Sick

The repetitive buzz of the alarm clock violently
woke her from her slumber. She rolled over groaning, violently smacking her bedside table in hopes of silencing the insufferable noise, eventually causing the clock to deactivate and fall to the floor.

She felt like crap, her head was pounding for no reason, her stomach felt like it was on a rinse cycle and her eyes stung as she blinked. With great force she pulled herself out of bed and immediately felt woozy in her head, causing her to fall back and slump onto the bed. rubbing her eyes she slowly regained her balance and wobbled to the bathroom.

"You look like shit" her older sister Florence chuckled walking past her on the landing, as she made her way to the bathroom, ignoring her, taking it in as sisterly banter.

However, when she took a look at herself in the mirror in bathroom, Florence's words seemed to of rang true. Her face was pale, her under eyes were dark as anything; highlighted by her blood shot eyes and just overalled mishmash of appearance; oh and she got her period, great.

The thought of just crawling back into the pit she came out of sounded like a dream but today was a big rehearsal for StepInside, in other words, Richelle will kill her if she didn't show up, meaning she had to force herself to look presentable, take anything that will numb the pain coming from her head, cramps and whatever else the universe decided to hurt.

3 layers of concealer and foundation, as well as her usual make up routine, seemed enough to cover up her death stricken complexion, making her seem somewhat normal.

**buzz***
The sound of her phone vibrating on the bedside table, interrupting her Taylor Swift playlist.

"Snap from 'Finley❤️' "

Smiling at the notification, she opened the snap to see a picture of him in bed, curls flattened on his forehead, pouting in a silly face, his abs very clearly on show which made Piper smirk before she read the small caption at the bottom of the snap.

"Morning my love, I slept through my alarm again teehee"

She smiled at the snap, for a moment forgetting about how ill she feels, posing in a simple selfie to send in return.

"See you at rehearsals! Don't be late! Love you!"

~~~
She watched as her cornflakes slowly turn into an orange mush, the muffled zoned out noise of her mother soothing her aunt after another argument with her husband.

"Piper!"

The yelling pulled her out of her daydream, feeling her fathers cold hand on her head.

"You don't look so well, maybe take the day off from rehearsals, get some rest"

She knew her mother was only trying to be kind but today was rehearsals for the opening step inside number, she had all the choreography to learn and choreograph a partnering section with Finn.

"I'm good, got a lot of choreo to learn today AND I'm helping teach baby ballet with Ames"

She stood up fast to leave, almost too fast as she started to feel dizzy. Pausing for a moment to collect herself she grabbed her  bag and dashed out to catch the next bus.

At rehearsals, the girls sat in a circle stretching, Piper was admittedly slightly zoned out from the conversation, Lily was talking about her recent breakup and how she wasn't sure about the whole thing, Richelle was talking about Shad absent to the obviousness of her feelings towards him, while Amy was trying to give Lily some meaningful advice surrounding breakups, with the two girls having a bonding moment over their recent heartbreak.

Piper realised that she was the only one in their friend group who was in a relationship now, that was a weird thought to dwell on, usually it was Amy. She made a mental note to be careful surrounding her relationship discussions.
