I Need to Know

Chapter 3

I know it's been like a month since the last update, but this chapter ended up being a total monster. Over 6500 words anyone? -cries- Why do I do this to myself?? Anyway, here you go. Enjoy! 

Also a reminder for sexual content in the chapter.

PS. I added some artwork to the last chapter, of some snapchats from Vic. So go check those out if you want.

The beep of a thermometer went off, and Kellin sighed tiredly as Kate took the device out of his mouth to read it.

"99 °F" Kate frowned, dabbing at his face with a cool cloth. "Not quite a fever, but still high. I really think you should go see a doctor, babe."

Kellin sat up and pushed his sweaty bangs out of his face, groaning as his head throbbed. "I'm fine. I don't need to go to the doctor just 'cause I'm just a little hot." He took a drink of his bottle of water.

"Kellin you've been 'a little hot' for the past two weeks! Not to mention your headaches, and the fact you've barely been able to keep anything down. This might be something serious."

"It's just a flu or something. It'll pass. You don't have to make a big deal about it." He responded a little more aggressively than necessary. Kate gave him an unimpressed look, placing the cloth on the night table and crossing her arms.

"Can you not act like a child, and just go get a check up? If it turns out to be nothing, you can tell me 'I told you so' all you like, okay? Please?"

Kellin absolutely hated going to the doctor's. He always tried to avoid visiting as much as humanly possible, but he knew Kate was right. He'd felt like absolute garbage the past couple weeks.

"Fine." Kellin flopped back down, sighing in defeat. "I'll go to the doctor."

"Thank you." She gave him a small, tight smile. "Now I need to head off as soon as the sitter gets here. Do you need me to get anything before I go?" Kellin shook his head. Kate had some big fashion event she was attending, and normally he would join her, but with how unwell he was, he just didn't have the energy.

"Alright. I have some vegetable broth for you in the fridge. Hopefully it will be easy to digest so you can keep it down. I also have some more bottles of water in there, because I figured it would be easier to have a bunch of bottles than have to keep getting up and fill a cup."

Kellin felt bad for getting snappy with her. Kate was only trying to help him.

'God, I'm such a jerk...'

He took her hand and squeezed it softly. "Thank you for taking care of my stubborn ass."

Her eyes softened, and she gave him a peck on the cheek. "Of course." She chuckled. "I knew what I was getting into when I married you."

Before Kate's words could crush Kellin with his overwhelming guilt, the doorbell rang.

"Ah, perfect. She's here." Kate stood from the bed and headed to the door.

"Have a good time."

"Thanks baby. Take care of yourself, and go to the doctor." she emphasized sternly. "Love you!"

"...Love you too..." he said quietly as the door clicked shut behind her.
