Problems and More Secrets

   *Tuesday Night*

   The door opened. The girls were finally back! They all looked tired.

   "How was your day?," Sergio asked.

   Natalie ran up to Sergio and hugged him. "It was terrible! I'm so glad to be home with you guys!"

   "You guys should go to sleep," I said. They all nodded. We all went to our rooms and went to sleep.

  *Wednesday, 4:30 AM*

   I woke up in the middle of the night. I heard some shuffling in the living room. Sergio was still sleeping. He snored so loud. I got and walked to the door. I peeked outside the door and saw the fridge was open. I went to fridge to close it.

   "Couldn't go to sleep?," a voice called. I turned around and saw Kalia. She held a bottle of alcohol in her hand.

   "I just woke up because I heard something in here. Why are you awake?," I asked. She drank out of the bottle and sat down. She wasn't a drinker which was unusual.

   "How would you feel about someone who had a terrible past?," she asked. She looked me in with a worried look.

   "I don't know. Where is this coming from?," I said.

   "I was just curious. Forget I asked that," she said. She drank a couple of more.

   I grabbed her hand. "It's okay. You don't have to tell me. " She leaned in for a hug. I could hear her crying. I really wanted to know why she asked this. I didn't want to ruin the moment. She got up and walked to her room. She looked back and smiled. I smiled back. I went into my room and laid on the bed.

   "You like her don't you?," Sergio asked.

   "I don't know. Wait, you heard all of that?," I blushed. I tried to cover my face with the blanket but he pulled it down. He looked at me with deep determination.

   "I like someone too you know. I wish I could confess my feelings but I'm scared they don't feel the same way," he said.

   "Maybe you should tell this person how you feel. You never know unless you tell them," I smiled. Sergio put his hands on my waist and began to tickle me. "What the hell?! Stop! HAHAHAH."

   The only thing I could hear was me and him giggling. I wish everyone could be this happy.

  *Today* *Jernee's Point of View*

   I was cooking some food for everyone. Kalia woke up on the couch, sweating like hell. I got a cold towel and gave it to her.

   "Are you okay? Was it a bad dream," I asked.

   "Maybe. Or it's just really hot in here," Kalia giggled. She wiped herself down and grabbed a plate.

   "I was wondering if you could take me to the hospital. For some checkups," I said.

   "Sure," she said. She ate through the food like a beast. I don't blame her. I am a really good cook after all.

  *Later that day*

  I walked into the doctor's office. I hope the results were something good.

   "So? How were my results?," I asked.

   The doctor took off his glasses. He looked at his paper and rubbed his eyes"Have you been falling lately?"

   "No I haven't. Why?," I said. I bit my lip and cracked my thumb. Did I break a bone?
