A couple of weeks had passed by quickly, and Joe was sat in the same position on the bed playing XBOX again. It was only 2 in the afternoon so I let him off while I was in the living room watching TV. I haddn't felt so great all morning and felt like I could throw up at any moment. Then it hit me, I ran to the bathroom en suite to the bedroom racing past a concentrating Joe. "Babe! Are you alright?!" Joe shouted through to me while I had my head over the toilet bowl "Hang on a second Caspar, I'll be back in a second" He took off his headset and ran into the bathroom and held my hair for me. "What's wrong Ell?" He asked while rubbing my back "I don't know" I moaned into the toilet "I must be coming down with something"

Joe was meant to go to Brighton to visit his sister and Alfie for the weekend, and probably didn't want to look after me being ill. "You can still go tommorrow, I'll be fine" I reasured him still sat on the bathroom tiles "No, Ellie. It's alright, I'll stay back" he murmered as he helped me off the floor, "Joe, just go. I'll get a friend round to stop you worrying okay?" I demanded. "Fine but if it gets worse I'm coming home" he stated I nodded in agreement.

I got up to call my best friend over, so Joe wouldn't panic. "Hi Sammy," I began walking towards the bedroom "Yeah, I'm not feeling too good and Joe wants some reassurance that i'll be okay. Fancy stopping over tomorrow?" "Well as long as I don't catch it" she laughed "I don't think you can catch food poisoning" I said sarcastically "Aw poor baby" Sammy whined in the same tone. Sarcasm was our thing. She agreed to come over however tomorrow morning as Joe leaves that means no awkward contact between him and Sammy in which Joe will have a military prepared action plan of how to look after me. And that Sammy will take zero notice of.

It was the next morning when I felt Joe's weight roll out of the bed. I looked at the clock and it was still quite early, but I got up so I could say goodbye. Bad idea. As I stood up it felt like the room was spinning, I was unbelievably dizzy so I quickly sat back down again. I shook it off after a while and walked into the bathroom where Joe was brushing his teeth "Morning babe, you alright?" he asked mouth full of foamy toothpaste "Yeah I'm fine" I lied. "Good" he smiled before plunging his face into the sink I stood next to him as he dried his face before he turned to me "You will be okay wont you?" he asked holding my small face in his hands "Course I will, now get changed and be gone. Sammy will be here soon" I beamed a smile up at him and kissed his cheek. He left the bathroom for me to get ready myself.

I stood at the mirror brushing my teeth I began to feel dizzy again and sick. I spat the toothpaste out and kneeled over the toilet bowl again like yesterday, trying to be as quiet as possible so Joe wouldn't get worried. I heard the murmur of Joe's voice talking into the intercom, meaning that Zoe had come to pick him up, "Ell, I'm leaving. Where are you?" his voice got louder and louder so I stood up "I'm leaving then!" he smiled at me and kissed my lips "You look after yourself okay? Love you" he said before rushing out to meet his sister.
