Chapter 4: Speed and PB And Jelly Sandwich!
When they got there they saw Zilda sitting on the couch watching television. 'Geez sorry, I didn't think that I had to ask to watch a little t/v, I guess I'll just sit here and stare at the freaking wall!" 'Oh no Zilda", Quatre was smiling "I guess we just aren't used to having more than five people here, you can watch t/v" "Thanks" she said and went back to watching the news.
After cleaning the dinner up they all went to the living room to watch some t/v to. When they came in Zilda got up to go in the kitchen, "Where you going Zilda" asked Trowa? "I'm going to get a drink if that's okay?" "Yeah, sure." And she left again.
"Man I thought she would enjoy some company," Duo said frowning. Trowa went into see if Zilda was okay because he had a weird feeling she was not as fine as she had led on. When he came in he saw her opening a bottle and taking out a whole bunch of pills. "Hey thinks that's enough pills?" Zilda jumped and dropped the bottle and the pills. Trowa walked over and picked it up. "Give it to me now" she said. "Hmm speed what are you taking these for?" he looked at the small girl who was so skinny and frail in front of him. Why was she taking speed was she afraid of falling asleep in front of them? "It's none of your business" she said and grabbed the bottle from him and put the pills back in then downed about three of them.
"You want me to make you something to eat?" he asked smiling. "Um do you have any peanut/butter and jelly?" Trowa almost laughed but went over to the cupboard and got some bread and peanut butter out then went to the refrigerator and called out. "We have strawberry, blackberry, or orange what do you want?" "Strawberry is fine," she said. Trowa made her the sandwich and cut it in half, and handed it to her. She looked up at him and mumbled a thank you. He sat down and watched her she looked down at the sandwich then up at him and finally picked it up and tasted it. She ate half of it, and then looked back at Trowa who was still staring at her and she got up and ran to the door. Trowa followed her. "Are you alright Zilda?" She was throwing up and her shoulders were shaking. After she finished she looked at Trowa again. "I'm sorry it was a real good sandwich it's just I guess after not eating for a week I should have started out with soup or something." "Yeah that's true, so want to go back inside and watch some t/v with us?" She didn't answer him but just followed him in.
Heero was sitting on the love seat with Quatre on the other end of it and Wufei and Duo were one the big couch. "Hey who went outside?" Heero asked. Zilda looked at Trowa and he answered for her. "Zilda tried to eat after not having anything solid for a week and got sick." 'Oh" was all Heero said.
"So you going to just stand there or are you going to sit down and watch t/v," asked Duo? Zilda sat down as far away from the rest of the three people sitting on the couch. Duo kept sliding down and getting closer to her and she would just scoot further down. Soon she was at the end of the couch and couldn't move any further. She glared at him, "what?" she asked. "Why do you keep moving away I'm trying to make friends', and he smiled at her? Zilda blushed and looked down; the next time he scooted closer she didn't move away. Heero was glad it was dark in the room or the others would have seen the huge grin spread over his face. Only Duo could be so bold he thought.
After awhile, Dou was complaining about how he wanted to watch cartoons and Heero was telling him how the news was important. When Wufei noticed Zilda had rolled up in a little ball and was sleeping. He motioned for the others to shut up and then they all just stared at the small girl all curled up and now shivering. Trowa got up and went and got a blanket and placed at on her. They went on watching the news and occasionally Quatre and Duo would get into a discussion. It was near midnight when they all decided to go to bed. "Are we just going to leave her here tonight?" asked Duo "I guess," said Trowa and he tucked the blanket back on her.
