'' You know, I really appreciate your company but I still think that I don't need a babysitter. '' Elle huffed as she helped Angelina clean the kitchen once they were done with their lunch.
'' Well Dakota just doesn't trust you to be on your own yet, so I proposed to babys- I mean keep you company. '' Angelina said, correcting herself before she could finish that sentence. '' She said you were feeling dizzy lately. ''
Elle rolled her eyes at the brunette. '' She is just overdramatic, it happened only once. Why make a big deal? ''
'' She is worried and she has every right to be. ''
Elle groaned.
A few days passed since she moved in and if Dakota was already concerned about her sister's health, now she was freaking out for the slightest little cough or sneeze because Elle just happened to faint yesterday at school. Now Dakota was always watching her closely and when she was not there, she made sure that the girl was not alone. Like now...
And I thought that being watched and followed by journalists was worse... Man Dakota is way worse. Elle thought.
'' It was the weather. '' Elle shrugged, coming up with a lame excuse and crossed her arms '' It was too hot. ''
Angelina deadpanned. '' You were in the conference room, the air conditioning was on. ''
'' I- I... well it seemed hot enough for me to faint. '' she said, walking out of the kitchen with Angelina following.
'' Whatever you say, if you're not feeling well, you can just tell me. ''
'' I'm fine. '' Elle sighed, heading towards the stairs '' I'm going to watch a movie upstairs, do you need to check on me too? '' she asked sarcastically.
'' Go ahead but the door stays open. ''
'' What? Why? ''
'' Just keep it open. ''
'' Uggh! '' Elle moaned, walking upstairs, making sure to step loudly on each step of the stairs to make Angelina know that she was not happy about it.
'' I'm not deaf kid. '' Angelina chuckled, walking back into the kitchen. The chart Dakota had left on the island suddenly caught her attention as she remembered that she forgot Elle's medicine.
Cursing at herself, she quickly prepared a tray with a glass of water and the medication before heading upstairs to Elle's bedroom. She smiled as she saw the door open and walked in. She was about to call the girl when she saw the bed empty but she heard an alarming sound coming from the bathroom. Leaving the tray on the nightstand, she dashed towards the connected bathroom to find Elle kneeling above the toilet with two fingers down her throat as she emptied her stomach.
'' What the hell are you doing? '' she yelled, kneeling beside her.
Elle was just finishing throwing up when she heard Angelina's voice. She jumped at the brutal interruption and weakly fell backwards on her butt.
'' Angie. '' She whispered in both shock and fear. '' It- it's not what y- you think it is. '' she stammered clumsily.
'' No? Then tell me what you were doing with two fingers shoved down your throat? ''
'' I was- I was only- ''
'' Only what? '' Angelina asked, helping Elle over the sink.
'' I'm fine. '' The girl pulled away from her and flushed the toilet. Angelina watched as she splashed some water on her face, then stumbled back into her room and nearly fell forwards as she lost her balance.
