His head was spinning, his vision blurry, and he sank to the floor, unable to stay on his feet anymore.
The knocking of his knees against the marble floor made a little thudding sound. Soft, but it echoed in the quiet corridor. He tried to stay conscious, at the very least, but his body seemed to betray him by getting even weaker. The pain of his gastritis eventually became unbearable, and Edem thought he could hear his mother's voice.
"Remember to eat on time."
He was pretty sure it was already evening, and he hadn't had anything to eat since his quick dinner the other night. With all the complicated thoughts of his Ancient Runes readings, he hadn't really been able to eat properly. His appetite seemed to have vanished into thin air. Unable to open his eyes, Edem fell unconscious to the floor.
Lucille herd a dull thud and from the corner of her eye, thought that she saw Edem slump to the floor. Her eyes opened in shock as everyone crowed round him. She should go to him, she knew that she should, but she couldn't. He feet were glues to the floor and all kinds of horrible thoughts were running through her head. Edem was her best friend, he couldn't collaps! He wasn't allowed! He wasn't allowed to be ill, or hurt, or unconcious! What if he was - No, she wasn't allowing that thought into her head. No way.
She just stood there, hating herself and dumbstruck.

NO.
Just NO.
OMGSHHH.
OHEMGEEEEE.
"OMI. Ray? RAY. RAAAAY!"
Freakout Time.
Tammy took a deep breath and peered out from their hiding place and looked at the smoochy smoochy pair. "Uh.. Nurse. Now.." Even though she wasn't much of a nurse. Someone was neeeded. "Warren nurse. Lucille, food. Grab some food. He might not have eaten. Go on, quick."
She ordered it, ordered the pair of them. Not meanly. She was just being protective. Crouching down beside Ray, Tammy sighed. OHGOD. This didn't look fun. "Ray.. Please. Right, sit up. Tell me its a joke. And I wont get upset and cry. RAY!" She squealed at the end, and gave his face a light slap. Okay. So he wasn't faking.
She WAS NOT running in heels. No matter what teh doofus thought. HE was going.
"NOW WARREN, LUCILLE. NOW."
Food. Right. Food.
Lucille stared, blinking at Edem until Tammy's order pounded on the inside of her head. It was hard to remember how to function - she couldnt tear her eyes away from Ededm lying motionless on the floor.
FOODLUCILLEFOOD! Sort yourself out!
She grabbed Warrens bag and rumaged through it - good job he always had food on him. From the bottom she grapped the last of the packet of jelly beans and a big box of malteasers. She hardly noticed Warren running past her, and ran over to where Edem lay.
"Here," she said, throwing the food at Tammy. She bent over Edem and slid a hand under his head.
"You're going to be fine," she told him, more to convince herself, "
Its's ok, oh COME ON RAY!!" Quote:

Maybe his body was still trying after all, but lifting his eyelids open was harder than it seemed. The pain! He couldn't recall ever hurting so much physically. Then in between his conscious and unconsciousness he began to felt queasy--
Am I going to throw up? But there's nothing inside my stomach..
He heard screams. Panicked voices. There was Tammy and the guy's voice--
what's he doing calling my name?
And he couldn't hear Lucille. Whether it's because of shock that she couldn't even react or because she was mad, maybe, for being spied on, he didn't care. He hoped to hear her voice. Breathing deeply, Edem struggled to regain consciousness.
Then someone slapped his cheek.
"Ughh," he grunted. It was a hard blow, but thankfully, it helped. Blinking a few times to get rid of the fireflies, he used all his strength to sit up. More arguments. He shifted and leaned his back against the pillar. Warren yelled, and there were heavy footsteps dying away--might be Warren's. Edem was glad that he might probably have gone by the time he was able to speak again.
"Tammeh," he whispered,
"I don't like that guy."
Uh-oh. Random. But that wasn't for that Warren guy to hear anyway. Edem believed he was already gone, and those whispers were not for anyone else but Tammy to hear, and.. Despite the fact that he was half awake, he was being honest and sincere.
He was speaking! He was awake! OHTHANKGOODNESS!
Lucille breathed a sigh of relief. "
Ededm, are you ok?" she shot, "
What happened? Oh thankgod your ok, i was so - HEY! WHAT DO YO MEAN YOU DONT LIKE WARREN!"
Now he was ok, she felt free to be mad at him.
