Chapter 21
(Flora's POV)
Helia doesn't take long so he quickly gets out of the shower and comes out the bathroom dried and in pyjamas. He walks over to my and kneels down next to the beanbag I'm on. He picks me up bridal style and carries me to the bed before I can argue. "My flower I told you to try and sleep you're exhausted and you need to rest." Helia tells me. I sigh.
"I was waiting for you, now I feel bad that you've had to carry me." I say with a sigh and a small yawn. Helia looks at me and frowns.
"Don't feel bad my flower I did it on my own because I didn't want you to walk, I'm fine with it now it's time to sleep you're tired and so am I." Helia replies and he gives me a quick kiss on the lips before pulling the duvet over us. I move closer to him and I feel his arms wrap around my waist. I let my arms rest against his chest and our legs tangle up like they always do.
"Goodnight Helia." I whisper. I feel him kiss my forehead gently causing me to smile as I close my eyes.
"Goodnight my flower." He whispers back just before I drift off to sleep.
I wake up in Helia's arms. I look up to see that he's still asleep. I smile as I look at his sleeping face. I try to move to get up but every time I do his arms tighten a little and pull me closer to him again. I sigh trying to get up once again. I hear Helia groan sleepily causing me to giggle a little. "Flora please just lay down, five more minuets I don't want to move." Helia begs as he pulls me down next to him once gain and rests his head on mine. I sigh a little and nuzzle my head into his chest.
"Okay Helia just five more minuets but then we need to get up." I tell him firmly. He nods.
"Thank you." He thanks me. We stay like that for another five minuets before he sits up with me still in his arms. I can't help but smile a little. "Come on my flower you said that we need to get up." Helia tells me. I nod as we both get up. I quickly make the bed and use my magic to get us both dressed. "What now?" Helia asks me.
"Well it's 9 am so if the others aren't up then we get the fun of waking them up." I reply. Helia laughs as we go down to where the other's rooms are. We slowly go in their rooms waking them up by shaking them and pulling the covers of them but as some of them still don't get up we make loud noises and jump on their beds until they're up. We eat before going back to our schools, unfortunately separating from the guys. Me and the girls spend the whole day at Alfea with the pixies talking, with Stella planning what we're going to wear tomorrow. At about midday I start to feel a bit sick and dizzy but I ignore it. I'm probably just nervous this is the first group date I've been apart of I'm probably nervous about tomorrow.
"Flora are you okay you seem about out of it?" Aisha asks. Suddenly all eyes are on me. I force a smile and nod.
"I'm fine, I'm just nervous for tomorrow, I've never been part of a group date before." I reply slightly embarrassed. All the girls gasp hearing that I've never been part of a group date before, but in my defence Helia is my first boyfriend.
"We are going to have to organise may more group dates then, Flora they are so fun you'll love it and there is no need to be nervous! It'll be like when all twelve of us hang out apart from we're doing couple things together." Stella tells me. I nod. I hope it'll be like that.
"Flora how may boyfriends have you had before Helia?" Bloom asks me. I look down slightly embarrassed.
"Actually Helia is my first boyfriend." I answer sheepishly.
"Wow I had two before Sky." Bloom tells me with a small laugh. Seeing I'm embarrassed Aisha puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles.
"Don't worry Flora Nabu is my first boyfriend as well." Aisha tells me.
"I had one before Timmy." Tecna adds in.
"Me and Stella have had about ten before Riven and Brandon." Musa laughs. We all look at her and Stella and shake our heads. I swear those two have always been better with boys then the rest of us. Even though I've only met them this year I always see the boys staring at them because of their looks. I can't help but sigh quietly as I think about it. None of that matters to me though. I join in with their current conversation about all their previous boyfriends. Me and Aisha are just listening to it as neither of us have had a boyfriend before Helia and Nabu so we can't really say anything. After a few more hours of talking we eat dinner and then go to bed all of us excited for the next day.
I wake up with a small groan and almost fall out of my bed. "Flora are you okay?" Bloom asks e rushing over. I nod weakly a force myself to sit up. I see that she's already dressed. I frown. Oh God what if I take too long?
"Bloom why didn't you wake me up? What time is it?" I ask her urgently.
"Calm down Flora you looked tired so I let you sleep for a few more minuets and it's seven forty-five you still have fifteen minuets to get ready before the guys get here." Bloom replies. "Girls get here we need to help Flora get ready!" Bloom yells. All the girls rush in.
"Flora are you okay you look quite pale?" Musa asks me worried. I get to my feet and nearly fall but luckily Bloom catches me.
"I'm fine." I tell them weakly even though I know I'm lying to everyone, including myself.
"Flora we can just have the date another time you're in no shape to go anywhere apart from back to bed, we can stay here and look after you." Stella tells me. I shake my head trying to walk over to her. As I get closer to all of them I fall but Aisha catches me luckily for me. She places one of her cool hands on my burning forehead and frown pulling her hand away.
"She's burning." Aisha says helping me back to my bed. I get back in bed and sigh. "Flora don't worry we'll stay and look after you and keep you company." Aisha assures me. I shake my head instantly.
"No all of you go I'll be fine besides we can reorganise it and do it another time." I tell them trying to lighten the mood but even I can't force a smile. I'm really disappointed that I have to miss this, it was going to be he first group date I'd go on.
"The boys are here I guess we should go." Tecna says I can hear the disappointment in her voice. I frown. They haven't even left and I've already ruined it for all of them!
"You'll still have fun, I'll see you all when you get back." I assure them. They all nod and slowly leave hugging me and saying goodbye just before they go. As soon as I'm sure they're gone I get up. I can't let them or Helia down! Before I can even try and get changed I feel weak and my vision gets dark. My body feels like it's on fire as I start getting dizzy and light headed. I collapse and quickly pass out.
I wake up in strong arms. I look up to see who's holding me and I gasp. I start crying and I can't help but let out a small scream. It's a monster! A scary, viscous creature. It turns to me startled, it's sharp teeth make me nervous as it's dark red eyes make me want to scream again. I struggle trying to get out of it's grasp but it holds me tighter. It makes a strange sort of growling noise causing me to cover my ears and cry even more. I feel myself being laid down and something warm being pulled over me before I pass out again.
(Helia's POV)
I waited with the other guys for the girls to come out. We all had some flowers for them each with their kind of colours, sky has blue flowers for Bloom, Riven has red flowers for Musa, Nabu has green flowers for Aisha, Brandon has orange flowers for Stella and I have pink roses for Flora. All the girls came out apart from Flora. "Where's Flora?" I asked them. They all stopped talking and looked at me. The girl all sighed.
"Inside she's not well we didn't want to leave her here and we said we'd cancel the date but she insisted we didn't." Aisha had replied sadly.
"You all go on the date I'm going to stay here with Flora." I told the before I walked inside and up to the girls' dorm. I put the flowers I had for Flora down as I walked in and I went into her dorm to see her collapsed on the floor. Her long brunette hair partly covering her now pale face while her beautiful jade green eyes remain closed. I picked her up and as I did she woke up. She started crying and screaming as she struggled in my arms. I tightened my grip on her slightly so she couldn't get out of my grasp. "It's okay my flower it's just me." I tried to assured her but she covered her hers and started crying even more. That's when it hit me. She was hallucinating! I reached her bed and laid her down as I pulled the duvet over her body. She passed out again.
That brings me to where I am now. Sitting next to her. I have a bowl of ice water and a damp cloth that's over her forehead. I've put the flowers I brought for her in a vase fully of water on the small table next to her bed as I know she's better when she has healthy nature around her. It's the fever she has around the time my parents first put us to the test but this time it's worse. I sigh taking the cloth of her head and putting it in the water again squeezing the water out and then putting it back on her head. I stay with her all day looking after her until I hear the others come in. They're being really loud. I look at Flora who's still unconscious but having nightmares. Every time she wakes up she's hallucinating. She lets out another scream from her nightmare and I hear all the others go quiet before running in here. They watch me putting the cloth in the ice water squeezing the water out and then putting it back on her forehead and they all sigh. She wakes up. I hold a finger to my lips to tell them to be quiet as she starts crying and lets out a few small screams. I held the wet cloth to her burning head. "Oh God is she okay?" Stella can't help but asks. Flora instantly covers her ears and starts crying more. Not long after she passes out again.
"Stella be careful you can't make a sound once she wakes up, she's hallucinating she can't see or hear what there really is to her we probably look and sound like monsters." I explain as I look down at her sadly. I hate seeing her like this!
A/N I'm sorry I've been so busy with school! I'm trying to post as soon as I can but I have a lot more work to do this year!
