Family sickness follows

Chapter 7

After the adults went on their way home, the teens went to enjoy some more rides before deciding what to get for lunch. They found a place for lunch and Katie asked for the allergy menu, being lactose intolerant. They got some hotdogs, which unknowingly for them were made with processed meat and melted cheese in the inside of the sausage, and juice. They found somewhere to sit and enjoyed their food. Katie ate thinking it was made with tofu and whole grain bread as she had asked for. Harper checked her levels of sugar with Katie's help. They were a little low so she changed her juice for her drink.

Once they finished eating they chatted for a bit and went on a tamer ride to start with after lunch and after Harper checked her sugar again which was normal. Nothing has happened after that so far. They went on some more of the tamer ones, feeling safe. They decided to go back on the ride that they all first went on together when they met in the queue. That ended up not being a great idea. Just as the ride took the first turn, Katie threw up over her dress she wore with trousers underneath it, making Liam and Harper frantically shout for the ride to stop.

However the person running the ride didn't hear them and Katie continued to throw up the rest of her lunch and more. A minute later the ride stopped. Liam got up and then went to help his cousin with Harper's help. Katie groaned as she threw up again. The person running the ride rushed over to help them. They walked over to a bench and Liam rang Gemma. "Hi Li, everything ok with your papa?" Gemma asked. "Hi Auntie Gem, I'm not sure about papa, I'm actually at the theme park with Katie and Harper and I promise we were all careful with what Katie ate, but Katie isn't doing well and is throwing up." Liam said scared he was going to be scolded and also really worried about his cousin.

"Wow Li calm down, it's ok" Gemma said. "Can you come get us, please?" He asked, wanting her cousin to be home and better taken care of. "I'm out with my friends. I'll be there in a bit" Gemma said. "Thanks Auntie Gem," Liam said and finished the call. "Toilet quick" Katie said to Harper. "Li, can you help me with Katie? she needs the bathroom" Harper said. Liam nodded and helped Katie up. "Oh Katie, sorry you accidentally ate dairy" Liam said as he still thought it was the lactose intolerance playing up. "Don't worry. Not your fault," Katie said in a rush as she really needed to go. The three of them quickly looked for a bathroom.

They found the disabled bathroom. "Key bag" Katie said quickly, having an universal key as she can get really bad lactose intolerance. Harper grabbed the girl's bag seeing as Katie was leaning on Liam for support, she found the key and unlocked it. "Shall we wait outside?" Liam said. "Come with, Harper outside" Katie said knowing his cousin wanted to be a dr or a nurse and had seen her and her uncle unwell lots of times. Liam came in not surprised and helped his cousin pull her trousers and underwear off, leaving her dress on her for now and sitting her on the toilet just in time for her to explode into it. Liam comforted her as best as he could. He found a carrier bag to hold just in case, she soon felt nauseous and weaker. Liam held the bag for her to vomit in it. Katie vomited profusely. Liam rubbed Katie's back as she went both ways. "Shhh let it out, Katie" Liam tells her just as the phone goes. Liam looks at it and sees it's Gemma. "Katie, can I answer? it's your mum" Liam says. Katie puts her thumb up.

"Hey auntie Gem" Liam says. "Hi I'm at the.. oh is that Katie in the background?" Gemma says, now listening through the phone her daughter was going both ways. "Yes we are in the disabled toilet at the moment, you here?" Liam says. "Yes, they won't let me in even though my daughter is vomiting and using the toilet" Gemma grumbled the last bit "I will send Harper to come and get you." Liam says as Katie whimpers. She feels dreadful. Liam opens the door just enough to poke his head through it. "Harper, could you please go and help my aunt in? They are not letting her come through" Liam says. "Of course," Harper says, hoping they will let Gemma through. Liam thanked Harper before the girl rushed off to go and get Gemma. Liam shut the door and comforted his poorly cousin. She had a break for now but also didn't want to move.
