The Bookworm Girl

22. So Unprepared

   Roy started blasting some random music once I shut my door. If you guys know me i'm not a huge fan of listening to music so I have no clue what this crazy music is. 

" Seeds were almost here! How do you like my car?" He smirked and glanced at me before looking back and focusing on the road once again. 

" What is this car called? Specifically.." I looked around the fancy car- wait didn't his family struggle a bit with money? I remember his mom saying that..hm, i'm just going crazy. 

" It's a 2017 Volvo S90, my uncle bought this car for no reason. So, last week he decided to hand it over to his favorite Nephew. If your wondering my uncles pretty rich and that explains his recklessness." My mouth was left open, ready for some bug to go in. I glance at Roy only to see him more focused on the road than before. I look outside my window, but I had to look back- maybe this could be a symptom before an attack. 

" Roy how about we pull over? I think we can take a small five minute break right?" He nodded and pulled over like I said. He pulled out the eyes and moved his seat back and laid back pulling his left arm over his eyes and sighed. I took this time to fish out my phone.

To: Tally

From: Isabel

Were taking a small break, Roy needed some fresh air. Well be there soon :)

Sent 

Not even a minute later she responds. I'm so happy Tally always has her phones ringer on.

From: Tally

To: Isabel

Alright, I hope your both okay see you soon. 

   I unbuckled my seatbelt. I set my phone on the dash board and opened my door for Roy. When I was younger I used to feel sick to my stomach just being in a car. Maybe he's just car sick? That can always be an option.

" Hey Roy?" Right when I started talking he groaned. Okay it's probably the beginning of another attack. 

" Seeds..just start driving I don't want to make you late." I fiddled with my fingers, to be honest I don't know what to do. Should I just drive to the funeral and let him rest there- wait I can't leave him there alone, something can happen. I'm so not gonna risk that from happening. I slowly get out of the car and walk quickly to his side and waited for him to scootch over. 

   I knew if I tried helping talking for touching him he'll get more irritated- it happens almost overtime. It's so hard to see him struggling like this..just so vulnerable. I hate knowing he has to suffer more than others each and everyday, having at least two attacks per day. Sometimes if he's lucky he has only one, which is a blessing to Roy. I can see it in his eyes each time, the happiness, the joy his eyes are just brighter than they already are. 

I don't really know how to explain in unless your here in person.

   I start the car and take off playing some relaxing music to hopefully soothe his headache. In less than three minutes we arrived at the cemetery, the place where my foster parents would be buried. My eyes got blurry as I got out, but I had to give a speech. Deep breathes, just deep breathes and you'll be fine. 

" Roy, you can stay here if it's more comfortable, i'll be back in less than one minute. I'm gonna find Luca okay." I whispered to him. He only groaned and shut his eyes tightly, and my friend with that I ran to find Luca.

I walk up to where the people where crowding around two huge holes. I was just called up for my speech, i'm not exactly nervous i'm just slightly unsure of what i'm gonna say because I Isabel, has not prepared a speech for my foster parents funeral. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"Hi everyone. As you know my foster parents were soulmates. They truly knew the meaning of love unlike a few of us-er..no offense to anyone. My parents were the best they could be to a foster child who lost everything at a young age. They were still willingly to still take a broken child under their wing as one of their own. I know Toby you must be so confused and lost right now, but I will guide you every step of the way I hold that promise. Today we shouldn't be upset and sad, instead we should be happy that they are still together, that they are at peace enjoying every moment and we should be excited knowing that they are waiting for us when we reach heaven. They'll be waiting. Love you like my parents." I nodded and walked back to Toby where we started crying. I picked him up and carried him to our car- I already told Auntie and Lilly, Tally, Ryan. I reach the car to see Roy passed out in the passenger seat, Luca slightly closing his eyes, maybe Roy put up a fight? That's the only reason I can come up with for him to be so tired. 

" I'm gonna take Toby and Roy back to my place if that's okay. I don't want him you know alone at home since his mom isn't there or dad. " Luca nodded before getting out of the driver seat, but before he left he grabbed my arm softly.

" I think we should talk with his doctor about it. It's only getting worse Isabel. I'll look over him four days a week and Friday to Sunday you?" I nodded, I can definitely watch over him. 

" I'll be the other way around. I know you work Luca, i'll be able too." He nodded and walked off towards Tally. I got into the car and drove off.
