She's the little

Chapter 21

I was sat on my bathroom floor after throwing up for the hundredth time.
I've got no clue where James went, he probably told me but I wasn't really listening.
too busy throwing up everything i've ever eaten.

i practically crawled my way back to bed berrying myself in my covers and pillows, ready to let death swallow me hole and walk towards the light.

"still not feeling grate?" i hear from the door way.
"no.. i'm ready to run a marathon." i groan without looking at my brother, staring at the ceiling preying for my misery to eat me.

"clearly.." he jokes walking into my room.
"James left by the way, said he'd be back later."

"woah you learned his name." i say, my voice practically gone.
he's not James biggest fan, its not like they see each-other often but every time they do it gets super awkward.

"i figured if he's the one taking care of u while your throwing up so i don't have too, i could at least learn his name."
"how sweet of you." i say, deadpanned. although his reasons were...stupid it was decent enough.

he eventually disappeared back into the kitchen and i let darkness swallow me, drifting into a short coma.

i felt poking on my cheek
"Dianna.."
"What.." I groan out half opening one of my eyes.
"Do you want a diet coke? I know you like them when your sick." Bella whispered from beside me, curled in my covers.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered back smiling a little.
"I'm hiding from my daddy, he's in my apartment downstairs." She tells me, reminding me of the fact that Bella still had her apartment downstairs.
I kinda forgot that's how we met...
"How bout that Diet Coke?" She asks again and I give her a quick nod smiling.
"Yes please."

Up until Bella got up I didn't realise there was an arm slung over my waist, and someone was breathing on the top of my head.

I could smell him so I new it was James, scooting back into him abit, feeling him wake up a-bit.
"Good morning." I say turning my head abit.

He groaned and pulled me in tighter.
"Shhh.. sleep baby girl." He says and I can tell his not even really awake.
It made my stomach flip when he called me that, and I wiggled my toes a bit.

I had to move his arm to sit up, getting out of bed to meet Bella in the kitchen.
"Wanna sit on the couch and watch Bambi?" Bella asked me.
I didn't mind showing my fondness for little stuff around Bella, she made it feel less awkward and treated it like it was the most normal thing ever.
"Yes please." I said taking the Diet Coke and grabbing my popcorn out the cupboards while she turned Disney+ on.

"But she's stuck you can't leave her there!" I say with tears in my eyes, while the movie played. Bella was full blown sobbing as she hugged a pillow.
Somehow at the same time my bedroom door and front door opened at the same time and in walked bella's caregiver, and James.

"Fucking Bambi." I heard Bella caregiver say as he looked at her then back at the TV.
I was still mostly focused on the film as Bambi was running.
