Chapter 31: banned

When I got home, dad and I sat on the sofa and watched Princess and The Frog. I felt so dizzy and sleepy that I could barely keep my eyes open.
"You should go to bed." Dad advised.
"I'm not tired." I replied slurred.
"Stella if you're going to argue with me, make sure I can actually understand what you're saying." Dad smiled slightly.
"Kay." I said, my eyes felt so heavy.
"Oh come here." Dad said. He picked me up gently. "I'll carry you, it's not like you can walk."
My eyelids felt so heavy I didn't oblige. My whole body ached and I was desperate to sleep. All I remembered was being tucked under the duvet, before I completely feel into a deep sleep.

I woke up feeling incredibly stiff and painful. My stomach also killed and I felt nauseous again. I slowly tried to prop myself up but it hurt too much. My hand had sharp pains running through it, and my back and my hips felt bruised and aching.
"Dad." I called out weakly. I heard shuffling and dad entered my room quickly.
"What's wrong Stella." Dad asked gently.
"I think I'm going to be sick, can you help me up." I said quickly. Instead of helping me, dad rushed out of the room. He came back in a few seconds later with a bucket. He rushed over and handed it to me. He got their just in time because as soon as I grabbed the bucket, I threw up. I surprisingly felt much better.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"I calculated the amount of time a person has before their actually sick, and the estimated time it would of taken you to get to the bathroom." Dad said quickly.
"Well thanks." I croaked.
"I'll just clean this up." Dad said kindly, taking away the bucket.
"Thanks." I replied, slightly embarrassed. It was usually mum who looked after me when I was ill. I rested my head back down on the pillows and closed my eyes a little, to try and stop it from spinning. I had a mild concussion and my head was still throbbing. A few minutes later, dad emerged with his hands full. He had a glass of water, tablets and a hot water bottle in one hand, and ice, a plate of toast and a face cloth in the other.
"Right I got you, some ice for your head, it's probably still hurting. A hot water bottle for your back as its still bruised. A glass of water because you probably want to wash your mouth out. A face cloth to clean yourself up a little. Some toast, because you haven't eaten in about a day, and some pain killers, because you're in a lot of pain." Dad said, laying out each object.
I smiled gratefully at him. I gently placed the hot water bottle under my back, the heat comforted the pain a great deal. I then cleaned up my face with the wash cloth, and then took my tablets. I placed the ice on my head, the coldness felt nice against the throbbing. I nibbled at the toast because I wasn't that hungry, but I wanted to please dad.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"Anytime Stella. Now call me if you need anything." Dad said, kissing my forehead. He got up and left the room, leaving me to sort myself out. After I ate as much as the toast as possible, I decided to check my phone. I had two texts. I opened the first one, which happened to be from Henry.

Hey Stel, I'm so sorry about what happened. We all feel so bad. I hope I didn't break you too much. I would come visit you, but your dads banned me from seeing you for three days. Doesn't mean I won't still come though. Ring or text me on how you're feeling, I'm worried xxxxx

I had no idea my dad had banned Henry from seeing me. So I instantly text him back.

When the hell did my dad ban you! Don't worry I've got some sorting out to do! You didn't break me too much so I don't see why he's banning you! Please come over anyway, I'm going to be so bored at home and dads being overly kind to me. I knew he was up to something! Typical him xxxx - I texted back. I couldn't believe dad banned Henry.

Still angry I opened the next text. It was from Ellie.

Hey Stella, please ring us if you can. You need to catch us up on so much. We miss you! Xxx

I decided to ring Ellie, as I hadn't updated them since me and Henry got together. The phone rang twice before it picked up.
"Hey Stella, why you hollering at my line?" Came Charley's voice. I instantly started laughing.
"Hey Charley, why are you on Ellie's phone?" I asked.
"Because, well, I don't know actually. Ellie why am I on your phone." Charley called out.
"Because you were taking selfies. Now put her on loudspeaker." Molly shouted out.
"Hey Molly, hey Ellie." I called out.
"Hey Stella." They chanted back.
"So what's new in the exciting life of Stella Reid?" Ellie asked.
"Quite a lot to be honest. I started school." I replied.
"How'd it go?" Molly asked.
"Well actually, Henry introduced me to his friends who are all so nice. But don't worry you guys are still my besties." I joked.
"You bet we are." Charley laughed.
"How is Henry?" Ellie asked.
"He's good. He's been through a lot this week,but he's going to be alright." I said.
"Why what happened?" Molly asked concerned.
"Just stuff to do with his parents. They've been fighting a lot and it's really affected him." I said. I trusted Molly, Ellie and charley, and I knew they wouldn't tell anyone what I told them.
"Well tell him that we hope he's alright." Molly replied.
"I will." I promised.
"So what else is new?" Ellie asked.
"I um, kind of broke my arm." I stammered.
"WHAT!" They shouted.
"How?" Molly asked concerned.
"We were playing dares and I fell through the roof." I replied embarrassed.
"Well that was clever." Charley said sarcastically.
"How badly is it broken? Did you hurt anything else?" Ellie asked worried.
"I had it pinned. I've also got a concussion, bruised back and hip and a sprained leg." I informed them.
"Christ, you've really hurt yourself Stella." Charley said.
"I'll be fine. I've got dad looking after me." I said.
"What did your dad say?" Molly asked.
"Well he had to come back from a case, so he was pretty mad. He wouldn't talk to me or Henry for a while. He's fine now, but he's banned Henry from seeing me for three days." I sighed slightly.
"Well that sucks." Ellie said.
"I know." I replied.
"Well we all hope you get well soon Stella." Molly said kindly.
"Thanks guys, it's made me feel better talking to you." I said happily.
"Anytime Stella." Ellie replied. "We've got to go now because it costs, but we love you and miss you."
"Miss you too guys, bye." I said sadly.
"Bye Stella."
"Byee."
"Adìos." They all said before they hung up. I hated saying goodbye to them. In a bad mood, I decided to confront dad.
"Dad." I shouted out.
"Yes stel." Dad said, coming istraits ght away.

"Why is Henry banned from seeing me?" I asked sternly.

"Dam, I knew I should of taken your phone." Dad sighed. "I just feel you should have a little distance, that's all. Strictly speaking, I didn't ban him. I just advised him not to come over for a while."

"Still, I'm not happy with you." I said pouting.

"He can come round later, if it means that much." Dad sighed.

"Still not happy." I pouted.

"Stop being so cranky." Dad smiled playfully.

"I'm not." I huffed.

"Then smile for me." Dad laughed. Annoyed, I pulled the most goofiest smile I could.

"That's my beautiful girl." Dad smiled.
