Chapter 32: bizarre
After my rant with dad, I ended up falling asleep for another hour. When I finally woke up, I could hear numerous voices out in the hall. Slowly propping myself up, I got out of bed. It was extremely painful and I couldn't help but wince. Realizing, I was in my pajamas, I made my way over to my drawers. I pulled out a pair of sweatpants and carefully slid them on over my pajama shorts. Everything ached. My foot was swollen and bruised and it hurt to walk. My headache had gone down though, and I no longer felt so dizzy. I opened my door and made my way out into the hall. I could tell straight away that Emily and Derek were here. Limping, I went out into the living room.
"Stella." Dad said rushing over. "You should of called me, I would of helped you."
He guided me to the sofa and I quickly sat down.
"I didn't want to bother you." I replied.
"We leave you for one day and this is what you do." Derek joked.
"Well it wasn't my fault." I tried to say back. This made them all laugh.
"How exactly was it not your fault?" Emily asked laughing.
"I didn't know the roof was going to break." I said lamely. I wasn't even convincing myself.
"What were you even doing up there?" Derek asked, highly amused.
"It was dares." I replied embarrassed.
"Well that was sensible." Emily laughed.
"Well lets just say, I'm not climbing sheds anytime soon." I stated. Derek and Emily already knew what happened, so they were obviously just taking the piss.
"It's not like that's even possible, giving your condition." Derek said in hysterics.
"Dad, tell them it's not funny." I moaned.
"I must not tell lies." Dad said, reciting Harry Potter.
"Help me up, I'm going back to bed." I groaned.
"Come on, don't be like that, we were kidding. Now I do honestly want to know of my goddaughter is alright." Derek said apologetically.
"I'm fine Derek." I sulked.
"Come on, talk to me mini reid. How's things going with lover boy?" He asked playfully. I couldn't help but smile at dads face.
"We're good, but dad has banned him from the house." I moaned, knowing that Derek would be on my side.
"Come in pretty boy, that's a bit far." Derek smiled.
"No it's not. For starters I didn't ban him, I just advised him not to come round. Secondly, she was at Henry's house when it happened, and lets just say they weren't being at all responsible." Dad replied seriously.
"What do you mean they weren't being responsible." Emily asked, wanting in on the gossip. I just sat there, my cheeks growing redder and redder.
"Henry just had a few friends over for the night. Nothing happened." I stated, I didn't want dad to say anything to embarrassing.
"If you say so." Emily smirked.
"Can we just drop this." I pleaded.
"Fine, but I'm not going to promise anything." Morgan smirked, causing me to glare at him.
"Anyway, how was your case?" I asked.
"It was bizarre." Dad sighed.
"People were being drugged and ended up hallucinating." Morgan said.
"Sounds a bit like Sherlock Holmes, you know in the Hound of the Baskervilles." I said, it was a really odd case.
"That's exactly what your father said." Emily smiled.
"The weirdest thing was though, we didn't catch who did it. We realized that each victim had been spiked, as someone but the drug in their tea. But we didn't find out who did it and it just stopped." Derek informed me. It was a remarkably weird case.
"Maybe it was just a Sherlock Holmes fan." I said, trying to lighten the mood which had turned dark.
"Yeah maybe." Dad murmured.
"Anyway, what are you guys doing here? I never even asked you that." I said, changing the subject.
"We came to check up on you, silly." Emily smiled.
"More like take the piss." I smiled back.
"Stella." Dad said sternly.
"What, it's not like you can ground me." I joked.
"Yeah, but I can still take away your phone." Dad teased.
"You wouldn't go there." I teased back.
"Watch me."
"No! No, I'm sorry." I said surrendering, my phone was my life.
"That's what I thought." Dad replied slyly. Completely thinking about my arm, I lunged towards dad. I completely missed though and ended up falling on the floor awkwardly. I couldn't help but cry out in pain. My arm hit the floor pretty hard, along with my back, my hips and my leg. The only thing that didn't seem to hurt was my head.
"Stella." Dad cried out.
"Stella are you okay?" Emily asked concerned.
"Just give me a sec." I said through a clenched jaw. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to block out the pain.
"What hurts?" Derek asked.
"Everything." I whimpered. I tried to keep it together, but I was in so much pain.
"Stella I'm going to pick you up." Derek warned. He gently lifted me and put me on the sofa. I still d my eyes tightly shut.
"Why is it always you." Dad sighed.
"I'll get you some ice." Morgan said, I heard him run off somewhere.
"I'll get you some pain killers." Emily said, walking away so it was just me and dad. I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry and the tears ran over. Dad got his finger and brushed them away.
"It hurts." I whimpered.
"I know, but I'm going to be here." Dad said softly, he gently rocked me back and forth as I cried in his arms.
