Expect the Unexpected

-Maya POV-
I wake up and look at my alarm clock. It's reads 7:22 a.m; 8 minutes before the alarm is gonna go off, but at least this way there is less of a chance of waking Carina up. I turn the alarm completely off and head into the kitchen.

I've been getting up even earlier than usual for the past few days to try and help out Carina. She's been eating less, drinking less, sleeping less, and just been acting different all around.

Although I'm not much of a chef, I am determined to make her feel better, so I start to make some scrambled eggs. As I'm plating them, I notice Carina waking up through my peripheral vision.

I quickly pick up the tray with the orange juice and scrambled eggs, and start to head over to our bedroom. Carina is sitting on the edge of the bed, hunching over, eyes closed, trying to take deep breaths.

I slowly step into the room, trying not to add to Carinas obvious discomfort. I very gently ask, "Carina...... how are you feeling?" I see her try to open her mouth but then immediately close it and swallow.

"Here" I say handing her the tray "eat this". She leans over and throws up. I put the tray down next to her and grab something to clean up with. I hate seeing her like this, feeling horrible, when I don't know what to do.

"I put some food next to you. Try to eat some..... you'll feel better" I say, not sure if it's true, but hoping that it is. "I can't" she responds. At this point, I am finished cleaning so I put away my supplies and walk over to her.

"Please just try.... for me" I say, trying my hardest to convince her. "I can't" she says again.

"Why not?"

"I can't, because I can't s-..... never mind, just go to work bella."

I am starting to get more worried about her. Why did she stop? What isn't she telling me? Why does she even need to hide it?

"You're going to rest today, right?"

"Yes I will, now go!"

"Ok, and you'll take the medicine I left on the counter"

"Maya! Go to work, I'm fine!!!"

"Ok......I love you"

"I love you too"

I lean in to kiss her before heading off to work, but for some reason she jumps back. Almost as if she got jump scared. But why?

Maya has just closed the front door. Well, at least I think she did. I don't actually know because I can barely see. Sure, I can see a blur of colors, but I can't make out any shapes. I couldn't even make out Maya's beautiful face.

I have to pretend like everything is fine in front of her because I haven't told her the truth yet. I should have, but I haven't.

She's thinks I've only been feeling like this for a few days, when really it's been a couple weeks.

I reach for the tray Maya left me but instead of picking it up, I knock it down to the floor. Ughhh!!!
At least, this didn't happen in front of her. I would clean it up, but with my current vision I'd probably end up cutting myself on the glass.
