This Love 2

chapter 31

Alex's P.O.V

My pills finally came in at the pharmacy and now I no longer have to run to the toilet in the middle of the night and sometimes in the middle of the day. I've been eating more..well trying. I'm gaining the right amount of weight back and now I feel like a new person..no more vomiting, I'm eating healthy, and I'm getting happier each day whether it's due to my friends or my boyfriend. I love all three of them.

Niall continues waking up in the middle of the night, as he always does to check on me only because it became a habit for him while I didn't have my meds. So, he had to make sure I was okay or else something bad could happen to me.

It happened to my dad's sister. He would always have to be in the same room with her if she was asleep whenever she was a baby sometimes. It's an unfortunate thing to have some of my dad's side of the family's genes.  Almost every single one of them has sensitive stomachs and it sucks.

One small, careless mistake and it could be fatel. Say for instance, if I were to be asleep without taking my pill that night and no one was there while I was asleep on my back, I could possibly raise bile in my stomach and suffocate from choking on it. It's a fatal outcome as gross as it sounds, that's how it is and that's how it's always going to be. It can happen to anyone, but it just puts me at a higher risk because I have no "feeling" before hand that I'm going to do it like people with regular stomachs do. Mine just does it whenever it feels like it and everyday I just pray it isn't on anyone, anywhere special, or anywhere at all except for the toilet.

"No, you've gotta eat more than that, Cleo." Niall sits at the dinner table with me like I'm a little kid.

The doctor told me I'm on a great track of getting back to my normal weight, I've just gotta eat more vegetables or else it could lead to something gross. And no, I'm not going to vomit..it comes out of the other end..constantly. I have to balance out my meals rather than eating chicken tenders and jello cups all day long.

"You know I hate green beans." I push the plate away.

"That's the only veggies we've got right now. I'm sorry, babe, but you're going to have to eat it." He lays his head down in his palm, waiting for me to eat.

"I don't want them."

"Oh, my baby is being a baby." He grabs a green bean off of my plate and eats it, speaking to me as if I were a toddler.

"They taste fine!" He shrugs and nudges the plate back in front of me.

"Great! Then, how about you eat these and I'll eat the rest of my jello."

After ten minutes, Niall got tired of me being "stubborn", which I am not, but he just gave up on trying to get me to eat those nasty string beans. Piper and Harry were bickering for a few seconds, but I tiptoed upstairs whenever I heard them getting louder.

Maybe they were having sex?

"No! Don't you blame that on me! I told you to do it!" I hear Piper shout.

"You should've closed the door behind you!" Harry yells back. I wonder if I should keep going up the stairs or walk back down before the door opens. On my way down I hear Niall's voice in their conversation, making me turn around curiously.

"I know you didn't mean to, but it doesn't change the facts that she's gone. I don't want to be the one to tell Cleo that beca-"
