Beautiful (Ariana/You)

Chapter 35

I woke up with a feeling I had never experienced before. I had an odd feeling in my stomach. I touched my forehead, and it was soaking wet. I sat up and saw there was wetness on my pillow where my head was.

"Baby, you okay?" I heard Ariana mumble.

"Uh, I don't think so." I said.

She sat up and looked at me.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she reached over to turn on the lamp beside her.

"I don't know." I said.

"Baby, you're sweating. Do you feel okay?" She said.

"My fucking stomach." I said as the pain worsened.

I felt a feeling in my throat, and I knew something wasn't right. I quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I kneeled in front of the toilet and felt something come up.

"Luke!" I heard Ariana shout.

"No, I don't want to do this." I said.

"You have to. You're gonna feel better once you do." Ariana said coming into the bathroom.

Ariana grabbed my hair and held it up, and I immediately threw up.

"Oh shit." Luke said as he walked in.

I grabbed onto the wall and Ariana's knee.

"It's okay, I'm right here." She said.

"This is not fun." I said as I felt tears stream down my face.

I felt the feeling again and more came out.

"What's happening?" Roy asked.

"She's throwing up." Imani said.

After what felt like eternity, I finally had nothing left in my stomach. I rolled over and laid on the cold ground.

"Can someone get her a water?" Ariana asked. "And a towel."

Luke disappeared and reappeared with a towel and water. He handed them to Ariana. She placed the water on the floor. Ariana wiped my mouth with the towel.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. But you need to drink this." Ariana said opening the water.

She held it to my lips, and I took a sip.

"Dude, you threw up all the blood you had last night." Roy said.

"I know that, Roy. It came back up through my mouth." I said.

"Do you wanna go get back in bed?" Ariana asked.

"No, I'm just gonna get up for the day. I need to know what's wrong with me." I said.

"Okay." She said.

I tried to sit up, but I was a little weak. Luke walked over and picked me up.

"I gotta clean up my mess." I said.

"No you don't. Just shower. I'll clean it up." Ariana said.

"No, I'm not gonna let you clean that up. That's gross." I said.

"It's not gross to me. I love you." Ariana said.

"Okay." I said quietly.

"And you threw...up?" Dad asked.

I was at the new house the council had purchased to be close to me. Along with their best physicians.
