I woke up with a sick feeling in my stomach. Calum had his arm around me and he was still sleeping. I tried to wriggle out of his grasp but he wouldn't let me go. I feel like I am about to throw up. I forcefully remove his arm from around my waist and slide out of his bed. He didn't wake up thankfully. I walked out to the hallway and then into the bathroom and closed the door. I just made it to the toilet in time before I started throwing up. I tried to be as quiet as I could. 

After about 10 minutes I felt like it was over. I went to the sing and rinsed my face. I needed a glass of water to get the horrible taste out of my mouth. I silently walked out of the bathroom and tip toed into the kitchen. I got a cup from the cupboard and poured some water into it. It was so refreshing. 

After about 3 cups more of water I was starting to feel sick again. I checked the time and it was 4AM. I ran quietly back to the bathroom with my cup, closed the door and knelt in front of the toilet. I don't know what was wrong with me but I couldn't stop vomiting. I hadn't eaten anything bad or unusual in the last 24 hours? 

Again, when i thought I had finished throwing up again I rinsed y face and poured water into the cup. I sat down against the wall and hugged my knees. I found that rocking back and forth slightly helped. My body was shaking and I felt week. All the running and kneeling had made my ankle throb in pain, Calum must have taken the boot thing off when he helped me into bed. I'm not supposed to walk without it on. 

It was rather warm for it to be 4 in the morning, that means it's going to be a really hot day today. I kind of really hate hot weather. I would much rather be wearing a hoodie and jeans. 

While I was sitting on the bathroom floor in pain, I heard footsteps in the hallway. I tried to e as quiet as I could but it wouldn't help because the light was on and even though the door is shut someone could easily tell from outside the bathroom. The footsteps were getting closer and then I heard the door knob turn and the door creak open. I wasn't looking at who it was because my head was currently in my knees, but then they spoke. 

"Brooke, are you okay?" Mali ask me. I lift my head up which took a lot of effort because of the weak state I was in. She came and sat down beside me. 

"I don't know" I mumble. 

"What happened?" She asks. 

"I felt sick so I came in here and threw up a bit. Then got  water, then came back and threw up some more. My ankle hurts so much and I feel so weak." I mutter with a shaky voice. 

"Shit, do you need to go to hospital?" Mali asks. She keeps asking so many questions.

"No I'll be fine. Can you get the boot" I ask. She nods and leaves the bathroom. I rest my head back into my knees until she returns with my boot and a pillow. She helps me put the boot on and does the straps up, then rests it on the pillow.

"I don't know what to do shit, urm.. Stay here I'll be back" She says and stands up. 

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"You need food. You're as pale as a ghost and shaking a lot." She says and then leaves yet again. I don't want to eat because I'll just throw it up again. And I don't want to eat it in here because it smells like vomit. I just want to cuddle Calum, but I don't want to wake him up and I especially don't want him to see me like this. 

Mali comes back in, but she doesn't have any food. 

"Here let me help you up" She says and reaches out both her hands. I take them and she gently helps me to my feet. She grabs the pillow and then throws my arm around her shoulder. 

"Thanks" I say and shoot her a smile. 

"No worries" She says and smiles back at me. She helps me out of the bathroom and then into the lounge area. There was a bowl of corn flakes and a cup of coffee on the table next to the couch. She helps me onto the recliner and then pulls the leg bit up, places the pillow on it and then my foot on the pillow.
