Someone Like You

Love Sick

Sam was frustrated with everyone including her feelings. She felt entirely different around Daniel since the first time they met. She was seated on her couch with her left leg crossed and right bent with her foot on the floor. Her left elbow was pressed on the top of the couch and hand was pressed against the side of her head. Her anxiety was kicking in as she thought about this upcoming season. She knew something was bound to happen between their character's Olivia and Spencer. She wasn't sure what was in store for them but she feared anything intimate. What if they kiss? What if they do more than kissing like sex? So many thoughts rushed through her mind with her phone disturbing them. It was Daniel calling her. She was about to hit the accept button but hit the decline instead to ignore his call. She sighed as she shook her head before shutting her eyes.

Asjha was hanging out with Daniel after finding out what happened. "She ignored me" he sighed before placing his phone in his back pocket. Asjha was a bit frustrated with her friend. She wants Sam to finally be happy but she's doing everything she can to push happiness away. "I love Sam, that's my girl and all but she's hurting herself purposely. There is no way I could allow someone to disrespect me like he did. Alec gets jealous easily and he always finds way to guilt her into staying when she's about to walk away" Asjha told him. Daniel was still disappointed about the situation. It didn't help that she was ignoring his calls and texts. "Dude is disrespectful and the way he talks to her.. he's controlling" Daniel didn't like Samantha being in a situation like this but knew he couldn't do anything about it. "Yeah.. what's sad is that she allows it. She doesn't want to be single. That's why she went from Dylan to Alec. People who battles through depression and anxiety does that because they're afraid of being alone. I just hate that Sam is going through this and there's nothing I can do to stop it" she sighed. "I never told you directly.... I do like Sam. It developed while filming season 1 but I thought it was a little crush or something up until we started hanging out prior to filming season 2. I'm always thinking about her and... you know what? It doesn't matter because she isn't feeling me and if she is then she doesn't show it. I don't have time for games. Either you like me or you don't. I'm not about to chase after anybody. I get that she has anxiety and depression but she knows she can tell me anything" Daniel told Asjha. "I wish it was that easy but it isn't. She will never tell you because even though I have mentioned to her that you like her she doesn't believe it and she fears if you were to date then it would mess up your friendship if y'all broke up. But Sam does like you we all know that except for you. Those looks she gives you aren't acting, it's real. The way she is always grabbing on you, smiling at you, laughing at the most ridiculous things that you say. That girl is lowkey sprung. Have you noticed she's always licking her lips when she stares at you and her eyes are screaming 'I want to take your clothes off' because that girl eye fucks toy heavily just like you eye fuck her. Why do you think she wants Spelivia so badly?" Daniel was thinking about it. "Making Spelivia happen is an easy way to be intimate with you" she told him. "And Alec is cool and all but she got herself in a position where she either needs to break up with him or wait for him to break up with her officially which will probably not happen because he wouldn't want to let her go so easily. They both go through things and she will be guilty for leaving him especially for another man who she truly loves. Alec gives her what she wants while you my friend gives her what she needs."

Sam noticed a sudden change. She was losing sight of smell and taste. She was worried as her head began to hurt and she was coughing tremendously. She ended up making an appointment with her doctor just to find out she was positive for COVID-19. She let Asjha know who didn't hesitate to let Daniel know. "She what?!" Daniel was worried as he tried to call her once again. "Yeah she was tested and the results came back that she's positive" Daniel wanted to talk to her but she was ignoring him still. "I'm gonna go see her" she looked at him confused. "Are you insane? She has Covid. Are you trying to catch it too?" Daniel shrugged "I'll quarantine with her. If that gets her to stop ignoring me" he headed for the door. "You claim you won't chase anybody but you're chasing after her in ways that you don't realize" Asjha told him. "I guess my feelings is hard to fight" he opened the door and walked out. Daniel brought her some broccoli cheddar soup and honey tea. He got outside of her door hearing her coughing inside before he knocked. She rubbed her nose before she stood up from the couch and slowly walked to the door and opened it to find Daniel standing at the door. She was surprised. He noticed how pale she was than normal. Underneath her eye were red. Her nose was red as well. "What are you doing here?" She turned away and coughed. "I came to see you. You weren't answering my calls...." he trailed off. "You shouldn't be here especially without a mask on... I've been tested positive for Covid" she told him. "You don't think I know that?" He held up a container that had the broccoli cheddar soup in and the box of honey tea. "I'm here to nurse you back to health" he said before walking in passed her. She made a confused look to herself before shutting the door. "You're gonna get yourself sick being around me" she told him. "Then I'll be sick. We can be sick together" he said before walking to her kitchen with her looking down smiling half way before shaking her head a little knowing he was stubborn. "You've been ignoring me for I don't know what reason but it isn't stopping me from worrying about you and for wanting to help you get well" he was making her tea while the food was now warming up. "I have a lot on my mind plus now being hit with Covid... don't take it personal" she told him before sitting down. He took the soup from out of then microwave and grabbed the cup of tea and made his way over to her. "I feel like death" she told him. Daniel set everything on the table before sitting next to her with her resting her head against his shoulder. "I'm so hot and weak..." she shut her eyes. He noticed she was sweating so he stood up and turned the AC on for her. Though he isn't fond of the cold, he wanted to cool her down. "You really shouldn't be here... this is the worst feeling ever. I can't even breath" she told him before she started to cry. "He took off his hoodie before holding her so it wouldn't be too much heat being brought onto her. "I don't care about me getting it, I just want to be here for you" he kissed her sweaty forehead. Feeling her shiver. Her body was burning up but she was still shivering. He leaned forward scooping some soup onto the spoon before placing his other hand underneath the spoon as he brought it close to her "try to eat" he told her. "I have no appetite" she whined. "I get that but you still need to try" he insisted. Her body was now leaning against his as she slowly parted her mouth with him scooping the soup in her mouth. She was in a tank top and shorts and her tank top was drenched in some spots from her sweating. "Here drink some tea" he grabbed the cup with a straw and held it by her mouth she slowly opened her mouth as she took a small sip. Everything was horrible to her as she lost her taste buds and smell. "I just want to sleep" she said weakly as she was breathing from out of her mouth. "I'll put your food up, you can try again later" he stood up grabbing the food and bringing it to the kitchen. He placed it in the refrigerator. He was beyond cold as the AC was blasting at a 85. He walked over and lifted her up and walked to the vent and laid her down in front of it before he laid down next to her. He was shivering but all that mattered to him was to cool her down. Her eyes were closed. Her breathing was rapidly from her mouth as she couldn't breath from her nose which was hardly helping. Her voice was weak while she spoke "Daniel.. sorry I've been ignoring you I just love....." she trailed off. "You love?" He looked at her and realized she fell asleep. He kissed her cheek before he held her trying to ignore the fact than he was shivering.
