Chapter 14: Behind the Scenes

Rory clutched the toilet, her eyes watering as she vomited for the fourth time. She didn’t understand what was making her sick. She slumped against the wall, sweat drenching her face.

The door opened, and a nervous looking brunette shuffled in, Rachel behind her.

Rachel’s cell was pressed against her ear. “Terry let me call you back. My sister is sick… Yes, I told you I have a sister. Oh my God, just turn on your television and you’ll see for yourself.” She hung up the phone and glared at Rory. “Jesus, Rory we’re on in five, what are you doing?”

“Just taking a morning vomit break,” Rory muttered.

Rachel rolled her eyes and looked at the brunette. “Linda, get her some ginger ale.” The woman nodded and quickly ran out of the bathroom. “And a mint!”.

“I guess I’m just nervous,” Rory said, ripping off some toilet paper.

“Bullsh*t,” Rachel said. “You don’t get nervous.”
