seven souls seven sins - Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Natasha's pov:
I go to my room and take a brisk, cold shower. I put on another one of Adrien's hoodies and a pair of Lululemon shorts. Cute! I slide on my Uggs and complete the homework I had for history. "Nat! Oh Naaattt!" I hear Chase shout from the bottom of the stairs. In a rush, I hurriedly stand up to meet him but I feel dizzy.
Not normal dizzy, it's like blood-iron deficiency dizzy.
I check my apple watch which states that my level is at 25mcg when it's supposed to be at 60. Shit. I remembered all my daily pills today, what could be the issue? I think I'm just hallucinating or something and shrug it off. I walk downstairs to meet Chase.
"Hey Chase!" I call out to him.
"Yo Tash! I saw the video. You absolutely kicked ass!" He exclaims with pride. I smile at his enthusiasm. My head pounds harder. "Thank you." I add. "Wanna come train with me?" He asks with a slight smirk. "It would be my pleasure." I say whilst walking towards the gym with him.
"You did a good number on her." He compliments. "Your drop kick could be improved though." He confesses with a little smile in his words. "How so?" I ask playfully while circling him. "I'll show you." He smiles at me.

Chase and I trained for the next two hours until 15:15 then he had to go collect the twins from school and bring them to an appointment. Now, I'm sitting on my chair trying to sign some documents for the mafia but my headache is intensifying. I get a text from Flynn. Scratch that. I got multiple texts from Flynn.
Flynn: Hey I heard your name get called on the intercom, is everything g?
Flynn: Hey Princess WRU? It's lunch time!
Flynn: Princess, I'm sitting with Cody, come look for me there!
Flynn: Darling, I'm hoping that ur phone died.
Flynn: Ur scaring me.
Flynn: Txt me when u get this.
Nat: HII! SRRY FOR THE L8 REPLY
Flynn: NAT? WHAT HAPPENED?
Flynn: U GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK.
Nat: Vincent was at the STUPID Principal's office when I got there! It's ok tho bc he BLACKMAILED THE PRINCIPAL!!
Flynn: WHAT?? THATS CRAZY!
Nat: YEA IK!! HE ADMITTED TO BEING THE DON TOO.
Flynn: WOAH WOAH WHAT? THATS AMAZING NAT!
Nat: IK EEEK!!
Nat: Ugh! I think I have a migraine.
Flynn: Did u take Ibuprofen yet Princess?
Nat: Nah, I'll go take it now TY!
Flynn: No problem, get better soon Princess.
Nat: Will do :D
Nat: See ya Flynn!
Flynn: See you tmrw ;)
I place my phone on my desk and I make my way downstairs, specifically towards the kitchen. I know from the tour, that the medicine cabinet is right above the fridge. Why doesn't this house cater for shorter girls? I climb up on the counter and lean over until I reach the cabinet handle.
It's a bit high up here, now that I think about it.
I reach in and grab the first few things that I can get my hands on. I hop off the counter and examine my findings. There's different tablets, and painkillers, and IBUPROFEN! YES! I get excited when I find it and take two tablets out of the box. I put the tablets on the counter whilst I put the other boxes back.
Slow and steady.
As I'm putting them back, I get hit with a painful migraine. I stumble on the counter for a few moments before regaining my footing. I hop off the now dangerous counter and pour a cup of water for myself. I pop the two tablets into my mouth and wash them down with my cold water.
Refreshing.
I know that it takes a while to kick in so I find myself back to my bed. My comfortable cosy bed. I shouldn't have worked so hard with Chase in the gym earlier but I really wanted to work on my drop kick. And I got it! Chase helped me perfect my kick for next time.
If there even is going to be a next time.

I yawn and stretch as I wake up from my nap. I think I feel better. I lean over to grab my phone but it isn't there. I rub my eyes again only to realise that my phone is all the way over on my desk. I get up abruptly only to be met with a horrible feeling in my head. My vision goes black for a second before I can see again.
I swear the Ibuprofen is broken.
I groan in frustration. I hate this stupid migraine. I walk over towards my phone which reads 19:10. Huh? I slept for 3 hours? 3 HOURS? I'm not a big napper, I've never been one. The most that I've napped for was about 2 hours but I guess this sets the record straight.
The twins must be home already.
I realise that dinner is in 20 minutes. I'm actually kinda hungry too. It's so weird, I feel tired even though I just had a big nap. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way too. Hmm. A quick lie down won't hurt anybody. Right? It's only a mere twenty minutes. I'm sure I'll wake up in a few minutes too.
I just want a little shut eye for a minute or two.
times passes
I yawn and stretch and reach for my phone. Wait. Why is there sunshine leaking through the window? Wait a damn minute. What time is it? I tap my phone screen for it to read 07:30. No freaking way! I rub my eyes again in denial but the numbers stay the same. HALF PAST SEVEN IN THE MORNING?
I SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT? AND NOBODY CHOSE TO WAKE ME UP?
I groan in frustration and get up in a hurry not wanting to be late. Blackness covers my vision for a few seconds before going back to normal. Looks like my iron is still low and my headache stuck around from yesterday. I realise that I'm gonna be late if I don't pick up the pace.
I need to give Nico his hoodie back today, it's still in my bag with that big blood stain too.
Shit! I curse myself. I was meant to wash it yesterday but I dozed off. I blame everything on this stupid migraine. I do my usual morning routine in a rapid pace. Shower, skincare, clothes and bag on my back. I rush downstairs at 07:45. I'm not usually that hungry in the mornings but I want to greet my brothers.
Instead of going straight to Xander's G-Wagon, I find myself in the breakfast bar.
I walk in to find Adrien behind the stove cooking whilst Vincent, Leo and Chase stand around the breakfast bar. The twins are sitting on bar stools around the counter. I join them. My migraine is pulsing throughout my skull. I take my hand and rub the spot hoping that it will ease the pain away.
Spoiler alert, it doesn't.
"Looks like Sleeping Beauty has risen from her slumber." Leo jokes. I try to laugh at his humour but my mouth doesn't move. Instead it asks a question "Why did none if you wake me up yesterday?" They look at each other and Chase speaks up after what feels like a decade of eternal silence. "We wanted to, the twins specifically, but we thought that you were tired so we let you be."
I nod to his answer not wanting to intrigue further.
Xavier who was sitting on a stool beside me notices my grumpy mood. "Is everything alright Nat? Especially after yesterday's events." He asks concerned. "Yea it's just a headache." I respond dryly. I wasn't in the mood for chit chat today. My headache was getting worse by the second at this rate.
It hurts like hell, it feels like a constant ringing in the back of my mind.
Adrien lays out dishes packed with eggs, bacon and sausages. "Bonne Appetite!" He mentions whilst grabbing utensils for us all. He passes the cutlery around and plates too. Everyone starts to dig in whilst I stare at my plate blankly. "I'm not that hungry in the mornings." I say whilst I shove my plate closer towards Chase.
Xavier notices my action and his now full attention is focused on me.
"Nat?" He asks with his tone imbedded with worry. "Yea?" I question him back. I wonder what he's asking about. "I didn't see food on your lunch table and you ate one sushi roll on Monday, no breakfast, no lunch or dinner yesterday, and now no breakfast?" He confronts me.
I'm shocked. Even I didn't realise that I didn't eat anything.
"It's fine. I'm really not that hungry." I explain to him as I get up off the stool. My vision goes black for a mere moment and I blink a few times to see better. I pick up my backpack from the floor and swing it over one shoulder. I walk towards the fridge, going to find my water bottle that I left in there but I feel a wave of dizziness wash over me.
It was almost as if Vincent notices this and grips my arm to steady me.
"You alright Princess?" He asked concerned for me, his eyebrows furrowed deeper. "Just fine!" I assure him as I reach into the fridge for my water bottle. I open my bag and shove it in. I zip my bag back up and say my goodbyes. I was halfway out the breakfast bar and mid sentence when my head feels as if it has just been thrown all over the place.
"See you later Adr-." I start as black tunnels my vision.
I feel my legs getting weaker and my heart rate increasing. My body collapses. The last thing that I remember is my stupid water bottle before I black out.
Vincent's pov:
I got a worried when I had to lend Nat a hand to steady herself when reaching for her water bottle. She didn't act like her usual chirpy self today. It was probably the fight aftermath from yesterday. Although, she does look a bit pale. "See you later Princess." I say goodbye to her as I finish up my breakfast and toss the plate into the sink.
My other brothers do this too.
I watch as Nat exits the room, or so I thought. She makes her way towards the hallway and is saying her goodbyes too. "See you later Adr-."She starts but doesn't finish. I watch her body fall uncontrollably on the floor. Without needing another second I rush by her side.
What the actual fuck. WHAT THE FUCK.
"Nat! Nat! Nat! Nat!" I plead out loud hopefully trying to get her conscious. By the time I'm on the floor with her, the rest of my brothers crowd her unconscious body. They, including me are all in a mess. My words are getting harsher and I can feel beads of sweat dripping down my forehead.
WHY ISN'T SHE FUCKING WAKING UP.
Adrien rubs my back to calm me down even though I know that he's overwhelmed too. All of us are trying to get Nat to wake up. Why did she faint? "Fuck Princess." I sigh in frustration. I can sense waterworks forming their way in my eyes. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. She's the only person that can make me feel better.
I can't lose her. I CAN'T.
I pant and pant but she isn't regaining consciousness. Every single one of us are in pain just by looking at her like this, even Xander. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Xavier walking up and down muttering to himself "It's all my fault.It's all my fault.It's all my fault." I dismiss his attitude, he's probably just stressed like all of us.
I feel something watery flow down my cheek.
A single tear drops from my eye onto her cheek. It was almost as if that was a magic cure, because her eyes flutter open. I have never been more happy to see her gorgeous cobalt blue eyes. "Princess?" I ask to see if she was concussed or not. She's startled so she scurries back away from all of us.
She starts to cough and her hands rush to her head. My princess.
