Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

It was still dark outside when Melissa opened her eyes. The migraine that was brewing inside her head the night before finally exploded. Her right temple was pounding like a drum. She sat down slowly on her bed, placing her index and middle finger on her right temple, feeling her veins pulsating underneath them. For a moment she felt dizzy and had to wait a little to find balance. Sitting down completely on her bed she slipped her feet inside the white fluffy slippers that she always had on the floor next to her bed. She felt her neck and realized that she was drenched. Turning around to see the peach silk sheets soaked with her sweat. She took of her pj's and slipped on a grey satin nightgown. Walking towards the mirror and sitting down on the white chair in front of it. She took two ibuprofens from the pill case and served a glass of water to drink with the pills.
