Medicated Love // Weston Koury // PART 1

Chapter 7: Sunday Sickness

Weston POV:

It was Sunday now and yesterday was amazing. After our cuddle session we went to my house and went to sleep. That next morning we went to some low key cafe for breakfast and then we went to a movie. It was lit. I spent the night at Savanna's last night and we watched movies. But something odd was going on with her. She wasn't eating because she said her stomach was hurting her really bad. I was starting to get worried. She had no food yesterday, or the day before that. In fact, i have never actually seen her eat at all the whole time i have been hanging out with her. But she wasn't really thin like a stick. She had some curve to her body so it wasn't anorexia. But what was it? I walked down to her fridge and grabbed some orange juice when i saw her walk in. I gasped almost dropping my cup. She had on her sports bra and spandex as i starred at the big red rash on the side of her stomach. It looked throbbing. "S-s-savanna! Your stomach. It- it has a big rash on it." She looked down gasping at the sight of the red marks. She covered her mouth looking at me. "Here sit down, I'm going to get a rag." I grabbed a rag and got it wet with cold water. I lightly pressed the rag against her stomach. She winced in pain. "Uhh, it hurts really bad!" I stopped and felt it. She was bleeding. "How did this happen? Are you allergic to anything?" She shook her head as she grabbed some bandages and wrapped it around her stomach. "There, problem solved." She got up and began to walk away when i stopped her. "No! Not problem solved Savanna. Sit down now." She looked worried as she sat back down. "What is going on?" "Nothings going on why?" I scoffed looking away. I was pissed. "Savanna just stop lying. You haven't eaten anything in forever, you have been really tired, you have been passing out, your stomach has been in pain, and now you have a big rash. Now you better tell me right now if you had anything to do with it." She looked like she was about to cry when she stood up. "What the hell Weston! I didn't do anything to myself. Have you ever thought that maybe i just have a virus. God what is wrong with you. Stop accusing me of shit!" She stormed up to her room as i tried to stop her but she didn't. "Savanna!" I grabbed my stuff and left slamming the door behind me. I knew something was wrong and she was lying. She was doing something and i am going to find out what it is. 

Savanna POV:

Who the hell did he think he was? My father, like no. I mean i feel bad for lying to him but i just want to be good for him. I don't want him to have to worry about my problems. Suddenly my dad called as i sat on my bed petting Molly. "Hi dad." "Hey honey! How are you. Are you holding up good?" "Yah I'm great. So when will you be home?" "Well............actually that's why i called. The firm found out the problem but we saw a ineffective law statement from my client and-" "Save it. So how long are you going to be gone now?" He sighed and said sorry a million times before answering my question. "2 weeks." I bit down hard on my teeth pissed when he said those words. "Ok, cool have fun!" "Wait, Savanna please don't be mad. I'm sorry I wont be there for your first day but i asked Mrs. Koury, our neighbor, to take care of you. She has a son your age and she said she will take you to school and pick you up. It will be fun and she is very nice. Think of it like a vacation." I cried silently and held back the pain in my voice. "Okay, just be safe." I sighed in relief of forcing that lie out. "Thanks. Your the best and i love you so much! Call me tomorrow and tell me how school went." "Okay bye." I threw my phone down and ran down stairs to check the mail. I wanted to see my classes for tomorrow. I saw Weston outside shooting a basketball. He glanced at me as I turned away and got the mail out of the mailbox. Bills, bills, taxes, insurance, bills, SCHOOL! I quickly opened the letter revealing my new classes.

I looked at it for about 10 minutes just standing there not moving a single muscle. We had almost every class together. I grabbed my bag and headed for the convenient store down the street. As I walked past Weston he stared at me and yelled, "Savanna! Where are you going." I looked at him and rolled my eyes as i kept walking. "Somewhere!" I screamed. He sighed and went back to shooting hoops. This was our very first fight, and to be honest, i was upset. I mean, we aren't even dating. I think. I mean he hasn't asked me out. I didn't want to be mad at him but I was. I just kept walking not looking back one time. 

Weston POV:

There I was shooting basketballs while the girl i loved was pissed at me. I should be wherever she is begging for forgiveness but instead i was acting like a jerk. I wasn't trying to be mean, but i just love her so much and i don't want to lose her. I saw her walking back with a plastic gas station bag in her hand. When she saw me she hid it in her bag and continued walking past me. "Savanna, wait up!" She kept walking as i ran over to catch up with her. "Just........leave me alone." She sounded cold but i know she was upset. "What's in the bag?" "Nothing." She walked past me as i grabbed it. She screamed at me asking to give it back. I looked in it pulling out a bag of brand new blades. I looked at her with an angry look. "You fucking promised Savanna!" I screamed so loud the whole neighborhood could hear. "They aren't for me!" She tried to grab them. I chucked them into the small pond and took a breath. "What the hell Weston! They were for my dad! He needed some for when he came home. He asked me to go to the store and get some!" I looked at her as she stared straight into my eyes. "I don't believe you." "Of course you don't. You don't believe anything i say do you? You think i always lie. Well i guess it doesn't matter anymore does it." She teared up still staring right at me as she walked off. I felt like i wanted to punch a wall! I was furious. I threw my ball at the house and went in. I saw my mom cooking something as i took of my shoes. "Hey babe, you want any-" "No! Please just leave me alone!" I stomped up the stairs and slammed the door. 5 minutes later my mom came in and sat next to me. "I'm not even going to ask whats wrong. But i wanted to tell you that Savanna's father called me." I looked at her shocked. "Why?" "Well, apparently he is going to be gone for 2 more weeks and he asked me to watch over Savanna while he was gone. He just broke the news to her and shes pretty upset so i was thinking we could invite her over for dinner. And I just wanted you to know that we will be going to carpool with her. Ok?" I stared at the ground and slowly nodded. I didn't feel it but a light tear ran down my cheek. I felt like shit. She must have just found out the news and was devastated while i was treating her like crap.  I stood up and kissed my mom as i ran out of the room and out the door. I went straight over to her house and busted through the doors. And there she was.
