I woke up with nothing but a headache and stomach pains.
Adnan's chin was resting on my head as he slept making me keep still so that I don't wake him up.

About two minutes later I felt Adnan lift his chin; he turned over. I bobbed my head up slightly to check the time on the alarm clock; 10:45am. Not bad, considering Adnan and I fell asleep around two. I fell asleep as soon as we got to bed but his phone rang about fifteen minutes later, causing me to wake up and then we talked until two before he fell asleep.

There was a slight creak from the bedroom door, turning my attention to the left side of the room. Ahmed was creeping in through the doorway and closed the door slowly behind him ensuring that he made no noise at all.

"Hannah!" he breathed after he noticed me looking at him.
I let out a quiet giggle "Sorry."
"It's all good, it's good that you're awake, I've got some news," I stayed quiet, letting him continue, "Mum and dad are coming tomorrow," His voice seemed annoyed and agitated, my mouth just hung open.
"But why?"
"Remember Saeed said that they were coming down soon, hence why he isn't here."

Great. Saeed's left us.

My parents aren't the nicest; they have set out certain career paths for all three of us and basically planned our entire lives out for us from the minute we were born. How we were going to dress, look, what subjects we would study at GCSE and A-levels and what course we would study at university as well as who we would marry at a certain age. Their plan for Saeed was clearly for now otherwise he would be here. I love my parents, don't get me wrong but they haven't exactly showered me with love and affection, Saeed practically raised me but I still love my parents regardless.
I suddenly jumped out of bed and ran straight into my bathroom.
"Hannah we need to get you to a doctor," Ahmed said walking in after me.

My hair was lifted from my shoulders and there was a hand rubbing my back. I turned around to see a sleepy Adnan crouched down beside me holding my hair back in one hand and rubbing circles on my back with the other. Once I finished throwing up I placed my bum onto the cold floor, I have no energy left in me whatsoever. Adnan wrapped his right arm around my shoulders, he was still half asleep.

"Sorry."
"Hannah why on earth are you saying sorry for throwing up?" Adnan said, receiving a shrug from me. He kissed my forehead "Let's get something in your tummy."
I instantly looked at Ahmed and let out a low laugh.
"What?" Adnan asked, completely awake now.
"It's a joke we used when we were little, I'll explain it to you at a more relevant time," Ahmed chuckled. Adnan just looked at us like we were crazy.

The boys left the bathroom as I brushed my teeth.

I soon found myself in the kitchen; Adnan handing Ahmed 3 plates and Ahmed putting 3 pieces of toast, scrambled eggs and beans in each plate.

I did not feel like breakfast right now.

"Sit," Ahmed pointed.
"I'm not hungry," I groaned as I started to move backwards slowly before turning around and escaping. Unfortunately, Adnan's strong arms wrapped around the back of my waist and made their way to the front as he lifted me up and walked over to the dining table.
"Please eat," Adnan pouted.
I stared at him "I can't." His pout was the cutest thing ever!
"Pleasssseee," he dragged, continuing with the pout.
"Please stop pouting Adi, it's too cute!" I whined.
He continued pouting.
"FINE!" I pulled the plate towards me and picked up a piece of toast, I put it to my mouth but couldn't bring myself to take a bite so I put it back in the plate and attempted to eat some of the eggs which was quite successful seeing as I managed to swallow it, however, the beans could not go down, I felt sick by the smell of all the food that was currently around me and that's all it took for me to sprint back up the stairs and straight into the bathroom again.
