn't have yelled at you yesterday." I look at him and he nods.

He walks over to me and pulls me into a hug. "I'm sorry too. I tried to convince Hazel and Luna to not go but obviously they didn't listen so I went to watch them." I pull away and look at him. "So you weren't going to go?" I ask confused.

Nolan laughs. "Owen didn't want me going for almost the same reason as you. He gave me a talk about being a good guy and not ruining girls. Cause you know.. stuff like that happens at parties." He looks down at me.

"I know it feels like you're the only one who has to follow rules made by Owen and Grayson but you're not. I know you might have it harder because you're the only girl but I'm here if you need to talk okay?" He gives me a reassuring look and I nod.
