"Here, if you need to get sick again" she hands me a tiny pink bag and secures me into the backseat.
"I thought you said your fever was gone" Caroline sits down in the drivers seat and looks at me in the rear view mirror.
I don't say anything and tuck my legs to my chest and lean my head into the slack of the seatbelt. I start sniffling.
"Stop the car" I yell tears in my eyes.
She pulls over quickly.
"I don't feel good" I look up at her terrified and violently shaking.
"Hey come here" Caroline picks me up and helps me out of the car. I clench my sweaty hands to her blouse, and she holds me close and guides my walking to the grass.
I release my hold on her shirt and I drop my body like dead weight and I just lay on the grass and curl up.
She kneels down next to me and starts rubbing my back and I start to whimper and groan at the tightness in my stomach. My eyes start to flutter and roll back and my muscles contract and retracts. I groan out in pain.
"Just try to keep breathing hope" Caroline rubs my back and holds my neck with her other hand "I've got you" I try to stop my eyes from rolling and open them but it's pointless it just takes too much energy and it hurts like a sore muscle you've continued to use.
We lay there for a bit and my body starts to calm down and I feel like the wind was knocked out of me. I slowly sit up and lean on Caroline for support.
"Hey it's okay" she rubs my back and the helps me to my feet. I look up at her helplessly as she keeps me steady. She basically carries me back to the car.
"Hope can you look at me for a second and follow my finger" Caroline holds my arms in my lap as I slouch against the seat. I follow her finger with my eyes perfectly.
"Good job Hope, how do you feel" she lays me back on the seat.
"Tired" I grumble exhaustedly.
"Anything else?"
"It kind of feels like my body is running really fast and my brain or well I'm not controlling it." I tiredly blink up at her.
"Do you feel like it's going to happen again, it didn't affect your heart rate other than a slight and brief speed up. Does your head hurt at all?" She asks
"No,not really" I start to feel like I'm recovering
"When I get home please stay downstairs for a bit at least and please leave your door unlocked so I can check on you." She turns the key.
"I'm fine Caroline I can't die anyway" I lean against the car window.
"You can and we both know you don't want to turn right now." She tries to focus on the road while looking back to check on me.
