It was Friday and Eden was sitting in PSE which was her last lesson for the week. She heard her phone buzz and read the message.
Hi, Dad has to go away on a work thing so you're staying the night with me :)
Eden replied. She liked spending time with Sam. This week at school hadn't been as bad as usual. She was finally starting to get accepted by some of the girls in the year. She was now friendly with a lovely group of girls. They weren't the most popular group but were reasonably popular and seemed like a really good group of girls. They were sat in PSE and Eden was sat with Hannah. They were doing sex education and were all finding it a bit awkward. They were doing about tampons and contraception. They were given pictures and diagrams which was quite awkward. They then got taught how to use a condom.
Eden couldn't stop thinking about the time she walked in on Sam and Tom. They then started talking about in their friend groups. Georgia started it by talking about how she found her mum's vibrator and then Eden told the story about how she walked in on her sister. They were having a good laugh and Eden finally felt like she was being accepted into the friend group.
It wasn't long until the bell rang and Eden walked out with some of her friends she noticed Sam's car and hopped across the road. She got into the car.
"Who are they?" Sam asked.
"They are my friends" Eden said.
"I told you that if you kept your head up, people will quickly see the real you" Sam said and Eden nodded.
"So how was school?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, it was okay" Eden said before getting the giggles about PSE.
"What are you laughing about?" Sam asked.
"It doesn't matter" Eden said.
"Come on, it must have been funny" Sam said. Eden didn't know if she really wanted to have this conversation with her sister but decided to just go for it.
"Well, we were doing sex ed and it was so funny. And then we were talking about stories which we had encountered, you know like just me and my friends" Eden said and then Sam interrupted
"You didn't tell them about me and Tom did you?" Sam asked and Eden nodded "You little devil"
"It's wasn't that bad, some people's were worse" Eden said.
"How, what could be worse that walking in on your sister doing it?" Sam asked.
"Come on, some of them have walked in on their parents and one even found her mum's vibrator" Eden said and Sam laughed.
"Yea, well I hope you don't know what that is" Sam said.
"Sam, seriously I'm 12 of course I know what it is" Eden said.
"Exactly you're 12, you shouldn't" Sam said. "What the hell do they teach you, what a bloody 69 is?"
"No, I don't know what that means but most people laugh when that number is said. And we just do the basics like we were told about tampons and then we got to put a condom on this like banana thingy" Eden said blushing.
"I can't believe they teach you that and you better not be putting a condom on a boy anytime soon" Sam said. "Seriously, when I was young, we barely even talked about periods"
Eden looked away, this had turned out to be slightly awkward now.
"Eds, you haven't started have you?" Sam asked when it just clicked with her that she hadn't talked to her about it.
Eden blushed and shook her head.
"You promise" Sam said and Eden nodded. "But you will tell me, won't you?"
Eden nodded again.
"Anytime okay, please don't be afraid of me" Sam said and Eden nodded.
"Don't worry, I trust you Sam" Eden said.
"Good girl and I promise I will not be like dad would be and make a massive fuss of it" Sam said.
"I would never tell Dad, I'd much rather hid it forever and ever" Eden said.
"Well, that wouldn't be good either, so please just tell me and I'll have stuff for you" Sam said and Eden nodded.
"Sam, what is a 69?" Eden asked feeling a bit more comfortable with Sam
"It means the man is licking the women while the woman is sucking the man" Sam said bluntly. She more often did this when she a bit awkward and wasn't sure how to tackle the question.
"Erg, that's horrible" Eden said and Sam laughed. They then arrived at Sam's apartment and went up the stairs. Eden started to do some homework while Sam started to make tea. She knew she was going to have to talk to Eden but she just didn't know how.
She made the tea and then called Eden into the kitchen to sit at the table.
"Eden, I need to talk to you?" Sam said. She noticed that Eden looked really warm and clammy. She got up and opened the window.
"So, I just thought that you should know that Tom is going to be moving in with me" She said.
Eden hopped to her room. She didn't want Tom to move in with her sister she wanted her sister to herself. She heard her sister call behind her. She got to her room and fell onto the bed. She put her hand to her head and realised she was sweating buckets. She just realised how awful she was feeling. Suddenly the pain in her leg increased she felt like there was wet, sticky things coming from her leg. She screamed in pain.
"Sam" She screamed absolutely terrified. Sam heard her sister scream with fear in her voice, this panicked Sam and she ran to Eden's room and slammed the door open. She was shocked to see her sister on her bed with fear written all over her.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked.
"I don't feel well" Eden said. Sam went over and felt her head, she was boiling. Sam quickly pulled off Eden's cardigan and took off her shirt. She knew Eden really wasn't well as she didn't even make a fuss as Sam did this. Sam ran into her room and grabbed a vest top and pair of shorts before sticking the top on Eden and changing her joggers to shorts in an attempt to cool her down. Sam picked the girl up and ran to her car. She put Eden down and then drove to the hospital.
They arrived quickly and Sam picked Eden up and carried her into the ED. She ran up to reception, Zoe spotted her.
"Sam, what's wrong with her" Zoe asked walking over to them.
"I don't know, she was fine one minute and like this the other I think it is an infection" Sam said. Zoe put her hand on Eden's head.
"Right, let's get her to resus, she is heating up" Zoe said and guided Sam and Eden to resus. Sam put Eden on the bed and they started working on her. They cut off the cast and were shocked to see a massive cut on the back of her legs.
"It's reopened" Zoe said. "This was definitely closed when I put the cast on"
"It might have reopened when the cast got changed" Sam said. Zoe nodded before putting a line in Eden and trying to get her temperature down and give her some painkillers.
They managed to tidy up the infection and sort that out before they put a cover on it and then put the cast on again. After nearly a couple of hours, Eden's temperature was back down and she was nearly back to normal.
"Why do I have this on?" Eden asked looking down at the vest top which was a bit too big and the shorts which were also a bit baggy on her.
"I needed to get you cooled down, it was the first thing I could find" Sam said.
"What you changed me" Eden said.
"Yeah, you didn't seem that bothered at the time" Sam said.
"I can't even remember that" Eden said.
"That's because you were nearly completely out of it" Sam said. It wasn't long until Zoe said that they could go home. They arrived back at the flat and both got changed into their jammies
"Do you want to sleep with me tonight, I want to keep a close eye on you" Sam asked and Eden nodded.
They got into Sam's bed and cuddled up.
"I'm sorry about earlier" Eden said.
"It's okay, but why?" Sam asked.
"I just, I like it when I have you to myself. I was scared that if Tom was always here then I wouldn't be as close to you" Eden said.
"Sweetie, you are always my sister and I love you. I would never let someone come between us" Sam said cuddling up with her sister.
"I love you too" Eden said cuddling her sister back until they both fell asleep.
Hope this is okay. Please review :)
