Falling Hurts. A Kian Lawley fanfic

Chapter 50 - the truth

when Andrea steps out of the room she notices my crutches

"omg did you hurt your ankle more?" she whisper-yells

"no, no i didn't. but i can't find my pills anywhere and they're not in the usual spot in my bathroom. i don't know if i misplaced them last night, or if Kian found them, or if a rando stole them. but all i know is if i don't find them before Kian wakes up then he's finding out. and this is not the way i wanted to tell him." i say, starting to freak out.

"okay okay um, first of all let me take medicine because my head is pounding." she says as she walks to the kitchen. i try to quietly hop behind her and i sit down in front of the island.

she takes out the pain meds and offers me some

"they might not be prescribed pain meds but maybe they'll take a little bit of the pressure off your ankle" she says.

i take three ibuprofen, hoping that this morning can start to go better.

"the house looks like a tornado hit it." i say looking around at the living room.

"you're telling me, it's crazy. i do not remember it being this messy." she says

"i barely remember anything after the whole Carter thing." i say. "i'm sorry, i shouldn't have brought it up." I add, once I see her facial expression change.

"no you're fine, i understand. let's just focus on your ankle for now" she says.

we start looking everywhere for the pills. and there's no luck.

after searching for almost an hour, we give up.

"they're gone Andrea. it was a party, what did i expect. everyone was downstairs, of course someone looked for a bathroom. and while they were in there they found them and took them" i say

"what do we do?" she asks

i don't know the answer to this either. i know Kian, and i know how pissed he is going to be. although, he did handle the whole Cameron thing well. so, maybe he truly is changing.

"i don't know. i guess this is a sign that i just can't hide it anymore." i say swirling around the water in my cup

"hide what?" i hear come from Kian's voice behind me

Andrea's eyes go wide. and i turn around to face him.

"maybe i should go.." Andrea begins

"Andy" i say in desperation.

"hide what, Kodie?" he repeats as he walks in front of me. "why do you have your crutches out? is your ankle hurt again?" he asks

"Kian," i start "my ankle, well it" i say, not sure of how to put this

Andrea then walks to her and Jc's room. i don't say anything though, even i don't want to be apart of this conversation.

he raises his eyebrows in a 'continue' type way, begging for my answer.

"my ankle never stopped hurting. it got worse. i never went to my check up because i knew that i would get bad news. and i really wanted this daycare job Kian, i know it's selfish of me but i knew that they wouldn't let me have it if they thought i'd be on crutches" i say

i hear a door open and turn to see Andrea and Jc coming into the living room.

i look to Kian who is know rubbing the back of his neck and shaking his head

"you lied to me? for like what, a month? what the hell Kodie. no matter what, if i lied about something for this long, do you know how pissed you'd be?"
