I pay for the pizza and carry the boxes into the living room. The smell of melted cheese and cooked meat fills the room.
"Thankyou Adelaine" They all cheer. Without a second to spare, they were all hands in and stuffing their faces.
I've eaten a few slices of pizza and i begin to feel sick. I had to run up to the bathroom. Without saying a word i sprint up the flight of stairs and bolt into the bathroom. I'm not usually like this over pizza.
"Are you okay my love? What's wrong? What's happened? Do you want me to call someone?" I get bombarded with questions. He kneels beside me and pulls my hair behind my ears and holds it in place.
"I'm okay, i probably just ate too much pizza at once or had a piece of dodgy meat, nothing to worry about i'm sure" i reassure him.
"Finished?" I nod "best brush your teeth before you come down" he chuckles and exits the room.
I stand up and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My skin pale and eyes red. This isn't like me. I always order the same thing and i normally eat triple the amount. Maybe it was just a fault in the restaurant, nothing to be concerned about, right?
I brush my teeth and walk back downstairs to find Lily finally asleep on Blake's lap. How long have i been up there?
"I'll take her to bed" Katie offers and i nod in agreement.
"Hot chocolate anyone?" They all raise their hands like primary school children desperate to answer a question.
I walked through the Kitchen door and a draft of hot air rises up my body. I brush it off and flick the switch on the kettle. The sound gradually increases and it rings in my ears. It's all i can hear. My head begins to spin and my eyes blur.
"Blake! Blake!" I hear the voice of Katie slowly echo through the halls. My blinks are slow until i hit full darkness.
