Chapter 12 ~ Car Sick.

Sam looked out the window trying to supress the growing nausia in the pit of her stomache. She stared out the window and gripped both of the seats in front of her. Jed was looking out his window and Arthur was carring on a conversation wiht the man driving. They took a sharp turn and Sam moaned. Jed looked over at her. "Sam are you okay? You look like you're gonna be sick."

"I'm fine." She said tight lipped. Then another bout of nausia hit her. She was not going to be fine. "I need to get out of the car." She said looking straight ahead.

"We'll be there in an hour or so sweety. Can you hold on?" It was the driver that spoke, he had a nice soothing southern accent.

But she shook her head, then stopped when it made the nausia worse. " I need out now." she said weakly.

Jed put a hand on her knee in a form of comfort, it didn't help. They pulled off the highway onto the shoulder and Jed jumped out. Sam moved toward the door then without any grace what-so-ever fell out of the truck landing on her hands and knees, at which point she puked.

She sat up on her knees and wipped her mouth with the back of her shaking hand. "Does anyone have water?"

Jed handed her a bottle and she poured some into her mouth and then spit it out. Then she took a swallow. She took a few deep breaths and looked up at Jed. He had a stomache of steel and the bile in front of Sam didn't bother him. "Can you help me up?" She asked, She didn't trust herself to stand up and not fall. He took her upper arms and lifted her with ease.

He led her towards the back of the truck and held her as she steadied herself. "Are you okay?"

She nodded slightly, "Just a little car sick."

"Hey!" It was the wifeless man, "Is she gonna be okay if she gets back in the car? We need to get on the road."

Jed looked at Sam who shrugged. Jed looked back at the man, "If she goes in the front seat she should be fine."

The man nodded and they all got back into the truck. Jed helped Sam into the front seat, then slid into the middle backseat, the man after him.
