Trapped in Ophelia's Body

Not what I planned

Song: You will find me By Alex and Sierra

By the time we leave the Pharmacy and grab lunch to take home to eat, I am so exhausted. I take my meds and head up to my room. I had planned on texting Kodiak however I actually feel so bad that I crash as soon as my body hits my bed. By the time I wake back up it is dark outside. I glance at my phone and I missed several text from him. I debate on texting him right back but instead my stomach feels so upset. I barely make it to the bathroom before I am puking out all of its contents.

I hear someone coming up the stairs and the footsteps stop at the bathroom door. There is a light knock. "Are you alright sweetheart?" Ask my mom.

I groan and then puke again. She comes rushing in. Within minutes she pulls my hair back and then hands me a wet cloth. My mom is like so amazing. I rarely ever tell her that but she is because she is always there for me when I need her to be. She doesn't say anything. She just waits beside me to make sure that I am alright. I try to stand up but I am so weak and she has to help me. Before I know it my dad is also in the bathroom and they both help me up to get me back to my bed.

My dad runs around the room to get the trash can to put it by my bed just in case my body decides to empty its contents again. However it is so empty and when I do bend over to do it all there that's left is the acid in my stomach, dry heaves by the way hurt like hell. I feel like my insides are caving in, breaking down, it all tightens up inside and it freaking hurts. My mom on the other hand runs back downstairs and comes back up with the thermometer and a glass of water. She pops the end in my mouth and waits. When it beeps she glares at it and then looks at my dad all worried. I don't wait to see what they say; I curl up and close my eyes. I just want to be left alone.

They both go out of my room and I can hear them talking but I can't make out the words everything around me is hazy. I'm not sure how long they were gone or how long I was asleep either way when I wake back up they are both in the room sitting by my bed. I didn't mean to wake them both up but my body continues to puke. My dad comforts me by putting his hand on my back and gently massages my shoulder. My mom is freaking out. She has her phone in her hand and leaves the room to talk to whoever it is.

I have never felt this miserable. My head is pounding and my body is aching all over. I feel so light headed and then it happens...darkness. When I open my eyes back up I am in an unfamiliar place. There is a machine next to me beeping and another machine with a liquid bag that has a long tube that is attached to my arm, not to mention something in my nose. I start gagging and my mom is at my side in a matter of seconds. She is holding my hand and at first all her words are jumbled all together but then after a few minutes it all clears.

"You were dehydrated sweetie. You passed out." She points to the tube in my arm. "They are giving you fluids to help your body." I touch my nose and she says. "That is just pure oxygen to help you breath better. Would you like to take it out?"

I nod my head yes. She does but keeps it close by in case I might need it. My throat feels so dried out; it hurts when I try to make a sound. She turns to grab the cup off the tray and hands it to me to take a sip. The cool wetness soothes over the dryness and I feel a tad better.

I happen to notice sunlight coming in the window and it makes me wonder how long was I out. The door opens and a nurse walks in; she starts to check all the machines and then she looks down at me with a slight smile. "How are you feeling?"

I shrug at the same time that I yawn. I slept all night and I'm still yawning, seriously.

"Are you up to eating? They will be by shortly with breakfast."

I don't say anything to her. Both my parents are awake now and my dad leans over to hug me.

"Do you want me to stay here with you today?"
