Revenant: soldier of the past [human in a furry world] book 1

chapter 14: A little treat

Jett pov

we just sit there and talk, about the war and how it changed us. we talk until the sun started to set. we walk out the door and say our goodbyes

me:" bye Angela. we should do this again sometime"

Angela:" yes, we should"

me and the girls walked back home, it was calm and quiet in the middle of October and I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, it was cold, Jayna noticed that I was shivering and walked over and wrapped her arm around me to warm me up. we arrived at home shortly after and at this point Jayna was carrying me because I told her I starting to not feel good and laid me down on the couch as she sat my head on her lap

mom:" did you kids have fun"?

me(sniffling) :" yeah, it was great seeing Angela again"

mom:" are you feeling ok sweetie"

me(coughing):" yeah, I feel fine"

mom( putting her hand on my forehead):" oh, my gosh. sweetie your burning up"

me:" now that you mention it I am kind of warm, and my throat hurts"

mom:" aww sweetie. let me make you some soup"

I lay there as Bridgette puts a blanket over me and went into the kitchen to grab an ice pack as Jayna ran her fingers through my hair to try to comfort me, and Samantha walks up with a thermometer to check my temperature which read 105 degrees, mom came back with some chicken noodle soup and Bridgette returned with an ice pack which she placed on my forehead. they all seemed concerned by how fast this fever came over me. that night Jayna stayed downstairs to help me get over my cold

Jayna pov

I'm scared for Jett. I know he doesn't feel good, seeing him helpless like this makes me sad. I didn't even think he could get this sick even with his healing factor

me:" hey Jett. can I ask you something"?

Jett(groggily):" sure"

me:" why do you get sick even though you have a healing factor"?

Jett:" my healing factor repairs damage to my body but it doesn't account for infections and diseases, it grants me a higher immunity sometimes but I still get sick on occasion"

me:" oh"

Jett:" Jayna"?

me:" yeah"?

Jett:" can you get me a glass of water"?

me:" sure thing"

the next morning me, Bridgette, and Samantha walked to school leaving Jett with his mom who took the day off of work to take care of him. I'm sad I can't stay with home from school to help take care of him

Jett pov

mom had taken the day off of work to take care of me as I was fighting off my cold, I was asleep most of the day but when I finally woke up my fever broke and I was up watching TV as mom slept in that recliner as Bridgette and Jayna came home

me:" hey sis. hi Jayna"

Jayna(running up and hugging my face into her breast):"Jett!!! your all better"!!!!

me:" yeah. I forget how soft you are"

Jayna(blushing):" aww your adorable"

we all sit down and watch TV as mom began to wake up and saw that my fever was gone
