The Bookworm Girl

17. Cuddles

   I've been watching Roy all day today, to be exact i've been watching him for five hours now- which makes that be nine in the morning. I didn't let Toby go to school because he's still shaken up about what happened earlier. He woke up from a nightmare not long ago, so now i'm worried about them both. 

   I texted my parents telling them i'm at Roy's house, only with my mom I was more detailed with explaining how i'm worried about him and that stuff, I also told her not to worry because I can take care of him. I just hope she doesn't ask about Toby because i'm a terrible liar- or at least i'm told that.

  I left my laptop on the couch and headed to the kitchen to make some breakfast for the boys. You know what i'm gonna make, i'm making the best breakfast meal ever! Well at least tempt to, because i've never tried to make this recipe. My mom used to make it for me when I was younger, to say it tasted heaven is an understatement.

   I went through the cupboards and found a packet of Hormel, other words real crumbled bacon. Then I grabbed six eggs, some sea salt and pepper, then some green onions. Nothing tasted better without some onions. I preheated the oven to 450 before preparing the muffin slot.    

   After breaking the eggs into each slot, drizzling some bacon and onions I was finally done and shoved the container into the oven. I wiped the yokes stuff on my apron and started cleaning the floor and countertop, because little me had a big accident with the eggs and bacon. Now thats all I'm saying. 

   I grabbed some blue waterfall printed metal plates, their so pretty, it's like pitch perfect. I grabbed each slot and placed them on three separate plates. Three for Roy, two for me, and one for Toby since he doesn't eat a lot. And with that I headed upstairs holding three plates did I forget to mention with a glass cup of orange juice. This spells out the word disaster. 

  I didn't want to make a second trip back so I thought it would be smart to carry everything up the stairs- not the brightest idea especially coming from me. I almost spilled the orange juice on every step making me squeal every single step of the way. I walked into his bedroom where all all stayed to see Toby cuddled up against Roy. Toby was a mouse sleeping never making a noise, while Roy had his mouth slightly opened snoring so quiet I barely heard him. 

I quietly set down the plates hoping not to wake up Toby because he's an extremely light sleeper he'll wake up with any noise. I pulled out my phone and snapped several photos the first one with flash by accident. Toby started groaning making Roy mumble and flip over onto his stomach and stuffed his face into the soft pillows. He is so lucky not to have bed hair like me, Toby has a little, but its not that bad. Mines everywhere. 

   I took a step forward and my toe cracked making Toby wake up rubbing his eyes plastering a huge smile when he sees me. I awkwardly smile.

"Hey Buddy glad your awake?" He kept smiling.

" Morning Izzy, what's that?" He points adorably at the plate of orange juice and the breakfast muffin with raspberries on the side- it was last minute. 

" I just made breakfast I hope you like it. Here sit up." Toby immediately sat up elbowing Roy in the process which earned a groan from the monster- I mean Roy. Roy, yup, meant to say that. 

"Give me, giv-me! Izzyyyyy." Toby started pouting, I handed him the plate almost spilling it with my great balance skills. He immediately starts gulping down the orange juice then takes a huge bite out of the breakfast muffin and starts moaning.

"MMMM! Izza ef so guod!MMMM." I laugh at his face, he looks like an adorable chipmunk right now. He ate half of his muffin when he started jumping on Roy trying to get him up.

"Roy!"Another jump on his back. Roy didn't even move for six jumps but on the seventh we heard a loud groan.

" Kid I swear. You need to get off I need my beauty sleep-" Toby jumps off him as he turned around and slowly sat up in sitting position Toby shoved the rest of the muffin in his mouth making Roy choke.

   I ran and started hitting his back hard. Thank goodness he didn't spit everything out. He looks like a daddy chipmunk. Oh that would be us someday with our child- whoah! Isabel your getting ahead of yourself, that's never gonna happen. After a hard swallow he smiled to wide it would technically be called a grin.

"That.. was..amazing! Je-eprety ( I gave him a look saying not to say inappropriate ) I didn't know you could cook, well bake whatever." I gave an embarrassing smile, I feel heat rising to my cheeks. I cover my face with my hands.

"Thanks.. i'm gonna go..yeah, my oven needs my help?..bye!" I ran backwards hitting a wall. After giving an awkward laugh and oops, I left to the Kitchen and patted the oven before going into the living room and grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, and you know what channel I went to? 139 Say Yes To The Dress, I grabbed my book and started reading and watching at the same time because I can multitask? Just kidding I mainly focused on reading my book, I just didn't want to read in silence. There that's my excuse.

   After about an hour I hear Toby yell my name.

"Izzy! Izzy!" I placed my bookmark before closing the book and running upstairs. I ran into his room to see the plate shattered on the floor along with the glass of orange juice- that explains the noise I heard earlier hmph. Roy's on the floor with his eye lids halfway closed. That's when it clicks.

Roys seconds away from having another attack also known as a seizure. I pulled Toby out of his way and grabbed a sticky note when he fully went in. My heart was literally shattering in that moment. Why did he have to suffer. 

I guess fate is the answer, sadly.
