"What's wrong?..."

---

"Sarah just threw up."He says.
"The whole couch...."
I rest my head in my hands and sigh.
"Demi, it's okay. I'll clean it. You need to get some sleep. We'll take care of Sarah.
"But..." I protest.
She gives me a warning look.
I give her a little smile and nod my head.
"Good." She stands up and walks around Michael back to the living room.

Michael walks to me and sits down next to me. He hugs me from the side and I rest my head on his shoulder.
"We'll figure something out, okay? Just try to get some sleep. Luke will be here in no time, I promise." He whispers in my ear before planting a kiss on my forehead. Then he stands up and walks away.

So I dress in my pajamas and walk to the bed. I lay down but I couldn't sleep. I didn't even try.
I need to be strong. For Sarah, and for myself. I don't now for how long I've been awake, but eventually, I drift off to sleep.


~The next morning~

I wake up around 1pm. I shower and dress myself in some clean clothes. I put my hair in a messy high ponytail and walk downstairs.
When I see Mel and Michael in the kitchen, I smile. I walk in and when Mel sees me, she hugs me.
"Are you okay?" She asks.
"Yeah, a lot better than yesterday." I smile.
"Good, are you're going to Luke today?"
I nod my head.
"Do you want us to babysit again?"
"I don't know. At one side, I know that Luke would love to see her, but at the other side, I don't want her to see Luke like that."
"Maybe you should ask him."
"I'll do that. But then I can't take her with me now. Could you...?"
"Yeah of course, you go girl." Mel smiles.
I smile at her thankfully and walk out of the door.


I walk into Luke's room. I look at him and see that he's asleep. I carefully place the drawing that Sarah made for him on the night stander. I almost start crying again, but I hold it in.
"Princess." I hear him whisper.
"Hey." I smile at him.
"Mrs. Hemmings, you're back." I hear behind me.
I turn around and see the doctor stand in the door.
"Oh, but I'm not..." I begin but Luke cuts me off.
"Not yet." He smirks.
"Anyway, I just came here to show that you're leg is healing faster than we expected, so that's a good thing. You can't leave yet, but if it keeps going on like this, then you could be released in a couple weeks." She smiles.
My heart makes a little jump by hearing that he's gonna be fine.
He takes my hand into his and holds it. I smile at him and he pouts. I lean in and give him exactly what he wants; a kiss.
When I pull back, he smiles, but doesn't say anything.

When the doctor leaves, I turn to Luke.

"I need to ask you something." I say.
"Shoot."
"Do you want Sarah to come here too?"
"What's that for an question? Of course I want to!"
"No, I mean with you laying like this and..." Tears appear in my eyes again
"Hey, it's okay. I'm gonna be fine. The doctor just said it herself." He tries to smile.
I sigh.
"And maybe you're right about Sarah. Maybe she could better just stay home, I don't want her to see me like this." He sighs while he plays with my fingers.
"You'll see her in no time, I promise." I smile at him.
"I know."


~A week later~

So.. Luke's doing good so far. He's only really fast irritated.

I hold Sarah while I walk to Mel's house. I go through the gate and knock on the door. Mel opens with big bags and still in her pajama.
"Rough night?" I laugh while I hand her Sarah's stuff.
"Remind me that I'm never saying that Michaels too vanilla again."
I laugh while I walk in. I walk to the living room and put Sarah in the bed that stands there for her. She didn't got much sleep last night, neither did I.
When I turn around and see how Mel's walking, I almost collapse on the floor. Michael hears me laugh and walks in smirking.
He kisses Mel on her forehead and then walks to the kitchen. She gives him a dirty look.
"What? Wasn't that exactly what you wanted last night? Didn't you say I was too vanilla?" He lifts up his shoulders.
She sighs and turns to me.
"Did she eat?" She asks.
"Yup. She needs to sleep tho. She Didn't get a lot of sleep last night... But I think that you didn't get a lot of sleep tonight either, did you?" I smirk.
"Just go." She waves her hands while she sighs.
I laugh at her one more time before leaving.

Notes

Hey guys!!

I'm going on a vacation in a month, To Croatia. so I won't be able to upload a lot bc I'm only having a half hour wifi per day there, and it's probably too hot to think. It takes me like an hour to write 1 chapter, just bc I dunno what's gonna happen and I just make it up while I'm writing. I'll try of course, but I don't know for sure if it's gonna work. I'll be there for 3 weeks and I'm having in two weeks a test week again, so I dunno if I can upload then, we'll see.


Xxx
