Bad Blood

Lexa's POV

"I cannot believe you would do that." Calum growled. I rolled my eyes and popped a piece of popcorn in my mouth.

"It happened two days ago! Calum down. You lost yours at fifteen!" I retaliated. Calum turned around from his pacing and gave me a glare that made me want to be afraid of my brother, but I know he'll get over it.

"Babe, can you get me the chocolate Hershey spread thingy?" I asked Luke. He smiled and gave me a kiss on my cheek before getting up to leave.

"My baby sister had sex." Calum muttered. I threw popcorn at him and told him to shut up. "This is the last time I ever want to see either of you guys with sex hair."

"No promises, Monkey Face." I smirked and watched as Luke handed me what I wanted. I greedily opened the tub and dipped popcorn in it before i put the food in my mouth.

"Thats seriously disgusting." Michael scrunched his face at me. I felt my stomach turn, but I doubt it was from the food, so I kept eating.

"Why don't you two get girlfriends?" I asked them, "That one girl that lives down the street has a crush on you, Cal. You should talk to her." I said with a mouthful of chocolate popcorn.

"Amy? Yeah, no." He says fastly. I gave him a suspicious look, but he left the room straight after.

"He is really mad." Luke whispered to me. I felt bad because they were friends before I even came in the picture, Cal and Luke shouldn't have a falling out.

"He'll get over it. I mean you can't blame him though." I smiled softly. Luke pinched my cheek and stole popcorn from ny bowl.

"Lex!" Madison called for me. I sat the bowl in Luke's lap and got up. She was in the kitchen, making who knows what. I started walking at a reasonable speed, but a wave of dizziness took me by surprise. I clutched the thing nearest to me and that was an end table. My free hand clutched my chest. Everything was moving, I couldn't stand straight. I felt my legs give out and I fell to the ground.

"Lexa!" I heard her say even louder. I parted my mouth in an attempt to talk to her. Nothing came out but a wheezing noise. The ground kept moving and I felt a pounding in my head.

"M...m..ma." I tried to call her name. I tried yelling for help, but that only took even more strength. My ribs felt as if they were crushing down around me.

"Lex?" It was Michael's voice. I bowed my head and closed my eyes. My hand let go of the end table and I collapsed on the ground. My breathing was soft and rapid.

"Lexa! What are you... Luke!" Michael picked me up by placing his arms underneath my body and carrying me bridal style. My head fell back and I couldn't find the strength to move.

"What happened!? Lexa, are you okay?" Luke asked me. I only blinked in hopes that my world would stop spinning.

"Take her to my room. Tell Cal. I'm going to go do something." Luke tells Michael. Luke touches my hand and for a second I don't feel dizzy anymore. I thought of the first time we shared a bed for sleeping. It was a sleepover at Madison's house and we split the guest bed. Luke could be a human radiator though, he warmed up the bed within two minutes with only his body.

The dizzines stopped. I saw clearly once more but the pounding in my head didn't go away. "Michael." I spoke. He looked down at me, but kept walking. Soon enough, we made it to Luke's room. He set me down gently on the bed and I rolled onto my stomach.

"It hurts." I say aloud. In hopes that Michael hasn't left yet.

"What hurts?" It was Calum.

"My stomach." I tell him simply. I felt his hand rub my back.

"Luke and Ashton are making some medicine thingy!" Madison popped into the room and was quickly by my side. I smiled at her and closed my eyes.

"What happened?" She asked.

"I don't know. I think it is from the food. My head still hurts. I just felt dizzy for a second. I am sure I am okay." I added the last part quickly. I turned onto my back now and Calum stared at ne intensly. He didn't believe me.

"Drink this." Ashton came in with a little bowl. I took it from his hands and eyed the clear liquid. I didn't want to ask what was in it because it already smelled bad. I raised the bowl to my lips and tilted it back.

"Ew!" I squeal after I drank it all, "It taste like grass and Windex!" A collective laughter sounded.

"It was a healing medicine. You should be okay now. Just rest a bit." Ashton laughs.

I smiled gratefully. Everyone was talking except for Calum. He didn't say a word. He just looked down at me.

"Please, be careful." He whispers.
