Sick

     The alarm clock flashed 6:00 am And screeched a sound of horror. Lucas teaches over and swats at it until it turns off. 
    The blaring noise worsened his already apparent head ache. He decides he has a few minutes and closes his eyes again.
    Lucas jolted up in bed not sure what started him awake. Looking at the clock it read 7:45 am. He was very late.
   Every move ached but he ended up grabbing whatever was closest and rushed out the door.
    Midway through his drive to work he realized that forgetting a jacket was a horrible mistake. He arrived shivering despite it being a fairly warm day.
    He walks in attempting to go straight to clock in so he doesn't have to talk to anyone, he was to tired.
     "Well well well look who decided to come to work today" Warren said sitting in the couch.
    Lucas stayed silent not having the brain energy to come up with a response. He grabs his card and clicks in.
     "Lucas" Joe says emerging from his office, "Where were you? You came in late."
    "Sleeping" he responded blatantly, "You didn't wake me up."
    "I stayed with Jane, plus your not 13 anymore you can't expect me to wake you up."
     Lucas decided on a nod, his through was starting to bother him. He went to do his job. Checking and restocking inventory.
     He was mindlessly looking through the inventory list and staring off in space, mostly starring of in space though.
    "Hey Lucas!" Gina said popping her head in the storage room, "Today Eddies getting us lunch at hat do you want?"
     After a brief moment of confusion, Lucas looks at his watch. It read 11:30 am. He didn't realize how much time passed.
     "I don't care, thanks" he responded, if he was honest he doesn't think he could hold anything down.
     His eyes feel heavy

    "Lucas?!" Joe called, he sounded pissed.
    Coming out of the closet he is met with a annoyed looking Joe.
    "Where the hell have you been" he fumed, "I'm gone 30 minutes and you disappeared?!"
     Lucas couldn't think his head hurt to much, he was so confused. Ever since he stole the money Joe would sometimes get like this, it's better than him being angry all the time though.
     "Sorry Joe, but I don't know what your talking about." He responded honestly.
     Unfortunately this seemed to annoy Joe more. Lucas just tuned it out trying to piece what the hell is going on.
     A wave of dizziness hits him and he falls back to where he hopes the couch is. He nearly missed the couch and fell to the floor, everything was spinning and hurt.
     Joe was caught off guard, he looked at Lucas, he looked sweaty, uncomfortable, and out of it.
     "Lucas" Joe asks kneeling down next to him. "Are you sick?"
     He put his hand up to Lucas forehead, frowning at the amount of heat coming from it.
     "Do you want to go home?"
     It took awhile for Lucas to formulate an answer, "yeah, I really do."
     Picking Lucas up he half staged him to his car. Trying to support both himself and his half limp kid was more difficult than he anticipated. Opening the back door he placed Lucas across the backseat.
     They started driving, Joe periodically glanced back at him. He looked worse that when he was at the store.
