Love in Mysterious Way

second Family

Karen

Quinn looks up and she was so pale. I touched the back of her neck and she was burning up... "Olivia... can I talked to you?" I asked to Olivia. We went to the kitchen as she was preparing for lunch. I don't want to worry her, and Quinn was just having fever. But still sick. "Any problem?" she asked me. I was about to say something when kyla called from the leaving room. "Aunty Olivia..." we both run to the living room and we saw James carrying Quinn. "WH---what happen to herr...?" I said ass I rush up to her side. "She said she wants to talk to you but she collapse." "She's so hot." "Please... call someone..." I said, "I'm calling 911--- "no... no don't just call a doctor, we can't bring her to the hospital, this will risk your chance of seeing her." I said to Olivia. "I don't care; I want her safe... she's more important to me." "No... I can't do that to her, I want her to be happy, just please call a doctor." I insisted and well they listened. "She's fine. She must have eaten something that triggers her allergy." The doctor said. "No... she didn't eat any chocolate she knows she has allergy to that." I said directly to the doctor. "Are you sure?" I looked up the everyone. "K—Karen ..." Quinn said. She's waking up. "I'm here Quinn" rushing up to her side. "Everyone's here." Quinn slowly opens her eyes. And look at us. "I... can I have water please..." she said as she was trying to get up... "No Quinn, you're too weak to get up. Please stay in bed." I beg. Everyone leave except Olivia and the doctor. I gave her the water then she asked me if she could sit. "You know your allergy with chocolates don't you?" the doctor asked. Quinn slowly nods her head and looked down. "Did you eat any?" "Ju---just a little... I... I don't want to upset grace. S—sorry to worry you..." she said in a very low tone, "its okay Quinn..." I gave her a reassuring hug. The doctor left after giving her some prescriptions. Quinn was asleep after she took her meds. I was worried sick, but everything was fine now. I decided to leave be back tomorrow to bring Quinn home. "You sure you don't want to stay?" Olivia asked. "Yes... I'm still worried but you're here you could watched her." "Don't worry... shell be fine." Reassuring me." "I know... just when she gets up, make sure she eats something. She didn't have any this lunch..."then I said my goodbye.

QUINN

Karen was already home, but it was fine she lives nextdoor JJ then there was a knock at the door. For now I don't know whose room I'm in. I didn't say a word though. "Hey..." it was kyla and grace. Grace quickly runs to my side and felt my forehead. "They said you where sick." She said with teary eyes. "I'm...I'm fine now, don't w—worry..." "How you feeling?" kyla asked. "I'm okay..." "I'm sorry Quinn." "Its fine, you don't have to apologize." Silent took as a minute before she spoke again. "Aunt Olivia asked me to see if you're awake and tell you that dinner is ready." I nod "thank you, but I'm not hungry." "But Karen said to make sure you eat dinner." "Ill is down in a minute." I said as my phone rings. It was niell. "Okay...." She said then she carried grace out of the room. "Hey..." I said "hey... how are you?" niell asked." "I'm fine...you" "I miss you." "I... I have to go. They're calling for dinner." "Don't you miss me? Can you just skip dinner to talk with me?" "No... no sorry... bye." then I quickly hung up. He sounds like drunk. "KY.... How was your friend? Is she still coming nextweek?" I heard James asks kyla. "Yeah, is it okay if m friend stay her a couple of week's aunt ollivia?" "But of course just don't bring any guy in your room and we won't be having any problem with your dad." Mom said then they all laugh. "Come join us Quinn." James said as he noticed me standing at the door. I sat next to mom. And we said our grace. Mom gave me a big portion that I wasn't comfortable off. I'm still not used to eat a lot though. And kyla notices it. "Any problem with the food Quinn?" she asked. "Don't you like it?" mom said. I put down my fork and lean a little to my mom's side. "C—can I talk to Karen p—please..." I stuttered. "Hey... its okay, you can tll me if you don't want your food, I can cook you other dish if you want." Mom said, "No... No. p—please. The fo-od was fine; I just need too talk to Karen. Momm please." I said as tears fall down to my checks. "I'll get Karen now," James said as he gets up from his chair. "Please calm down..." he continues. I minute later Karen was outside the kitchen talking to mom. Then she sat next to me. "It's okay Quinn." I shake my head as tears kept falling. She then grab my plate and"d help me up. "Please excuse us..." she said then we went to the room I was in earlier. "Hey... it's okay. You can do this." She said smiling to me reassuring me everything will be fine. Like always. I grab my fork and start eating a little. I have eaten almost half of it. Then put down my fork. "That's okay... you can stop if your full." She grab my plate and put it aside." I'm sorry..." "You don't have to. Its fine Quinn...I'm always here to help you." "I'm... I'm giving you a hard time... didn't I?" "No Quinn, look..."

I have ordered pizza for dinner then someone knocks at the door. "In a second..." I said. It was James. "Sorry to disturbed you but Quinn was looking for you." he said. "Is she okay?" "I guess not. She was crying when where about to have dinner." Shit.... I forgot to tell them 'bout her eating disorder. "Okay..." I went next door and they where at the kitchen, "sorry... she was looking for you when where about to eat." Olivia said. I told her bout her eating disorder and she understands. I sat next to her and she shakes her head as tears keeps falling. It hurts to see her like this. I grab her plate and excuse us. After she ate almost half of plate she put down her fork." I'm sorry..." "You don't have to. Its fine Quinn...I'm always here to help you." "I'm... I'm giving you a hard time... didn't I?" "No Quinn, look...you're a sister to me, and it hurts me to see those tears in face. I love you so much that I can't afford to send you back home tomorrow." I said smiling to her and wiping her tears. "Iwant to see those smiles that light up the entire room, I want to hear those laugh that makes my heart melt. And you know what?" she shakes her head no. "I wanna hear that lovely voice when you sing at the bathroom during your bath." I said. "I'm not singing..." she said as her checks turn red. "Okay... okay your not singing. Your reading?" I joked and she smiled. "There yah go... that smile make my day." I kissed her forehead then her nose but she look up so the kiss went to her lips. "I love you Quinn." "I love you too Karen" then kissed her faced. I know she hated it. But I'm trying to make her happy then I started tickling her. She burst out laugh and begging me to stop. That's then we both realized that everyone was around and kyla was recording it. As for Quinn, she hides at my back so I quickly get up. "You both are so cute." Kyla said. I asked Olivia for a talk. "Is she okay?" Olivia asked. "How was she staying there Karen." "She don't feel like she was part of the family, Trina was treating her good, but the girl has her own family. Joanna, was at her age where her bullies. Joanna and her best friend Hilary. And the couple has been blaming her for why Joanna and her group had been called for detention. She was been doing well in her eating disorder though but sometimes she was having troubles on dishes. When she found out about you, she doesn't believe it until Trina talk to her. She gave her your photo. And that's when she shows me. Then I saw you after that." "I want her back Karen..." she said. "It's not too late, she just turned 17, and you can still get her back. She would love it." "But how..." "I had been studying her case Hun," James said. "Iknow you want her custody. We can get her." after tat talk I said my goodbye and kissed Quinn goodnight.
