When I woke up there was no sun shining through the window and I was shivering all over. I was about to got go to the bathroom when I remembered I was in Adrian's house. I went downstairs and seen Adrian talking to someone in the kitchen. I felt lightheaded but I wanted to go home and get the interrogations over with. To my surprise the blonde talking to Adrian was the alchemist who had come to make a case about my baby. When they seen me she looked a little scared but Adrian looked as overly casual, as usual. I was about to tell him I was heading home when I wobbled a little and my knees almost buckled.
"Rose!" Adrian stepped forward and pulled me up right. When his arm where around me they felt extremely warm. "Rose your so cold, look at you shaking." He turned me to face him. "You've lost all the color on your face as well." Adrian walked me over to his counter and sat me his barstool. "He went opened a drawer and pulled out a first aid kit. He dug through it for a moment before he found a thermometer. He rinsed it under the sink for a second and then told me to open up. After in beeped he pulled it out and the look on his face told me it wasn't good. "101 fever. Normally I'd send you to bed with some chicken soup but I think you should go get a little checkup considering."
He dropped his sentence and I noticed the alchemist was gone. Damn shes quiet. The usual chill in Adrian's voice was fading away. "I'm gonna call..."
"No! I just want to go home." He looked at me wearily. "Please, I just came to say thanks and goodbye."
"Rose, that's a 20 min walked and you couldn't stand for 20 seconds. I'm just going to call your mom to come pick you up and make you an appointment."
"Please don't do that, she doesn't even know where I went, she's going to lose it if you call and say I need a ride to the hospital...Wait does anyone know I'm here?" Adrian nodded.
"Lissa asked me last night if I've seen you and I told them you were at my house and you were safe with a sober Adrian because you needed space. They aren't worried about that, but you need to get checked out." I shook my head.
"Please, I'm leaving so you can walk with me or give me hug goodbye." Adrian looked defeated. He held out his hand and cleared his throat. As I stood up I felt my head start spinning, I didn't realize how heavily I was leaning on Adrian until he yelled my name again.
He put me back in the chair and this time without asking me called Lissa. She didn't answer, he redialed but still no answer.
"Rose, please give me your phone. I didn't feel like arguing anymore but I didn't just hand it over. "Please." I slowly pulled it from my pocket and handed it to him. I thought he was calling my mother so I was surprised to hear this side of the conversation. "Hey Eddie, you still have that car right?... I'll explain later but you need to come to my house now to drive Rose to the doctors... Thanks, I send you the address."
"Eddie?" I wasn't mad but I haven't seen him in over a month. Sometimes I get random texts where he's just checking up on me but he's busy working in the guardian headquarters and I mostly stayed home. Adrian help me up and slowly brought me to the couch that was still a bed. I lay down and he sat on the edge next to me. I felt nauseous but I managed to fall asleep again anyways.
I don't know how long I was out but when I woke up Eddie was talking to Adrian. "Adrian we can't take her to the hospital for this, Lissa is the one who is drinking, not Rose." I was completely dumbfounded, Lissa was drinking again. "They aren't going to have anything they can do if she's not the one with alcohol in her system."
"Eddie, I know but I think someone who actually knows anything should be watching her. What if anything happened because we did nothing." I started to cry. Lissa was drinking again. Why is she doing this to herself. At first it was quiet because I didn't want the boys to hear me but in absolutely no time at all I was a sobbing mess. They both came over to me, neither of them really knew what to do or what was wrong. I pulled myself together enough so I could completely put myself into Lissa's head.
She was at home, in her room. I couldn't get a feel for her emotions because they were everywhere. An empty bottle of vodka was in one hand and the tv remote in the other. She was absentmindedly watching some home decorating show. I was pushed out of her head immediately when I felt the full affects of the alcohol in myself. When I was back to my reality I couldn't focus on anything but the AWEFUL nausea making my head spin like a top. I started to gag but nothing came out. I felt someone pick me up. At first I was on my feet but only a few steps into my long journey to the car I was swooped off my feet.
When I got into the car, I could at least tell Adrain was the one driving, and Eddie was holding me "upright" in the back seat. I was no longer feeling the urge to eject my organs out of me but I was so dizzy I couldn't see straight. I could hear Eddie saying Christians name but I didn't understand the words I was hearing. "Find Lissa now...get her sober as soon as possible!... We're taking Rose to the hospital... Come AFTER you take care of Lissa." When we got their if was sat in a wheelchair and brought to some room. The took off my pajamas and put me in a gown. I got put on a bunch of IVs and then I was out.
PLEASE REVIEW XOXO
