By the time we reached the hotel where Tommy had registered, I knew something was wrong. The nausea I had felt in the alley way earlier exploded through my system like a bad train wreck. Because of the circumstances, Tommy had had the foresight to rent two adjoining rooms—one room had twin beds, a couch, and a bathroom while the other had only one bed and a bathroom—and while it wasn't as luxurious as we had gotten used to, it was worth every penny. Running ahead of the group, I entered the bigger room and shoved myself into the bathroom before I hurled. Gasping as I held my stomach, I sat down uncomfortably next to the toilet. I could hear Tommy enter the room behind me, and I tried desperately to straighten up when another wave hit me head on.
"Jude? Are you alright?" He asked softly before walking into the room without even asking me if it was okay. I just peered up at him miserably. He quirked a brow in concern.
"That man didn't hurt you did he? Is your rib okay?" He asked in concern as I leaned over the toilet again. He stepped up behind me and held back my hair as I groaned in agony.
"I guess it must have been all that smoke in the bar." I said with a shrug as I felt the pains ease off a little. Tommy smiled sympathetically as he handed me a bottle of mouth wash, his tooth brush, and some toothpaste. I looked at him thankfully as I took the items from him.
"Could have been the stress of today, too." He said helpfully. "I hear that can do that to people." He finished as he walked out into the other room to get me a towel.
"Now, go take a shower and relax." He said with a small kick to my behind as I grinned at him before leaning over the sink to brush my teeth. Things were going to be alright now. I just knew it. Another wave of nausea hit as I breathed in slowly. Oh, I hoped it would anyway.
