I missed you..... III

Addy's pov

"Mum, I'm home" I announce and walk towards the table where mom is setting up for dinner. "Addy, how'd it go?", "it went fairly well, didn't talk to him much, he called me Adrienne Heaton, can you believe that guy?", "that's your name, of course, I can believe it" and my mum lets out a loud chuckle. I help her set the table and we both wait for dad to come. "Ladies", dad says and both of us blush, "old man," we say in unison and all laugh. The next morning, I get out of bed and drag down the stairs and see my mother covering another dish with foil, I immediately know what it means. "Good morning Addy, go get ready fast and drop it off at the Reeves'", "Hmm", I say and head over to the shower. I wear a nice skirt and an oversize waist sweater. "Maa, breakfast??", "first drop this off, when you come back home, breakfast will be ready".
I reverse my car from the driveway and speed up. I reach in less than 10 mins. I ring the bell, but no response, I ring the bell again, yet again no response. The car is in the driveway. I take out my phone and search for Zach's number, last called a year ago, perfect. I press dial and wait for him to pick up the phone. "Hey", he says weakly, "Woah, Zach are you ok", "I don't feel too well", "Open the door, I brought you breakfast", I say softly." I can't Addy, just come in okay, you know where the keys are" and then he coughs and groans like he is hurting. "Zach! Zach! Zach" I say with concern, "Hmm", "I'm coming okay, don't worry". I hang up the phone and slide the window for the key, it is still there. I hurriedly open the door and see that the lasagna lies on the table untouched, and lasagna is his favourite, is this why he wanted me to come in, because he wasn't feeling well, I'm a monster for leaving him like that. I rush towards his room and find him curled up in his bed wheezing. I walk towards him and Rub my hands a little and then gently place my hand on his forehead, he has a fever!. He shakes his head a little and looks at me, "Addy you came, I feel like I'm gonna die", "Shh shh shh, you're going to be all right, let me just call my mum and let her know I will be staying with you for a while" I call my mum "hello mum?"
"Hi honey"
"Mom, Zach is sick, he didn't even eat lasagna yesterday, I felt his head and he has a fever, I'm going to stay at the Reeves' for a while, don't call his parents, they'd worry, I'll keep you updated and if I can no longer take care of him, I'll let you know"
"Oh poor boy, sure Addy you can stay, keep me updated"
"Ok mum, bye"
I look at Zach and I have never seen him this weak and miserable. I go downstairs make some mashed potatoes and stew and take it to Zach. I place a table on the bed and help Zach sit up. "I don't want to eat anything," Zach says, "I figured that out since the lasagna was untouched, is this why you wanted me to come in yesterday, you weren't feeling too well?". "Hmm, Yes I had just thrown up and had a terrible stomach ache, I still do". "You have a stomach ache too?", "Yes, it's not as bad as it was yesterday", "Oh Zach I'm so sorry, I was pissed at you and I snapped at you when you were already in soo much pain, I feel like a monster," I say sitting at the bottom of the bed caressing his feet. He bends over wincing in pain and I get up worried, "Would you like a heating pad", "Sure that'll help"
I have been in and out of this house so many times that I know exactly where the things are kept. I find the heating pad and plug it in waiting for it to heat up I take out my phone and text Julia, my best friend.
_me_ Hey Jules, what's up
_bitch_ Addy darling, it's fucking 10 in the morning what would I be doing
_me_ its 11 and you were talking to Scott and melting every time he texts, I know that because you replied like 5 mins after I texted
_bitch_ How the fuck do you know everything? I'll get back to texting Scott, gosh he's adorable, ttyl bitch
_me_ BYEEE!!!

I hear gagging noises and I grab the heat pad and rush towards Zach's room. He is hunched over his toilet, gagging intensely but nothing is coming up and the toilet is clean as well. I sit on the floor next to him rubbing his back and he gags one last time and falls on my hands grabbing his stomach. "Addy it hurts soo much, Aah," Zach says whimpering in intense pain. "It's going to be all right Zach I'm here".  We sit on the bathroom floor for a while his head on my lap. He starts to sob and squeezes my hands tightly. He is in soo much pain that he has trouble breathing.He lets out a load groan and starts hyperventilating, "Zach, breathe!!" I help Zach sit up, "Addy, Addy ahh, it hurts sooo much, Addy, I can't breathe, Addy!!" He winces in pain again and I get very worried, "Addy help me please, Addy!!! Addy aah" I hold both of his hands and ask him to follow my breaths. I inhale and exhale slowly, but he doesn't catch up. He pulls my hand and bends over in pain. I am thrown towards him. "Zach look at me", I take his hand and keep it on my chest "follow my heartbeat" I breathe with him and his breathing is regulated, he keeps his head on my lap and we stay on the bathroom floor, he occasionally winces and I caress his head.
"Zach?", "Hmm", "will you be able to get up now", "I'll try". I help him get up and take him towards his bed. He has only had a bite of the mashed potatoes, I pick the bowl up and feed it to Zach, he opens his mouth obediently and Eats. After the bowl is empty I ask him to slowly sip the stew and I go to get the medicine box. "here take this anti-nausea and fever reducer" I extend my hand towards Zach and he takes the medicine and gulps it down wincing. "Addy?" "Yes Zach" "The stew was the best fucking thing I've ever had" "Haha, you said the same thing about the first cake I baked back in middle school and It had salt instead of sugar, so yeah I don't believe you", "I didn't say fucking back then", "you didn't know what fucking was, such naive little brat you were". We both chuckled but he then winces, worrying me. "Addy," he says weakly "I missed you". I give him a smile and go and get cold water and a cloth to bring his fever down. I place the cloth on his head and gently press it. I do the same with his hands and legs and at the end do press it one last time on his head. I check his temperature and it's better than before. I give him a forehead kiss and go to wash the bowl and towel. Zach kept touching his knee and I immediately knew something was up. I roll up his pants and he winces, his knee is completely bruised and scraped. I gasp at that sight and check his knee which is scraped too.
I use a damp cloth to clean the knee, which caused some discomfort to Zach.
