Chapter 24 - CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR- POKER LOVE

( The next day rows around pretty lazily, as it's going to be such a chilled day or so everyone thinks) Lizzy:Mmm( I practically yell at the top of my voice as I've had such a bad nightmare, and my leg won't work for some reason.I'm so scared) please, can you come quickly?I need you. Angel:( she rushes out of bed so quickly that she nearly falls over.But she's more worried about her precious baby than herself) what is it sweetheart are you alright.( i look worried as I feel her forehead and her forehead is red hot) oh, sweetheart, you red hot? I'll go grab the thermometer to check your temperature

(the normal temperature of a person who was a child is thirty seven degrees but to angel lizzy feels a lot hotter than that)

Angel: Put this in your mouth and you will tell me your exact temperature( she does so and within 2 minutes. It shows the temperature as 41°. So that means it's four degrees, hotter and telling angel that lizzy definitely has a fever.So she must be unwell) you really are well, my poor sweet pee me and jasper will get you some cough medicine just in case your throat starts to hurt really badly.( She nods in agreement) also, just chill on your phone. If you want to, I'll go to wake dad up. And me and Jasper will get some stuff for you …. She then waits Jasper up, lets him get ready.And they both quickly head off and they are both gone out of the house. Lizzy waits ten minutes before phoning Violet.

Violet: Hello how may I help you. Lizzy: Luke, a Violet, I'm gonna get straight to the point here. I love you but my parents don't want us. So I was wondering next saturday, as I need your love.So badly and I want to have it, maybe we could hang out secretly. Violet: Alright. I will meet you on Saturday. But that's next week, as it's a Sunday now. Also, we have school tomorrow so we can talk out without being overheard.But I guess what it is, what it is now.So I will talk to you later. Lizzy: I will talk to you later.I still love you lizzy, and I wish I was still with you( we both hang up)

(Both parents end up coming back 10 minutes later. So they were out for 20 minutes. And they find Lizzy asleep as she has fallen asleep buying for them to return. But in her rise, it felt like an eternity waiting, and they wake her up)Lizzy:( i groggily woke up from my parents waking me up) huh what's going on.. Mum is that you..( i rub my eyes and it is mum) i am so glad you re back.Can I have the cough medicine?Please.So I can get better quicker ( they hang me a little cough.Sweet, which also helps with bad throats and I tend to suck on these things, as I know, it will keep me quiet)

Angel: I will get a couple of books for you to read as I know. Just how much reading do you love to do? Just like me. You're a smart bookworm, and I love it.( she picks two books for lizzy, as it's the best thing to have) oh, and if you get even more bored, you can always go on your phone too. As you still need to do something.And if you do decide to get out of bed, you need to put your big jumper on.So you are still warm. Lizzy: Well, I am so grateful for this support. Even though the fact I mill i might just go back to sleep.To be honest, just for a little while( i put the books and my phone onto the floor so they are safe.And so I can safely fall asleep because I know I am tired)

( The parents go out of the room after nodding, and they make soup for Lizzy at lunchtime. As they know, soup is the best thing for a person. When they are ill, but they wait for a couple of hours as they re going to do it at ten o'clock in the morning, but they did the suit.When it was twelve in the afternoon instead)Angel: Hey li… it's time to wake up now because it's lunchtime and you need to eat something sweetheart, please wake up darling( lizzy does slowly wake up even though she doesn't want to wake up just yet) Lizzy: Do I have to be awake? Just jazz I'm? So comfy and at peace, but if I have to then, yes, I( i get up and put my big jumper on.So my body temperature is a good temperature)

Angel: Let's go into the room shall we( i guide her to the room and make sure she sits down and she's comfortable) how are you at the minute? As if you get any worse, you will have to tell us. And we will call the gp.So we can get an appointment so they can check you out ok. Lizzy: If I'm going to be honest, I still feel rough. And not good, but I'll be ok. I know I will be ok. I know well nonetheless.I will tell you if I get any worse as I don't like being ill one bit.

Jasper: You were such a brave soldier, you know that right? I love you so much my little… i know this is completely random and off topic.But what you want for your birthday as we don't know what you would like(Angel gives lizzy her soup)Lizzy: Thank you. Dad, in answer to your question, I would like some reading books as I would like to read books of my own from my bedroom like dark romance. Novels and I would also like some journals to write in please, as I feel like I would benefit from it. This is completely up to you as I really don't mind in the slightest bit. I have a home and I have you too. So I'm very happy with that because it is what I need.

Angel: While that's a very sentimental thing to say, and I m very too. I have never been more proud of you than…. What do you say about it, Jasper?Are you proud of Lizzy or not? Jasper: Well, I am very proud of Lizzy, and will forever be as Lizzy… well she is one of a kind. Nobody could ever replace her as my daughter. Lizzy: That is so kind of you, dad and I am forever grateful for that( I continue on eating my food and eventually I do finish, but it takes way more time than I expected.Because I'm eating slower as I am ill) so what can we do? Even though I want to do something, please.

Angel: Fine. But how about a magical movie as it's so fun?And I know you love to watch movies.Don't you lizzy.. I also have an idea, maybe just book and get two tubs of popcorn, 14 me and him.And another just for you, as you deserve it. Lizzy: Yes, that would be perfect to do.Please can you do that dad( i give him q eyes so he can't resist. Doing it even though he doesn't have a lot of money well, he does have a little bit of money, but not too much)Jasper: Ok, ok?Okay, I will get some popcorn.So we can finally have the movie with some tasty treats( i go out into the car and go to the shop to get some treats just for us.Because I think we do actually deserve the treats.But for some reason I don't feel as though I deserve the treats.Just them)

( Lizzy and angel, wait for him to come back from the shop.But it feels like he's taking his time with the food, but eventually he finally gets back from the shops)

Lizzy: Finally you're back… god you took your sweet last time( I chuckled now when I can get away with literal murder.If I wanted to) don't worry it's okay i'm only joking.( either happilyTake the popcorn off him and settled down for the movie.Because that's what we're supposed to be doing) Angel: Right? Jasper, let's now get settled ready for this fantastic film. Before Lizzy gets too impatient, as we know, what that could lead up to) Jasper: Yes I totally agree let's start( he taps play on the remote, and we watch the film. And we cannot wait for the phone to start)

( A while later, well, mum and dad fell asleep watching the film, but only Lizzie remains awake and she stays quiet so they can have a good sleep/rest. Even though it's not a night time)Jasper: Hey angel wake up.It's half way through the movie( she does eventually wake up) come on, you have to wake up Angel: Why can't you let me sleep( one of the good bits of the movie happens) actually, thank you so much for waking me up.The good bit is about to happen… oh my god… yeeayy.( the bit of the movie that she likes is because of the fact that her favourite character comes on the screen and she blushes like crazy) i love so much. He's my favourite character, but you're my favourite love( i kiss jasper on the forehead)

Jasper:aww that's the cutest thing ever. I love you.So much and I know you love me too. Angel: Two damn right, I love you and I want the world to know how much I love you. We're good and bad through heaven and hell. Lizzy: Okay, that's great in all that you're being lovely dovey, but shush, please.

(Eventually time flew by and we all finished the movie. But we did have to have a movement break, because we were all getting so restless)Lizzy: Well, I think that was good and an entertaining movie.. oh my, it's 4 PM already. I guess we better get something sorted for dinner. Angel: I will go and get something out. So we can have it for tea. That'll do it soon because I was thinking about pinecakes or maybe a good homemade pizza as we can't eat bad food all the time. Well one i'm talking about unhealthy food, but nonetheless, we still have to eat somethingLizzy: Mum, am I fat..( i ask as my voice breaks, and something mum doesn't expect me to say as I don't look her in the eyes)Angel: My dear sweetheart( i crouched down to her level) perfect. Just the way you are, nobody could ever replace you. As our daughter and you don't need to change yourself for anybody) Jasper: Is anybody a bully?You let us know as soon as possible that you deserve to be treated with love and kindness. You don't deserve to be respected.You are our little sweet sunshine.

Lizzy: You- you really mean it. This is why you're the best parents in the whole world. I'm so grateful how on earth on this amazing planet can I ever repay you for being my parents.I'm bringing me into this amazing home.Angel: Well, i'm so glad you like it.And you deserve all of this.No if no buts no nothing like that. YOU ARE ENOUGH FOR US. We will keep telling you this.If we ever need to. Jasper: Exactly what she said( he is half switched off as he's so tired) But to be honest, Lizzy, all you need to do is tell us if you feel like your mental health is ever getting bad. Then, you can always talk to us.Because we don't want to have a dead daughter.Lizzy: Wow, this has opened my eyes so much. I will be grateful for this.

Angel: Well I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit hungry, so I'm going to start making tea as I'm quite happy and doing so. Today's dinner is going to be pete and it'll take one hour to do so.You too, can do whatever you're going to do.I don't want to be interrupted. Lizzy: Thank you so much, mum.I really appreciate the heads up.( i start to read a book whilst my dad is watching tv) (Quite a while goes by and I fall asleep from reading, and I slowly dream about having a picnic. But the person who i'm having a picnic with has no face and am.So scared I wake up gasping for air like something had left me scared)

Jasper: Oh, dear.Are you alright?My baby girl… you seem so scared of what happened( he waits quietly for me to slowly open up about my dream)Lizzy: A hide dream but(an alarm goes off) tea's done dad.. But I'll be okay dad, I'm probably just tired and to be honest. After tea, I'm going to go straight to bed because I am quite tired

( Whilst dinner is being served.He just nods an agreement)Lizzy: Mum.This homemade pizza looks so delicious.And once i've done, i'm going to go to bed.If that's okay as I just want my bed to be honest. Angel: It's absolutely okay. I'm happy with that. You do need your sleep though, as it's very important. Oh please share the food.

Lizzy: Oh mum you know I do that anyway, because it's very important that we share the food around ( I offered the pizza around and they have taken some of it.. After that lizzie gobbles down her food and she waits five minutes before putting her plate in the kitchen) thank you for that.I'm now going to have my shower.So I can go to bed.( i get into the bathroom, turn the shower on and secretly puke all of my food up because I feel fat even though i'm not and then I slowly have my shower)( Walsh, shears in the shower, angel and jasper, have a secret conversation about her because they are worried about her)

Angel: I'm worried about her to be honest as I feel like something is off like she's hiding it, but I can't pinpoint her problem.And I just want her to be honest with us. Jasper: Sweet hot I think you're overreacting. Maybe for all we know she could just be processing her emotions.So don't sweat it please. I don't want you to worry your pretty little face off. Angel: You do have a fair point about that. I'll try not to overthink too much even though it can be a little bit challenging at times( A short while after Lizzy finished with the shower and gets dry.Announcing comes out and paint fluffy p j's as she loves them)

Lizzy: Well I'm going to go to my room to chill out and maybe even fall asleep as I fill in the mood to go to sleep and I guess it's a good night for me then.Angel: Night, my little pumpkin.We loved you and have a good night's sleep( i kiss her on the forehead as I eat my last slice of pizza)Jasper: I also wish you a very good night's rest.What you're supposed to have( i kiss her cheek like I normally do.Because kissing her anywhere else feels wrong.And I don't want that to happen)( Slowly go out to my bedroom. I turn on the lights off and crawl into my bed. And I slowly and quietly cry myself to sleep as I hate myself. So badly, and I just want to die so badly too. I don't want to kill myself as I've got to keep going even when it's hard and I know I've got to keep going. So I push myself even though I don't want to) ( Finally, lay over on when Lizzy has finally flown asleep, angel and jasper.Decide to go bed and they fall asleep happily and peacefully)
