Ariya

It was one more day, one more day without my meds. I could do it, I could do it.

But I felt.. not so good.

I couldn't sleep, and at exactly 3:45 in the morning I spend about ten minutes puking up my dinner. Then I woke up with a killing headache and gigantic red circles under my eyes.

I looked dead.

It felt like what I used to feel like before I started taking them.

Push through, just push through.

After getting Rylan ready I took a breather on the couch before seeing Rylan waiting for his breakfast. I got him some toast and he whined.

"I thought you said you were gonna make pancakes for us?"

"Just eat it.. please."

"Where's my lunch?"

I mumbled a low curse before throwing together a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"We're not allowed peanuts at school."

"Shit." I cursed.

And trust me, I only curse when I'm angry.

I trashed the bread and just slapped some salami between the two pieces.

"Here." He grabbed the brown bag and shoved it into his bag.

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

I quickly got us into the car and dropped him off at his school.

One day, one day. One more day, Ariya. Push through.

Kameron was waiting with his bag by my parking spot until I pulled in. Grabbing my purse and walking out.

I felt so, bleh today.

"How's my favourite Ariya?" He asked as we walked into the building.

"Fine."

We stepped into the elevator and he faced me.

"You know I still can't believe you had a son this whole time and never told me, but Amara knew!?"

"I'm sorry, could you just please be quiet." My head has been pounding. I cradled my head in my hand and I could feel his gaze burning holes into the side of my head.

"Look at me."

I groaned and stared back at him.

"Jesus, Ariya? Are you alright? Did you sleep last night?"

"No."

"Did you eat breakfast?"

"No."

"Did you take your pills?"

"I'm out."

"You look terrible? Are you gonna be okay?"
