WAKE UP

12

I awoke to my stomach growling, along with sharp pains in my head.

I sighed, putting my hand up to my head, forgetting I had a cloth on it.

I opened my eyes, but, immediately closed them.

The lights in the room were too bright and they made them hurt terribly.

The strong smell of disinfectant cleaners filled my nose, causing my headache to gain power as the seconds passed by.

I forced myself to sit up and open my eyes again, the cloth falling from my head onto my lap.

I only squinted, so I could only see to the end of my feet.

"Morning sleepy head." I heard someone say, joyfully.

I couldn't find it in me to reply, plus I couldn't see where it was coming from, so I laid back down.

The more I thought, I realized it had been Beastboy who spoke.

I grabbed the cloth and placed it back on my head.

He came around the couch, and sat a steaming bowl on the coffee table.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, setting a spoon beside the bowl.

"Peachy." I tried to sit up, but I needed his support.

He put an arm around my back as he helped me into a sitting position.

"Can I get a serious answer?" he asked again.

"My head hurts really bad." I said in anger.

"I bet. Here," he went to hand me the bowl. "You have to eat something."

I went to take it, realizing how shaky my hands are.

I'm guessing it had something to do with my lack of food.

My anxiety arose as I took the bowl.

I didn't want to eat.

Not at all.

But I knew he wouldn't give up that easily.

I finally took the spoon, and put some on my mouth.

"How much have you been eating lately Rae?" he asked.

I just shrugged, and put another spoon full of soup in my mouth.

"You need to eat more." he stated seriously.

Ha.

Really?

I do... huh?
