most of the votes, from my last chapter, were of Ana so here's the queen herself👑

Brad

The crowd still cheered as the four of us walked off stage. The loud screeching, screaming, shouting, chanting, singing - all mixed together as we exit the stage. The adrenaline I got was amazing, it felt as if I could do anything, I had tonnes of energy.

I removed my ear plugs and place them in my pocket. Our bags have already been put on the bus so we can leave as soon as we exit the building.

As we all pile on the bus I make my way to the back of the bus to call Maddie, like I have done everyday since being away.

I pressed the little phone button and put the phone to my ear. It rung... and rung... and rung... but no answer. I tried again another 4 times but still no answer.

I started to worry, but I remembered she's probably asleep, it's probably late over there anyway..

Narrator's P.O.V

Madison struggled to concentrate on basic daily tasks. She couldn't remove the image of Lily out of her head. Her dead, zombie-like corpse screaming and shrieking at her - Madison felt vulnerable, especially with no one by her side to help her. She called her parents, but they just said she'll be okay and that it was just a nightmare - Madison thinks otherwise and an argument erupted from herself and her parents. Madison said; 'I don't think it's 'just a nightmare' when my dead friend is screaming at me in my head!'

Madison is truly upset, she thought her parents could be there for her, she thought they would invite her to their house to take her mind off things - but it turns out that the two of them are leaving the country, well, her father is. He got called to go back on the job which means he's going back into the army. Madison couldn't cope with everything so she called one of her best friends that she knows who will always listen to her - Anastasia.

Madison

After my little breakdown I had earlier, I called Ana to come over and try and take my mind off everything. This whole thing is worse because I haven't been feeling great lately, I've been feeling sick, nauseous, dizzy and I've suddenly gone off foods I used to like. I don't know what's wrong with me.

As soon as Ana got here she hugged me so tight I could barely breathe, but I laughed it off. I started to explain everything from the very beginning.

Afterwards, she told me to put Netflix on and she will pick a movie to watch.

"I'll be back in a second," Ana said before leaving the room. I nodded and looked at the ring on my finger. It's been almost six weeks yet it feels like years. It's so empty and lonely without Brad's presence - I don't like it, not one bit. I hate sleeping alone at night, I don't feel safe without his arms around me and his chest pressed against my back. I miss him.

Ana came back with a bowl full of what looked like sweets, candy, chocolate.. whatever else contains a lot of sugar.

I asked Ana to sleep over tonight, she said yes which made me happy.

Like I said before, I don't like sleeping in this house by myself, Pip has always slept on our bed so I did have her company, but no human contact.

I set up the spare room for Ana, making sure everything is tidy and clean for her. This reminds me of when Emilia stayed with Lena, I don't miss the screeching baby at all to be honest. Lena is cute, but god does she have a set of lungs on her.

As the movie came to an end, Ana and I yawned at the same time, causing us to laugh.

"I'm going to bed, I'll see you in the morning," Ana left the room and slowly walked to the spare room. I tidied up the small mess of cushions and put them back on the couch where they belong. I turn the tv off and walk towards the door, Pip following me.

I crawl into the warm bed and brig the blanket up to my face to keep me warm. Pip jumped up and put her nose right next to my hand. I stroked her nose and slowly fell asleep.

Anastasia

I woke up and rubbed my eyes, adjusting myself to the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings. I'm still half asleep - I'm so tired! I was just about to fall asleep again when I heard fast footsteps and a slam of a door.

What's going on?

I walk towards Maddie's room to see her bed all messy, the blanket looked as if it was flung off her and the pillows were scattered everywhere. I heard coughing coming from the en-suite bathroom.

"Maddie? Are you alright?" I said softly through the small crack in the door. She just coughed again, and again.. and again before she flushed the toilet. I leaned against the wall as I waited for her, she's brushing her teeth I assume.

The door unlocks and opens to reveal Maddie. She looks awful. Tired, bags under her eyes, her skin looks pale and lifeless, her eyes were drained from all of the colour - they looked dark and smaller than normal.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" She nodded but whined, holding her head with her hands.

"Maddie, you look awful. I'm going to get you some medicine, okay? I'll be back soon!" I rush to the spare room and grab the most suitable looking clothes I brought - I only brought comfortable clothes, I wasn't expecting to run out to the store!

I rush out of the car and hurriedly walk into the store. I spot the medication part of the store and quickly walk towards it.

My eyes scan over different medication, I grab a bottle of pills and read the back, but nothing.

Eventually I just grabbed two boxes of paracetamol, just to be safe. I grab the boxes and proceed to the checkout, then rush back to the car to get back to Maddie.

Madison

Ana came back with paracetamol - what a life saver! Right now, I feel like I'm dying, no joke. I feel horrific. Ana gets me a glass of water and hands me two paracetamols. I thank her and place it on my tongue, then bring the glass up to my mouth and swallow it. I do the same again and drink the rest of the water to get rid of the nasty aftertaste the tablets left behind. I put the glass on the table and lay on the couch, waiting for the paracetamol to take action and relieve all of the pain my body is in.

"Thank you Ana," I smiled at her.

"No problem babe!" She smiled back and rubbed my shoulder.

"How are you feeling now?" She's asks as I rub my sore head. I groan.

"I still feel horrible. I've had this for a couple of weeks now, I've been feeling nauseous, dizzy, I've even lost my appetite! I don't know what the hell is wrong with me!" I try to make light of the situation and joke about it. Ana doesn't seem convinced though.
