Sick.

Chapter 10

Claire's POV:

I felt my stomach twist and my whole body aching. I groaned and adjusted my position.

"What's wrong?" Jeffrey asked crouching over me.

"Nothing." I muttered. He sighed and crawled next to me. Watching tv.

I tried to stay calm and fall asleep, but the pain was getting worse.

A fell asleep for a while until I felt something shift in the bed.

"Jesus Claire your sweating really bad." Jeffrey gasped. The minute I opened my eyes a sharp pain went threw my head.

I groaned and covered my face.

"Jeffrey I feel sick.." I moaned.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier babe.." He whined. I sat up and rubbed my temples. A sudden burn filled my stomach up my throat.

"Fuck" I muttered and dashed to the bathroom. Jeffrey followed a bit panicked.

I threw up in the toilet and my head spun around and I got dizzy.

Jeffrey held back my hair and rubbed my back.

"It's okay honey." He whispered.

I sobbed and sat there as the pain calmed down a bit.

"What did you eat?" He asked.

"Nothing bad.." My throat burned as I said that. I moved away from the toilet and laid on the floor with my eyes closed. Jeffrey sighed and walked out.

I heard him shuffling threw stuff until he came to a stop.

He came running back.

"Why haven't you been drinking your pills?" Jeffrey yelled. I flinched as he gripped the container.

"I don't need them." I managed to say.

"What do you mean you don't need them?! What the hell Claire! This is why you've been getting sick. You need to drink your pills!!" He yelled even louder. I narrowed my eyebrows and kept my eyes shut.

"Listen to me Claire." He picked me up bridal style and I opened my eyes. His eyes were filled with tears.

"I don't want to take them. It's making me worse if I do." I whispered.

"No Claire your wrong. The side effects may be strong but it's going to help you. Please.." He begged.

I groaned and took a pill, passing it down with water. I brushed my teeth and sat down on the bed.

"Claire you need to listen to me. The pills will help you." He whispered.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my eyes.

"Sure" I shot back.

"Are you kidding me right now?! You know what Claire screw you. I'm trying to help and your shooting an attitude towards me!! Go to hell! I hope you die from all of this!" He screamed.

I sat there as tears were flowing down my face. I'm just in complete shock. I never thought Jeffrey would say that.

Jeffrey stared at me in anger until he realized what he had said.

"Cla-"

"No" I stopped him.

I put on my shoes and took my phone along with my car keys.

I sobbed as I turned around to face him. He had tears in his eyes and wanted to say something.

I turned around and slammed the door behind me running to my car.

I slammed the car door shut and set my head on the steering wheel sobbing.

After a couple of minutes I called Kayden.

"Hey!" He said.

"Kayden-" I sobbed.

"What? Are you okay?!" He yelled.
"I'm sending you my address. Get over here." He said.

I hung up the phone and drove.

Kayden opened the door and I ran to him, crying on his shoulder.

"It's alright." He whispered.

It's just the second time I've met Kayden, but it feels like I've known him for years.

We got in his house and we sat on the couch. He gave me a blanket and I cuddled into it.

"What happened?" He softly said.

I explained the story to him and ended in sobs. He pulled me into a hug, but it didn't feel comforting like Jeffrey's.

"It's okay.." He whispered in my ear.

Jeffrey's POV:

"You stupid idiot!!" I yelled to myself.  I let her go again.

I sobbed and ran out the door looking for her everywhere. People were staring, but I didn't care. Soon my phone buzzed.

Unknown: Hello it's Kayden. Just wanted to let you know that your an ass and Claire's at my place now crying really bad. I feel bad for you.

I clenched my fists together. Why is she over there?!

"Fuck off" I replied and ran out. I looked for Claire's car everywhere until I finally found it. I knocked rapidly on the door until someone answered it.

I look to see Kayden, an amused look on his face. I look past his shoulder and see Claire curled up in a ball, still crying. Unaware of who was at the door.

Kayden stepped out and shut the door behind him.

"What do you want?" He spat.

"My girlfriend." I said.

"I don't think she is anymore. After you told her to die. It feels even worse because she's under a lot of stress and suffering over depression. So fuck off." He shot.

I pushed him aside until he shoved me back.

"Move." I said. Clenching my fists.

"No." He scoffed. "She doesn't want to see you."

I was about to swing a punch at him until we heard a loud thump and glass shattering inside.

We both ran inside to see Claire bleeding on her legs with cuts. She laid on the floor sobbing, picking up another blade.

"NO CLAIRE!" I yelled. She slowly looked up and squinted her eyes.

"Jeffrey?" She whispered. She tried getting up but immediately collapsed back to the ground screaming in pain.

I ran over and pulled her in my lap. Kayden ran around looking for bandaids and stuff. I quickly removed the glass that had stabbed her.

Kayden tossed me a wet towel and I cleaned off the blood on her skin. She gripped my shirt tightly in pain and set her head on my chest.

Kayden ran over and knelt down next to her. He put some sort of liquid in her, then bandaid every cut gently. Luckily they weren't too deep.

I picked her up and carried her into Kayden's room, setting her down on the bed. She quickly drifted off to sleep ignoring the fact that I was there. I watched her carefully. Her breathing was uneven, and she had dark circles under her eyes. I sighed and kissed  her cheek.
