Adopted! (Fifth Harmony)

Depressed Lolo?

Lacey's pov
"Come on munchie get your ass up we gotta go!"
"Don't curse Lau!" A drowsy ally calls from her room.
"Cinco minutos màs."
She pulls the cover off of me and I groan in annoyance.
"Get up munchie we gotta go!"
"Mom school is at 8 not 3 in the morning."
"Get up we're going for a run you have to get in shape for softball season. The games start next week."
"So see there's no time."
"Don't be sassy let's go get your clothes on let's go." I get dressed in athletic clothes and follow mommy Lauren down the stairs. We start off down the street and let's say my asthma was trying to take over my body by the time we got around the whole neighborhood. We stop as I'm wheezing and basically choking on my own throat. Lauren sticks the inhaler in my mouth and gives me two puffs and off we go again around the neighborhood for another hour. We run back to the house. I shower and get back in bed. No more than 10 minutes later Mila wakes me up and gets me dressed for school. I head downstairs and eat the breakfast Ally makes for me.
"Mija you look dead what's wrong?"
"Laure..." I say and then lay my head in the counter trying to get some sleep.
"Come on get in the car. Liam is picking you up."
"Yeah ok!" I go to school and barely stay awake. The next day the same thing. The next day the same thing. This went on for the equivalent of a week. I woke up one morning and just died. My head fell on the table.
"Mija what's wrong?"
"J...just..."
"Why have you been so tired every morning?"
"L...Lauren..." I hear Lauren walk down the stairs.
"What's up chicas?"
"What did you do to Lacey?"
"What? We went on an uber relaxing run this morning just like all of this week."
"At 3..." I mumble.
"Lauren what the hell! Lacey has to go to school and she must have been tired all day."
"Oh calm down she's tough." She pats my back and I ignite into a coughing fit. Camila runs to get my inhaler and gives me two puffs.
"How far did you run?"
"Uhm everyday about 3 miles."
"Lauren she's 8 she can't do 3 miles in a row. Are you crazy?"
"I was doing 3 miles at 8."
"Lauren you also didn't have asthma, you were like a freaking track runner on, oh and Lauren you were eating like a football player to keep your protein up."
"She's fine see..."
"Lauren she can't stay awake."
"Lacey your awake right?"
"..mms..." I mumbled inaudible
"See she's fine!"
"Lauren I know you are doin this to keep your mind off of Z..."
"Ugh don't say his name it gives me a headache."
"Lauren you can't avoid it he left you and all of us. You can't take it out on Lacey by forcing her to run her heart till it runs out."
"Ok ok I'm sorry! What now?"
"I can't send her to school in this state."
"No mom I can d..." I collapsed again and then fell asleep. When I woke up I was in a car cuddled Ito a sleeping Dinah. I went back to sleep and then was woken up when someone started moving. I could tell someone was carrying me so I wrapped my arms around their neck. I woke up a few minutes later and rubbed my eyes. I was in some sort of studio. I looked up at Mani who was on her phone.
"Hey Lace! How was your rest!"
"It was good...wait why am I not I school?"
"You were so tired we couldn't wake you back up so we took you to rehearsal."
"No I have to go to school." She laughs.
"Babe it's ok to miss one day I mean you missed that whole month."
"Exactly I missed a month of school and now I'm missing more school and then I'm going to be behind and the. I'm gonna fail have to repeat a grade and not get into a good college and die sad and alone."
"Jesus Lacey calm down. The school is sending your work you won't be behind."
"Oh thank god!"
"Okay Lacey come here babe."
I sat on her lap.
"So Lauren and Ally don't think that you should have a huge birthday party but you want a huge birthday party right?"
"I don't know I guess."
"Like we'll invite all of the families and your friends and our friends."
"T...that's a lot of people."
"Is that too many people?"
"Yes!"
"What if it's just your friends and the families plus like Demi, Taylor, Ariana, and the boys."
"That sounds a lot less stressful."
"Okay then that is what we will do."
"Lauren you have to put more emotion in it you seem depressed."
"Maybe I am! Jesus!" She yells getting pissed.
"They've been trying to get something out of her for 2 hours now." Mani tells me.
"Maybe she needs to be happy."
"How can she be happy."
"I dunno make her happy remember I'm 8. I can't have all of the good ideas."
"You spend too much time with me you're getting a little sassy."
"Then why don't you not be sassy then we wouldn't have to worry about it."
"Ok I've had enough of your sass plus I have to rehearse so it's Milas turn to watch you." I giggle as she gets up to go get Camila. Camila comes and I lay across her lap.
"Hey Mija how are you feeling?"
"Hungry."
"I have a banana in my purse."
"As always." I sass.
"Mani was right you are getting sassy." She reaches into her purse and hands me the banana which I eat half of and give the rest to Mila.
"You sure you don't want anymore?"
"Positive. Mommy why is Mommy Lolo acting so strange."
"She's depressed."
"Because of ex daddy Zayn?"
"Yes sweetheart."
"She needs to be happy."
"She does but how can we do that?"
"Let's see she likes softball and my game is in 2 days so she should come."
"Honey were all coming."
"Well now we just have to wait for that day." She nods.
"You're so smart you know that?."
"I know. Thank you!" She tickles me a bit.
"Stop it mommy!"
"Ok ok!" She stops and I hug her.
"I love you Mommy!"
"I love you too Lacey."
