UNWANTED LIFE.

19.

I heard coughs and painful moans from Liam's room.

He was sick and I wanted to check up on him but I was scared of how he will react.

I slowly opened his room door and walked up to him.

He was sleeping but he was not comfortable at all. I kept my hand on his forehead to check the temperature. It was burning. That's when I realized that he has a fever.

I quickly ran to the bathroom and took a wet towel.

When I came back, I saw Liam slowly waking up and searching for something.

"Why are you in my room?"

"Because you have a fever and I wanted to do something."

"You-don-t ha-ve to do -anything, just go out."
He said between coughs.

"Shut up and sit down before I pour a bucket of water"

He nodded and sat straight.
I slowly put the wet towel on his forehead and massaged him.

He was moaning. I chuckled.

"Care to explain why are you laughing?"

"Because you are moaning devil"

"HAHA FUNNY"

He smiled.

I got up and made my way to the kitchen to make him a soup.
I made a simple vegetable soup and a orange Juice and made my way to his room.

"Are you going to feed me?"

"You wish"

With that I kept the soup right in front of him to dig in.
He slowly ate and was coughing now and then. It was eight already and time for bed because today I woke up early to arrange the house for Liam's birthday. But nothing special happened.

After he was done eating I took the bowl and cleaned it.

I decided to check up on him once again. Because I felt bad for pushing him into the pool. When I came back to his room, he was already asleep.

I tip toed and walked slowly towards his bed to check his temperature.
I checked and it was normal. I slowly turned to go but Liam got hold of my hand and mumbled,

"Don't leave"

I smiled and pushed his hand slightly and wanted to take another step but he got hold of my hand again and pulled me towards his chest.

"Ouch"

I shouted.

But made sure not to wake up Liam.

I smiled when he pulled me more closer and his smell was already traveling through my nose.

I put my hands around his waist and hugged him.

And slowly sleep invaded me.
