Promise? ~ SA

Chapter 4

the next day, i had to go back to the hospital with my mother to pick up the pills they prescribed me. they said that it will help with the injuries i suffered from getting hit.

going to be honest, i didn't really like them, i thought they had a weird taste to them. but i had no choice but to eat them. i took the day off school, since by the time i would come back from the hospital, the school day would almost be over, there was really no point.

when i got home i walked up the stairs to my room. 

"Ella, take your pills when your up there." my mother shouted from the living room. "okay." i replied, and went to my room and shut the door.

"hello Ella!" i turned around and was greeted by Mr. Buttons. i smiled and said hello back. then went to sit down on my bed with my bag.

Mr. Buttons paused for a moment, he then lifted him nose up into the air, taking in a few sniffs, then turning back to me. "what ya got in your bag?" he said, returning to his happy usual tone. i was a bit confused, could he smell my pills? honestly, Mr. Buttons was a 7 foot, bunny plushie, why am i not surprised?

"my pills the doctor described me today." i replied shortly, it wasn't really any of his business, so i don't really know why he asked.  he then looked and me with his big button eyes, smiled, and said, "may i see?" i hesitated a bit, why did he want to see them? curiosity? i had no idea, but i didn't really care. so i rummaged through my bag, and pulled the small tub out. there was only 9 pills inside, and i didn't get my restock until next month, so i hope he wasn't planning on eating one.

i threw him the tub which he swiftly caught in his paws.

he then examined them very closely, then turning to read the label for what they're for. i didn't really read them, yet again, no point, the doctors told me what they're for, so why bother.

i saw his stitched face turn from a happy smile, to a slightly angry frown.

i looked up at him confused, he then turned to me, "don't eat these." he said. i couldn't really read his emotions that much from his face, seeming as he is a stuffed animal, but i could definitely tell in the tone of his voice that he wasn't playing.

"why? i need them for my injur-"

"DO NOT EAT THEM." he yelled, causing me to jump back a bit. i then slowly nodded my head, and took the small tub from him, locking it away in my desk draw. 

his angry frown quickly turned into a smile again.

"promise?" he said, slowly edging closer towards me.

".......promise..." i said quietly. he then jumped for joy and engulfed me in a big hug.

these promises between us were getting a little weird.
