Cordelia

I woke up feeling sick this morning, I've been feeling really sick since this morning. I feel like I'm going to pass out at any moment. On top of that I overslept, so I'm just deciding whether to put my makeup on at school or here, but I expect them to come get me soon.

"Princess? Are you okay?" I heard Grayson say.

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm coming." I'm gonna get rid of the makeup. All my makeup didn't come off overnight, even though I can see some bruises on my face, especially a bit of my black eye.

As soon as I open the door, Grayson gives me a sad look. "You're pale, are you sure you're okay?" He put his hand on my forehead, I don't have a temperature though, I'm sure.

"I feel sick."

"Come on, let's tell Dad you're not going to school and you might as well eat breakfast." He took my hand and we went to breakfast together.

I'm sure if I ate something, I'd throw it up.

"Hey, I still need to go get Kai, so go alone and tell dad you're not feeling well. You don't have to worry, Dad won't do anything to you." He kissed me on the forehead and went to get Kai.

I made my way towards the door, opened the door and went to sit in my usual spot. I noticed that almost everyone was here.

"Dad???" That's the first time I called him dad, but Alexander didn't respond. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Landon looking at me.

"Alexander???" This time he responded, turning to me.

"Yes princess?" He paused for a moment, looking at me. "Are you okay? You're extremely pale." He looked at me concerned.

"I feel sick, Grayson told me to tell you." I looked down. I don't even know what I'm ashamed of.

"It's okay, I'll excuse you at school, Landon and Vincent are home today, so if you need anything, they're here."

"Thank you, I'm going to bed." Other times I'd object, but today I'm so sick I'd rather stay home.

"Do you want something to eat? You should at least eat a little."

"I'm not hungry." I grabbed my head in my hands because my head was spinning. At times I think I'm going to pass out.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" Landon quickly got up and walked over to me.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I flinched so he wouldn't touch me. I don't even know why I did that. But the speed at which I got up made me dizzy and I thought I was going to hit the ground, but someone caught me in their arms.

I honestly don't have the strength to move. I know I'm in Landon's hands.

"Landon, take her to her room and be there with her for a while, I'll be right back." I heard my dad say.

My body is so tired. I'm so tired that I fell asleep or maybe passed out after a while.

LANDONS POV

To be honest, I got up early this morning to see Cordelia again. Aiden and Liam told me they were up early.

That's why I'm sitting here at 7am eating breakfast. Vinnie and I have some mafia issues to deal with today, but we can work that out at home.

"Gray, will you please go see Cordelia and Kai? They should be here by now, but they're not." Roman told Gray.

"I'll go check on them." Gray got up and left.
