-passing out
-cussing*this is short, sorry!*
When I woke up, something felt off. I was lightheaded and tired. I just didn't feel good. But, we'd already made plans to go on the boat today and the boys were gonna fish. I didn't wanna ruin it by not being there.
So, I dragged my ass out of bed and made myself get ready. And by that, I mean I put on clothes and threw my hair up in a bad messy bun. JJ had already texted me good morning so it must've been late.
I pulled up at the chateaux and the gang was already there, drinking beers and whatnot, waiting for me. I was wearing black shorts and a random shirt that was probably Jay's. I stood up from my door and had to take a second as tiny black dots swarmed my vision, but went away quickly.
I walked up the steps to the porch where everyone was sitting.
"Nice of you to join us," Kie said sarcastically. "I slept in," I muttered and sat next to JJ on the couch.
"It's the afternoon," Pope said as a matter-of-factly.
"It's summer break." I countered.
"Touché."
I rested my head on Jay's shoulder, feeling like absolute crap. "You ok, mama?" He whispered so no one heard.
"I don't feel good," I mumbled, closing my eyes.
"Yeah, you're kinda pale." He said, concern evident in his tone. I let out a grumble at his observation. "We can go cuddle if you want?" He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
I didn't respond for a second. I didn't want to hold him back from having fun.
"No, it's ok. I'll be ok." I said and opened my eyes.
"You sure?"
"Positive."
...
"Ok." He said, but his voice said he wanted me to stay back and rest.

After being out on the boat for a few hours, I felt 10x worse. My headache had increased significantly and I could barely keep my eyes open.
JJ had been keeping a close eye on me since we got out on the water, making sure I was hydrated and staying close to me.
"You're not lookin' too hot, mama. Are you feeling ok?" He rubbed his hand up and down my back.
"Yeah," I said, feeling the cool water on my fingertips. "Just a headache," I admitted. He nodded and continued soothing me with his hand.
It wasn't until we were going back that I thought I might pass out. I was sweating, shaking, and super light-headed. "Jay." I panted as he helped me on the dock. "Hmm?" He turned to look at me and worry immediately filled his eyes.
"Holy shit, you're pale." He said. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I feel like I'm gonna pass out." The words were slurred as black dots blocked my vision until everything went black.
The last things I heard were, "Shit! John B, help me!"

As I regained consciousness, I felt a heat source next to me and a pillow under my head. I woke up and saw I was in my bed again. JJ was next to me and had one hand around my stomach and the other holding his phone.
"Good morning, sunshine." He smiled. "You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"What happened?"
"You passed out, mamas. Scared the shit outta me." He explained. "I'm sorry." I apologized, snuggling into his warmth.
"For what?" JJ asked, confused. "There's nothing for you to be sorry about." He assured me as he played with my hair. "Next time we can stay in and cuddle, so I can make you feel better." He rubbed up and down my back.
"Ok." I leaned in for a kiss, which he happily returned. "Go back to sleep, my love. I'm right here."
