and so the war starts again (Emmet's side)

And so the war starts again
After getting out of the measuring cup I went over to the fridge and opened the door seeing what flavours where residing in there before deciding the best option would be to ask Mi what she liked the best.


“What do you like Mi? Strawberry, chocolate, Asparagus? I turned my nose up at the last one. I couldn’t bereave they actually made an Asparagus one let alone any one of the nurses would of decided to have ordered it.


Mi didn’t answer my question instead she just gave me a shrug and looked confused, she still didn’t have a clue what she was in for yet and I still hadn’t thought of a way to tell her that wouldn’t freak her out.


“I heard that the chocolate is the best.” I said grabbing a bottle of it out of the fridge and going about measuring it out in the containers I had got out before when I got the right amount I poured the gritty brown liquid into the into two plastic cups before taking them over to the pull out table by the doctors bench, that was when the realisation registered upon her face and it hit her hard. I could see the colour draining out of her and wondered if it would get as far as actually drinking the stuff before she was sick again.


“Your going to have to drink that for me.” I said as gently as I could confirming what she all ready new.


What is it?” Mi asked staring at the mixture in the cups like it might grow legs get out and slap her in the face.

“It’s called Ensure. It’s a calorie boosting drink. Because your on the build up menu what ever you don’t eat calorie wise has to be made up with this.” I said softly. This of course was when Mi’s internal war started again and I as usual was powerless to help.
