A sickly feeling passed over Jack Jr. He sank back further into his seat and placed hand over his mouth. He felt like he was going to vomit, although he was determined not to. His disposition had crashed and he was feeling miserable. He tried to hide his face and keep looking outside so as not to attract attention.
"So, junior, are you doing anything tomorrow?" his father asked.
"Meeting Jenny." Jack muttered.
"Oh?" his father asked with a grin.
"She's a nice girl," Amanda chimed. "Where are you going?"
"The mall," Jack groaned. "She says she wants my input."
"That's not the way I though you would sound," he father said. "I thought you two were dating?"
"Taking it slow," Jack said.
The sickly feeling wasn't going away. Jack Jr. tried his best to hold it back as they ate dinner, but it was apparent. His parents were kind and perceptive, however, and they hurried things along. The drive back home was uneventful, although Jack continued to toy with the coin in his hand as he looked at his reflection. There was no need to flip a coin and pretend to be a comical villain, but he couldn't help but feel the impulse. He didn't want to look stupid in front of his parents, though, and he ultimately didn't flip the coin again.
His nausea dissipated when they arrived home, and he quickly went to his room. He had a journal that he would reflect on his goals in every now and then, sitting at his desk. Jack's year off school hadn't quite given him a direction he wanted to discover. Jenny was much more driven; she wanted to be a game designer. He was going to need to rest up early. He liked Jenny, but she had a tendency to linger whenever she shopped. They would probably be out together the whole day. As laid in bed at ten p.m., but sleep didn't come.
He tried his best to be still, but he felt strangely uncomfortable. Eventually, he got up, drank a glass of water, and stretched. Around midnight, he went to the bathroom. As he peed, he felt a strange feeling in his abdomen: a kind of pressure, which he passed off as his full bladder. He washed up and looked at himself once in the mirror.
"You're going to sleep," he declared. But his stomach rebelled, and the sickness returned. Jack wound up vomiting into the toilet, exhausting himself. Afterwards, he brushed his teeth once more an then stumbled into bed, collapsed, and fell asleep. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
