Frida's perspective

I immediately woke up from the loud sound of the alarm, and so did Benny. "Good morning..." Benny said in a tired voice. "Yeah, good morning." I said and yawned. I got out of the bed and walked in the bathroom. I splashed some cold water on my face, hoping it'd help me wake up. It did only a little.

I walked out of the bathroom and put on my robe, and walked downstairs.

I put coffee on the stove to boil and went to the fridge. I browsed the fridge with my eyes, looking for something to eat. I really really didn't want to cook, so I just decided to eat cereal. I took milk out of the fridge and a bowl out of the cabinet, and put them on the counter. I took cereal and poured it in the bowl, and after milk over the cereal. I poured coffee in a mug, along with some sugar, and took the bowl of cereal and sat down at the table.

"Hey..." Benny said as he entered the kitchen. "Hi." I said and ate the cereal. He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down next to me. "Don't you want to eat something?" I looked at him. "No, I'm not very hungry." He answered and got up to go get sugar for the coffee. I slowly ate the cereal and drank coffee, while being completely lost in thoughts.

Agnetha's perspective

I stood at the counter making coffee. I held onto the counter very hard, otherwise I felt as if I was gonna faint. "Morning honey." Björn said coming into the kitchen. "Morning love." I answered weakly. "Do you feel alright?" He asked concerned. "Yeah, no, I don't know." I answered and looked at him. "You look very pale..." He said and put his hand on my forehead, "And I think you have a temperature. I don't think you should go to work today..." Björn said, still staring at me. "No, I feel fine... -Ish..." I said protesting. I really wanted to see Frida, I had to. "No you don't. You don't even feel fine-ish. Come let's go back upstairs." Björn said and put his arm around my shoulders, and took me upstairs. "Go to sleep. I'll call Frida, so you don't have to be alone and someone can take care of you." Björn said while tucking me in. "Okay..." I yawned and before I knew it I was asleep. I didn't even realize he had said he'd call Frida.

Frida's perspective

Just as soon as I finished my coffee the phone rang. "Who would call this early?" Benny looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders and got up.

- Hello? - I answered the phone.
- Hey, it's Björn. - his voice said over the phone.
- Oh, is everything alright? -
- Yeah, kind of. Agnetha is sick, and I was thinking you could take care of her, I and Benny can do without the two of you today. -
- Yeah, I suppose I can. How does she feel, is she okay? -
- She isn't too bad, but also not too good. -
- Okay. I'll be there around 8. Bye - I said and hung up.

I walked back to the kitchen and put my coffee cup and the bowl in the sink. "Who was it?" Benny asked as he handed me his finished coffee cup. "Oh Agnetha is sick, and I'll go take care of her." I said and took the cup and put it in the sink. "Oh okay."

I took a shower and got dressed. I didn't dress up much, because I'd just go to Agnetha's. I put on jeans and a t-shirt. I blow-dried my hair and brushed it. "Bye hon." Benny kissed me. "Bye." I said and he left for work. I took my bag and put my book in it, and other stuff I usually take with me.

I put my boots on and then my coat. I grabbed the keys off of the kitchen table and left.

I checked my watch, I'd be a little earlier than I said I'd be there, but I don't think Agnetha would mind that. I walked slowly to her house, admiring the sunrise.

In a few minutes I was at Agnetha's house. I didn't think Agnetha was awake, so I didn't knock, I just walked inside. I locked the door from the inside. And turned on the light in the hallway. I hung my coat and took off my boots. I walked upstairs quietly and slowly opened her bedroom door. Agnetha was still sleeping, but I decided not to wake her, so I just closed the door and walked back downstairs.

I turned the light on in the kitchen. I took out eggs and milk out from the fridge, and flour and sugar from one of the cabinets. I decided to make her pancakes for breakfast, maybe that'd cheer her up, she hated being sick, but who liked to be sick anyway?

I was finished making the pancake batter. I took a pan and put it on the stove. I turned the stove on and poured oil in the pan, and waited for it to heat up. While it heated up I alread got a plate where to put the ready pancakes.

In around 20 minutes they were done. I put them on the table and walked upstairs to wake up Agnetha. I opened the door. I walked up to the window and opened the curtains and then walked to Agnetha. I carefully woke her up. "Wake up..." I said softly and she opened her eyes, well opened and closed. "Good morning." I smiled, "Frid?... Is that you?..." She asked in a sleepy voice, "No King Gustaf." I said sarcastically. "Oh hi Frida..." She said still with her eyes closed. "You need to wake up, I made breakfast." I said, but she still didn't listen to me. "Well it all comes to this-" I said and kissed her. When I pulled away she immediately opened her eyes. "Now come eat breakfast." I said still leaning over her. She looked into my eyes, then at my lips and then back into my eyes and kissed me. She put her arms around my neck. I held her face with one of my hands and with the other I held myself up while leaning over Agnetha. I slowly sat down and she sat up. Our hands were all over each other and we were french kissing. I didn't care if she had a cold, I craved her. I put my hand under her shirt, I needed to feel her. We kissed for a while and I was ready to take her shirt off till someone said something. "Mommy?" Linda's voice came from the hallway. I took my hand out of Agnetha's shirt and pulled away as soon as I heard her and looked at Linda who stood infront of us. "We are fucked aren't we?" I said to Agnetha quietly.
