Thanks to everyone who has been supportive of my choice of storyline. I'm very open about what happened to me in the past and to be honest it was books that helped through that hard time.

Now, enjoy this chapter.


Chapter Eleven:

I sat on the arm chair across from Jill's bed/sofa, watching her sleep. What happened last night opened my eyes to what was happening to Jill. I had a feeling that this had to do with a bit of Lissa, as she was sort of rejecting Jill. But I also knew there was also something else.

Then my bedroom door opened to a waking up Scott.

"Morning Rosie," He muttered, coming over to me.

"Morning," I replied with a small smile.

He looked at me, "Are you okay?"

I forced a wider smile, "Yeah...just thinking."

He looked at me for a second before nodding, "I'm going to have something to eat, do you want something?" Sometimes I really loved Scott, as he was always looking out for me.

I smiled and shook my head, "No thanks."

He nodded again and headed for the kitchen. Leaving me with my thoughts.

A second later I got my mobile out and the name LISSA was on it. I was about to call her, but then I hesitated. What would Lissa do? She made it perfectly clear she wanted nothing to do with Jill and that she needed "time". But what would she really do? She wouldn't even look twice at Jill last night.

Suddenly, Jill was waking up.

I got up from where I was sitting and went over to her bed, looking down at her.

"What was that last night?" I asked, straight to the point.

She groaned as she sat up, not looking at me. "Nothing."

I snorted, "That," I pointed to the bathroom "was not nothing."

She still didn't look at me, "I just felt sick."

Even a two year old could tell she was lying.

I quickly went into the kitchen, grabbed a Kitkat bar and went back to Jill. "Okay, eat this, right here and right now."

She looked at the chocolate bar, a horrified expression. "Okay," She choked and hesitantly grabbed the bar and opened it.

As she started to eat it slowly, I would see her face expression turn into sick. Sadness.

She had just eaten half of it when she dropped it and started running towards the bathroom.

"JILL!" I shouted as I went after. I caught her just as she opened the door. I grabbed her waist and pulled her body back towards mine as she struggled against me. She cried out as tears ran down her tears.

"Please!" She screamed as she continued to struggle. Seeing her like this, it was the most horrible thing in the world. "Please..." her scream turning into painful whisper as we both dropped to the ground. Her face was red as volcano as she continued to sob against me. "I can't do this anymore..." She choked.

I smoothed her hair, "Shh..." I whispered to her.

A moment later I felt someone watching us. I looked over my shoulder to see my eight year old brother. He had a confused expression mixed with fear as he watched a weak, sick Jill cry in my arms. I gave him a look that said to go back into the kitchen.

He swallowed and nodded, he was then gone.


"Rose, what's going on?" Adrian asked as me, him and Scott stood in the hallway. I told Scott not to tell anyone what was going on with Jill, not until I was 100% sure I knew what I was dealing with.

"Nothing to worry about," I lied. "Me and Jill are just going to talk, so that's why I need you to look after Scott for a few hours."

He gave me a look saying that he knew I was lying. But only said, "Okay, sure." He looked down to Scott, "Come on Little Nerd, I'm hungry."

Scott grinned at Adrian and said to me, "See you later Rosie."

They soon were gone and I closed the door. I didn't really know how to talk to Jill. What could I say? I wasn't related to her in anyway, I was her half sister's guardian and best friend. But I did know Jill a bit better than Lissa did. And right now, I had a feeling that I was all she had got. No one to turn to.

When I walked into the living room, I saw Jill on the sofa, knees up to her chest and her thin arms wrapped around them. It was know I noticed how long she has been doing this to herself. It must of been around the time when it was revealed that Jill was Lissa's sister. It was now I saw how skinny she was as she looked more skinner than a snake.

I sighed and went over to her, gently sitting next to her.

"I'm sorry," Jill mumbled as she wiped the tears off her cheeks with her jumper sleeve. "I don't mean to – "

"Don't apolozige, it's not your fault...things just happen." I said. I leaned back on the sofa, "But what I don't understand is why?"

She finally looked at me, pain and lost in her eyes made it unbearable to look. But I did.

"Ever since I found out who I am, I knew things were going to change." More tears ran down her cheeks. "But not so dramatically."

I raised my eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

She struggled, "When I got back to the academy, everyone treated me differently. People who didn't talk to me started...talking to me." She did a little laugh, "At first I thought I had all of the friends I could of dreamed of. But how wrong I was." She looked away from me and towards the opposite wall. "One night while I was at one of their private parties, they...they..." She breathed as she wiped more of her tears away. "They put something in my drink and dumped me by the wards. Luckily a guardian found me in time before I caught something and took me to the clinic. I was in the clinic for days until they finally let me go." She stopped.

I put my hand on her shoulder, "It's okay, you can say what you like, I'm not one to judge."

She snorted, "Well they were. When I finally got to the people who spiked me, they told me I was worthless. And the only reason they hung out with me was because they wanted to see what the fuss was about. Then they called me...fat. That I wasn't pretty enough to be a princess." Now she burst into tears and I wrapped my arm around her. "It started soon after that...me doing that thing." She muttered, "I don't know why I did it, but it felt nice...then it soon turned into a habit and I couldn't stop!"

She then cried into my chest and I hugged her, seeing that she needed someone more than ever.


After an hour of crying, Jill felt tired and went back to sleep. But while she was crying she told me she just wanted her sister to be there, to hug her like I was. That only made me feel guilty. I didn't know why Lissa was acting this way, but I was going to find out. But I couldn't leave Jill on her own, knowing that her habit could happen at any moment.

So I picked up the phone and called the person I knew I could trust the most.


Well...it was really hard writing this but it was good for me to finally get this storyline out there. It also helped me a bit as I know for sure I won't go back down that road again.

Who do you think Rose is calling?

I've already planned the next storyline after this and Rose's dad is coming into town! WHOOA! ABE'S BACK BITCHES! I don't know why but I always have to say that about Abe when he comes into the picture in my stories. Abe is one of my favourite characters :D

Tell me what you think of this chapter please :D
