Yrene's PoV

Once again all dressed in the same attire, as luckily the flour had dusted off of Chase's shirt with ease enabling me to wear it again; ah, if only I had been as lucky with my hair too, which by the way I had to wash again, I go down the stairs again and this time am met by the delicious smell of something being baked. 

When I enter the kitchen, there in all his manly, chef like glory stands Chase, trying to ice a cupcake to perfection. He is so concentrated in his new task that he doesn't even notice when I sneakily snap a picture of him. 

Such a huge effect did his presence have on me that I, momentarily, forgot that I was about to eat a cupcake. How much I longed to eat that delicious goodie, only I knew. 

But I only realised this when I take the fist bite. I allow myself to eat a little more, to live a little if only because Chase was looking at me intently. 

I tell him that the cupcake is delicious and immediately after that ask him to excuse me for I have started to spiral. 

The tiny voice in my head had kept on chanting for me to purge it as soon as I was done swallowing it and the voice has now grown louder making me feel trapped inside of my own head resulting in severe anxiety which I mask with a delighted smile, or what I think of as a delighted smile, when I leave Chase. 

What I am not aware of then,  is the look of worry Chase gives me  when I bolt up to my room and am shocked to hear him knock on the door of the washroom where I am sitting  by the toilet purging the coffee and the cupcake, feeling my head spin at top speed and my eyes watering due to the choking and gagging reflexes. 

When I am at last satisfied with the contents I have purged, making sure that nothing was left in my stomach, I get up from the crème tiled floor, swaying on my feet as I shoot up.

 I, with immense difficulty, manage to maneuver myself to the sink and by this time the world is spinning torturously fast. Splashing cold water onto my face, I make for the door which is a hazy brown object in my blurred vision; a hazy brown object that seems to be getting further and further away from me with every step I take; somehow from sheer muscle memory I fianlly reach it, and  after what seems like an eternity I open the door to a very worried looking Chase,

"Yrene, baby, what happened? I heard you throwing up, are you okay?" 

My head pounds as I nod and gave him a weak smile,

"I'm fine Chase, trust me." 

I feel his hands on either side of my face as he tries to peer into my dazed eyes; he tries to raise my face to his eye level but I am too weak to even move a muscle. 

I feel the world spin at full speed and then finally topple over, resulting in me falling  into his strong arms,

"YRENE! NO! BABY! PLEASE STAY WITH ME! IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT I PROMISE, JUST PLEASE DON'T BLACK OUT ON ME!"

 I gave him another watery smile and touch his stubbled cheek with my hand before it falls limp, trying to tell him I am fine but before I know it my eye-lids get too heavy to stay open and the universe goes black.

Chase's PoV 

As her hand falls limp and her eyes close, panic and fear grip onto me like never before. And when she loses consciousness all I can do is hold her in my trembling arms and stare at her with shock and confusion. 

What has happened? Why is my baby not replying to my hysteric questions? Why did her smile fade? Millions of such questions run through my mind at once as I shake her from the shoulders trying to get a response but to no avail.
