Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 103

Katie's POV

Bolting up from the couch I sprint to the bathroom with fear that I'm going to spew the contents of my stomach onto the wall. There's nothing there to come up, I haven't been able to eat for two days.

Slamming my knees off the tiled floor in the bathroom I drop my head into the toilet bowl and choke up the unused digestive enzymes that lay in my stomach.

Arms wrap around me. One around my convulsing stomach and the other around my chest. Sophie's. She's too good she shouldn't have to put up with me when I do stupid things like this, I'm not good enough for her.

Hearing someone else come in I can't look and see who, I'm too busy fighting back tears.

"Has she eaten anything since I left?" Who I now know is Jen asks.

"No, she can't," Sophie replies as Jen's hand places on my back and she leans down beside me.

"You need to eat something, you can't keep throwing up stomach acid, it'll ruin your throat," She tells me and I turn my head to the side and reveal my tear battling expression to her. Her face is just as grief stricken as my own, if not worse.

Not able to release anything more I lean my back against the wall of the bathroom and immediately feel pain corse through it. Grabbing my lower back I try and hide the pain as best I can but it's beyond hide and seek now.

Jen kneels down in front of me and places her hand on my shoulder as she examines my expression. Tears run down it as I unsuccessfully hide the physical pain.

"Sophie and I are going to take you to your room, there you'll get a shower, get into bed and I'll bring up some dinner for you," She explains and I just nod not having the energy to protest.

Sophie stands timidly behind Jennifer not really knowing what to do and I don't blame her. I'm in bits, she shouldn't have to deal with this.

Reaching her hand out Jennifer helps me onto my shaky legs and wraps her arm around my waist and leads me to my room.

I hate looking this weak and helpless, I'm not that type of person. I'm strong, well at least I think I am.

After I'd gotten through a shower which had a lot of close calls at fainting I get changed and get into bed. I'm wearing a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms even though the house is perfectly warm. I feel incredibly cold even though I'm not.

Half asleep I lay on my back trying to relax my aching spine but no relief comes. I turned to drugs cause of this and now I've got two pains ripping away at me. I have to live with both of these for the rest of my life now, why am I such an idiot.

Trying to keep myself awake it's nearly impossible as I blink slowly and stare at the ceiling.

A soft knock sounds at the door and I waken slightly in anticipation of who it is.

Coughing slightly I grant them entry.

"Yeah come in," I speak up as I pull myself upright in bed and sit with my back against the soft head board.

"How're you holding up?" Sophie walks in with pity in her eyes.

"Better than I was," I smile reassuringly.

"Good I hate seeing you like that," She comments as she sits down on the other side of the bed with her legs over the side as she looks down playing with her fingers.

"Like what?" I wonder for clarification of what she's referring to.

"Weak," She admits and I swallow hating that she sees me like that.

"I hate you seeing me like this too if it's any consolation," I look down.

"Why?" She asks me curiously.

"You're not meant to put up with this it's not fair on you, you deserve better than this," I explain to her. Feeling her get closer to me she moves in beside me and turns my face to look at hers.

"There is no one better," She pauses and I'm taken off guard as I investigate her eyes.

"I love you and nothing will change that, we all have our struggles, yours aren't gonna scare me off. I'm staying right here," She runs her thumb back and forth along my skin.

"I love you too," I smile ever so slightly. Leaning into me her hand moves down to the side of my neck and I'm about to make contact with her lips-

"I hope you're hungry," Jen walks in with a cheery attitude most likely to improve my mood.

Turning to see her she has realised what she has walked in on and knows I want to kill her for it. Smiling awkwardly she forces her footing forward most likely to annoy now.

"What were you two up to?" She places a tray on my lap and I groan dropping my head back on the pillow.

"Okay I get it I'll go," She chuckles to herself.

"Eat that before you get into anything," She smirks as she closes the door and I can't help but to smile awkwardly. Turning my head back to Sophie I open my mouth to speak with a grin but am immediately interrupted by her lips.

A/N: How was it? What do you guys want to happen? Some storyline suggestions would be great
