{Chapter 05, Pools Of Petals}

{Scotts POV}

When ide woken up from collapsing on my bed after actually interacting with people yesterday
it was the middle of the night
and somehow i felt worse than i did the previous day
i felt as if someone was inside of me scratching the inside of my throat and tearing it apart
i also felt as if someone was physically twisting my stomach.
or making a fist inside of me.. 
or- something-!
i dont know it just hurt-
i sighed, but regretted that feeling a spike of pain in my chest
i quickly took off my jacket, throwing it onto a hook nearby
taking off my boots, bracelets and necklaces i fell back down onto my bed, what i was wearing was already comfortable enough-
flopping back onto my bed i laid there
just accepting my misery
i could feel myself shivering
but i didnt feel cold?
i could feel something in the back of my throat
i didnt know what
but i hated it
and clearing my throat only hurt as if i was swallowing thorns or something
i shoved my face into my pillows, throwing the blankets lazily over my body
i didnt care if my actual comforter and array of pillows were still on the couch
this was good enough
i was too tired to care
and soon just fell asleep

~next morning~

I woke up and attempted to sit up, but my arms were not supporting me
i felt so immensely weak
i forced my eyes open and was met with the blinding lights were painful
i was knocked with an Aeor awful headache
Smashing my face into a pillow i allowed my eyes to slip closed again, shifting under the thin blanket
i heard a knock on my door
what time was it..?
i checked my phone which was laying lazily next to me
10:25 already..
i wonder who was there
i got up and felt dizzy immediately
brushing it off i went to my mirror and looked half-presentable because my braid stayed intact and i didnt look too awful without makeup-
grabbing my jacket i slid down the latter and opened it, why the heck was Joel here at 10 in the morning?!

"Hello colorful man my wife calls single" he joked
"i am single joel" i laughed, ignoring the heavy feeling in my throat
"you sound horrendous- " he joked
"wow thanks-" i joked
"what are you here for joel" i sighed
"dyessss" he smiled
"usual colors?" i asked, walking past him weakly as he followed me to my dye cart
"yes sir! also genuine question, you were fine yesterday- how were you sick one day ago, manage NOT to be sick and end up sick again-?" he questioned
"all honesty, i do not know" i sighed and hopped onto my dye cart
"you have the worlds worst luck" he demanded in a pure genuine friend concern
"erm... yup" i sighed and grabbed his dyes, he placed the diamonds in my chest as payment
"Thank you colorful man! Meeting at Stratos at eight!" he said before taking off to upper Stratos

i sighed at the thought of another meeting
opening the door to my house i almost collapsed onto the floor, luckily making it to the couch before slumping onto my previous pile of blankets and pillows
why did everything hurt so bad...
i let my head hit my pillows, my eyes already falling closed
soon later i was jolted up by a coughing fit
it hurt but i could not stop
no matter what i did
when it finally subsided after what felt like hours
i knew something was wrong
immediately
i could feel whatever had gotten into my throat shifting when i coughed, and now when i breathed which forced me into another coughing fit
when i finally was able to let out what felt like had been in my throat for ages i let out a sigh of relief 
but those emotions twisted when i opened my eyes.
...

i was met with the horrendous view..
of a pool in a crease in the blankets..
a pool of..
bright
red
poppy petals..
small petals.. nothing much
NO- SHUT UP- I JUST COUGHED UP FLOWER PETALS THATS NOT NORMAL!!
when i said i liked flowers i didnt mean this..!!
my own blood was seeping into my blanket, turning the pink a brighter, redish shade
i wanted to scream
but i couldnt
i no longer had a voice
frozen in time
and shock
is this why ive felt so off these last few weeks?
i basically fell off the couch, grabbing the blanket.
i threw away the bloody petals
and washed the blanket
preying the stain wouldnt stick around
i flopped back onto the couch
my mind now filled with thoughts
