Broken

Chapter 41:I'm fine

I curl up under my comforter as my alarm goes off, making me cover my head before shutting it off.

"Honey, are you feeling any better?" I groan as I curl up in a tighter ball.

"I'm fine dad." I say, muffled under my pillows and blankets as I hear my dad sigh.

"I'll call and tell the school you'll be out another day but tomorrow you're going back." I groan as I hear my dad's footsteps walking towards me, "I have to go to work, I'll see you later sweetie." He moves my comforter and kisses my head before walking out of my room and outside. I hear his door open and close before he starts his car and pulls out of the driveway before driving off as I sigh and throw the covers off of me.

I groan before pushing my hair out of my face before getting out of bed and changing into black nike leggings and my black hoodie that says 'I wanna be a nice person but everyone is just stupid'. I walk into the kitchen and get a glass of water and a fruit salad before heading to my room and turning on my tv and watching Scooby doo while eating my breakfast and practically guzzling my whole thing of water because I'm so dehydrated from throwing up every other hour. I sigh before going into the kitchen to put my bowl in the sink before getting more water before heading back into my room and covering my legs with my covers.

I bring my hair forward to where it's on my shoulders and pull my hoodie over my head and check my phone to see many missed calls from Hayley and Henry and Yogi and many text messages from them individually and in the group chat. I snap Hayley back and text her back and Henry before ignoring Yogi as my door is thrown open to reveal Hayley with her camera out, recording me. I frown as I cover my face and shake my head before looking at her.

"Why are you recording me? I look and feel terrible." I complain as my voice sounds hoarse and crappy making me grimace as Hayley smiles.

"I'm skipping school for you." She stops recording and saves it before showing me as I cringe.

"Do I really look that terrible? My eyes are all puffy and red and my cheeks are the only color in my face and my lips are red too! Oh I look terrible." I groan as I fall back on my back as Hayley criss crosses her legs and faces me.

"Babes you look gorgeous as usual. Even when you're crying or sick you're stunning. Come on get out of bed and get dressed, I'm taking you out." I groan as I shake my head.

"No, I'm tired and exhausted and feel like complete crap." I say as Hayley rolls her eyes before taking her camera back out and recording me as she takes my hood off.

"And she's alive!" Hayley giggles before saving it and most likely posting it on her story as I frown at her.

"I don't feel alive at the moment. I need rest Hayley, dad's making me go back to school tomorrow." I look at her as she smiles.

"Good, you've been gone for a week almost. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what happened and the complaints! Ugh! Just come back to school with me tomorrow, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning that way it won't be awkward or anything. But as for today, we're going out to get food and go shopping." She says as she stands up and walks into my closet, throwing an outfit at me as I glare at her.

"No, I'm staying home." I say as lay back down before Hayley sighs.

"Babes, I know you don't just feel like crap. You're hurt and are too scared to run into him and I know you don't want to see him or hear about him or even think about him. But I can tell you have been because you haven't taken the necklace off and if you hadn't thought about him you wouldn't have been crying. Get up now, we're going shopping." I shake my head as she throws the covers off of me and drags me out of my bed.

"I don't want to go anywhere, why can't we just stay here today so people won't know you're skipping and won't see me?" I say as I look up at her as she rolls her eyes.

"Fine, we'll stay here but I'm getting you McDonald's right now and we're going to pig out and we won't care. I'll be back." She says before putting the outfit she threw at me away before parting my thigh and leaving. I sigh as I watch my Scooby doo and look down at my hands to see the locket in between my fingers and shake my head before placing it inside my hoodie and covering my hands with the sleeves of my hoodie.

"I'm back!" Hayley sings as she walks through my doors as I look at her, tears streaming down my face and realizing she's recording me again before she puts her phone away and sits next to me before hugging me tightly, "I know honey...it hurts." I snuggle as I wipe the tears away, a hiccup escaping my mouth as I wipe the tears away and look at her.

"Tomorrow is Tuesday, we're gonna dress you up all cute and you're gonna hold your head up high when you walk in with me. You're going to get through the day and when we get back here, we're going to go out and shop! The next day is gonna be even better because we have practice." A smile spreads across my face at the thought of practice as I wipe my eyes.

"Now there's something to look forward to." I smile as Hayley cheers before hugging me again.

"Okay now time for food. I didn't know what you wanted so I got you several things, but I knew you'd want their ice cream so I got you an Oreo McFlurry and French fries to dip them in the ice cream." I smile as she hands them to me.

"Thanks babes." I smile as she nods before setting out all the food she got and smiles sheepishly before sitting next to me and began eating with me while we watched Scooby doo. I have the best friend ever.
