Desperate Measures

Sicker Things

April 4th 2012 - Day of the flight. 

I rolled over in my bed in the hotel that we are staying at as my alarm started going off for the flight we've got this morning. "Fuck why now? I was happlily asleep." I said to myself as I slowly sat up reaching for my phone as I got hit with a really bad wave of dizzyness which made me fall back into the bed. Wait why am I dizzy? Is it from the drinking we did last night? Fuck you can't be getting sick now Josh...just try again. I tried to sit up again and succesfully grabbed my phone that time from the nightstand as I checked the group chat to see if anyone else was up. 

Matt: Hey you guys up yet? It's beautiful out and did you guys want to go get something to eat before the flight? 

Mike: Sure I'm down how about the others? 

Brett: We've got about five hours till the flight and is Josh awake yet? 

Matt: Dunno 

Josh: Yeah yeah I'm up. I might just skip breakfast just having a rough hangover. 

Yeah I know I lied about a hangover but it's just so I don't worry their asses off. I sighed sitting up in the bed as that just made the whole fucking room spin and me sick to my stomach. "Shit..." I said getting up from the bed and running to the bathroom as I threw up the contents of last nights hangout with the guys. Okay maybe this is just a bad hangover...and I'm not sick with whatever the fuck I have. 

After puking my guts up I just slid down the wall just feeling worse than before. I could also hear the pings from my phone on my bed as I forgot to bring it with me. "Oh come on...you can do this just walk to the bed..." I said to myself weakly as I slowly got up as I basically dragged myself to the bed grabbing my phone from the pillow and sitting back down on the bed and swiping to Matt's contact. 

Josh: Hey I need your help please Matt. 

Matt: Sure what's up?

Josh: Just come to my room and I'll tell you just please don't tell anyone else 

Matt: I'll be there in a min just open the door. 

Fuck I gotta get up again?! Great just fucking great. I just sighed getting up from the bed to just prepare myself for Matt's arrival. And right on queue he knocked on the door. "Josh open up and tell me what's wrong please." I took a deep breath as I walked over to the door unlocking it while stumbling a little bit as I opened the door as he just gave me this shocked look. "Dude you look pale as shit are you okay?" I shook my head as I just made a bolt for the bathroom again but nothing came up this time. 

"Josh what is going on? You don't seem to be well." He said rubbing my back as I just slid down the wall pulling my knees up to my chest. "M-My head is fucking spinning...and I just feel like a bag of shit Matt. Please just help me get to the airport and to New York cause I don't know what to do." He grabbed my cosmetic bag looking through it for something as he pulled out a travel size bottle of pepto bismol. "Why didn't you say something in the chat and try this. Once we're in New York I am taking you to a doctor okay? Cause Josh this could be that thing coming back." Shit I didn't even begin to think of that. I shook my head as I didn't really think I needed to see a doctor yet and I did grab the little bottle and took a few sips of it. "Josh don't be stubborn please. You need to see someone later today now come on I'll help you get dressed and down to the lobby." He said offering his hand as I took it getting up slowly as I just held onto him as he led me into the main area as I sat down on the bed while he grabbed a random top and pants and underwear. 

"Just promise me you won't tell....our manager or the guys. I can't be the reason this tour gets cancelled." I gave Matt this look while taking off my top as I was starting to put on the new top as I just heard him sigh. "Josh they need to know you're sick with something or if this is just a hangover. I'll go grab my suitcase and I'll be back just get ready." He said walking out of the room and closing the door while I continued to get dressed. Plus I think that medicine was helping the nausea a little bit.
