10-white stuff

Isabelle's POV!!

By the time dinner was over, I still hadn't gotten a single word out of Nora. Trying to cheer somebody up was usually easy for me. Plus, Nora was never quiet like this. She was always outgoing, fun, talkative.

Right now however, she was the complete opposite. She didn't even look like herself. Of course she still looked gorgeous in my eyes but She looked like she had just sat in her apartment all night munching on ice cream and recovering from a breakup.

And Nora wasn't even in a relationship to have gotten her heart broken or to even have been through a breakup. Her eyes were red inside and out. The dark circles under her eyes were clearer than ever and she didn't have a smile on her face.

Not even a small smile. She just looked dead inside and out. To be completely honest it was starting to freak me out a little.

I'd attempted to ask Zoe but she had no idea what was going on with her either. We had all been trying to cheer her up over dinner but not even Christians dad jokes helped.

We were currently in the living room watching a movie and chilling. I was playing with Nora's hair as she laid on my legs. Even if there wasn't anything I could do, I'd still try to comfort her.

If something had happened whilst we were all away from her, I'd find out sooner or later. And if she didn't want to tell me right now, I'd respect that with no hesitation.

"Why would she get up? Stay in the fucking bed!" Jesse shouted at the tv as the horror movie we were watching was actually starting to get good.

For the first time all night, I felt Nora's chest shake meaning she was laughing.

Fina-fricking-lly

"It's a movie Jesse what did you expect? That she'd stay in bed and sleep over all the banging going on downstairs?" Clinton replied.

He was right. I think I'd be more scared watching it if she stayed in bed.

Their commentary was making Nora chuckle and so I hoped they'd never stop. I also saw Christians face light up just as much as mine had when he saw her laughing.

The fact that he cared for Nora made my heart warm. Even warmer than he had already made it.

Just as I was stuck staring at the blonde boy across from me, Nora turned to face me and it made my heart break. She was forcing a smile and i still didn't know why.

She knew exactly how we felt about her being like this and now she was forcing happiness just for us.

I smiled back down at her but all of a sudden she was coughing.

Choking uncontrollably.

And what did I do?

I just sat there in complete shock.

Completely confused as to what was happening.

Why the fuck was white stuff flowing from her mouth?

Everything went silent as I watched everybody run over to her. Before she could fall off of the sofa, Clinton caught her and carried her to somewhere that I figured was the bathroom.

All whilst I sat there.

Doing absolutely nothing.

Christians hand waved in front of my face multiple times but I could move. I couldn't talk. I couldn't even breathe.

"Isabelle!" Was all I heard before everything went black...
