Before I even had time to gather my thoughts the bathroom door was opening up. Of course the locks would work from both sides. What the hell was I thinking? I tried to heave my body up to a standing position but my legs just kept giving away under my own weight. I had gone too far. I always went too far.
I looked at the door panic stricken as it seemed to open in slow motion, like something out of a horror movie. Having horse face see me like this was a terrifying thought. She had been so angry with me in the clinic room when I would not drink the damn Ensure and told me there would be consequences. What the hell would she do to me now? Lock me in the ECA and throw away the key? No, I was not looking forward to seeing her here, or even worse, what if it was Crystal (who was also on shift) that caught me? I shuddered at the thought but there was nothing I could do now, so I closed my eyes and waited for the low beeping alarm to be sounded and the grasping arms to be restrained around my chest again.
“Mi, what the hell are you doing?” Bella hissed. I opened my eyes in surprise to see the tiny Bella rushing over to me crouching by the toilet. She put her hand on my clammy back. “You were really going for it in here Mi,” She said peering at the contents of the toilet. She did not even wince at the sight that looked back up at her. “If the staff find out you will be red’ed for sure, you’re throwing up blood, really not a good sign for your average bulimic.” I groaned as she muttered my worst fears.
“Well come on then!” She said urgently tugging on my top, “Let’s get it cleaned up in here before they notice your missing, or worse they notice I‘m missing and find us both in here! I tell you I‘m not going back on red observations again, Ever. It’s bad enough that Esmee decided that she wanted me on green ten minutes.” I looked at her shocked; she was going to help me?
“I take it you don’t want them to find out, because if you do I will just go and grab one and they can clean you up.”
“No.” I managed to prise out my throat much to its protest. I still couldn’t believe she wasn’t running to tell them. In fact she seemed strangely undeterred by the state she found me in even more so considering the first time I saw she ran out of the room practically screaming.
“Aren’t you freaked out?” I asked.
“Oh please.” Bella scoffed before holding out her hand to help me up. I took it and she heaved me to my unsteady feet. She was a lot stronger then she looked for someone so tiny.
After a few minutes of furious scrubbing and cursing Bella flushed the toilet that was now looking spotless and turned her attention to me. She threw another paper towel at me smiling slightly. Her smile was contagious and before I knew it I smiled to. This for some reason made her start to giggle.
“Here, wipe your mouth off you look like something from twilight.” Bella laughed. Confused I turned my self around and looked in the mirror and saw what she meant. My lips teeth and some of my chin where covered in sticky blood and a thick clear drool. nice
“Oh god, I’m sorry that’s vile.” I said viciously wiping my face off with the paper towel. Bella just giggled at me, leaning against the wall next to the shower like what she was doing was the most normal thing in the world.
“I don’t know Mi I think you would make a lovely vampire. At least we wouldn‘t have to eat. ”
“Just slaughter the
City when we got a tad thirsty,” I smiled. At this we both burst into fits of
giggles. It was good to have a friend like Bella.
