Natalia:
We walk to a nearby cafe, Tes’s Tea, and take a seat. I wasn’t feeling very well, but I wanted to persevere, for him. I order a chai tea, while trying to keep everything from spinning while I listen to him talk. Then, for a few seconds everything was ringing. I try not to show that I don’t feel well, so he’s not concerned. But, he gets concerned anyway; “Is everything okay?” everything finally comes into focus as Jordan says this. It takes me a moment to process what he says and respond. I can’t speak very loudly, I tried and barely any noise comes out. I just nod, and drink my tea. He begins talking again; I just drink my tea quietly and listen. We finish at the cafe, and he leaves a £5 note on the table.
“Thanks so much. I’d like to be alone for a bit, alright?” I try to smile, as I say this.
He reluctantly goes without me, letting me know I can contact him if I need to; I nod and we walk in opposite directions. I begin to feel even more sick, and lightheaded. As I move slower, I begin losing sense of what is going on. As I walk, I hear something off in the distance; then everything goes black.
