Finding my mum

32- what's wrong with Chloe

I'd been back with Ashley and Chloe for a few days now. I spoke to Janette every day and she'd listen to me when I got anything of my chest. My 17th was coming up soon and I wanted to know if Chloe and Ashley had started planning anything.

I went downstairs to find Chloe.

Me: "morning"
Chloe: "morning princess"
Me: "you ok?"
Chloe: "didn't sleep well. You?"
Me: "what you thinking?"
Chloe: "it's alright. You look like you were going to ask me something"
Me: "of course it matters. Where's Ashley? if you'd started thinking about my birthday."
Chloe: "can we talk about it later? In bed still. We might have"
Me: "here if you wanna talk. What have you got planned?"
Chloe: "thanks princess. If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise would it?"
Me: "true. Have you eaten?"
Chloe: "not really hungry"

I went over to Chloe to give her a hug which caused her to start crying. I was just about to ask her what's wrong when she ran off looking like she was about to be sick.

Ashley came downstairs.

Ashley: "is Chloe ok?"
Me: "think so. I'll go and see"

I couldn't get out of the kitchen quick enough. I ran up the stairs and knocked on the bathroom door.

Me: "Chloe it's me, let me in"

Chloe opened the door to let me in.

Me: "you ok? You don't look well"
Chloe: "I'll be alright"
Me: "stay here and I'll go get you some water"
Chloe: "thank you"

I quickly ran downstairs to get Chloe some water then helped her from the bathroom to her bedroom.

Me: "don't move unless you're going to be sick again, try and get some sleep and I'll be up in a bit to check on you"
Chloe: "yes nurse Ava."

I went downstairs to leave Chloe to get some rest and tell Ashley that Chloe's gone back to bed as she's not well. He said he had to go out and if I needed anything then let him know. I got myself some cereal and juice. Just as I was about to start I could hear footsteps running across the landing and knew that Chloe was going to be sick again. I put my breakfast on the table and ran upstairs to check on her.

I knelt next to Chloe rubbing her back and holding her hair back when she threw up. I hated seeing her like this.

Hopefully she'll be ok for my birthday as it won't be the same without her.
