Husband of My Dreams

Chapter 10

I woke up, ready to grab the bucket I've been using to vomit in as my stomach churned, slowly letting go as my stomach calmed down. I thought I was better.

"Roxanne, are you going to get up at all?" My mom called. "There's a concert at 7:30 and it's already 2 in the afternoon!"

"I'm up." I grumbled, getting up and going downstairs, going on my laptop. Yesterday when I got home, my sister made fun of me, as always. My mom yelled at me then my dad. Now it just seems like another regular day.

My phone lit up and I looked down, seeing a text from Elijah. "Hey. Are you coming tonight?"

"I think my family is, but I'm not. I really, really want to, though."

"Then why not? Is it because of yesterday?"

"Of course not! I just don't feel well again."

"Aw... I hope you'll feel better! I really want to see you."

I bit my lip. "We will see each other, trust me. We need to talk."

"That doesn't sound good... When will you see me next?"

"Two days, I think."

"I don't know if I'm excited or anxious."

"Try to be excited about seeing me, okay?"

"If you say so."

I sighed and put my phone down.

Around 11 pm, my family walked through the door, smiling and laughing. I guess they had a great time without me. "How was the concert?"

"Good. Evan was looking for you." My mom sat. "He smiled at us then noticed something missing."

"Really?" I giggled.

"Yeah. Elijah looked a bit sad."

I looked down and nodded. Hopefully he isn't blaming himself for something he didn't do.
