The little one

22

Calebs POV

She was on the floor. Passed out. I did t know what had happened, she was sat down and she looked normal, maybe a bit paler then usual but not too pale to the point it was worrying. Everyone got up and went around her, I also joined them gathering around her.

The room was silent, no one said anything, Layla's mum quickly went over to the phone and called for an ambulance to come. What had happened to her, I got on my knees and felt her wrist, she had a pulse but it was getting slower, she went more pale, paper by the second.

It wasn't long until there were sirens and flashing lights outside. Whatever was wrong with her we were going to find out soon and all I could hope was that she will be okay and maybe it's just her nerves about the whole dinner tonight.

Her mum went into the ambulance with her, I got into my car ready to drive off to the hospital. I didn't say anything to anyone because the only thought inside my head was Layla. Micheal got in my car and Alfie joined him a couple of seconds after. I saw alex, Isaac, Laura and her dad go into another car, so I drove straight to the hospital.

Not a words was said to the hospital and I didn't know how to break the ice and I didn't want to because we were all thinking about the same thing and the same person. I got to the hospital and parked outside. We all got out of the car and rushed into the hospital.

We went to the desk and I needed to find the words to speak. "We're looking for Layla Adams, she was brought here in an ambulance."

The receptionist nodded. "Room 87, it's time your right and done the corridor a bit."

We nodded and I turned around to tell everyone else but they were already gone. I went up the corridor looking for the room and it wasn't that hard to find. In the room was Layla in the bed and her brothers standing around the side of the room and her parents sat down next to the bed.

When I stepped foot into the room I felt like I could cut the tension with the knife. Layla's eyes began to open and relief swept through my body but it didn't look like it went through anyone else's, they all knew something that I didn't and I don't think it was good.

Layla's POV

I opened my eyes and I saw all my family there in one room, I also saw Caleb standing there, I was in hospital, oh god, they could find out why I'm here in the first place.

I looked over at my mum and I couldn't read her face or he eyes. I usually could and that's what started worrying me, I didn't know how she was feeling so I didn't know what I was getting myself into and what was going to happen.

"I'm going to ask you a question Layla and I need you to answer honestly okay?" I looked over at my mum while she was speaking and I nodded, she knew and I was doomed.

"When was the last time you ate?"

"I ate some blueberries this morning for breakfast." I swallowed trying but I knew I had no hope because she knew.

"When was the last time you ate a meal and when did you last keep it down?"

She knew, and they all did because I couldn't shake the look off my face. I felt tears forming in my eyes, I felt awful that they had to find out and the looks that I was going to get when I opened my eyes.

I opened them and I started with my mum, her eyes had changed, she was furious but she was also worried and looked like she was about to cry. She didn't need to cry.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I just... I wanted to get thin quick that's all."

I made the matter worse because I saw a tear Role done her cheek which broke my heart because my actions led me to this. To see my mum like this was horrible and I couldn't bear to look at everyone else, i could barely look at my mum.
