D.O’s POV

It must be stress or maybe I have just worked myself harder than what I could handle but my throat is killing me. All those high notes and pitches came with a price.

I’m not sick and I’m not having a cold or flu but it just hurts. It’s hard to swallow anything and it just makes my work more difficult. I wish it would just vanish somehow and leave me alone.
