Chapter 25

Sorry it's not long, but I've really come to conclusion that I can't write long posts because I get bored, this is the best I can do for now. I'll post every few days, and I'll try my best to keep it at this length Inshallah.

Thanks for everyone's support, I know I've been a crappy writer for you guys :(

Previously:

By 10:45, I was asleep, completely forgetting to set an alarm for 6:30am..

--

I woke up to loud bangs at the door. My body felt like it was broken everywhere, I was freezing but felt like I was in a sauna..

I rolled over huffing, trying to place my hand from under the blanket to my phone to check the time.

8:09am.

As soon as I began to panic, remembering Talal and I were supposed to meet at 7 am! I rolled over again, attempting to jump out of bed, call Talal and just meet with him.. no regrets.

But as soon as I rolled over again, I felt dizzy and noxious, my head swung itself to the side of the bed, legs flew to the ground and I magically carried myself to the bathroom where I vomited all over the floor. 

I fell to my knees, too weak to carry myself up anymore.

I heard the loud and hard banging on my door again. My mind was jumping to all sorts of conclusions, like a raged Talal, or a Talal with an emergency. Little did I know, it was none of the above, and no one I expected this morning. 

.........: OPEN THE DOOR EMILY, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.. 

Gerard. 

Oh god.

What am I supposed to say now?

I crawled, drewling spit, back to my bed where I reached for my phone.. With all my energy, I found Talal's number in my recent calls list and dialed.. While it rang, I crawled back into the bathroom hiding behind the door, feeling the vomit come back.

He didn't answer the first time, but I didn't give up.

Second call, he answered right before it closed.

I could barely speak. 

Dalal: Ta-Talal. 

I continued vomiting, not taking into consideration Talal who was on the phone with me because I knew it was just him..

Talal: Why are you vomiting??? Wainich??

I spit whatever I had left in me, and spoke as fast as I could.

Dalal: Talal, meet me in Retro Morning in 10 minutes.

I hung up, just like that. I couldn't speak anymore, and I needed to deal with the animal that was still at my door..

I made sure to NOT wipe my lips that were filled with vomit and spit, and crawled the door, then used the handle to pull me up while I shivered from the cold touch of the door knob.
