Not Just a Neighbor, [ Tal Fishman ]

T w e n t y - T h r e e

Hey guys! I have tons of plans for this book, and for that I am going to be displaying some of them in this chapter! Please don't say anything in the comments, because I have tricked a few of you by trying out your "ideas" ;-) So make sure you wait for the next few chapters BEFORE assuming ideas in the comments! Muah xx

My eyes shot open, my neck flexing in a weird way and my stomach lurching. What the hell? Sitting up, I felt like I was going to puke all over the place. Running to the bathroom, I gripped the edges of the toilet and threw up into the toilet. That wasn't pleasant at all. Sitting over the toilet and finishing up what was left in my stomach, I sat up and wiped my mouth, flushing the toilet and washing my hands before wiping my mouth. 

"Hey, you okay?" Tal asked, rubbing my bare back and I nodded. "Probably from Tanisha's place." I groaned. Tanisha was Tal and I's old High School friend, and she had the stomach flu among other things. 

There were a few others there, so I am sure some others got it too. Tal proceeded to walk to the kitchen while I tried to scrub the toilet, my arms shaking. I felt so light-headed! Walking to the bed, I sat down and rubbed my temples. Tal brought me a plate full of eggs and some salsa, my favorite breakfast. Just looking at it made me sick. 

"I can't, I am s-" Before I could finish my stomach, I sprinted to the bathroom and skidded onto my knees to throw up some more. What was this!?

After a few hours of non-stop vomiting and Tal trying to comfort me, he was forced to leave me be to go make a video. Elenor, one of my older friends, was convinced she had to come over and help. 

I opened the  door and had a saddened look. "Elenor, you're going to get sick!" I warned her, and she shook her head. "I have only been sick four times in my entire life, and the last time was with a parasite that toughened up my immune system!" She encouraged me to stop worrying. 

We both made our way to the other side of the apartment, hearing Tal scream at his video. What a goof. "Is there any possibility that you could be..." She asked, looking down at my belly. "What? No! Tal and I wear protection! Plus, I use Birth Control." I smiled, and she nodded. Birth Control either way would stop a baby from developing.

"How do you feel now?" She asked, putting the back of her hand to my forehead. "Fine, I guess." I stretched out onto my bed and coughed. "That's not a stomach flu..." She shook her head in dismay. "What do you mean? Elenor, I am not pregnant!" I laughed. Why would I be pregnant? Tal and I were safe, and I was on my third month of Birth Control! There was no way with double protection that I would be pregnant. 

"If you're not pregnant, then go to the doctor." Elenor urged me, and I sighed. "I feel like when I get there I will start throwing up..." I groaned, looking at the floor. "Okay, then they'll take you in quicker! Good thinking." She grabbed my bag and I sighed. "Just get dressed, put on some perfume and try to suck on a mint so you don't smell like that!" She poked me, and I sighed. "Fine." I agreed.

Walking over to the closet, I grabbed some black leggings with a sweatshirt, slipping on some sandals and putting my hair into a bun. "Tal, sweetie, I am off to the doctor!" I yelled, and he poked his head out. "Call me when you're done! Text me if anything happens." He yelled back, and I smiled. Even when he was making videos, he still cared. 

"It could just be a bug that's going around." I tried to convince myself, and she scoffed. "Yeah, that you feel fine after throwing up four or five times? I doubt it." She and I debated the whole way to the doctors office.
