-Kirah-
On the way home from school I used the bike Lip had stole to quickly get to Chloe's middle school because I promised her that I'd walk her home. When I got there she was sat with Carl waiting."Hey," I smiled when I saw her. "Did you have a nice day at school."
"It was alright." She said, "how's Aunt Katie?"
"She's okay, babes. She'll still be in bed at home."
I tried to sound absolutely fine with it but I have no idea if it worked. I should probably explain: Chloe isn't my biological sister but I treat her like it because she's been with us for years. Her Mom, Roxanne Williams, was best friends with my Mom, Katherine Parker, but Roxanne died of cancer when Chloe was almost 3. They have no other family and Roxanne and Chloe stayed with us while Roxanne was sick. My Mom was her godmother and became her legal guardian when Roxanne died.
Carl had decided to come round to ours so when we got home I called Fiona.
"Hi, Kirah."
"Hey, Fiona. I just wanted to let you know that Carl is round at our place."
"I was wondering why it had taken so long for him to walk home from school. Thanks, Kirah."
"It's okay."
"Hey, how's your Mom? Does she fancy coming out tonight with me and V?"
"Uh, she's in bed at the minute."
"Oh, is she okay?"
"Yeah, it's just one of those days."
"Okay, well let me know if you need anything?"
"No, you have fun tonight! Everything will be fine here."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"Bye."
While Carl and Chloe went and did who know's what in Chloe's room, I went to check on my Mom to see her still asleep in bed. I walked over to her and woke her softly, "Mom, have you eaten anything?"
She shook her head, "no."
I jogged downstairs and made her a sandwich before filling up a couple of bottles of water and taking them up to her.
"Mom," I said, sitting down on her bed.
She turned over groggily, "yeah?"
"Here," I gestured to the sandwich and the water. "You need to eat and stay hydrated or you'll feel worse."
After a couple of seconds of silence, she sat up slightly, resting against her pillows, and thanked me softly before taking a bite out of the sandwich and having a drink of water.
"Do you want to have a girls night tonight?" I asked as she continued to eat her sandwich.
"Haven't you got plans with Lip?"
"Well, yeah but I can cancel. Lip won't mind."
"No, babes, it's okay. I'm going to have an early night tonight, anyways."
I nodded, "okay."
After making sure she ate the whole sandwich I moved the plate and was about to leave when she said, "I'm sorry, babe."
I turned back to her and gave her a soft smile, "it's okay, Mom. Get some rest and drink your water; I want it all gone before I get home."
She gave me a disingenuous half smile and took a sip of her water before getting comfortable again in her bed. I left the room and took the plate downstairs.
