week later

i wake up one morning at 6:30 to my stomach hurting. i turn over on my side and try to go back to sleep but i start feeling like i'm gonna puke.

i run to the bathroom and make it just in time. i hear kai walk in after me.

kai : jackie, you okay angel?

he holds my hair up as i continue to vomit. once i'm done he hugs me.

kai : what's wrong, baby.
me : my stomach hurts. and my head.
kai : well you didn't drink any alcohol so what do you think it is?
me : probably some bug or virus or whatever.
kai : okay. come back to bed.

he helps me over to the bed and i lay back down and go to sleep. i wake up again at 10:30.
kai went to the living room already. so i go in the living room.

kai : how're you feeling, bubs?

he motions for me to go to him. i walk over and sit on his lap sideways and lay my head on his shoulder.

kai : how are you feeling?
me : not really better.
kai : you were asleep for a while.
me : yeah. i thought it would help.
kai : well did it help at all?
me : not really.

just then i started feeling really sick again and i ran to the bathroom again and threw up again. kai ran after me and held my hair up again.

kai : i'm so sorry baby. you want me to get you some medicine.
me : yeah.
kai : okay go sit on the couch.

i go sit on the couch next to ale with my back against the arm of the chair.

ale : are you okay, jackie?
me : no. i don't feel good at all.
ale : aw i'm sorry.
tia : hope you feel better soon.
ale and brady : yeah.
me : thanks guys.

kai comes over with the medicine and i take it. he sits inbetween me and ale and i put my legs in his lap.

without even realizing it, i doze off back to asleep yet again. when i wake up, i'm in my bed. kai must've carried me in here.

also when i woke up, i couldn't find anyone anywhere.

i walk out and go to the kitchen. there was a note on the counter. "just left to get some lunch. call me when you wake up. -kai."

i call kai and he answers.

me : how long ago did you leave?
kai : like 5 minutes.
me : so you're not at the restaurant yet?
kai : no. not yet. do you have a preference on where you wanna go.
me : yeah. i'm craving chick-fil-a nuggets.
kai : okay. we can get chick-fil-a. i'll see you in a bit, bubs.
me : okay. i love you, bye.
kai : i love you too, bye.

we hang up and i wait on the couch for them to get home.
