I wake up around 3 in the morning. I didn't feel that well. My stomach was burning, and I had a horrible headache. Sam was laying beside me, and I didn't want to wake him. I went to the downstairs bathroom, and I got sick. I didn't know exactly where this sickness is coming from. I just felt like shit.
"Hey Miles before you leave, I can't work today" I said. "Why can't you work" he said. "I'm sick, I have a headache, I got sick, and my body hurts all over" I said. "We might want to take you to the hospital" he said. "Ok, why?" I ask. "Those are symptoms of meningitis" he said. "What, I can't have that" I said. I felt like crying, I didn't know what to do.
"Ok I'm going to go tell Sam I love him, and I'll be right down" I said.
"Hey Sam, I'm going to the hospital" I say. "Why, are you sick" he said. "Yeah, Miles is taking me, but you have to stay and work, I love you" I say. "Ok, I love you too" Sam said.
My body just keeps feeling worse. I had to close my eyes, the sun didn't help my headache at all.
We get to the hospital about 8 in the morning. "Hello I think my brother here is getting a bit sick" Miles said. "Ok what are your symptoms?" She asked. "Um, headache, body ache, fever, and vomiting" I say. "It could be meningitis, probably want to get you into a room right away" she says. We go to the third floor, room 1587. She tells us the doctor will be right there.
"Uh, how are we going to pay for this?" I ask. "Well apparently Hallie got 15 thousand somehow, I'll use that" he said. She probably is a drug dealer, knowing her. "Jessie, um we want you to stay here incase you get worse" the doctor said. "Ok, that will be fine, will I be able to have visitors" I say. "Yes, and here are some pain killers, and Miles we will take care of your brother, maybe bring him some things from home tomorrow morning, we will get ahold of you as soon as possible" he said. With that Miles left the room. "I'm doctor kaler" Dr. Kaler said. "Um is it ok if my boyfriend can come tomorrow?" I ask. "Of course during visit hours your boyfriend may come" he said. "Ok thanks, is this the room I'll stay in" I say. "No we will be moving you to the next floor" he said.
"Ok, let's just hope it's not that bad" I say. "Yes, we can all hope" said Dr. Kaler.
I was moved to the fourth floor, room 2908. It was a lot more homey on this floor. I couldn't wait to see Sam tomorrow. Hopefully he doesn't cry, or I will and that makes my headache worse. I could die, please just be the flu.
