Chris sees this and puts his arm around my back and his other hand against my chest,"You alright?"
"Yeah."
That's all I can get out. Between the pain and my head spinning I can't really think. I just breath, because right now, that's the only thing I can do. Piers,"Let him lay here, I can move."
"No....I'm fine...Just....give me something to lean against."
It takes time to get the words out. Chris, without much of a warning, picks me up, and takes me back a few inches. He lays me against the side of the boat, at the end of the couch. It made my head spin more, but now that I'm against something, I feel better,"Thanks."
It's all I can get out, once again, but Chris nods. When he nods, I close my eyes. There's a space between me and the other end of the boat. I sense it get occupied, then feel a hand on mine. The hand is soft and small, Ada. I look over to see that I'm right. She smiles,"Don't mind me, just get some rest."
I smile and close my eyes again. I let myself fall asleep, letting my head rest.

When I wake, Ada is still by my side. Sherry is holding Nero across from us. He has fallen asleep laying against her. Jake is still driving, Chris in the seat next to her. Piers has fallen asleep. I look at Ada who looks at me,"How are you feeling?"
"My head's stopped spinning. I still have a headache, but it's nothing compared to what it was earlier. How are you doing?"
She smiles,"Fine. The advantage to being on a boat is when you have to puke, you can just lean over the side of the boat."
I laugh and so does she. Ada,"If you want to lay down..."
I cut her off,"No. Your the one who should be resting. I had my time."
I put an arm around her and make her lay against me. She thanks me and falls asleep soon after.
