Undiscovered

19.

(Hey guys! Omg thank you for all of my reads!!! I know I updated last night and it was quite a long update, but I was demanded to update again tonight because she's up to date with it all. Sassy motherfucker!! But yeah, I hope you all enjoy this update too! PS; This takes place on Wednesday, the day Elizabeth goes to Chester for Emilee. A little confusing going back in time but it'll make sense soon. Sorry for the long note. Okay, bye!)

Jessica's POV

I woke up with an uneasy feeling to the atmosphere. As if something wasn't right, out of place even, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was quite dark in my room so I could tell it certainly wasn't the morning. I was so confused and didn't even know what day it was. Tuesday? Wednesday? I can't remember.

God. Staying up late last night really didn't do me any favours. I feel like I've been pissed all weekend and woken up with a stinking hangover. Shit. My head is pounding. Ergh.

I roll over in bed, which I regret, my bed is freezing. I finally find my phone on the floor and press the middle button for the screen to light up. Shit. Way too bright. 

It's 2:45pm, what the fuck? How did I manage to sleep so late? Well, I did go to sleep at 6 this morning so that's a pretty tidy sleep I've had.

*6 missed calls; Mother*

Oh shit. How could I of slept through all of those calls? Well, my phone is on silent. I giggle to myself at my clumsiness as I clamber out of my warm bed into the cool air. It's refreshing but I don't like it, not right now at least.

I grab a hoodie from my wardrobe as I make my way down into the living room before ringing my mother back. What's so urgent that she's rung me 6 missed calls? That women  bewilders me.

It's a good 15 seconds before my mother picks up her phone.

"Alright, mam?" My voice is croaky from lack of sleep.

"Where the hell are you? I've rung you 6 times! It's nearly 3 in the afternoon Jess!" Just when I thought I would have a pleasant greeting, my usual mother returns. Great. She's pissed off.

"Mam, I was awake until 6 this morning finishing off work for college! What's so important anyway?"

My mother sighs on the other end of the phone before responding to me.

"I guess you haven't seen the note I've left, have you?" What is she on about?

"Mam, I've just woken up. I rung you before doing anything else. Out with it!" She's starting to piss me off and I'm getting anxious. Where the hell is she anyway? I swear she should be home. She didn't tell me she was going anywhere yesterday. My confusion is taking over right now and with a lack of sleep and an empty stomach, it's not a good mix.

"Shit, Jess. I'm in Chester with Emilee.." What? Why the fuck is she up there?

"What are you doing up there? A surprise visit without me?" Sarcasm deep in my voice, my mother was adamant that Emilee wasn't moving to Chester for schooling on her own and now she's up there being best friends with her!

"Jess, just shut up for a minute so I can explain everything to you!" Christ this must be important.

"..right. So Emilee has been taken into hospital, rushed in. She has lost a lot of blood so she has had to have blood transfusions. The doctor isn't sure what exactly Emilee has but she has a blood disease and by the sounds of it, it's a rare one as it has no cause to it. She needs a few more tests done so they can find out what the hell is going on. Harry brought her in and he hasn't left since. I've spoken to Lilie. I've told her what's happened but I haven't told her everything. She doesn't need to know yet until we are sure what's going on. She's in a bad state, Jess." Woah, hold up. Did my mam just say that Emilee has been rushed into hospital? What the fuck is going on? I hope to God this is some kind of sick joke before I break down and have a panic attack. I can feel my breathing starting to become more and more erratic.
