Realistic or Modern I need more than your Photograph

Max woke up a bit later and came out frowning when she saw Joe face down on the couch "Joe? Darling are you okay?" She asked as she quickly went to kneel next to him rubbing his back gently "Whats wrong?" She asked as he looked at her.

 

[decadent-rider]

He groaned a little and just managed to mumble that he needed a bucket, his head pounding while she grabbed it and brought it over, immediately retching into it. “This is worse than… food poisoning.” He groaned, chucking up again starting to feel like he was overheating.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned and quickly got him a bucket when he asked. She felt his head and rushed to get him a cool towel placing it on his head "Do I need to take you to a hospital?" She asked worriedly completely scared now that he may have the big sick.

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head and just leaned back trying to calm his stomach. “No puking is not a symptom.” He mumbled closing his eyes and managing to calm a little under the cool towel

 

[Forever6A7X]

She frowned deeply but gave a small nod and dabbed at his head and cheeks "Alright, let me get you some water okay? Strip down to your boxers if you need to." She murmured before getting up and grabbing him a glass of water along with a fan just in case he needed it.

 

[decadent-rider]

He was trying to kick his trousers off, pulling off his shirt as well and just lay there staring at the wall. “I don’t feel good babe.” He grumbled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max helped him with the trousers before she plugged the fan in and turned it on. She gave a small nod continuing to dab at his face "You don't look good babe, you're very pale." She murmured "I'm gonna get my thermometer, if you're over 100,you're going to the hospital." She said seriously before she got up to go to her bathroom

 

[decadent-rider]

“No! I’m gonna get covid if I go there. I’m a smoker… it won’t be good.” He groaned, chucking up into the bucket again and just held it to him, shivering a little as he kept getting hot flushes then going cold again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more but gave a heavy sigh "Joe if you keep puking you'll need fluids through an IV." She called before coming back out to him. She stayed with him like that for three days until she finally got him convinced to go to the hospital. She helped him inside and gave a deep frown when security ushered her out after he was seated "Hey! Hey no you let me stay with him! He's allowed one visitor!"

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned not having the strength at this point to argue for her to stay, just watching them take her out until they called him back and he shuffled through to the room, only realising once they had admitted him for extreme dehydration that his phone was still in her coat pocket.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more as they took her out and kept an eye to not let her back in. She went and sat in her car thankful for the heat finally starting to leave that she didn't need her AC going.

 

[decadent-rider]

They called her later on to let her know they would be keeping him at least overnight for observation and that she would get a call when he could be picked up.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max thanked them as they called but refused to leave. Though soon she was forced to leave by Security again. It was another four days before they called her to come pick him up. She was scared to death thinking her had caught the big sick. She just wanted him home and in her arms .

 

[decadent-rider]

He had finally been given the all clear to go home with some medications and was now sat outside in some scrubs, shivering a little having lost around 20% of his body weight in such a short space of time, finally seeing her pull up and went over to the car, getting in, “home. Please.” He mumbled a little freaked out still as well at how serious it had gotten

 

[Forever6A7X]

She sped up there well over the speed limit to make sure to get to him. She frowned deeply at how slim he had gotten and gave a small nod "Home it is." She said quietly before she sped off. She got them home amd helped him up to her place thankful there was an elevator. She got him inside and to their room making him lay down before she stripped him of the scrubs helping him into comfy clothes "Did they fifure out what it was?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He just nodded and frowned a bit. “Uh… gastroenteritis… worst case they’d seen in several years apparently…. Mixed with stomach ulcers…. They uh… yeah.” He mumbled, just reaching for her. “You wanna take a nap with me?” He asked her quietly. “I got instructions on what I can eat… meds… everything… I just wanna sleep with you though.” He mumbled frowning a bit and just looking she’ll shocled

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned more and gave a small nod "Will your need surgery for the ulcers?" She asked quietly as she stripped out of her sweats and was now only in one of his shirts. "Yes of course I'll nap with you. Do I need to get you anything to eat if its not here?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head and lifted his shirt to show her the stitches. “Already done…. They don’t want people in there very long.” He mumbled, “show you the list later.” He mumbled resting his head back and pulled her in close, holding her tightly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

She frowned deeply inspecting the stitches. She kissed him lovingly before cuddling him gently making sure to not hit his stomach. She didn't want to let him go, scared that if she did he would be gone. She stroked his cheek gently taking a deep breath "I was so scared that I had lost you..." she whispered before letting a few tears fall.

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head and gently placed his hand over hers. “I’m not going anywhere sweetheart.” He promised, starting to drift off to sleep, still feeling all out of sorts

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded softly staring at him for a bit longer before she too fell asleep. She had slept for shit these past few nights without him there and she was just happy to have him back

 

[decadent-rider]

He was up and down a little over the next couple weeks, not sure where to begin after the chaos he had experienced but finally he seemed to be getting back to himself and he wandered out to the kitchen after a lie in, finding max editing photos at the dining table, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and burying his face into her hair. “Mmm only a few more weeks then back to work. You excited?” He asked her quietly

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily and nodded as she relaxed into him a bit. She was so happy to have him back to feeling somewhat normal again. She leaned back and pecked up his chin smiling more "So excited. I can't wait to see you in your element again." She murmured before she saved her edit and closed her laptop "So why were you jamming Metallica last night? Not that I have a problem with metal, I quite enjoy it, but you don't beg me as a metal guy." She teased before turning in her little chair to face him "You owe me a song by the way, practice that guitar here and driving me crazy, I definitely deserve a song."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled and kissed her head "Mmm... Not now love, once the deed is done though you can have all the guitar you want." He promised her, going to get some juice from the kitchen and then to sit back at the table, opening his own laptop to go through some e-mails. "You wanna go get McDonalds drive-thru?" He asked her seeing that it was open again on an ad on google "That would be a good outing." He smiled tiredly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily and nodded some "Oh fine, but it better be worth all the secrecy." She teased before kissing the top of his head while going to get herself something to drink "Oooo I could do with some Mcdonalds fries." She said walking back out to him "I love you."
