Remember our Once upon a time

Chapter 5 - Roses are blue,violets are red. One truth is that I love you

You know that feeling when you woke up one fine morning and suddenly there's an ache in your stomach and then you realise that today is the first day of the thing for girls every month? Well that's exactly what I felt this so called fine morning with rain and dark menacing looking clouds.

And then I remembered the events of last night. Butterflies? Stay with me? Jesus what has gotten into you Jensen...

And of course, the mighty hero of the day left when I didn't see him anywhere. Huh, and it was only eight in the morning on a Sunday.

I shook my head in frustration and walked to the bathroom, only to be stopped when a sharp pain shot up. I cried in agony and kneel down,clutching my stomach and trying to stop the pain.

Of course, it didn't work.

"Where's the burglar? " Elliot shouted, stopping at the door. "Get away from her you-wait. Jensen? Are you okay? " I heard the sound of his feet rushing towards me, and he helped me up back onto my bed.

"Do.I.Look.Okay?" Gritting my teeth in annoyance, I glared at him with all my might. "What's with people asking someone who's definitely not okay if their okay? "

"Look who's in a crappy mood today. " Elliot murmured, and soon everyone came rushing towards me. And when I mean everyone, I meant all of the Evans, including Stacy and Matt.

"What's with the ruckus? " Tommy said, looking asleep already. Well it was eight in the morning.

"Jensen are you okay? Your face looks pale." Chris asked while I just shot him a glare. Again with the 'okay' questions. I swear if I could go back in time I would demand Abraham Lincoln to put a new rule that says 'Don't ask someone who's not okay if their okay. '

"Do I look okay? " I snapped, but it came out like a whining when I felt the pain again.

"Honey, is it the first day of the month? " Stacy asked, giving me a small smile.

I blushed and nodded my head. Did she have to say in front of everybody?

"Alright boys, go back to your room now. Nothing to see here. " Stacy commented and pushed all of them out of the room.

"Mommy, why do we have to go? What's the first day of the month? " Jake asked while Andy nodded in agreement. I could see a blush forming on the boys cheek and couldn't help but laugh a bit on their awkwardness.

"It means-" Alex said, only to be cut off when Stacy shot him a death glare.

"Ask Tommy to explain to you. Do not ask Elliot, Jason,Chris or Alex. Now go back to your room darling. "

Jake and Andy went to Tommy and I could see Tommy turning redder and redder by the second. Ah, young children. Always making it hard for the adults.

"So, do you want some Aspirin? And just rest for today. The first day is always the cruelest for us girls." Stacy asked, smiling at me. It felt great when I felt the closeness of a mother when I was with Stacy, might have been because Stacy told me that she always wanted a daughter and was so glad I was here. It was the first time when someone said that they were glad that I was here, it felt like...I belonged here.

A place where I felt I belonged. That's a first for me.

"That would be great, thank you. " I said, smiling as I watched her retreating.

Stacy came back even before I could say 'peanut butter and jelly', sometimes I wonder if she could teleport. How cool is that?

After I swallowed the pills, I was about to go back to sleep, (yes, sleeping is a luxury for me thank you very much) when I saw Chris coming in and plopping down beside me on my bed.
