Halstead Sister One Shots

That Time Of The Month

AN! Sorry for both this super short chapter and lack of instalments lately! I'm right in the middle of rehearsals for a show at the minute and when I'm not doing that I'm either exhausted or working! I will update as often as I can! 

Gracies POV (14 Years Old)

I woke up with an excruciating pain in my stomach and unfortunately it was a pain I not only knew all to well, but was also expecting. With a pained groan I made my way to the bathroom to sort myself out. Being a woman sucks. Urgh. And I have school. I wonder if I can stay home? Worth a try. I walked out of the bathroom and in to the kitchen where both of my brothers where sat at the table dressed and ready for work,

"Morning" they greeted but I replied with a uncaring grumble,

"Can I please stay home today?" I asked pleadingly and both of my brothers shared a look,

"Why, what's the matter?" Will asked concerned,

"Are you sick?" Jay asked and I shrugged slightly,

"Not in the conventional way" I admitted Jay raised an amused eyebrow at my statement,

"Then you can go to school" he stated and I silently fumed whilst Will shook his head,

"Jay" he scolded "what do you mean your not conventionally sick Gracie?" He asked confused,

"I have stomach ache" I said hoping that he would get what I'm saying but he sighed,

"You're gonna have to be a little more specific than that sweetie, you can't stay home just because you have stomach ache" he told me and I rolled my eyes,

"Fine" I snapped "you want me to be specific? Well I have pains going through my stomach that feels like I'm being stabbed by a thousand tiny carving knives because god made me a girl and apparently that means that I have to live through hell once a month and loose my own body weight in blood whilst walking around with a freaking watermelon in my uterus" I ranted "is that specific enough for you? Jesus you're meant to be a doctor" I stated to my silent brothers,

"Ok Gracie just calm down" Jay insisted and my eyes shot to him,

"Calm down?" I asked annoyed "I am calm" I shouted.

"You can't stay home because you're having your period Gracie" Jay told me and I huffed annoyed,

"Says who?" I challenged,

"Says me" Jay added,

"Yeah, well fuck you because I'm not going" I said with angry tears flowing down my cheeks as I stormed back off to my room and slamming the door shut behind me before throwing myself on to my bed and pulling my duvet over my head. I knew I had just majorly screwed up but at this point I was way beyond caring. I heard my door fly open and someone pull the duvet from on top of me,

"Sit up" Jay demanded and I did so with a firm frown and tears falling from my eyes "I'm sorry that you're not feeling great but that under no circumstances gives you the excuse to talk to me like that Gracelyn, do you understand me?" He lectured,

"Fine" I started and he gave me a pointed look that sent shivers down my spine "sorry" I mumbled and he turned to leave my room,

"Get ready for school Gracelyn" he instructed. I fell back on to my bed with tears falling thick and fast. I was to busy sobbing to notice that Will had lightly knocked on my door and walked over to my bed,

"Shift over" he instructed gently as he sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder allowing my to cry in to his chest "you don't have to go to school" he assured and I looked up at him with teary eyes,
