Serenity

I was upset. Upset at the fact that I pushed Kai away this morning, and let grief take over me. What was up with me? I never got upset over things like that, at least not anymore. And poor Kai. I had pushed him out without even a proper goodbye, again, something I had never done before. I wasn't myself today.

"You're up early" The sudden sound of my mothers voice peeks into my ears. I turn around quickly like a child being taught stealing a cookie off a plate.

"Did you sleep down here?" Mother questioned, curiously. Observing my lack of unchanged clothes from the night before.

"Yeah," I lie quickly, heading for the stairs to avoid any conversation. I wasn't in the mood to talk. "I'll talk to you later mom. Have a good day at work" I say quickly, dismissing her with a quick wave before heading up the stairs.

Inside my bathroom I observe myself. My hair was wild, and bags began to appear due to lack of sleep. I take a quick whiff of myself and decide to shower. Quickly I run the shower, letting the water warm up before I hopped in. Once hot, I step in. Quickly washing my hair and my body and everything else that needed washing. After 5 short minutes I turn the water off, opening up the shower curtain and stepping out. Thankfully the rugs in my bathroom saved me from feeling the chill of the bathroom floor. I don't remove my towel from my body, because it gave me a satisfying sensation of warmth. I pull out my tooth brush, about to start brushing when the sudden red drops of blood began to fall from my face.

Was I bleeding?

Quickly looking up in the mirror I see it then. The massive nose bleed that was beginning to develop. I drop my toothbrush urgently, grabbing some tissue that was nearby and pulling it to my nose. I tilt my head back quickly, and apply pressure to my nose.

Odd.

I never get nosebleeds.

Suddenly faintness began to hit me like a brick, causing me to drop to the bathroom floor. I felt like I was going to pass out. Just as I was growing concern the bathroom door swung open.

"Serenity??" Luke says, quickly coming to my side in a heartbeat. "Hey are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a little dizzy that's all" My voice was shaky as the dizziness began to settle as quickly as it came.

"And your nose?"

"It just started to bleed out of nowhere" I clarify, finally coming to my feet after the nausea had finally passed.

The room suddenly felt stuffy. Maybe it was the heat from the shower, or maybe I was just overheating that caused the bleed.

"Should I take you to the hospital?" Luke questions, his voice in a pit of concern.

I shake my head quickly.

"Don't be ridiculous, it's just a little nose bleed , it's not like I'm dying or anything" I laugh at the thought. Playing off the concern with a smile as I turn back to Luke with dismissive eyes.
