The Secret of The Johanssons

Chapter 21 : Swallow Me in Darkness

I woke up to the light that entered my bed room window , even though it was as bright as what a heaven door might be , that wasn't the thing that woke me up . I scrambled towards the bathroom and puked all of my guts out . After looking at that picture , puking was everything on my agenda . I don't know what i was puking since eating was not on my agenda but it would still go out . It was bad when my throat started to hurt but i doubt i could touch any food right now .

I called Devon right after i got out of the bathroom , he answered on the second ring .

" hey " he said with a concerned voice

" hey " i said with a hoarse voice

" are you okay? " he asked panicked " of course not , I'll be right there "

I smiled hearing the worry in his voice and he just knows what to say when i want it . I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge , looking at food made me wanted to barf more but i held it in . I grabbed a frozen pizza and microwaved it when the doorbell rang , i opened it to reveal Devon .

" did you ran here? I swear you're sweating more than when you're in that fire " i said making a lame joke , he gave me a smile and chuckled but stopped .

" are you okay ? " he asked with full concern . Before i could answer he grabbed me by my wrist and hugged me .

His hand rested on top of my waist and we just stayed there for a minute . He smelled funny , i looked up at him and he had sweats dripping from his forehead where his black hair stuck on it . He looked at me , looking right into my eyes where concern was filled . I tiptoed and met his lips with mine , he was caught off guard and almost stumbled backward but regain his composure . He kissed me back and i felt better already , but that lasted only a minute when i can feel the vomit surging up from my stomach .

Puking everything out was getting harder and harder when i had nothing left in my stomach , it was better when i felt a light tug on my hair and it was lifted off of my back . After wiping my mouth with a tissue and brushing my teeth , i looked back at Devon and smiled . He didn't return it .

" whats wrong? " i asked

" you're so pale , Scar look at you . You're so thin and you look like you're about to di- " he stopped himself but i giggled

" wow thanks for the boost of confidence " i said and he laughed

We walked over the couch and he sat a plastic bag on the couch .

" whats thats? " i asked

" i bought you ice cream , you know ' eat your heart out ' or something like that "

" oh my god " i said covering my face and laughed " anyway thanks but I don't feel like eating right now "

He grabbed the ice cream and shoved it towards me

" yeah no you're eating this , i don't care how fat you get but it's better than you being this thin " he said and sat beside me " but i have to tell you something first before you puke or pass out "

" tell me fast i think either of them are coming "

" well i gave the pictures to the police yesterday " i can feel the knives diving through my bones " and the police have re - opened the case and your aunt is the prime suspect " i can feel the vomit coming out " they're trying to contact her , going to her work but she's been missing and also your dad "

I couldn't handle it and i stood up

But i was welcomed with

Darkness

And i fell .
