Linda woke up the next morning with a sharpe pain in her stomach and couldn't really move that well due to it. This didn't go unnoticed by Zoe who noticed her friend in a lot of pain. Zoe felt Linda's head and she was boiling. Zoe sat with Linda for a while and then made her comfortable but Linda only wanted to get up again. Linda was shaking as she got up and got some always towels for periods out of her bag and went to the toilets. Zoe stood outside just in case Linda lost her balance and fell. Linda came back out and Zoe walked her back to bed.
"Zoe", Linda said weakly.
"Yes", Zoe replied.
"Go have fun I'll be fine on my own", Linda said.
Zoe didn't really want to leave Linda as she couldn't stand up due to period pains. She looked at Linda falling asleep and sighed. She text Nick and met him outside the hotel.
"No Linda today", Nick asked.
"She's ill", Zoe replied.
"Is it because of the rape", Nick asked.
"No she's on her monthly", Zoe replied.
"Oh", Nick replied.
"Need painkillers", Zoe said.
Nick got some paracetamol out of his pocket and broke a whole two lines off and gave it to Zoe so she could give one or two to Linda a little later. Nick and Zoe walked along the beach and then sat together but Zoe kept looking to her right because it felt weird without Linda being there as it was Linda's idea to come to Spain. Zoe and Linda were going to watch the entertainment tonight but now as Linda's ill they aren't.
"Zoe", Nick said.
"Yeah", Zoe replied.
"I love you", Nick said.
"Nick I can't", Zoe replied.
"Why not", Nick asked.
"I'm dating a man called Max his a porter at Holby ED", Zoe replied.
"Oh", Nick replied.
Zoe felt bad for letting Nick down but she loves Max and that's why she brought a special postcard for him. Nick and Zoe hugged and then went their separate ways which turned out the same way as they both went into the shop. Zoe brought herself and Linda a cheese roll while Nick brought a drink of water.
"See you tomorrow maybe", Nick said.
"Yeah", Zoe replied.
Zoe went up to her room where Linda was asleep, she smiled at her friend and ate her roll leaving Linda's on the bed. Linda woke up and looked at the roll and then at Zoe eating hers. Linda then ate the roll and laid back down and chucked the covers off.
"You too hot", Zoe asked.
"Yes", Linda replied.
Zoe gave Linda the paracetamol and a bottle of water and Linda then laid down again waiting for the paracetamol to work. Zoe sat on her bed and smiled at Linda.
