Runaway

Salty pancakes(EDITED)

Previously on Runaway...

When we're done we dry ourselves with the towels and get dressed for bed, it feels like it's been a short day but my muscles are sore so I really do want to sleep.

So that's exactly what I do, I climb into bed with Kai. And fall asleep faster than a sleepy little puppy.

I wake up feeling an uneasy stirring in my stomach, and I know what's going to happen. I'm going to throw up again, I don't understand this. I thought it stopped, how bad is this illness?

I know I'm not pregnant so what else can it be?

I ease myself out of bed like I always do and throw up whatever I've eaten in the last 24 hours, and trust me I ate a lot so it's not pretty.

I've been hiding this from Kai because I know he'd take me to the pack doctor, and I don't need to go! I probably just have the flu or something.

When I'm finally finished I gargle some mouth wash and spray a special masking scent spray on everything in the room; trying to cover up the gross smell.

I wash my hands and brush my teeth, nothing else is dirty so I'm ready.

By the time I come out of the bathroom all want for sleep is ruined, I never feel like going to sleep after I've been sick. Which is incredibly irritating, since I'm sick every morning now.

So instead I sit in our bed and play with Kai's hair whilst he sleeps, I see him unconsciously lean into my touch. Which makes my heart break that I'm hiding this from him, what if it's a disease and I'm going to die?!

But what if I don't tell him so one day I just collapse and die instantly, he won't know what happened to me. Again a painful tightening constricts my chest, no! I'll tell him when I find out myself what's wrong with me.

"How long have you been awake babe?" Kai murmurs to me his tired voice full of concern, great now I feel bad for waking him up I can't win!

"Oh not long maybe 5 minutes," I say convincingly. I'm such a liar I've been up for hours, I got up at 6 and now it's half 10.

"Why do you feel... sad and confused love?" He asks me, starting to properly wake up and sit next to me. Shit! I forgot he can feel my feelings through our link, I'll have to be more careful from now on.

"I was just thinking about... spoons!" I say quickly closing off both the links between us, so he can't hear my thoughts or feel my feelings.

"Why are you thinking about spoons?" He asks looking at me with an unimpressed face, he obviously doesn't believe me.

"I don't like the roundness of them," I carry on anyway. Even if I know I'm only fooling myself, he can always tell when I'm lying.

But if he knows he doesn't question my story, he just suggests breakfast the thought of food make my stomach churn but I nod anyway.

Kai's P.O.V

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why the fuck is she lying to me?!
