Periods Suck!
Waking up to wet sheets you knew, you just knew things were going to be bad down there. Tears stung your eyes as you carefully slipped out of the sheets trying not to wake you girlfriends. You knew you would have to. After all the sheets needed changing. But you were sacred they would be mad. Your mother would be if she were still here. Carefully you pulled off your ruined shorts and underwear and stepped into the showed. Watching the blood swirl down the drain. After about fifteen minutes the door opened. Nat came in taking in the sight of your soiled clothes and teary eyes, which hadn’t yet seen her enter. She turned off the water and tilted your chin, so your eyes faced hers. “Sweetheart its ok.”
The tears fell. “We’re not mad my love, I’ve changed the sheets and I’ll soak your clothes for you.”
Nat pulled you in for a hug making you squirm.
“B-but its gross and I’m sorry.”
“Sweetheart it’s not gross, I don’t care where the blood comes from as long as your ok.” Nat smiled kissing your lips gently.
“Come on lets get you dressed my heart.” Wanda smiled holding up a new change of clothes and a pad.
After slipping you into the fluffy Pjs, Nat scooped you up and carried you to the bed. Wanda handed you the remote and you put on Chicago Pd and curled up with the two girls.
The cramps hit about twenty minutes later. Pulling a face and your knees to your chest, you tried not to make a big deal of it. Of course Nat noticed. She ran a hand through your hair making you look at her again.
“Oh sweetheart.” She cooed making Wanda look away from the show.
“Honey do you want some painkillers?”
You nodded shyly and buried your head in Wanda’s chest. A minute later Nat returned with the small packet of pills and a glass of water. After taking them and snuggling back up, you went back to your movie day.
It was about three hours later all of you were asleep when Wanda woke up. She felt her thigh, which you were cuddled up to, grow damp. Looking down she saw a growing red patch. Carefully she woke Nat and the two tried to figure out the best way to inform you. Yet you slept on.
“She’s going to be upset Nat.” Wanda whispered, more concerned for you than her leg.
“Its ok, we need to wake her up and change her again.”
“Yeah.” Wanda sighed in defeat. With a gentle hand she shook you shoulder. Cooing at he small sleepy face you made as you brushed the sleep from your eyes.
“Baby, wake up” Wanda whispered
“you need to get changed my love.” Nat cooed.
Your eyes snapping open, you looked down, feeling the dampness.
“Wands i-im so sorry” you stammered pulling away, tears rolling down your cheeks. Before either of them could react you hopped up and ran into the bathroom, locking the door. The two of them could hear your sobs as you lost touch with reality.
The soft knocking on the door turned to banging as you heard your mother yelling at you.
“Look what you’ve done now you brat.”
Breaths came short and fast as you struggled to breathe. The pain in your abdomen tightening as you felt more blood coat your legs. Your head spun.
Where were Nat and Wanda?
After hearing your breathing shorten, Wanda made the decision, using her powers she undid the lock and the two girls looked into the small room. You sat in the corner shaking and struggling the breathe.
Carefully Wanda approached you, your thoughts loud, she knew what was happening. Carefully she took you hand in hers, drawing circles on your palm.
“Baby, honey look at me.” Your eyes met her green ones, still looking frantic.
“Your not there. Your not there anymore. She’s gone, love. She can’t hurt you anymore.”
“Copy my breathing love.” Nat said squatting by your other side. Wanda showered your with praise and love while you shakily drew a deep breath with Nat’s guidance.
After your breathing settled, Wanda picked you up under the arms and hoisted you onto the counter, where she stripped your soiled clothes for the second time that day. Your cheeks turned dark red as you looked at the puddle of blood you left on the floor. Which Nat had begun to clean. Carefully Wanda pulled your chin so your face was pointed at hers, and not at Nat.
“No. Love, eyes on me. Don’t worry about what Natty doing.” Your eyes were downcast as she tilted your head with her thumb. “Where are those beautiful eyes my sweet girl.” When your eyes met hers she smiled kindly at you.
“Now do you want me to shower with you?” The words had no deeper meaning, she simply offered the comfort.
You shook your head. Making her frown.
“Why not, love?”
“Don’t wanna make you dirty” both girls froze. Nat looked up.
“Oh my heart, your not dirty. And Wanda needs a shower as well now.” Nat cooed.
Your heart rate picked up as you remembered her leg.
“No. No. None of that now.” Wanda shushed, stripped her clothes and pulling you into the shower. Nat went to find more painkillers, not missing the grimace when Wanda had picked you up.
After another shower and change, all three of you were laid on the bed again.
You picked absently-mindedly at the sheets loose threads as Wanda and Nat watched you. Tears pricked your eyes as you felt more blood bleed out. Wanda kissed your knuckles and Nat pulled you in for a hug.
“We love you sweetheart. Now go to sleep.”
Periods sucked, but at least you weren’t alone. You had the two best girlfriends you could ever ask for.
