~~~~Nicole's POV~~~~
I wake up in the middle of the night with my stomach fluctuating and feeling worse than a period cramp. I sat up, raised my knees to my chest and buried my head in them. I could feel heat coming up my throat so I immediately get up and bolt to the bathroom. I tie my hair up and sit in front of the toilet. "Fucking shit, I hate this," I cursed before I spewed my guts out. Disgusting I know but the hell am I gonna do. I'm not going to vomit in my own bed, I don't wanna lay in that.
For the rest of the night I was up and down puking mostly dry heaving which was worse than actually puking. Ugh I hate being sick. Well now I have an excuse to not go into work tomorrow. Might as well leave my boss a message so she can read it first thing. I get my phone out and tap my bosses contact.
Message to Melody
Hey, I can't go into work today I've either gotten the stomach flue or a virus. Either one's still spreadable. Sorry for that.

I then go back to sleep got the next couple of hours. It was a peaceful nap until my phone woke me up with my boss calling me. Annoyed I picked up my phone and answered. "Hello," I croaked out surprising myself with the sound of my own voice. "I got your message," she starts off and pauses for a couple seconds to collect her words. "It's fine you take a sick day I just wanted to call and make sure you survived last night because I know you never get sick," she explains to me. It's nice to know she cares. "Thanks, I'm alive," I said a little more cheerfully. "Good to know, well I'll let you off now I hope you feel better soon," Melody tells me before hanging up. Thank you for not wanting to hold a conversation with me.
I went back to sleep for another 4 hours. When I woke up I checked my phone for any messages, and oddly I don't have any. I guess Luke was busy practicing or performing or maybe sleeping. I don't know. I shrug it off and attempt to get up which failed miserably. "I guess no coffee for me," I sigh laying back down.

   Later on I realised that I haven't thrown up so I decided to get up and attempt to get something to drink because at this point I was practically dying of thirst. So I do actually get up and survive the trip down the stairs to get a bottle of water. Then I go back up stairs to check my phone again.

   I then close my phone and sip my water. What to do, what to do? I thought to myself as I opened my laptop and scrolled through tumblr for the rest of the night waiting for Luke to text me again. While I was waiting I ended up going to the dark, depressing side of tumblr which made me realise how sad I actually was. How worthless I am.

   It's a short chapter but I actually am sick and have nothing better to do at the moment so if this sucks sorry I'm blaming it on being sick.
   I've also been very busy embarrassing myself on so many levels and 2 weeks from now ima embarrass myself even more. Eh, don't ask xD.
   Anyways I'll update somewhere this month.
