Migraine

Migraine:Chapter 1-April P.O.V

I was sat down on the hard, leather
chair, my hands shaking like crazy. I had been sitting in the waiting room for almost 3 hours and if I was in there for another 10 minutes, I was going to faint. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes,4 minu-
"April Summer"
A voice came from nowhere and jumped everyone in the room. At the door stood a young man with jet black hair and big blue eyes. His doctor coat was pure white and his smile was friendly and welcoming. He made me feel a slight bit calmer, and a bit more peaceful. My mum squeezed my hand and I squeezed her hand. She was here with me and I knew I was going to be alright.

We walked into another waiting room, and my heart rate went up by 2000. I felt like I could faint as soon as we walked in. All of the chair were in rows and about 40 people were waiting. As soon as we sat down and young girl about 12 years old came out. She was crying and her eyes were red and puffy and a long mascara line went down her face . She ripped out her plaits and hugged her mum as she walked out. As soon as she was gone, the baby started to cry and a little 5 year old girl started to run and screaming that she didn't want to go.
I couldn't do this. My heart started to beat really fast and I felt really hot. My throat felt tight and I couldn't swallow. I needed water. Now. I turned to my mum and as calmly as I could asked for some water. She walked over to the water machine and placed 50p in. She filled the cup and came over to me. As soon as she gave it to my I drank as much as I could. It made me feel so much better and I no longer felt hot. I took a huge breath and smiled at my mum.
"April Summer"
It was my turn. 'Okay' I told myself' Your going to be alright. It is nothing. I probably just have a little cold.'

Doctors room are normally horrible. The are cold and dull and have two small chairs for family to sit on. It's full of boring posters and grey walls.
But this one was different. It was warm and light and has fairy lights over the pin board. The board has full of posters, most of them are advertising popstars and concerts-Earth,Wind and Fire,Take that,Bullet from my Valentine and so on. The walls were a baby blue colour and there are 4 comfy white sofas. The sofas had black furry cushions and the carpet was a golden cream colour. I felt a bit calmer seeing it. It made me feel quite happy and I even managed to break a smile.
"Sorry"the doctor said, pointing toward the posters" I wanted to make my room a bit different. You know, with the sofas and the lights! I did it myself. Well they wouldn't do it if anyone helped. Spent tons of money of it" he laughed" Come, sit down."
I sat down on one of the sofas with my mum.
"My name is Dr Brown. Do you like it?? The room. I made it so people feel a little bit calmer. Plus, I hate all the other rooms. They are so boring. And I have spend tons of money on the heating!"
"I love it." I reply" It is so comfy and warm and welcoming" I smile.
"Well I'm glad. So time to do business. You say you feel ill all the time. Can you please tell me some effects you think might be happening because of this illness."
"Well, I either feel full or really hungry. I never feel in between. And I always throwing up. Sometimes I feel like I want to die and sometimes I feel fine."
"Oh..."he said." Um, can you lay on this bed please?"
I went over to the bed and felt like I was about to throw up. The bed was super comfy but had two blue sheets on. Dr Brown came over with a massive needle. Okay it wasn't that big, but it had a sharp point and it shone when the sun reflected.
"Okay, this is going to hurt, but your going have to be brave."
He stuck it right in my shoulder. I was so scared that I started to panic again. I couldn't breath and it felt like the needle had been in my shoulder for hours. I felt hot and cold all at the same time. I grabbed the edge of the bed but nothing helped. When the needle finally came out, I went to the window and took in all of the fresh, crisp air.
*
I turned around and I saw Dr Brown and my mum sitting together on the sofa. My mum was crying,looking at the needle scale.
"What?" I said,sitting beside my mum on the sofa and holding her hand."What is it?"
"Um.."said Dr Brown."April, you have migraine..."
I suddenly fell to the ground. I could only just hear my mum and Dr Brown. There voices were muffled as if they were ages away. I was half awake because I heard. And I could also think. All I could think was-I had migraine.

Migraine is a horrible disease that most people die from. It makes you feel worse then you have ever felt. It is worse then Ebola, it's worse then the plague even. It makes you cough up blood and can give you cancer. But some days you feel fine. It is every two days. So one day you will feel crap, the next you will feel normal. That's the worse thing. If you want to do anything, you have to do it on a day you don't feel ill. It's like a planned thing that slaps you right around the face. It also catches really quickly. I was the only one how bad it in Bishops Stortford. But I knew soon everyone was going to have it...
