Unknown (Diane Sherman X Reader)

Chapter 4: Affection

After two weeks, Diane and I become friends. When I'm done with my work, We eat dinner at her house. Sometimes I buy food so she won't be tired cooking when I visited her. Her work is planting tomatoes and other vegetables which is a very productive thing I've seen. She's a stable woman I've known in this place. Knowing she's living alone in a house that is far away from crowds and neighbors. There's a time I can't visit her because of my sudden headache and fever. Luckily, the pharmacy is close to the hotel so I can get medicine anytime I want. Now, I always keep two of them in case I feel weird when I'm working.

However, it's getting worst this time that I can't work anymore. I excused Mrs. Blue and she understood it. She said I can continue my work even it took days for me to rest. I feel relieved for a second, thinking I can come back to the book store and work again. I counted days of being stuck at the hotel and I'm losing my savings because of this sickness I felt for 5 days.

Every time I eat, I vomit. My stomach didn't like it, my head didn't want it. It doesn't make sense. I can't go out and buy medicine in this state I had. I don't want to go to the hospital for just this sickness I've had. My nausea attacking again. I walked quickly to the bathroom as fast as I can even every part of my body are shaky. I throw up again because I didn't eat my lunch. What's the difference, right? Even I eat or not, my body will reject it.

When does this thing stop?

I heard a loud knock at the door. I'm not sure if I ordered food earlier but I think I was. I washed my mouth and wiped it before I can open the door.

"I'm sorry for keeping you wait there. Here's the c-" my eyes widen after seeing Diane in front of me. She looked worried and her eyes. Her eyes redden. Is she crying?

"Why you didn't respond to my calls?!? I was worried sick, (Y/N)! If I didn't ask Mrs. Blue about what happened to you this week, you might be near to death" she opened wide the door and came inside. Diane's eyes scanned the room. It was incidental that the mess is just my dirty clothes on the basket.

This is embarrassing.

"I'm taking you right now. You need rest and warm food this week" After she spoke, my vision getting blurred. My eyes closing. All I remembered was I felt my body drop on Diane.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, I come back there later" I grunted, sensing my ache in my head. I must be laying for hours on the bed. I force my eyelids to open. Desperate to know what happened while I passed out. My vision is blurred yet I am completely aware that I'm not in my room. It was the bedroom of someone. It looked familiar. Even my head was hurt, I hastily sat on the bed. Completely panicking about where I am staying.

Where am I? Am I stuck in the hospital?

My worries suddenly stop when I saw Diane's figure on the door. She's talking with someone on the phone. I noticed the table next to me. There's a towel and food, the fold of near on the bedsheet, and a chair. It's seemed she's waited for me to wake up. How long am I sleeping?

"Oh thank goodness. You're finally awake, sweetie" Diane walks towards me then sat on the bed. She looked tired of taking care of me. Her eyes didn't look redden yet looked she cried as I saw in my room before I passed out.

God, I made her worried.

"How long am I sleeping here?" I asked. She didn't respond instead, she got my phone on the bedside table and place it down on the blankets.

"3 hours" Diane responds while looking at her watch. My head still hurts but it's not bad like earlier. I should realize this before it happened. My mind went alarmed again when I remembered my room. The hotel. My things.
