Finally Together

Chapter 7

Tori came and woke us up for dinner. We had TACOS! I haven't had them in what feels like forever! Will, Ki, and Dylan had finally left back to their hotel. No one really said a word during dinner, which was fine by me. After dinner we all watched a movie then went to bed, even though Thomas and I slept mot of the day, I was exhausted for some reason.

            I did not want to wake up this morning. Not because it was morning and I'm just lazy, well a little because of that, but because I wasn't feeling too well. I was covered in sweat, I felt like I was being set on fire but dipped into an ice bucket at the same time, my stomach was doing back flips, my throat hurt and my head was pounding. I could not find a comfortable position for the life of me. I flipped over, only to accidently push Thomas off the bed. I heard him groggily get up.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"God Autumn you look terrible." Thomas said.

"Thanks." I mumbled sarcastically.

"No I'm serious, are you feeling ok?" He asked, getting back up on the bed.

I shook my head.

"Ew you're covered in sweat." He said wiping his hand on his pants. I moaned in pain. "What hurts?" He asked pressing his wrist to my forehead.

"Everything." I whined.

"I'm going to go get Tori, stay here." He said getting up off the bed. I heard him leave. I curled up into a ball. I hated being sick. I hated the horrible feeling you get when you're sick.

            Thomas finally came back in the room Tori, Ki, Will, Dylan, Tammy and Kaya trailing behind.

"What's wrong?" Ki asked.

I listed off everything that I felt wrong with me.

"I'll go to the store and get some pain killers and some other medication for you." Tori said. "Thomas and Kaya, I'm putting you two in charge."

"Hey!" Dylan, Will, Ki and Tammy yelled at the same time.

"Grow up." Kaya rolled her eyes and laughed. Tori left to head to the store. Thomas sat down next to me.

"Nooooo I don't want to get you guys sick." I whined when everyone else came and lay down on the bed next to me.

"Eh we'll get over it." Thomas chuckled.

"It's hot, get off the bed." I complained. They all got off the bed.

"I'll go make you some soup." Tammy said skipping to the kitchen, Dylan, Will and Kaya right behind her.

"I'll get you a cool wash cloth." Thomas said.

"I feel like I'm being treated like royalty." I said. "I don't like it."

"Boohoo you're sick and getting special treatment." Dylan said, popping his head in the doorway.

I shot a glare at him. He stuck his tongue out at me and left. Thomas came back and rested the cool, damp washcloth on my burning forehead.

"Thank you." I smiled. He grabbed my hand in his and kissed my hand.

"Anything for you." He smiled. I gently closed my eyes and hummed a soft little tune that was stuck in my head. Soon Dylan, Will, Ki and Kaya came back with a bowl of hot soup. I thanked them and ate up, Dylan insisted feeding me. That didn't work out so well though. After a couple spills later, they left and I got in the shower, alone. The hot water cascaded on my face, it felt really nice and I was feeling a bit better. After I got out of the shower I got dressed and laid down in bed again. Tori came home and I took the painkillers and other medications. I passed out minuets later.

            When I woke again I felt a whole ton better. Thomas sat next to me running his fingers through my hair and humming. I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked.

"A lot better." I said.

"Good, you want anything?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm starving!" I laughed.

"Ok, what do you want?" He asked.

"Chicken nuggets, a double cheeseburger, some fries, a couple slices of pizza, oh some rice, sushi, dark chocolate, a strawberry milkshake, and some spaghetti." I said. He stared at me wide eyed.

"I'm just kidding, I'll take some rice though." I said.

He chuckled. "All right. COMING RIGHT UP!" He yelled and jumped off the bed and ran out the door. I laughed at his weirdness. He came back about ten minuets later with a bowl of rice and a soy sauce bottle. He set it on my lap and I poured some soy sauce on the rice and ate up. It was heaven.

"Thank you." I said through a mouth full of rice.

He laughed. "Anything for you baby."

I laughed and continued to eat. After I was finished I actually got up and put the dishes away, one because Thomas fell asleep, two because I felt a whole lot better and three because I wanted to see Ki. Everyone was watching some sort of comedy and sitting on the couch. I sat next to Ki and he put an arm around my shoulder. I smiled and gave him a hug.

"Thanks for helping me, all of you." I said when the TV went to commercial break.

"No problem." A voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Thomas standing there. I smiled and he sat next to me, snaking his arm around my waist, bringing me closer to him and away from Ki. I laughed as his petty jealousy. He knows I would never cheat on him... again... especially with my best friend. He's just protective like that. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you." I whispered.  

"No problem, are you feeling good now?" He asked.

"Almost completely fine." I smiled.

"Good." He kissed my nose and we watched the movie, laughing along the way.
