CHAPTER 10
As I’m getting ready for dinner later that night, my stomach begins to ache. I’ve been having a few sharp pains all day but it seems to be getting a whole lot worse. I wonder if I ate something off? I groan as a sharp pain stabs through me as I’m slipping into the shower. The warm water doesn’t do much to ease the pain and when I get out, I’m crouching over. Before I can do anything more, I’m crawling towards the toilet where I proceed to lose the contents of my stomach.
That’s the pain in the ass thing about stomach bugs, they just creep up on you without warning. Thank god they usually only last twenty four hours. I manage to grip my panties and tank top off the hanger and pull them on. I don’t really want to go far, the cramping in my stomach has not eased. My skin is clammy and I’m trembling. Jesus, I don’t know if this is a stomach bug or if it’s food poisoning. I go over everything I ate today; croissant for breakfast, salmon salad for lunch, nothing in the afternoon. Was the salmon off? I doubt it.
When a sharp jolt has me lifting to my knees and throwing up in the toilet again, I know I’m going to spend a long, awful night beside this toilet. Tears stream down my cheeks as I dry retch until my throat and stomach burn. With aching arms, I flush the toilet but don’t move. I hear my door crack open but I don’t have the energy to move. “Sierra, are you sick?” It’s Marcus’ voice and shame shoots through me thinking about him being in here when I’m like this.
I hear more movement, then see him crouch beside me. He swipes my damp hair from my face. I force myself to look over at him, expecting to see disgust. I know how this room must smell, I know how I must look, but all I see in Marcus’ eyes is sympathy and worry.
“Sorry,” I croak. “I was coming to dinner…”
He stands and grips a face washer, soaking it in water before leaning down to swipe it across my face.
“You’re sick.”
I nod. “It just sort of came on.”
“A few people have had a stomach bug in the last week, I guess you got unlucky. Can you move?”
“You really don’t have to be here, I…”
Marcus lifts me then, cutting off my little speech. He carries me out to the bedroom and I groan as my stomach turns. He lays me gently down on the bed and rushes off to get a glass of water. He’s taking care of me. He’s…looking after me. I sip the water and it burns as it travels down my raw throat. I groan and clutch my stomach. Marcus sits beside me on the bed, then he pulls out his phone.
“Mary, bring me one of those heat bags, a clean bucket and a jug of water. Maybe some dry crackers too.
