Unpredictable

chapter 6

Alex's P.O.V

The drive to school with Niall was silent and nauseous, but somehow I managed to get through both. In one of my classes we run, I do it everyday and I'm good at it, unfortunately my teacher made me sit out because I puked right before she blew the whistle for us to start running.

"Holland! Go home alright? You're too sick to run with us, we don't need ya passin' out while you're runnin'. You could hurt yourself if you fall, see ya tomorrow in class!" I feel embarrassed. I nodded and made my way towards my school bag so I can pick it up and walk home. Andy and Niall are still in class, I don't want to bother them, so I begin to walk home, but call Nikki halfway to the dorm to come pick me up.

"What's the matter?" Nikki asks.

"I cannot catch my breath for two hours without vomiting! It sucks! I got kicked out of class today, most embarrassing thing of my life." I laugh and she asks me if I'm going to do anything in her car.

"No, I already did at that stop sign over there, I couldn't make it to the trash can on time," My cheeks turn red and she rubs my back, then drives to our dorm.

Being in my bed is the most relaxing thing in the world to me, I grab my medicine bottle from underneath my pillow, but it isn't there. I try not to let my nerves get the best of me as I search everywhere for it. Nikki goes out to buy crackers and sodas so I'll stop regurgitating, she doesn know about my pills, no one does. Just me and Andy.

To Niall: Can you come over after you get out of school? I'm at home.

From Niall: Sure and why are you home already? How'd you get home?

The door knocks and Nikki opens it, telling me that Niall is here and she's leaving.

"Call me if anything happens." She whispers to me, then leaves.

"Why are you pale and purple? It's like there's no blood in your body. Are you o-"

"Did you take the pills that were underneath my pillow?" I don't want to say hi or what's up. He took them I know he did because he isn't responding to me.

"You did didn't you?" I squint my eyes at him and hold my hand out.

"They fell from underneath your pillow whenever I grabbed your stuffed frog, so I wanted to Google to see what it meant and-well, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have taken them. I didn't take any, no one else took any. I just looked up what they were there for." He says handing them to me.

"So, what do you think about me now that I take these?" I sit the bottle next to me and he shrugs.

"Nothing. I just didn't know you, um- that you throw up a lot." He studders and I stare at him with a blank face.

"I tend to throw up all of the time, is that a problem to you?" I ask swallowing one a pill right now.

"N-no, but is that why you're tiny?"

"You're anorexic."

"I heard she starves herself."

"Skinny bitch."

"Twig."

All of the rude names and insults flood back to my head. I just stare at Niall as if he had just ran over an animal and laughed about it. He was sickening to me once he had said that.
