Scary in love

CH 4

Kimberly's P.O.V.

Waking up to Cassie crying, I sit up and grab the trash can in case she needed to puke again. She sat up and hurled into the princess container and continued to cry. I rubbed her back until she finally leaned back into me and fell asleep. We continued with this cycle until four in the morning, when Jackson came in and noticed the very full trash bag. "How's she doing?" he whispers to me going and sitting on the other side of her. "She's been puking pretty much the entire night. At this point she's just puking up stomach acid. But at least she's been able to get some sleep here and there." He looks down at her and then says "You must be exhausted. I can stay now if you need to go get some sleep." I want to take him up on the offer but I also don't want to leave her alone if he cant handle her puking. "I can stay if you cant handle the puking. Ill be fine." He looks up at me with a sincere look in his eyes, but doesn't say anything. He kisses Cassie's head and pushes her hair back. "Her mother died in a car accident shortly after Cass turned two. Damon has been the biggest help but I know she wants a mother. I can never seem to get over her mother. There's no one else out there for me, but maybe you can help with everything I cant." He says quietly. My heart breaks for him a little. "Okay." I say looking don't at her. She has light blonde hair and deep brown eyes. "She looks just like her mother. If it wasn't for Cass or Damon, I wouldn't be here today." I never expected him to open up to me, but it's nice knowing something about someone in this house. "You don't have to become her mother or anything, I just think she needs a female figure to look up to with a bunch men around her." I nod and say "I don't mind she's adorable." He smiles up at me and stands from the bed. "Well I need to take care of some business for Damon. If you need anything please ask Charlotte downstairs to get ahold of me." I nod and slowly and carefully lay back down. Cassie wraps her arm around my chest and I relax myself. I need to at least sleep another hour if I'm gonna get through the day. Closing my eyes, sleep slowly finds me.

Waking up to Cassie crying again, I decide to see if Charlotte knew if we had any pepto or something to help her with her stomach pain. I used to intercom and Charlotte said she would be up as soon as she found it. A few minutes later, Charlotte brought up pepto and some children's ibuprofen. After Cassie puked for a minute, I asked Charlotte to call Jackson to make sure it would be okay if I gave her a bath. Maybe the warmness of the bath will help her stomach. Jackson answered right away and said it was fine. Picking her up from the bed, she wrapped her legs and arms around me. Taking her to her little bathroom, I started the bath and sat her down, sitting down on the toilet in front of her to help her out of her tangled pjs. Once the bath tub was filled, I helped her into the tub and let her sit in the warmth of the water. I helped her wash her hair and gave her the loofa with soap in it to wash her body. When she was done, and she hadn't puked for a little bit, I gave her the ibuprofen and pepto. I got her dressed into a new pair of pjs and brushed her hair. We put on lilo and stitch and cuddled back into her bed. I looked at the clock on her nightstand. 630 am. I wanted to try and get more sleep, but I couldn't stop thinking about how so much has happened in the last few days, last night when I think Damon tried to kiss me and what is gonna happen today? What am I gonna look like after the make over? Cassie fell asleep again and I tried, but my mind wouldn't shut off. I finished lilo and stitch and clicked to watch the second one, when the intercom beeped. I carefully slipped out from Cassie and walked over to the voice box. Pushing the button, I hear Damon say "My guy is coming at eleven to begin your make over and then at three, a college coordinator will be coming to give you everything for school." "Okay. Is Jackson back?" I say quietly. "Not yet, but he will by the time you need to go. How is she doing?" "She's been up all night puking, but I gave her a bath and some medicine and she hasn't puked since so I'm hoping this was it." He doesn't say anything so I let the button go and walk back over to Cassie and climb back into the bed with her. She instantly wraps her arms around me and I wrap mine around her. I soon fall asleep.
