Chapter Nine - Mariah

The first thing I feel when I wake up is a pounding headache. Almost like an entire band of trolls has started playing behind my left eye.

I try to force myself to open my eyes. The second thing I feel is an instant wave of nausea. I snap my eyes immediately closed and attempt breathing through my nose.

I don’t want to throw up. I hate throwing up. Throwing up is a horrible, horrible fate that I am positive is the only true way to win a war. Make the enemy throw up. War would instantaneously go away. The world would be thrown into peace because no one wants to throw up so violently that they die. Or… almost die.

After taking several deep breaths, I make an attempt to move. Matt isn’t in the bed so I know it’s after seven in the morning. And despite everything that happened yesterday, I need to know what happened to my dad. I slowly open my eyes and look around for my phone. I know Matt put it on the nightstand near his bed. I saw him do it, but it isn’t there.

I make a slow and cautious attempt to stand. Panic attacks always exhaust me, but the really bad ones... The really bad ones make me feel like it would be better for me to jump off a roof than go through the day. The nausea. The migraine. The chest pain. The overwhelming need to go to sleep for the entire day. It’s all so much.

After deciding I’m not going to fall on my ass if I walk, I take a few cautious steps to the door. I slowly open it and make my way to the living room.

“Mariah!” Marie says.

I wince and my hand inevitably goes straight to my head as Marie and Brit crash into me, enveloping me in a huge hug. Liam grins from his stack of Legos on the floor.

“You’re finally awake!” Brit says.

I fight the nausea with a deep breath and force myself to hug them back. “Hey, sweeties. How was your sleep? Good dreams?”

They drag me to the couch and push me to sit down. The world flips upside down, and I close my eyes as someone crawls into my lap.

“I had a dream that I was riding a unicorn. A pink one with sparkles,” Marie says.

“Rainbow sparkles?” I ask.

I open my eyes as Marie giggles and starts playing with my hair.

“Girls? I don’t think Mariah’s feeling so well. Let’s be a little quieter for her, okay?”

I look up to see a beautiful woman sitting down next to me as the girls climb off of me. She’s gorgeous. She has the most beautiful green eyes and dark blonde hair. She looks near the same age as Matt and I vaguely recognize her from somewhere, but I’m not sure where.

The kids sit down on the floor in front of me and start to color. I fight another wave of nausea and stabbing pain in my head.
