"Bella? Bella is that you, this is your father," A familiar mans voice says.
I sit on my bed stunned, a tear falls from my eye and rolls down my face.
"Hey Mija you coming?!" My mama yells from down stairs.
I instantly hang up the phone and reply back to my mom, "coming."
I quickly wipe the tear away and slick my wet hair back. I take deep breath and close my eyes; then get up and make my way down stairs.
** Next day**
I wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. I walk to the bathroom and feel dizzy all of a sudden. I get on my knees , and clutch the toilet. Suddenly I feel something coming up my throat and I put my head over the toilet.
"Mija you should get going school starts soon," My mom says walking into my room, " ¿Donde Estas Mija?"
"In he- blaahhhhh next thing I know it I'm puking my guts out in the toilet.
My mom rushes to the bathroom to see me puking in the toilet, she rushes over to me grabbing a ponytail and puts my hair into a bun and rubs my back.
I bring my head up only to bring it back down and puke some more. "It's ok Mija get it all out," my mom says comforting me.
As a finish puking I look over at my mom and she's stares at me with a sincere look in her eyes.
" Vamos Mija, cepíllate los dientes, recuéstese, no tiene que ir hoy a la escuela," My mom says helping me to the sink.
I brush my teeth and carefully get into my bed trying not to mess up my stomach any more than it is.
"I'm sorry Mija, you want me to stay with you?" My mom says sitting on the edge of my bed.
"No it's ok I'll manage I can ask one of my friends to stay with me," I say sitting on of my pillows.
"Ok well I'll make you some Manzanilla tea, but then I have to leave," she says kissing my forehead.
She leaves my room and I just lay my head back and just stare at the ceiling for a few seconds. I grab my phone and call Mikey. After three rings and he doesn't answer I text him.
M= Mikey B=Bella
B- I know you have school but would come stay with me today I don't like being in an empty house alone
I wait for him to reply but he doesn't, I guess he's still asleep .
So I text the next best person, Ricco.
P= Piña/Ricco B=Bella
B- Hey Piña, I know you probably have school but would you mind staying with me today. I'm sick and I don't like to be alone
P- Of course be over in a sec💓😋
I set my phone down and wait for my mom.
"Hola Mija, here's your tea, did you find someone to stay with you?" My mom asks handing me the tea.
I take a sip of the tea and feel the hot substance go down into my stomach calming it.
"Yes I did he will be here in a few," I say after taking another sip of my tea.
"Oh who is coming?" My mom asks sitting down beside me.
"Just Ricco , I guess he doesn't that's school right now," I say.
"Ok well I'm going to be late see you later, I have a late shift I'm sorry I'll be home by ten see if Ricco can make you some soup, oh and put some Vaporub," she pats my head then exist my room.
A few minutes later I hear the door shut, she's gone. I take a few more sips of my tea and stare frantically at my phone. I've never been good with being in a house alone, it gives me anxiety. I here the doorbell ring and I speed walk down the stairs and open the door to see Ricco with a pink itsriccotho sweatshirt on and some grey sweats.
"Hey Bella, I brought you this," Ricco says with a big goofy grin on his face.
I look at his hands and see a matching pink sweatshirt and some itsriccotho shorts.
"Aw you didn't have to bring me these," I say giving him a quick hug.
"It's ok I had some extra merch so I thought I'd bring you some," He says smiling, " So can you let me in the house."
"Oh yeah sorry," I say laughing opening the door so he can come in.
"So what do you wanna do today?" Ricco asks sitting on the couch.
"We could go to the gas station and get some movies from redbox," I say sitting by him.
"Okay," He says smiling, " oh here put on your merch girl, you gotta show off ma merch."
"Alright, be right back," I say taking the clothes from his hand, and jog upstairs to my bathroom.
I feel a lot better after drinking the tea, so I think I should be fine. I shut the bathroom door and put on the clothes then put my hair into some French braids. Once I'm finished I put my dirty clothes in the hamper and go back down stairs to see Ricco on his phone. Once I'm at the bottom of the stairs Ricco looks up at me and bites his bottom lip.
"You look good in my merch," He says with a smirk.
"Thanks," I say flushing.
" So do you wanna go now or later?" Ricco asks.
"Ugh now if that's ok," I say walking over to the coach we're Ricco is sitting.
"Ok yeah that good, Ugh Do you mind if I go to the bathroom before we leave?" Ricco asks.
"No it's alright , there is one in my room, mine is at the top of the stairs to the left," I say.
"Ok be right back," He says.
I watch him walk up the stairs and go into my room. Ding dong I jump at the sound of the doorbell and look at the door, who could it be? I walk over to the door and slowly open it. To my surprise Mikey stands in my door step with a floral shirt on with some white pants and in his hands he has some white roses.
"Hey babygirl," Mikey says pulling me by my waist giving me a hug.
"Uh hey Mikey," I say excepting the hug my hands around his neck.
"What, you don't sound happy to see me," He says letting go of me with a grin.
"Oh it's just cuz I assumed you couldn't come, and how did you get my address?" I say.
"Oh I could have swore I texted you I was coming, well knowing me if I forgot to send it, and I got it from Helen," he says handing me the flowers.
"Oh well it's ok, and you didn't have to get me flowers," I say grabbing them blushing, " What is with people bringing me stuff?"
"Well I thought since my babygirl is sick I would get her some flowers as a present, and what do you mean by people getting you stuff?" Mikey asks.
"Hey Bella we should get going now," Ricco says coming down the stairs.
Oh no, I think to myself. Mikey and Ricco stare at each other for a few seconds and then look back at me.
