Becca

I jump out of bed and race into the bathroom with my hand clutched across my mouth. As soon as I reach the toilet, I grip on to it and let the contents of my stomach spew up in to the water. It hits hard and doesn’t seem to stop coming. It’s hot and fiery, a horrible sickness, that seems to be coming from my nose as well as my mouth.

What the hell is wrong with me? I never get sick. Only when I’ve been drinking and I’m hung over, but it’s been a long time since I touched alcohol so it can’t be that. I actually must be ill.

I puke and puke until I don’t think there is anything left inside of me. It’s horrific, but eventually the heat in my body changes to a shivering cold, and I know that there is nothing left. When that happens, I rise to my feet and I stagger across my bedroom. It’s dark, and it feels too dark while I’m ill, so I need to yank the curtains apart to let the day light in. I’m hoping that will make me feel a little more human.

“Urgh, fuck this day,” I moan, the light actually making me feel worse. “Fuck it, this sucks.”

I clutch on to my stomach, rubbing it, hoping that the illness will go. But it somehow sparks another round of sickness and I need to race back to the bathroom to get all of this out all over again.

“Becca?” I jump. I forgot that Lucas was here until he croaked out my name. “Are you okay?”

I don’t want him to see me like this so I try to reach back to slam the door behind me, but he gets there first. He stands in the door way and looks down at me with nothing but sympathy in his eyes.

“Go away,” I groan. “I look gross. I don’t want you to see me this way.”

“Oh, don’t be silly, Becca. If you aren’t well then I want to be with you, to help you out.”

This is lovely, but frustrating too, I don’t want to have this ruined because he’s seeing me at my worst. He probably thought that seeing me outside in my pajamas was the worst, but this is. This is dreadful.

“But don’t you have work or something to get to? You don’t need to be here.”

“I don’t have to be in work until later on, so I can stay here and help you for a while.”

I can’t argue because I start puking all over again. He gently rubs my back while I’m sick and gets me a glass of water to drink. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to keep anything down for a long while.

“Do I have class today?” I croak in between the sickness. “What day is it?”

“You said last night that you have nothing on in the morning, so you should be fine.”

That fills me with relief. I don’t want to start going in to classes then miss the next one.
