Stilinski Household: Upstairs Bathroom
Stiles sits on the floor of the bathroom, with his knees drawn up to his chest, one of his hands is pressed up against his left eye.
He lets out a sigh.
There's a throbbing pain in his left eye, as the result of his cluster headache.
He had taken some Ibuprofen earlier when it was only a headache causing him issues. But as the day progressed it got worse and he started having stomach pains.
He was glad it occurred when he was home and not at school or in the preserve.
The quiet, empty house was also a relief.
He decided to get up off the floor as throwing up has helped, but he knew that it wasn't over yet.
He walked out of the bathroom into the hallway and down the stairs towards the kitchen to grab a fresh ice pack for his headache.
He heads back up to his room and lays down on his bed.
He places the ice pack onto his pillow and lays on his left side placing his head on the ice pack.
As he rests in his bed, he thinks back to the time when his CVS was at its worst back when he first was diagnosed with it.
He was told by the doctor that his Adderall medication would worsen his CVS if he takes it when he has symptoms.
So during these episodes he wouldn't take his Adderall, he did try a different medication for his CVS but he stopped taking it a after a year.
Additionally, whenever he got an episode he would atleast throw up ten times before he even felt remotely better.
He was diagnosed with CVS back when he was ten years old, and now even when he is seventeen it still plagues him.
All of a sudden he gets a stomach pain, he slowly sits up and gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom.
Once he enters the bathroom he crouches down by the toliet placing his elbows and forearms on the toliet seat.
As he waits and see if he throws up.
This would be the third time during this episode he has thrown up.
As he feels the bile rush up his esophagus he lowers his head towards the toliet and throws up.
It was mainly stomach acid as he had already thrown up all his food he had eaten today.
The taste of the acid was sour in his mouth, as he finshed throwing up.
Once he felt that he wasn't going to get sick again he lifted his forearms off the toliet seat and placed his head in his hands for support.
After a couple minutes he got up and flushed the toliet.
He then moved over to the bathroom counter and grabbed his plastic cup and filled it with water so he could rinse his mouth.
Feeling better after he threw up, he walked back to his room.
Before he lays back down on his bed he took a sip of water from his water bottle that sat on his nightstand, he then positioned himself onto his left side and placed his head on the ice pack.
Shutting his eyes as he faces the wall.
This time he manages to fall asleep.

Stilinski Household: Outside
9:17pm
As Noah unlocked the door to his house, he took notice of all the lights being off and the curtains being closed.
After locking the door behind him he walked over to the kitchen, setting down his keys, wallet, and badge onto the counter.
He notices a ice pack on the counter that never made it back into the fridge, so he ran it under some water, dried it off, and placed it back into the freezer.
Noah sighed.
He walked upstairs first to his bedroom to get out of his Sheriffs uniform and into some pj's.
After that he walked over the bathroom and got ready for bed, taking note of the plastic cup on the counter.
After he was done he walked over to Stiles's room opening the door slowly.
He makes his way over to Stiles, slowly sitting partially on the bed he reaches over and moves his blanket back onto Stiles.
His hand moves towards his face as he brushes a few strands of hair out of Stiles face.
He sits there for a few more minutes before heading out of the room, and carefully shutting the door behind him.
He then goes back to his room and gets into bed and fallls asleep.
