"Eugh." Pacey winced as his stomach emptied into the small basin, his head pounding like a war drum.
This new chemo was a bitch, definitely stronger than his last round, hitting him almost immediately after it was administered.
Joey came back at that moment, a cold cloth in her hand as she stepped back up to the bed. Pressing the cloth into the back of his neck she slid on the bed, combing her fingers through his sweat disheveled hair. "I talked to the nurse. There going to get you some anti-nausea medicine and bring in some ginger ale and crackers."
"Thank you." Pacey breathed, leaning his sweaty head against his arm.
"Of course." Joey bit her lip, she was thankful his back was to her, watching his face sour as the chemo took hold make her sick. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
"Now whose lying?" Pacey muttered tiredly leaning back against her shoulder, burying his face into her neck. "You can admit it Jo…I look as bad as I feel."
Stroking his cheek she cringed. "Its temporary Pace…to get you better."
His eyes drifted shut as he leaned more into her shoulder, his body getting heavy as he slowly slipped into dreamland. "When's that gonna be?"
Laying back with him she curled her arms around him, cradling his head as it fell more into her chest. "Soon hopefully." Joey sighed, stroking his hair, her own eyes drifting closed as the exhaustion set in.
Read and review…if you want more. Sorry for the shortness but I didn't want to tarnish this moment between the two. Going for a longer chapter for the next one.
