I woke up to my belly hurting bad. I sat up on my headboard and pulled my legs to my chest hugging it tight
I whimpered from pain and then slowly got out of bed going into Adriel's room. I opened the door and saw him putting joggers on "Adriel" I whispered
He turned around and looked at me worried "What's wrong?" he asked coming up to me, kneeling down on my level trying to figure out what was wrong
"My tummy hurts" I whispered. He pulled me into his chest "Do you feel sick?" he asked me
I nodded as I pulled away "It hurts very bad" I whispered as tears started building up in my eyes. He sighed and picked me up placing me on his bed "Wait here" he told me and left the room
I started sobbing from the pain as tears ran down my cheeks "It hurts" I whimpered to myself.
It hurt so bad
Adriel walked into the room with a bottle of medicine in his hands. he poured some onto a spoon, fed it to me and sat beside me pulling me into his lap
He started rubbing my back "Sh, you're going to be fine" he whispered into my ear "It hurts a lot" I sniffled

Luella was still crying in her brother's lap from the pain in her belly. Adriel couldn't figure out what was wrong unless she had the bug
Luella hung onto her brother tightly not letting go. Her brother was her home and safety.
She let out a whimper and rubbed her eyes with her fisted hands "It still hurts" she mumbled into her brother's chest. Adriel continued rubbing her back up and down "It'll be over soon love, I promise," he told her
He let out a sigh
He hadn't slept all night as he had just gotten back from the hospital with Ana and Elijah who had the flu now his baby sister probably had the bug
