She’d been to the Maldette’s countless times, but still insisted on ringing the doorbell instead of just entering like a normal friend. The girl ran her right hand through her hair to remove it from her face as she waiting for Nav to answer the door. She lowered her head to watch a snail creep it’s way across the porch, seemingly moving faster than Naveen was. She heard his footsteps down the huge staircase and lifted her gaze as he swung the door wide open. “What took you so long?” she giggled, entering gracefully. “It’s not like your house is that big...”

Lottie woke up with a jolt as a flash of pain nearly doubled her over in the bed. Pulling her knees to her chest, she tried to focus on her breathing, not wanting to disturb the sleeping Nav next to her if nothing was wrong. As she put her hand down on the bed, she felt something wet, almost sticky. Turning on the light, she screamed when she saw that it was red. Looking down she realized that she had bled all over the bed. Her screaming must have woke Nav up as her stomach cramped up again in pain. "Nav...something's wrong."
