She laid down, exhausted, and fell asleep

Nate laid down with her, holding her close.

Dakota slept uneasily

Nate stayed awake, holding her.

Dakota rolled over, whimpering in her sleep

Nate stayed close, but not touching her now as she'd rolled away from him.

Dakota woke a little later, running to the bathroom and throwing up. She sighed, slumped against the wall. "I hate myself..." she muttered

Nate ran after her, sitting with her through it all. "Honey, dont say that," he whispered. "Here, take some more of that medicine,"

She nodded and took it, the pain familiar now.

Nate stayed by her side, comforting her.
