Ariana jasmine ginger fiona cecilia

after I had the whiskey full shooter and the guy came back and gave me my purse we went to his hotel room. Actually his 2 hotel rooms.

"hey where's mom? And you know you shouldn't be cooking w/o me around," he asked the pretty redhead who was at the stove.

It seemed weird that they had a stove in their hotel room when most didn't but ok.

I looked at the redhead and saw burns on her arms. She notced me looking.

"sorry," I said looking back up.

"thank you. You want some it's pasta," she offered: "i'm cooking for everyone so."

"no I couldn't eat. Where's the bathroom?" I asked itching to cut.

"down the hall."

"ok."

I went down the hall to the bathroom where I closed and locked the door. Outside I heard them talking.

"ginger?" the guy asked.

"cramps," the redhead at the stove said.

"oh. Cecilia?"

"sleeping."

"oh. Ariana?"

"visiting ginger. Mom's visiting jasmine."

"oh."

the rest of my family was back in ct. visiting my mom's family. We were in new york.

"let me take over," the guy said: "do you need water?"

"no I, already took care of it."

"oh."

took care of what? I wondered.

"who is she?"

"i don't know she didn't introduce herself. And neither did I. I just found her outside. She doesn't want to be touched and she's scared. And that's all I can say."

"i offered her some pasta but she doesn't want to eat."

"yeah I know I heard. How much longer?"

"5 mins."

I wondered where the rest of the whiskey was. I didn't think I should go and look.

"will you? Get the plates out. She's in the bathroom so don't go in there."

"oh um ok."

I heard the cabinets being opened and plates taken out and set down on the counter.

"how's jasmine?" the guy asked.

"platelets again and probably a transfusion," the redhead replied.

"oh. Ginger?"

" out. She had to be brought to the hospital she got really sick again."

I wondered what she was sick w/. but the talk of platelets meant jasmine had cancer.

"you know the usual. Lack of vitamn d lack of water..."

as the redhead explained to the guy what had happened I set to work cutting. It hurt but not as much as what had happened to me. I'd left my hand san. in my purse andi didn't want the redhead tokknow I cut. Which was another reason I wondered where the whiskey clean the cuts. I wondered if they had anything in the medicine cabinet but felt weird about looking. So I just waited for the blood to dry.

"yeah ok," I heard the redhead say startling me.

I jumped a bit.

I heard a knock on the door then:

"hey he left something for you. The guy you ran into. My brother it's on the outside of the door," she said.

I heard her walk away from the door.

"god i'm hungry," the guy said.

"yeah me too," the redhead said.

I heard soft footsteps go into the kitchen.

"hey is dinner ready?" a quiet voice asked.

"yeah we're having-"

"ooh pasta. Yum. Ari's?..."

"at the hospital visitig ginger. How long you been asleep for girl?" the guy asked.

"did you just get here?"

"i haven't been here that long."

"oh. Then I was asleep when you left. And apparently when she left."

"oh."

"i have to-"

"don't someone's in there."

"who?"

"we don't know. But we know she's scared and she doesn't like to be touched," the redhead said.

"oh that flower..." the other voice said sad.

She went to the kitchen and got some pasta. After I heard her sit down I came out of the bathroom.

"oh be careful," a brunette told me from her spot on the sofa.

I looked down and at my ft were whiskey bottles. Which I moved out of my way.

"hey you hungry? You ok you've been in there awhile," the brunette asked.

"i couldn't eat. And i'm I...i don't know maybe. Is it-?" I asked wondering if it was cool if idrank in front of them.

"yeah."

"ok. Also your medicine cabinet..."

"doesn't have medicine in it. If you need some it's in mom's suitcase. What do you need honey?"

"i'll just have whiskey for now," I said feeling weird about asking them for anything: "oh my purse," I said spotting it next to the brunette.

"thank you," I said when she handed it to me.

"you're welcome i'm cecilia," she said.

"hi."

"it's ok she didn't intorudce herself to me either," the guy told her.

He looked at me: "yeah these are my sisters other one's fiona."

he indicated the redhead.

"hi,"she said.

"hi," I said.

I got my purse and went and sat away from them on the floor next to the bathroom.i wondered what flower cecilia had been talking about.
