I went to bed feeling the best I had in a very long time but unfortunately when I woke up I felt like crap. I was sick. I ran to the bathroom because I knew I was gonna be sick. After I had spewed up all my guts I planned my day and called Niamh that she didn't need to work today cause of my illness. I decided it was defiantly a duvet day. I got myself prepared with a hot water bottle, water soup and dvd's al whilst in the comfort of my own bed. I decided to watch some horror movies. Nothing like a bit of guts and gore while your ill. I chose to watch The Nightmare on Elm Street collection. Freddie Kruger was one creepy dude.  

It reached about 1 when "Stay With Me" played from somewhere in my pit. It was my phone telling me I had a missed phone call and 5 texts. Fml. How could I have neglected my phone for so long! It was a missed call from my mum. I hadn't spoken to her in while, what a horrible person I am. I then checked my texts 2 from Niamh telling me she is coming round later and bringing all food you shouldn't be eating when you're sick, the thought of the food made me want to be sick again. 1 was from my sister asking how I was and when she could next see me. Another from O2 telling me about new tariffs and then one from Greg. I read over what he said and completely forgot I said I would meet up with him. I am such a twat. I quickly dialled his number to explain to him why I couldn't meet him. It rang five times before he picked up. 

"Hello, Greg here." His angelic voice echoed in my ears 

"Greg, it's Becky. I have to apologise for not getting back to your text as I am in bed sick and my phone somehow ended up in my pit and I didn't bother checking it!" I told him, hoping he would understand 

"It's fine! As long as you are ok that's all that matters." He was so sweet. " Do you want me to come round and look after you? I mean I would love to see you again but if you aren't up for visitors..." 

"I would love to see you! But I don't want to give you my bug, I mean you have the X Factor to think about you stay and rehearse but I promise this weekend I will come and see you!" I instructed him. 

" Alright then lovely, speak to you later. Remember to text me yeah?"  

"Sure thing! And good luck with the competition. I know you can beat their asses." I laughed along with him 

"Whatever you say. Speak to you later, bye!" he said hanging up the phone. 

I put down my phone a smiled to myself. I must have looked like an idiot. To think this time last year we hated each other but now well we like each other. I mean I really like him but I didn't know how he felt. I didn't want to come across as desperate. Just as I was getting wrapped up in my thoughts the doorbell rang, Niamh had arrived. 

I opened the door in my Pj's and she just laughed at me. I saw her standing there with to bags of shopping. She walked through mumbling something to me but I just went back upstairs to my bed. I put on the 3rd dvd - Dream Warriors. Niamh wandered ino my bedroom with 2 tins of pringles, a few bags of haribo's and a litre bottle of Fanta.I just lay there and looked at her, disapproving her purchases. 

"What? No allowed a little treat every once in a while." She said while sitting down beside me opening a can of pringles. She offered me ne but the smell of them made me bulk. 

"No thanks. I am ill you know? Can't eat much cause it all comes straight back up!" I told her 

"Ewwww! Too much information." She screamed. I sat there laughing at her squeamishness.  

"So what are we watching?" she asked but then Freddie Kruger flashed up on screen and she had a mini heart attack. I was in fits of laughter at her reaction; to be honest he wasn't that scary just a bit of seared skin and knives instead of fingers.  

"What the fuck was that? That was a fricking monster. Get it off!" she yelled. 

"That?, that was Freddie. And actually he is human therefore not a monster. And no, I want to watch it." I told her.  

She gave me a disapproving look and just sat there in silence. I was sitting there focused on the movie so much It was like I was in the movie. He was about to slice someone, my heart was racing when Niamh startled me by speaking. I literally jumped out of my skin. 

"Woah calm down" she laughed "I am just letting you know that I have invited Micky round later this evening and he is bringing Greg." She winked at me. 

"But I told Greg not to come round! What if I give them a bug!? What if they can't perform!? Did you think about that!?" I said to her getting a bit agitated.  

I quickly rushed to get everything clean; I didn't want them to think I lived in a pit. Then I remembered I was in my PJ's. I didn't want them to see me in these either. 

"Right, I am going for a shower. Don't make a mess please" I said whilst leaving the room. 

I stepped into the shower the warm water hitting my back, I felt instantly better. I went through my usual routine - Shampoo, Condition but leave it in, wash, rinse out conditioner. I got out brushed my teeth, dried my hair put up in a ponytail and got changed into comfy clothes. I walked back into my bedroom but Niamh wasn't there. Thankfully she hadn't made a mess so I quickly made my bed and trudged downstairs. I walked into the living room she wasn't there, Kitchen there was no sign of her, Dining room still nothing. I called out her name, no reply. She must have left, She might of taken what I said to heart. I now felt rather guilty, but then I decided to have a nap.  

"She is so cute when she sleeps." Someone whispered, I was unaware of the people in my house. 

What if there were burglars's in my house. I started creating horrible scenarios when I heard a familiar voice. 

"Is she hell. She is the most annoying person when she sleeps. She snores, wriggles, talks. She is terrible!" Niamh complained. 

At that point I knew I was safe. I felt someone stroke my hair so I opened my eyes to be met by a pair of blue ones. 

"Good Morning Sleeping Beauty. Or should I say Good Evening." He laughed. I smiled back at him as I sat up. 

"We will leave you's two alone." Micky winked. 

We both shook our heads as they headed to the kitchen. 

"How you feeling, love?" He asked me. 

"A lot better thanks really needed that sleep. But seeing you has defiantly made my day." I said as I cuddled into his side. 

He put his arm round my waist and cuddled me back. The TV was on in the back ground, Mrs Brown's Boys was on. Oh how I loved that show. It was the episode when Granddad faked his death and it was at the part where they all started singing. Me and Greg were both chuckling at it.  

"So how were rehearsals?" I asked him 

"Good! Hopefully we get better comments this week." He smiled down at me. 

He looked straight into my eyes. The feeling when that happened was immense. I felt dizzy, my stomach had butterflies and my heart was racing. I had fallen pretty hard for him. We both started leaning in as our lips gently touched. We pulled away and he had a grin on his face, I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks. He kissed my forehead and we went back to watching the TV. It soon reached about 11:30pm and Micky and Greg decided to go. Micky and Niamh were outside saying their goodbyes while I stayed at the door with Greg.  

"Good Luck tomorrow. Just remember we will all be proud no matter what happens and I will always be here when you need me." I told him 

"Thank you, it means a lot. See you soon? Don't forget about me ok?" He laughed. 

"I couldn't do that. Bye sweetie" I gave him a quick kiss and with that he left with Micky.
