Ryder's stomach hurt, not like a normal stomachache though. It just hurt, which was weird. He didn't feel like he was going to throw up or anything, but it hurt. Ryder really wished now that he hadn't eaten that pork he made himself. Maybe that was it. On the other hand, was wasn't he having nausea? Just pain?
Ryder didn't know if this was normal or not, but all knew was that it hurt a lot. And sure enough he blamed himself for making and eating all the pork there was.
He laid on the couch and it started to hurt more. He put his plate of pork on the table and just lied there. He started to groan, it was hurting really bad. Ryder just wanted the pain to stop. He grasped onto his stomach, even though doing that made the pain even worse.
Lennox walked into the room and just gave Ryder weird looks, she probably just wanted Ryder to stop his complaining. "It's your fault for eating the pork, that wasn't completely cooked." Lennox said and Ryder sighed, heavily. It really hurt.
"I really don't feel good." Ryder said.
"Sorry, but I have better things to worry about. I have to figure out how to get Austin and Mel out of the picture and Joe and Mel into the picture." Lennox said, focusing on relationships, not paying any attention to her brother.
Lennox had talked to Joe before and he was now in the living room with both Lennox and Ryder, but poor Ryder couldn't pay any attention; he was in too much pain.
"What's wrong with him?" Joe asked Lennox.
"He just ate something he made. Probably made it toxic." Lennox said. "Don't worry, he will be fine."
"Ryder, what's wrong?" Joe asked him, ignoring Lennox's previous words and advice.
"I don't feel good." Ryder replied.
"Look, go throw up in the bathroom if you need to. We'll be back." Lennox said.
"I don't feel like that kind of sick to my stomach. It just—it just hurts." Ryder said and that was when Joe became really concerned. He didn't feel good, but only pain. No nausea?
"Where?" Joe asked and Lennox sighed, she didn't care about Ryder at the moment. She just wanted to get Joe and her aunt together.
"Right here." Ryder said, pointing to his lower abdomen. Joe had a feeling about what was wrong with Ryder, and it wasn't good. He walked over to him and felt Ryder's forehead and he felt warm; very warm. He was probably running a fever.
Ryder then put his hand over to place Ryder said was hurting. "Does it hurt when I press down on it? Like put pressure on it?" Joe asked as he did so and Ryder yelled out in pain. He nodded quickly, it really hurt.
"Ow, ow, ow. Joe! It really hurts!" Ryder screamed.
"Stop being a baby, you're fine. It's just the magic of your cooking." Lennox said, she had no idea what was actually going on with her brother.
"Lennox, trust me, it's not the pork. That didn't make him sick. This is something else and it isn't good." Joe said, he knew exactly what Ryder had.
"Ow! Please, make it stop!" Ryder pleaded, it hurt so bad.
"I know buddy, just hold on." Joe said, grabbing a blanket.
"Joe, are you sure we can't just come back?" Lennox asked, hoping that was an option. She was still focusing on the whole Joe, Mel, and Austin love triangle. But everyone didn't really care about that.
"Lennox, you're going to have to help me." Joe said and Lennox sighed. "We need to get your brother to the hospital, I'll explain on the way." Joe said and Lennox didn't understand what was so wrong with Ryder that they needed to go to the hospital?
"What do I need to do?" Lennox asked, wondering what she had to help with.
"I need you to help me get him off the couch and into the car." Joe said and Lennox arched her eyebrow.
"Why? I think he can get to the car on his own if a few minutes ago he could gobble down that pork like he was in some kind of eating contest." Lennox said, but there was no way Ryder could walk with what he had at the moment.
"Lennox, he can't walk. No right now, it wouldn't be good at all." Joe said and Lennox sighed, but then the two of them carefully got Ryder to his feet and in their own way, got him into the car. Lennox got in the back with him, while Joe started to drive towards the hospital.
"What's going on Joe?" Lennox asked.
"Whats—wrong with me?" Ryder asked, struggling as the pain started to get even worse and worse.
"Ryder, you have appendicitis." Joe told them.
To Be Continued…..
