Broken Realities

Migraine

The next day Zoe woke up with major pain flashing through her head, the stabbing and throbbing pain felt like someone was trying to rip her head open. Groaning she rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed to open the side table drawer to get some of her migraine medicine. She left her room and went to the kitchen to grab a banana and a powerade to help the medicine down.

"Hey Zoe" said a bright cheerful voice, Zoe winced at the noise but turned to see her roommate Melissa seating at the table eating some breakfast. "Hey Mel" groaned Zoe as she opened the banana and took a few bites, nausea hit as she chewed the banana but she had to have something solid in her stomach with her medicine. After a couple of bites she took the medicine and chased it down with her powerade. The sunlight hit her eyes and a surge of pain went through and hit the back of her neck. Zoe covered her eyes to block out the light.

"Migraine again Zoe?" asked Melissa with concern in her voice, Zoe only nodded in response. "Dang Zo that's what your 5th one this month?" asked Melissa. Zoe shook her head and held up 7 fingers. "SEVEN Zoe that's not good, you should go and see your Doctor and get that checked out" said Melissa. "I would if I could afford it" said Zoe quietly Melissa only nodded in understanding.

"Well I have to go get ready for work now" groaned Zoe. Melissa raised an eyebrow "Still going in with a migraine?" she asked. "Yep, I can't afford not to" replied Zoe. As the day went on there was no relief and only got worst. Jason her allowed to work in the back with the freight since there was less noise and light. The pressure wasn't just in her head it was through out her body, she couldn't hardly think and felt like her whole body was being pulled in different directions. Maybe I am coming down with something and should go see a doctor thought Zoe to herself.

Deep in her own mind she was startled when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She let out a small yelp and turned to see Jason behind her. "Jason you startled me" she said slowly with her hand on her chest and feeling her heart beating rapidly. "Sorry Zoe, I called your name twice but I guess you didn't hear me but a customer is asking for you specifically would you go and help him please I know your not feeling well be he is very insistent that only you can help him" said Jason shrugging. Zoe huffed and started to move towards the front of the store. "Of course Jason I will help him but after I help him I am just not feeling well and I think I am just going go home I am sorry and where is he at?" asked Zoe. "Thank-you and I totally get it and he is in the Comic section" replied Jason.

Zoe walked over to the comic section to see a tall black man beautifully tailored golden suit, and was looking at a Thor comic laughing and shaking his head. As she got closer she could almost feel the power coming off the man it was almost magical. "Hello sir welcome to Helga's Book Nook, how can I help you?" asked Zoe. The man stopped and turned around and titled his head. Zoe took a deep breathe in his eyes were a piercing amber color and seemed to almost glow.

"Yes, Zoe right?" he said with a deep and warm voice. Zoe's head began feel heavy but she walked closer to him. "Yes, sir I am Zoe, can I help you find something? I saw that you were looking at a Thor comic do you like Thor?" she asked. The man smiled "He is certainly a character but can be impulsive at times but most time very noble" replied the man laughing. Something clicked in Zoe's head she had seen this man before. "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Idris Elba who plays Heimdall in the Thor movies?" asked Zoe. The man smirked "Maybe he looks like me." replied the man.

A surge of pain rushing through her head made Zoe double over and grip her head. "Are you well Zoe?" asked the man with concern in his voice. "Sorry I have just had a migraine all day today, but anyway how can I help you today?" asked Zoe. "Well Lady Zoe I am in here take you back home to your brother like you asked me too" replied the man. Zoe looked up confused "What are you taking about?" asked Zoe as she started to get dizzy. "Well Lady Zoe, it's time you finally come home where you belong" said the man. Zoe looked into his amber eyes and then everything went black.
