Legacy

Chapter 29

After 60 hits from their mother, Addy passed out from the pain. Stacie carried her up to her room and returned downstairs as she was instructed to do. Beca and Stacie had to remain downstairs for 3 hours before their mother finally left them and then were able to see and help Addy who was still passed out. Both girls help clean her back but had seen it was starting to become infected. They cleaned as much as they could before deciding it was best to just leave it til morning. Beca went into her own room but Stacie couldn't leave Addy. She was angry, frustrated, annoyed, upset and felt guilty. She felt as if it was her fault. She wanted deep down to tell someone but she knew she couldn't. Who would believe her anyway?

She also knew that Addy would never ask for help again. So know she knew that she would have to help Addy.

------------------------

In the morning, Addy was waken by the feeling of vomit crawling up her throat. She jumped up and went running to the bathroom. Vomiting violently, Addy lent of the toilet with sweat and tears running down her face. Sleepily, Stacie followed Addy to the bathroom. She hadn't realized she had fallen asleep until she was suddenly woken by Addy getting up. She wiped the sleep out of her eyes and sat down behind Addy on the edge of the bath and pulled Addy's hair back and was stroking her hair as she couldn't touch her back.

"Ssh. It's okay just breath. You're okay." Stacie said trying to calm Addy down as Addy leant forward to vomit again, and crying harder from the pain.

Emily sleepily walked into Addy's room then to the bathroom.
"Is she okay?" Emily asked.
"Does she look fucking okay!" Stacie snapped. From the lack of sleep and the events of last night she was very short tempered.
"Sorry" Emily mumbled unaware of the extent of what went on last night.
"Sorry I didn't mean to snap. Just go get dressed and I will take you to school." Stacie said trying to calm herself down as Addy kept throwing up.
"Just me?" Emily questioned.
"Well Addy can't go and I have got to stay her with her and I doubt Beca is gonna want to go. So, yes Emily just you." Stacie snapped unintentionally again and to Emily and she left to go get ready.
"You shouldn't be so rude to Emily." Addy croaked out.
"I know. I am just tired. I will be back soon I am just going to put some clothes on, take Em and then I will be back, okay?" Stacie said getting up when Addy grabbed her hand.
"Please don't go. I don't want to be on my own." Addy choked out. And Stacie face dropped and she felt so much pain for her little sister. She knelt down next to Addy.
"I promise I will be right back. I get Beca to sit with you while I am gone, okay?" Stacie said and got a weak nod from Addy in return.

Stacie left the room and barged in to Beca's room, to find her sat at her laptop doing her mixes.
"Go sit with Addy, she is in her bathroom, vomiting." Stacie said bluntly and then turning around to leave.
"And what are you going to?" Beca asked not turning around.
"Take Emily to school unless you want to go to school as well then. You can drive yourself." Stacie said snapping again. Beca turned around.
"What am I meant to do with Addy though?" Beca questioned honestly, she had never been the one to deal with someone when they were sick that was always Stacie even when Stacie was ill Stacie would deal with it herself. Beca wasn't the responsible sister she was the cool one. The one that took them out for ice cream when Stacie said they shouldn't.

"I think you could come up with something." Stacie replied annoyed.
"Stacie, I am serious?"
"Comfort her, talk to her, hold her hair back! Beca she needs someone there!" Stacie said leaving as Beca got up and made her way to Addy.
