Chapter 11: The Last Sleep Over Part 1

By the time Mathew came home from the library, Chiara and Alfred were up in the Family room watching a movie and stuffing their faces with popcorn. It was their last sleep over together so they wanted to go all out.

Once the movie ended, Alfred exclaimed, "Let's play Just Dance 3!"

Chiara only nodded. "Sure thing, but you can play alone for a while. All that popcorn made my stomach hurt."

Alfred sighed. "Sure … Get better soon though! I want to totally show that I can beat you!"

She rolled her eyes and made her way out of the room and over to the bathroom. As she sat on the toilet, her stomach rumbling, she began to think about random things to pass the time. Feliciano was supposedly out with Elizaveta. She invited him to dinner, along with that prick Roderich, Antonio, Gilbert, France, and even the Potato Bastard. She invited Chiara as well but seeing that her last sleep over with Alfred was around the same time, she declined.

Chiara didn't feel too good. She felt worst then she did whenever she got those cramps during that time of month. Thinking back … Chiara remembered the first time her period started. It was at a sleep over too …


It was when she was around eleven and she and Alfred were sitting on the couch with their snuggies while watching Princess and the Frog. Everything was quiet except for Alfred's annoying laughter that seemed to never stop. Suddenly Chiara felt a little odd, down below. At first she wondered if she had to use it or not so she asked Alfred to pause the movie for a second while she went to the bathroom. Alfred complied and obediently sat there waiting for her return.

Once Chiara was in the bathroom she pulled down her pajama pants and took a quick peek. Well, it meant to be a quick peek, but once she spotted red liquid flowing down her panties and legs her eyes widened and she stared at the blood for what seemed like minutes before she shrieked.

Alfred and Mathew both stopped whatever they were doing and raced towards the loud shout.

Chiara, seeing how she lived with boys practically all of her life had no idea what was happening. All she could do was helplessly look at the blood and scream. Finally, after staring at it for so long she began trying to wipe off the blood with a paper towel but no matter how much she scrubbed off, more would keep coming.

Alfred, in alarm, kept knocking on the bathroom door shouting things like, "Chiara?! What's wrong?! What happened?!" She would only respond with crying, however. She couldn't help but cry her eyes out. She was mortified by what was happening to her. After moments of hearing nothing but sobbing, Alfred impatiently began kicking the door, pleading for her to open it.

Mathew at first thought it would be best to leave her alone but then she began screaming again, and he got even more worried. Alfred kicked at the door over and over until after what seemed like five very long and frightening minutes, the door flew open, the lock finally breaking.

When Alfred walked in he saw a half-naked Chiara on the floor bleeding all over. His eyes widened in shock, not knowing what was happening. He rushed to her side, not caring if the blood got on his clothes. Chiara continued crying and trying to cover up the spilling blood with toilet paper.

"Mattie! Call Elizaveta!" Alfred had ordered, still a little frightened by all the blood covering his friend. Mathew raced into the kitchen and found the phone. Once he had it, he raced back towards the bathroom and immediately dialed in the Hungarian's phone number.

"Hello?"

"H-Hello, Elizaveta … this is Mathew … Alfred's brother …"

"… I'm sorry I don't seem to remember-"

Mathew cut her off by saying, "Sorry but this is really important." He immediately conveyed the whole situation to her in one breath. By the time he finished, she asked, "Does Chiara know what's going on?"

Mathew took one glance at her and knew that answer. "No."

"Alright, I'll be over there in a minute! Tell her to hang on! Big Sis Lizzie is coming!"

It didn't take long for the Hungarian girl to get there. Mathew opened the front door for her and they quickly made their way into the bathroom. She excused the two brothers and talked to Chiara alone. She explained what a period was and that it would occur monthly from then on. Chiara listened closely, her tears starting to dry up. Elizaveta explained it all before reassuring her and telling her it would be alright. After ten minutes of comforting the girl, she cleaned Chiara up and showed her out to use sanitary napkins.

Alfred and Mathew nervously waited in the living room. Alfred paced back and forth, while his brother hugged a pillow and watched as the clock ticked. The two girls took it upon themselves to wash out all the blood from her panties and wipe it up from the floor. Her pajama pants were another story so they sloppily put it in a Kroger's bag. The two even arranged for a shopping trip the next day to buy a few things that might be needed in the future.

Finally Chiara and Elizaveta reemerged from the bathroom with the Italian girl looking all fresh and new. Immediately Alfred tackled her in giant hug explaining how worried he was and how his heart was pounding the whole time. He really thought she was going to die for a second.

Elizaveta then embarrassingly told the boys about periods for future reference. You could never be too careful.


Chiara smiled at the memory. That was the most awkward conversation ever. After grunting, she then felt her stomach begin to ease just a little. She let out a breath of air she didn't know she was holding and sat on the toilet seat just a little longer before finally getting up.
