Wattpad kept deleting what I wrote so I had to rewrite this 5 times. Ugh.
Ben POV:
"Ok Carrie, Eliza's out of town visiting your aunt for a week to go over some family stuff so it's just you and me. What should we do first?" I asked.
"My stomach kind of hurts, I just want to lay down." Carrie said.
"Come on, we have the whole week to ourselves and you are just gonna lay on the couch?" I asked.
"Ben my stomach really hurts." She said.
"Fine you party pooper. We can just watch a movie." I said and sat down on the couch next to her.
"Ben it really hurts." She said laying her head down on me.
"Do you want some medicine or something?" I asked. I've never taken care of a sick child.
"Yes please." She said. I walked over to the medicine cabinet and started looking for what to get her. "I'm going to the bathroom." She said.
"Thanks for the update." I said. What medicine can I give a 10 year old? Aspirin? But how much? If I give her the wrong medicine I could like kill her or something! I should really buy her like kid medicine or something. Just then I heard an ear piercing scream from the bathroom. "CARRIE?" I screamed and ran to the bathroom. I opened the door and she was standing in the corner with a towel wrapped around her. "WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?" I asked. She pointed to the ground where her underwear was lying with a big red blob stained in the middle of it. I screamed higher than she had and jumped back. "HOLY FUCK YOU ARE DYING."
"I AM!?!" Carrie screamed and started to cry.
"YOURE GONNA LIKE BLEED OUT OR SOMETHING!" I screamed.
"BEN HELP!" Carrie cried. "I DONT WANNA DIE!"
"UM 911, WE NEED TO CALL 911." I said. Just then there was a knocking on the door. I ran to the door and Chloe was standing there with a bag of Chinese food and Allyson.
"I come baring food!" Chloe smiled.
"HELP CARRIE'S DYING!" I screamed.
"What?" Chloe asked. I pulled her in and she set the Chinese food down and then followed me to the bathroom where Carrie was sitting, still wrapped in the towel crying.
"SHES BLEEDING EVERYWHERE! SHES GONNA LIKE BLEED OUT AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO STOP IT! WATCH HER WHILE I CALL 911!" I freaked. Chloe started to laugh. "HER DEATH ISNT AMUSING CHLOE!"
"Ben, you are hysterical. She's not dying." Chloe laughed.
"THEN WHY IS THE BATHROOM COVERED IN BLOOD?" I screamed.
"Ben! She just got her period for the first time!" Chloe said.
"Wait what? But she's 10." I said.
"Some girls get it sooner than others. Hold Allyson." She said handing me the baby. "Do you have any pads here?"
"I have a pad of sticky notes in the drawer." I said.
"No, pads for periods. Take Allyson and go to the store and buy Carrie some pads. I'll clean Carrie up." She said standing Carrie up while I just looked at her in shock. "The longer you wait the more blood there is going to be in your bathroom." Chloe said.
"Right." I said. I ran down to the CVS down the street with Allyson and an hour later, I was back in the apartment carrying 6 bags.
"What did you buy the whole store?" Chloe laughed.
"I didn't know what to buy, so I just grabbed everything that looked right." I said.
"Really Ben. Really. Diapers." Chloe laughed holding up a box.
"I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO BUY!" I said.
"BEN YOU HAVE TWO SISTERS!" Chloe said.
"DOESNT MEAN I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEIR BODIES DO." I protested. Just then my phone buzzed and Eliza was calling me. "Hey El." I answered.
"Hey, how's it going?" Eliza asked.
"Great, your sister is just bleeding out of her girl parts currently. No biggie." I said.
"SHE GOT HER PERIOD!?!" Eliza freaked.
"Yeah, but don't worry. Chloe is helping me. Turns out diapers are not what you wear." I said.
"Oh my gosh. Bless Chloe." Eliza laughed. "Can I talk to her?" She asked. I gave the phone to Carrie who was lying in bed and came back out to Chloe who was playing with Allyson on a play mat.
"She's getting so big." I smiled.
"I know. Before I know it, we are going to be doing this same thing with Allyson." Chloe laughed.
"Thanks for this, and for helping with the pregnancy scare with Eliza, I don't know what I would do without you." I smiled. We slowly started to lean towards each other and then suddenly our lips hit. Holy crap I'm kissing her. Our kiss was broken by Allyson who started attempting to talk.
"You know I should go." Chloe said grabbing Allyson and standing up.
"Thank you for everything." I smiled.
"You're lucky your cute." She smiled.
"So you admit I'm cute." I smirked.
"Well I don't just kiss any guy." She laughed. "See ya Ben." She smiled and left. I closed the door behind her and leaned against it. Then Carrie came out holding my phone.
"I hate my life." She said.
"Sucks to be a girl." I said.
"It's so painful! And there's blood everywhere!" She said.
"Why don't we watch that movie and eat ice cream? I've heard ice cream makes girls feel better." I said.
"Can we lay in your bed and watch it?" She asked with her puppy eyes.
"I'd prefer not to have blood in my bed." I said. She looked at me with her puppy eyes and I couldn't say no. "Fine. But put on one of these diapers first." I said tossing her the box.
"Ben, these are for newborns." She said.
"IM NOT A GIRL OK!?!" I screamed.
