In Sickness

Chapter 3

I woke up when I felt Sean shaking violently. I looked at the time. 2 a.m.

"Sean?"

He woke up and looked at me. With my arms still wrapped around him I felt that he was burning up. He snuggled closer to me.

"I'm freezing. You're so warm"

"Sean you are sweating and burning up"

He then pulled away from me and ran out of the room. I waited for him to come back. I heard the sound of him throwing up and walked to the bathroom. He was hunched over the toilet throwing up. I got down on my knees beside him and started rubbing his back.

After he got done throwing up he collapsed against me coughing. I held him close to me.

"Sean. I may have to take you to the ER if this keeps up"

He shook his head and continued coughing. Once he was done coughing he grabbed his stomach groaning in pain. I picked him up and grabbed my phone and keys and went to my car.

"Mark, no I'm-"

He started coughing again. He kept holding his stomach and the pain was evident on his face.

"No you're not fine and I'm taking you to the ER. You have no choice in the matter"

He curled up as much as he could and held his stomach. He kept groaning in pain.

"Mark"

"Hm?"

"I'm gonna be sick again"

"We're almost there"

Right as I said that I pulled into the parking lot in front of the ER. Jack opened the car door and started throwing up again. I reached over and rubbed his back. Once he was done I went and picked him up and carried him into the ER.

Some nurses took him and put him on a gurney. The nurses took him to a room. Then they made me sit in the waiting room. After a few minutes of sitting in the waiting room, one of the nurses came and got Sean's information from me. She then went through some double doors and disappeared.

I sat in the waiting room and stared at the ceiling. Then I heard my phone go off. It was a text from Bob.

From: Bob
Hey it's all over Twitter that "Markiplier's in the waiting room at the hospital" what's going on?

From: Mark
Sean came to visit and apparently he's sicker than just a cold like the doctors in Ireland told him.

From: Bob
Oh well keep me updated on him

I put my phone back in pocket and stared at the ceiling again. Then one of the nurses came and got me. She led me through the double doors to Sean's room.

When I walked in I saw that he had an IV running from his arm to what I assumed was some pain medicine. Then I saw that he was hooked up to the heart monitor. I grabbed the chair from the corner of the room and pulled it beside his bed. Then I grabbed his hand and just held it. He looked at me and squeezed my hand. I gave him a small smile.

"I love you"

He smiled at me.

"I love you too"

A doctor walked in then. He looked at us and gave a small smile.

"We need to do some tests and see if we can find anything. You were told that it was a cold?"

Sean nodded.

"Who told you this?"

"My doctor in Ireland"

The doctor nodded then left the room. I held Sean's hand. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"Sean, you know this will be all over Twitter right? It's already on Twitter that I'm here"

"I don't care. Comes with the job"

I chuckled. He had a point. Maybe he should do a vlog once we find out what's wrong.

"Hey Mark?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think I should do I vlog once they figure out what's wrong?"

"Yea, I think that would be a good idea"

He nodded then leaned back. We might as well get comfy. Looks like we're gonna be here a while.

"Mark"

"Hm?"

"Grab the throw up pan over there"

I looked where he was pointing then grabbed the pan. I sat it in front of him. I used my free hand to rub his back.

"Sorry for kinda ruining the visit"

"You can't control that you're sick. You didn't ruin anything"

He nodded as he held the pan closer to him. He then threw up into the pan. I continued to rub his back and hold his hand. Once he was done I grabbed the pan and moved it. One of the nurses took it and handed us another one.

Sean laid down in the bed and closed his eyes. I looked at my phone and checked the time. 3:30 a.m. Well I guess we need to try and get some sleep.

I laid my head down on our intwined hands and closed my eyes. I didn't realize how tired I was until then.

"Mark, go to sleep"

"You need sleep too"

"I know I'll get sleep. Let's both go to sleep"

"I have to be up in time to make a video"

"In the hospital?"

I nodded.

"Whatever. Just get sleep"

"You too"

"Yes, Mark"

I listened to Sean's breathing and waited for it to even out so that I knew he was asleep. Shortly after I slipped into a deep sleep.
