The Other Letang

A Time of Doubt

(A/N)
It's not too bad but it is inappropriate.

Elise's POV

I woke up and was sleeping on Geno. I looked around the room and saw all the guys sleeping except for Kris. I got up and saw him making breakfast. He turned when he heard me walk in. He smiled "Hi Eli, how are you?" I smiled "Good, if you don't mind I'm not hungry. So just give my breakfast to one of the boys." He looked at me weirdly but nodded "Okay, it's just weird you always eat breakfast... Now to think about it you didn't go with us out to eat yesterday. What did you have for dinner?"

I paused to think about what I had. The I realized I didn't eat dinner. I looked at Kris "Nothing, I'm not hungry. Besides whenever I eat I throw it up again. I think I have the flu." He nodded "Fine but your eating breakfast."

I rolled my eyes "No Kris I'm not. Thank you for looking out for me but I'm an adult I can make my own decisions." He shook his head "For once can you listen to me! Just eat breakfast and I'll shut up about it. I nodded "Fine!"

By the time Kris got done all the boys were up. I made fruit salad and placed it on the table. Everyone sat down and ate. Sid and Pascal sat next to me. I picked at my food with my fork but didn't eat it. I moved it so it would look like I ate. When Pascal turned his head and no one was looking I put my bacon on his plate.

I got up from the table "Well I'm done. I'm going up to my room." Kris shook his head "No you didn't eat." I showed him my plate "Yes I did!" He shook his head "I saw you put your bacon on Pascal's plate." Pascal spoke up "Ohhh! That's why it looked like I was eating my bacon but my pile wasn't getting any smaller!"

Kris glared at me "Sit down!" I glared back "Vous êtes le bâtard!(You bossy bastard!)" He just rolled his eyes. I ate two pieces of bacon and went up to my room.

I layer down on my bed. My stomach was killing me! I ran to the bathroom and through up. I then brushed my teeth and walked back down stairs.

When I got down Sid looked at me "You don't look so good Elise. Are you okay? Are you sure it's just the flu?" I nodded "yeah I'm fine."

Geno who was standing next to him said "I make Borsch for you just like Mama Malkin does when I sick." He then walked to the kitchen. I yelled to Geno "No Geno it's fine!" He didn't listen he started to get the ingredients ready and sent Jordon and Flower to get the other ingredients I didn't have.

I lied to Sid and Geno. I wasn't fine. I felt like I was going to die or something. The pain was unreal I just wouldn't admit it.

A little later Geno came out with two bowls of his Russian soup. When he gave it to me he was so happy. He was so proud of himself. I smiled "Thank you G!" I look a spoon full of it even though I want hungry.

It tasted so good. I turned to Geno "This might be the best soup I ever had." He nodded "Borsch always good! Momma makes it best! Have to try Momma's sometime." I nodded and smiled I loved Geno's mom Natilia she was the sweetest lady ever and, raised a great son.

When I finished the Borsch I put my dish in the dish washer and sat back down. It was the first food I didn't throw up in days. I leaned my head on Geno's shoulder and rested my feet on Sid's lap.

Kris walked out and took a picture of us. I swear Kris always took pictures of everything. He smiled at me "You feeling better sis?" I nodded "Yeah for now but I'm still super tired." He looked at "You sleeped like 10 hours how are you still tired?" I shrugged "I don't know."

We decided to play Jenga since I love Jenga! Each time it was my turn I would flick it out with my finger. I got Kris pissed off "Elise play the game right!" I looked at his seriously "Kris the professional Jenga players play like this! I'll even show you the video!"

Everyone was laughing while Kris was trying to be serious because he hates loosing.

My next turn I slowly pushed it out with my middle finger. All the boys started laughing again. When it was Max turn who was sitting next to me I said "You have to push it out with this finger it goes quicker." I held up my middle finger and put it in Kris' direction.

He shook his head I looked at him "What?" He glared "You know what your doing and Dad wouldn't like it!"

Eventually Kris knocked over the Jenga tower. I looked at him and said "See it's because you don't know how to play the game correctly."

The rest of the day was fine the dinner came around. I made all the boys hamburgers, hotdogs, Stromboli, and tacos. They actually ate everything. I didn't eat anything. I wasn't hungry so I skipped dinner.

Sid's POV

I noticed for the second time Elise didn't eat. When I lived with Mario she was like that. But that was because... I can't even think about it. I just hope it's not what I'm thinking.

She walked up to her room a few minutes ago. I decided to go up and check on her. When I knocked and her bedroom door she didn't answer. So I walked in. When I looked in her room I saw the picture of us two at Halloween and smiled.

When I turned my head I saw something I saw so many times before and I wished I would never see again.

There she was sitting hunched over the toilet throwing up. I ran over and rubbed her back. When she was done she started to cough into her elbow when she pulled away I saw it covered in blood.

She tried to hide it but I looked at her "You have to go to the hospital now!" She shook her head "I'm not going Sid not again."

I gasped "Elise this is cancer! This isn't something that just gets better by sitting around!"

She frowned with water eyes "Sid I know that!" I was so mad and upset "Then why don't you want to go to the doctors? You can die!"

She was crying by now "Well Sid maybe I don't want to make it through it this time! I don't know if I can keep fighting!"

Once she said that it hit me hard. She was one of the most positive people that I have ever met. She always smiled and was kind to everyone. She always brightened up the room. To see her like this killed me. What do you tell a person when they don't want to live anymore?

If I was the stars she was the moon. If I was the king she was the queen. If it was dark she was my light. She was my saving grace. In a time of doubt... I was her hope.
