Inhale

Six

Everything is spinning.

                                               My head is pounding.

                     My throat is dry and scratchy.

This is why I don't drink.

                                                    When I finally get my eyes to open, I am in a bed and Jordan is sleeping uncomfortably in a chair.

                I sit up, but I guess it was too fast because next thing I know, everything is spinning faster than before and feel like I have to vomit.

                              I guess luck was on my side because when I look across the hall, I see the toilet.

                             Next thing I know, I am throwing up my guts and Jordan is holding my hair in place.

                                    I didn't think my heart could beat any faster at that moment, but his touch sent it going one hundred miles per minute.

                     He whispered soothing things in my ear.

                      His voice was remedy that no other could replace.

                                        I took it all in; inhaled everything that I could get, even if I was sitting over a toilet.
