We slowly pulled into my driveway and he parked. Mark turned his body and looked at me. He took my hand; "I love you...so much." I smiled at him then squeezed his hand. "I love you too." I said back.
He turned off the car then he got out. I opened my door and my stomach got this stabbing pain. I tried to move on without showing I was in pain. When he wasn't looking, I winced; then stopped just in time for him to turn around and see him walking towards me. I quick looked up and smiled a bit.
He came over and said, "I forgot my computer at my house. I gotta go back and get it."
I nodded. "You want me to come with you?" I asked.
"No," he said. "You got to relax. You can't be running around like this. I should be only 30 minutes."
I nodded again. "Alright."
Mark helped me into the house and laid me down on the couch. He kissed my cheek.
"I'll be back soon." He whispered to me; and then he was out the door.
I made sure he had really left before I got up.
My head was still foggy but something kept telling me to record a video. This voice in my head kept saying "Play video games...play video games..."
I was swaying as I made my way up the stairs and into my recording room. The stabbing pain in my stomach was getting worse but I ignored it. I sat down and put my headphones on. I had to escape the world, I needed to get out of my own head.
I turned my camera on. "HeeeeEEEEEEEEyyy you guys..." I started saying then I winced quickly. "It's JessieGirl here and today..." I clutched my stomach. "There is no point in stopping now. I need to finish." I thought to myself.
"...today I'm gonna be playing-" my stomach lurched. I doubled over slightly. "Fight it Jess. Power through."
"...today I'm going to be playing another episode of 'The Witch's House'. When we last left off..."
I continued to commentate on the game. My stomach stopped hurting and I started to play better.
My head started to pound a bit but nothing was going to stop me from playing. I needed to finish this. I needed to get another video out.
"I don't see how this makes any sense...I went into the right room bu-" I was cut off by something in the game jumping out and scaring the living shit out of me. "Oh my Go-why is that a thing?! Why?!?" My heart was pounding and I felt my head getting clouded over.
I quickly did my outro and then I shut off my camera. My stomach went back to hurting and it felt like it was being ripped. "Ow!" I said doubling over. I started to breathe fast. I took my headphones off and then I ran to the bathroom. I ended up getting sick and that seemed to help the pain in my stomach subside.
"I probably ate something bad." I thought, as I leaned against the wall next to the toilet.
I then sat up and walked downstairs. Mark wasn't here yet.
I went to grab a water bottle to calm my stomach out of the fridge. I sat down on the couch and started to drink the water bottle.
My phone buzzed and I looked to see who it was.
"Be there soon, sorry it took so long." It was from Mark.
"No problem. See you soon" I replied back.
I laid down on the couch and my head was so fogged over. I felt like I had my heads in the clouds. My body was shaking slightly from the air conditioning blowing arctic winds around the house. I grabbed the blanket on the couch and pulled it over me. It only helped slightly.

15 minutes later; Mark was back and he came into the living room. "Hey beautiful, how you feeling?" He asked me.
"Honestly, a little sick." I told him and then informed him what happened after he left.
He immediately hugged me and held me. "Oh, my love!" He said. "Mark, I'm okay." I told him. My body was still shaking slightly. He must have noticed because he started hugging me tighter.
We sat there with him holding me. I rested my head on his shoulder, his hands started to lightly rub my back. "I love you, Mark." I said quietly. "I love you so much." He just wrapped his muscular arms around me gently and held me. "I love you too," he whispered in my ear. "So much."
