Falling Asleep On Cole's Bed - 3

(Dalton's POV)

I've been pacing for 5 hours by now, It can't take that long to Just check something.

When I was about to pasout from worry Cole walked threw the door looking just as worried as I was but ten times as upset.

"What happened Cole?" I walk over to my best friend pushing asied all my own worry.

"Cleo's had to go in for emergancy surgey, she'll be let out in the morning but she told me she just wants to be left alone to help her recovery." Cole explained.

"I understand, how long is her recovery?" I worry.

"Six weeks." Cole informed. "I'm gonna go to bed I'm tired." Cole yawned and went upstairs.

I followed him up stairs and went to my own room, I lied on my bed wonderring if Cleo was okay.

I've had a massive crush on her since we were kids and now I have an even bigger crush on her, she's grown into a beautiful young lady.

Soon enough though I found myself falling asleep on my bed, I must have tired myself out with stressing about Cleo.

In the morning Cole went to go pic up Cleo. He had told us at breakfast that Faith and I would be aloud to see Cleo for a couple minutes before she goes to rest to help her recovery.

"Welcome home Cleo." Faith hugged Cleo lightly, we had been informed that it was an operation on her stomach but not much more.

She nods her head in thanks before going to the bottom of the stairs.

"Cleo don't take this the wrong way but you look like shit." Faith was blunt as always but her harte's in the right place.

She smiled quickly before going up to her room, 2 minutes, not bad.

"Is she okay?" I ask Cole with concern for his sister.

"I'm not sure." He sighed with tears in his eyes before he followed her upstairs.

Next thing I know there were screams coming from her room, not fearful, painful.

It got to the point where I couldn't bear being in the house anymore so I took a walk.

The fresh air cleared my head a bit but I couldn't get Cleo's screams out of my head.

(Cleo's POV)

The cramps were getting worse every minute, I looked down at the sheets and they were covered in blood.

"I'll get you clean sheets you wait here." Cole smiled at me sypatheticly and left with the bloody sheets.

Next thing I know Faith barges in threw the door.

"Oh my god, Cleo? Are you okay?" Faith worried.

I reach out to my Bedsied table and grab my phone texting her.

Me - I'll be fine. I offer her a crooked half smile. Me - I've had an emergancy abortion. A tear slides from my Eye. Me - No one can love anyone as much as I loved that child but it wasn't healthy for either of us in my condition, it was under fead and draing my energy whilst I was anarexic. I sigh.

She kneels on the bed and gives me a quick hug before grabbing a towel and a bowl of cold water to rub on my forehead as I burn up.

"Thanks." I say weakly.

"You don't have to say thank you, you're family Cleo." Faith smiled at me.

"I'm back Cle... oh." Cole's face dropped when he saw Faith nursing me.

"Cole It's fine Faith's a good friend." I smile.

"Did the doctors weigh you before you left?" Cole sighed.

"Yeah." I lower my head.

"What do you weigh Cleo?" Cole asked me bluntly as he did the bed.

"100 lbs." I lower my head again if that's even possible.

"Cleo that's dangerous." Cole crossed his arms at me.

"I know, I just don't want to be fat." I cry.

"Cole go down stairs and get us some movies, my garlic kale chips and frozen grapes." Faith orders my brother around.

I would never had thought Faith of all pepol was a health freak. With her happy go lucky demeanor I thought she could eat anything and get away with it.

After a few silent moments Cole re apeared with 3 movies.

"thanks babe, also sorry but you'll be sleeping on the down stairs couch tonight... girls night?" Faith widend her eyes as if it was the most obvious thing in the world after Cole didn't catch on.

"Oh... I guess I'm not wanted." Cole rolled his eyes playfuly at Faith and winked at me before leaving.

"Anyway so She's All That 1999, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days 2003 or The Duff, 2015." Her eyes light up as if remembering something throwing all the DVDs on the bed by my sied.

"Ohh ohh!" Faith screamed as she ran into the bathroom and got a step out.

She set it down in Cole's closet and got on top of it looking for something on his top shelf.

"Cole put my From Prada To Nada DVD here after one of our movie nights hoping I couldn't get to it, your brother realy underestamates me." She walked out holding a DVD case and smirking.

"I'll have to have a word with him later." I smile weakly still not fully trusting her but likeing her enough to let her cheer me up.

"You do that but right now let's just enjoy girls night. Frozen grape?" She offers.

I take one as she walks around to her scaterd DVDs and started laying them out for us to see.

"Wich do you fancy watching first?" Faith asked.

First?! First?! I'm not going to get any sleep tonight am I.

"From Prada To Nada?" I didn't want her struggle to be in vain.

"Yes! Thank you." She screamed and huged me.

I was still a bit wary of Faith but I didn't think she was going to hurt me.

She walked over to Cole's TV and but on the DVD.

After a while we were both laughing and eating grapes and kale chips before we ended up falling asleep on Cole's bed.
