It was nearing six o'clock, which would make it the second hour since Marissa's been hanging onto the toilet bowl, throwing up what little she'd eating today. She didn't want to be found like this when anyone came home, half laying on the bathroom floor, but she couldn't find the strength to move. That, and her stomach was still churning. The most Mari could do was slide from over the toilet to the ground, holding her stomach. Even if she could muster up the energy to move back to the toilet, nothing would come up anymore. She was just dry heaving at this point.

Kavi came into the apartment with MinKyon, having brought her to get ice cream after doing well in her swimming class. "Daddy! I can' wait to go tomorrow! It was so much fun!" She chattered to her daddy excitedly. Kavi smiled, leading her to her room before trying to find Marissa. Where are you..? He wondered to himself, finally finding her curled up on the bathroom floor. He furrowed his eyebrows, "Mari..?" He began, eyebrows furrowed. He went next to her and put a comforting hand on her back. "Are you okay...?" He asked her.

Silently cursed to herself quietly, trying to sit up when she heard Kavi and Kyon walk into the apartment. It didn't go over to well, and she curled back up with a tiny groan. When she heard Kavi's question, and felt his hand on her back, she shook her head, hot tears now filling her eyes. "My stomach..." She whimpered quietly.

"Are you sick?" Kavi asked her curiously, rubbing her back gently. "Do you want me to get you some medicine or something?" He offered, worried for his girlfriend.

Marissa shook her head, and then nodded, finally ending with a tiny groan. "I don't know what it is." She whispered, slowly moving so that she was sitting up, her back resting against the wall. "I woke up this morning and threw up, and every time I try to eat something it comes right back up." All Mari wanted to do at this point was curl into Kavi's arms and stay there, but she knew that wouldn't be possible.

Kavi furrowed his eyebrows with worry as he leaned against the wall of the bathroom, legs tucked up as he rested his chin on them. "Look, I'll call Akio to watch Kyon, I think I should take you to the hospital, just in case something's wrong, ok? Akio's supposed to be heading home soon anyway, so it won't be too much trouble." He suggested.

Marissa wasn't even sure if she could move, hence the reason she had been laying on the floor the last couple hours, though she nodded in agreement anyway. She whispered a soft "alright," tucking her head in between her knees. Anything to stop the churning in her her stomach.

Kavi nodded, letting his hand drag along her back in comfort as he went into the hallway and called his twin brother. "Hey... Akio? Can you come home a bit early? Mari is sick and I need you to watch... Yeah... okay, thanks so much bro." He said, trying to figure out what he could do while he waited for Akio to get home. He grabbed a heating pad from the hall closet and brought it to Marissa, plugging it in and turning it on. "Here, maybe this will help a bit." He suggested, placing it on her stomach. "If it does, we can bring it into the car too." He said awkwardly, simply trying to lighten the mood.

Once Kavi left the bathroom, Marissa slid back into a laying position, wrapping her arms around her stomach. It was starting to settle down a bit, but she didn't trust that feeling. The same thing had happened earlier and she was back over the toilet two minutes later. Keeping her eyes closed, Mari listened for Kavi's return, only opening them when she felt the heating pad on her stomach. Offering a weak nod, Marissa looked up at Kavi with sad eyes. "I'm sorry you had to come home to this..."

Kavi smiled to her, "Hey, don't worry. Everyone gets sick at some point." He assured her, returning to rubbing a comforting hand on her back. "I just want to make sure everything's okay." He added. Not too much time passed before they heard the door open and Akio come in. "I'll be back," He murmured to Marissa before going to his brother. "Hey, is everything okay?" Akio asked Kavi, glancing past him and towards the bathroom. "Yeah, Marissa's just sick, I was going to take her to the hospital." Kavi explained. Akio nodded, then looked towards MinKyon's room. "Is she sleeping?" He asked, pointing towards the little girl's door. "I don't think so... She probably just found something fun to do. She still needs a bath." Kavi explained before the brothers went their separate ways and Kavi returned to Marissa's side. "You ready to go?" He asked her, leaning down next to her again. "Did you want to bring the heating pad with you?"

Marissa nodded miserably, holding the heating pad closer to her stomach. She nodded again when he said he'd be back, sighing lightly and closing her eyes. She wasn't too sure what it was wrong with her, but she was almost sure whatever it was hadn't been brought on by some bug or food. She just hoped it wasn't anything too serious. Opening her eyes when Kavi returned, she whispered a yes and stood with a little difficulty, so as not to get dizzy from being on the floor for so long. Marissa tugged the cord out of the wall, holding the still warm heating pad in her hands. "Yeah...I'm ready."

"Come on," Kavi muttered, leading her out to the car. He waved to brother as he passed him, mouthing a "later." He was letting Marissa put all her weight on him if she so please, trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. "I'll let you control the air and heating on the way. And if you need me to pull over, just say so, okay?" He told her as they neared his car.

Nodding at his instructions was the most Marissa could do, focusing most of her energy on stay up, even though she was leaning against him. Having never been sick before, her parents had made sure she stayed perfectly healthy, this was a brand new experience for her. Not to mention she'd been on the ground throwing up for 2 hours straight, her body was weak and she was exhausted. Finally, when they made it to the car Marissa climbed in, using one hand to hold the heating pad against her, her head falling against the back of the seat. She hated feeling like this.

Kavi shut Marissa's door for her once she got in the car, then moved over and set up the car adapter to plug in the heating pad. "There we go..." He muttered to her with a weak smile as he started up the car and began heading towards the hospital. Once they got there, he helped her out of the car and into the emergency room, helping Marissa sit down before going to the front desk. He explained to the front desk what was wrong, and then returned to Marissa. "You okay?" He asked her, a hand once again on her back, rubbing it comfortingly.

Far too soon the car ride was over and Marissa was being helped out of the car and into the hospital. Once Kavi returned to her side, she curled against him, closing her eyes and nodding slowly. Her stomach was starting to feel better, though her body was still weak from throwing everything up and, although it was churning as bad, her stomach still hurt from the throwing up as well.
