Chapter 5
They got back to Eliza's apartment. Alex could admit, it was very small and run down. But he didn't say anything.
"C'mon, Liza. Sit down"(JOHN U FAT MOTHER *BEEP*) Alex said, leading Eliza to the couch.
"Alex... really I'm fine" Eliza argued, trying to get up.
"No, Eliza, your skin is ice cold still , and your teeth are chattering. I'm going to Starbucks, ok? I'll take Pippa, so you can have quiet. Text me what you want. Sounds good?" Alex said, pushing her back down softly
"Fine, ok. Pippa? Be good!" Eliza reminded her daughter.
"Yes Mommy. Can I get a cake pop?" Pippa asked
"Sure. You have to promise to be good and don't annoy Alex anymore than you probably did. Ok?"
"Okie!" Phillipa replied, started to get ready to go back outside.
Eliza started to get up then.
"Eliza! No, stay down" Alex reminded
"I just need my wallet!" Eliza explained
"No! Eliza, this is my treat. You cant stop me. Put on a movie or TV show or something, and relax" Alex said in a stern voice
"Fine! Bye" Eliza said and grabbed the remote.
"Bye" Alex replied, and walked out the door with Pippa.

Alex came back about 10 minutes later. He put the drinks down on the counter and looked to see Eliza not on the couch.
"Elizaaaaa!" Alex groaned. he looked around the small area, but couldn't find her. Then he noticed the bathroom door was closed.
"Eliza? Are you ok in there?" he asked. He heard a cough and gag
"Hm? Yeah, I'm ok" she replied, muffled by the door.
"Ok... I have your coffee on the counter, and Pippa is playing with her new toy. Call me if you need-" he was cut off my a noise in the bathroom.
"Eliza? Ok, I'm coming in..." Alex said, and opened the door. And there Eliza was, head over the toilet, shaking from emptying out everything she ate that day. Which was nothing.
"Eliza, are you ok?"he asked, going over to hold back her hair and rub circles on her back.
"I'm *cough* fine. My stomach just hurts. I'm not sick, I checked my temperature, so don't worry" she quickly responded
"You don't need to see a doctor?"
"No, Alex. I'm fine"
"ok... lets get you back on the couch" Alex said,, and did just that
"Thank you, Alexander. I guess you really did change!" she responded, leaning her head on Alex's shoulder. Alex's heart melt.
"Your welcome, Eliza"
