As I lay in bed my whole world begins to spin. Is this what the flu feels like?
My body feels weak and drained, my mouth is dry and my head hurts. All the different colors in my room swirl until they form one ugly brown blob.
I close my eyes and sigh. With my eyes closed I can think, I can think about the things that matter.
I think about my sister. I look up to her more than anything, she's my best friend and I know I don't say it as often as I should but I love her. I really do.
I think about my parents. They're very busy people but always make sure that Abi and I had what we needed to get through the day.
I think about Alexus, my one true love. She's the one that always makes me smile even when I don't want to.
She's the one who laughs at all my Harry Potter references even though sometimes they aren't even funny. She just gets me.
I get up and walk to the bathroom, as I'm about to brush my teeth I get a pounding sensation run through my head. I collapse onto the floor and hold my head in my hands.
These headaches had become more severe and more frequent in last couple of months.
I bring myself back to my room and my vision becomes blurred as I make my way to my bed. My head continues to hurt as I lay down.
Why does it hurt so much? It's got to be the flu, it can't be anything else. Can it?
