Aphrodite (RDJ / Scar Jo)

The Larsons

Third Person’s POV

Belle nervously played with her hands.

Everyone was in the plane, already heading to Tennessee. However, Robert did not seem so good. Again.

And she just could not see him like that, knowing there was not much she could do.

She was alone on her spot, trying to think about anything else. She should really call her mother, talk to her and listen to Theo’s voice for a while.

Maybe it would help.

“Hey.”

Her thoughts were interrupted by Thomas, who sleepily sat next to her “How long ‘til we land?”

“I am not sure” Belle whispered

“Where’s Robert?”

She glanced at him, sadly.

“Oh…” he looked down “again?”

Belle bit her lip “How long will it take?”

“I have no idea” he stood up again “But I might have something”

She frowned as she watched him disappear again. It was only a matter of seconds until he returned, though.

“What are you doing?” Belle quickly asked

“Well, before we took off, I passed by the lab again and asked for a doctor. I asked him about Robert’s situation. Of course I did not mention his name though!” Tom quickly said, picking up a few boxes of medication “He said these can help, but he also said not to give him so often. He also told me about nourishment that could help”

Belle looked at him, stunned “Y-You… did that?”

He smiled “Of course. I want Robert to be just fine”

“Thank you so much, Tom!” she bit her lip “I guess I could give him one of these medications for now?”

“Yes, here” Tom handed her two of them “He said to give him these, only when really necessary”

“I can’t see him like this, Tom”

“I know, Belle” he sadly smiled “Go ahead. Then, we just make sure to follow this. We’ll help him” he showed her a list of things the doctor had told him.

It was such a genius idea.

How did she not remember that?!

It was perfect!

She really hoped it made Robert feel better.

When she knocked at the door, she could already hear his light groans on the inside. “Rob?” she softly asked, getting in.

“B-Belle…” he moaned “No… don’t”

“Shhh” she quickly approached him, not caring about his sweaty face and soaked hair “I got something for you”

“Is there a toast for me? Do not lie… I searched around… d-do not…”

“Shh, Rob, please take this”

She handed him the medication with glass of water.

“I-I need it…” his eyes glanced at her “I need… I…” he breathed

“Hey” she grabbed his face, gulping “Concentrate. Take this” she whispered “Do you trust me?”

He breathed, taking his time before finally doing as commanded. “I do… of course” he mumbled
