New Shorter Chapter. Own Nothing! Borrowed some stuff from MyBeutifulEnding.
Robin wasn't expecting what happened when he brought Celandine to her home. His parents stood outside with her father as the two walked up. Celandine dropped her friends hand and stared at her father with a concerned gaze.
"What's going on?" Robin asked his father.
"Celandine's mother is very sick right now, she will be staying with us until she gets better." Robert said he looked at Linden who only nodded before bending to Celandine's height.
"I wanna stay with mother." She said stubbornly.
"I know but I can't have you getting sick too, I will grab the things you will need and-"
She shook hear head and Robin has seen the look on her face far too many times to know she was angry. He went over and grabbed her thin hand and held it tightly. She didn't even glance at him but sighed nodding to her father.
They ate dinner in silence Celandine barely touching her food.
"Would you like a roll Celandine?" Robin's mother asked smiling at her.
"No thank you." She said politely, "If it's alright I would like to get some air." She looked at his parents for permission who smiled at the girl and said it was fine for her to leave.
Robin watched quietly as she sat up pushing her chair in at the small table before leaving the room. "I-"He swallowed, "May I?" his father smiled sadly at him.
"I think maybe she needs some space right now." He said.
"No, please I just- I wanna be there for her."
"I say it's okay, go on love." His mother said smiling.
"You do know our son is falling in love Robert?" She said once Robin left.
"I know." Robert smiled, "I worry about the girl Liz. Cori has told us all the turmoil she has been going through lately and Robin knows not a word of it."
Robin sat down next to the younger girl silently. They were on the grassy hill overlooking Locksley. He took in all of his surroundings, the grass was getting taller and greener by the day, he saw a lady bug land on the flowers nearby, everything seemed so peaceful but he knew the girl to his right was on the verge of a meltdown.
"Hey." He said turning his head to her, "It will be okay Cel-"
"No." She shook her head turning to him, "No Robin it won't." She spoke in a harsh tone and rolled her eyes turning away, "You don't know anything about medicine and healing do you?"
"Just the little things you have told me." He said softly, "You don't know that though Celandine. She could be fine tomorrow."
"Or dead." Celandine said her words coming out almost inaudible.
