A/N: TW for emetnaphobia. Basically a sicfic episode.
I wake up probably 5 hours later in an empty bed. It's 9ish so I'm guessing the girls had to go to team bonding assuming I would stay asleep. I feel feverish in the bed though and can't fall back asleep. I sit up slowly feeling so dizzy laying down I think standing may help. I get to my feet and move to the window. I crack it open trying to fill my lungs with cool outside air. It helps for a second but the dizziness takes back over. I stumble my way over to the bathroom sitting next to the toilet. I don't feel good and the Nausea mixed with the dizziness means I feel safer here. I lay down on the ground pressing my head against the cool tile. The cool feeling of the ground on my head helps ground me and I take several deep breaths. I lay there for maybe 20 minutes not daring to move as the dizziness came in waves. The door opened and closed.
"Danii!?" I hear Tierna call my name. I let out a groan to let her know where I am. A few moments later she finds me. "Oh Dani," her voice sounds so sad that I almost let out a few tears. She moves next to me stroking my hair back from my face. "Are you feeling sick?" She asks.
"I'm so dizzy and a bit nauseas. It just felt safer to stay here." I whisper. She sits down next to me continuing to run her finger through my hair. After a few minutes the dizziness feels like the whole world is about to fall out from under me. My stomach is churning from what feels like a constant roller coaster ride. I sit up and lean over the toilet breathing heavily. I start shaking horridly, I hate throwing up. The brain fog is making it hard to concentrate on what is happening which is a bit of a gift. I am lost in the fog when suddenly my body lurches forward with a gag. Tierna rubs my back as I gasp for air. The lurch sent a new wave of dizziness through me and I grip the edges of the toilet as I shake so hard I worry I'll topple over. After a moment the dizziness calms down abit and I struggle to catch my breath. I feel Tierna leave my side and I whimper to afraid to say anything. I stay in my position over the toilet. I feel Tierna return and a soft blanket is wrapped around my shoulders. The sensation is enough to make me heave again. I shake aggressively but feel slightly less sick. I lean back into Tierna gasping for air. She holds me tightly. I feel better in her arms. Less dizzy. I breath there for a few minutes. My stomach hasn't calmed though and another wave of dizziness has me sitting back up. Tierna rubs my back again.
"Your okay just take deep breath."
"I'm so dizzy," I whimper out between gasps.
"I know but I promise it won't last forever," she says holding me as I shake. I heave a few more times each heave bringing up another wave of dizziness that triggers the next. Finally I bring up some stomach acid into the toilet. The smell is even more nauseating and I gagged horribly. I gripped the edge of the toilet as my shoulders rolled forward with each heave. More stomach acid came up until every heave was unproductive. Tierna reached up and flushed the toilet and I took deep breaths over the swirling water. I heave a few more times as the dizziness rushes though. With the smell gone my stomach calms a bit. The taste in my mouth is still horrible but I feel a bit better. I lean back into her arms whimpering in pain. The whole process has left my head spinning and more painful than before. Leaning on Tiernas warm frame I feel much better though. I am grateful that the vomiting is over. "You ready to get up?" Tierna whispers.
"Yeah I feel a bit better." I allow her to help me up. She's brought my tooth brush into the bathroom and I gratefully brush the taste out of my mouth. After I finish she leads me to the bed. She snuggles into the bed next to me and I lay my head on her chest. "Well you've seen me at just about my worst now," I say embarrassed.
"If that's the worst it gets I can definitely handle that," she says holding me tighter.
"Yeah still I like to not have someone watch me violently puke the same day I kiss them for the first time," I say.
