Roses' POV:

So its Monday morning and its 7 am, I'm still in bed when I should be getting ready for school.. I woke up to pressure in my head and behind my eyes, and vomiting my guts up... I called mum, since she is at work and won't be home till late again, and told her that I'm sick and I can't go to school. She told me to just stay in bed and take some penicillin so help my body fight the sickness. I was going to text Dylan and everyone else but then I decided not to because I would just stress them and they would all come around after school and that's the worst thing when your sick plus I wouldn't want to get any of them sick. 

I was busting to go to the toilet, I took the blankets off of my body and I struggled to get up because my body was so weak. I eventually went to do my business, I looked in the mirror to see a horrible looking me, I was so pale and my eyes were glassy. I hopped back in bed and fell into a deep sleep.


Dylans' POV:

I was excited to see Rose, even though we aren't dating but we're a thing. Tyler asked Makayla out and now they are dating.. The bus arrived at Roses stop but she didn't get on, okay now I'm worried.. Maybe she's just late or something, her mum could have dropped her off at school already. All I can do is wait till class to see if she's there.

The bus arrived and I saw Makayla with Tyler outside of class along with Courtney and Colon. But where was Rose? I ran up to them and I asked the girls if they had heard from her. They said they haven't spoken to her yet, they looked kinda worried at this point and so was I. The girls called her 4 times and sent her a bunch of texts, as for me I called her like 10 times and left a whole heap of voice mails and messages. I'm shaking and starring at the door hoping she will walk through it. The day went by and still no sign of Rose, the girls said they are going to go to her place right after school and that I should go with them.

We were in English our last class, it was 2:57pm I was jumping and wriggling in my seat, I have to see her to make sure she's okay. I was lost in my thoughts when the bell rang, I chucked my books in my bag and jumped out of my seat, I met the girls on the bus. I saw them and sat next to them, stressing too much. They kept tell me,

"Calm down I'm sure she's fine"

We got to her stop and we jumped out and ran to her door constantly knocking on it.


Roses' POV:

Once I woke from my 5 hour sleep, I looked at my phone and I had so many missed calls and messages with voice mails.. Crap, I had a dozen messages and calls from Dylan, and only half of the amount of calls from the girls. I felt better than when I first woke up this morning. So I got downstairs to the kitchen a lot easier, I made myself a cup of coffee and a slice of toast to have something in my stomach. It's 1 pm now, and I couldn't sleep anymore, so I checked my social media then went to the couch and put Dracula Untold on, Luke Evans is an amazing actor! I got a thing of popcorn and made myself comfortable, with pillow and blankets. Once the movie finished it was 3 o'clock, school would be over now... I felt like doing what I love and do best, dance! I put the surround sound speakers on but only on low, and put on Somebody by Natalie La Rose with Jeremiah. I was dancing away when the was a knock on the door, I turned the music off and walked to the door, I looked out the window next to it and saw Dylan, Courtney and Makayla were standing there. Shit. Here come 20 times 100 questions. They knocked again, I opened the door and I got attacked by hugs, after about 5 minutes they let go and they kept asking where I was and why I wasn't answer their calls. I told them I would answer their questions when they come inside and take a seat on the couch, they all chuckled and so did I. I closed the door behind them and made my way over to the couch. Once I got over there they straight away said, 

"Okay spill" 

"I woke up this morning to vomiting my guts up and pressure in my head and behind my eyes. Nothing severe" I said

"We were worried sick, why didn't you reply or call us back?" Makayla asked so sympathetically, I don't know what they were so worried about. 

"I didn't want to worry you guys... I'm sorry" I felt bad now, I should have just told them, or even send a text saying I'm okay. But no I'm just a selfish little bitch. I don't deserve friends because all I do is hurt them. 

They didn't say anything.. 

Until Dylan broke the silence... 

"So your feeling better now?" He asked. 

"Yeah I feel a lot better, I'll be coming tomorrow."  

"Okay good" They all said. 

I had to go upstairs, I asked them if they could make me a coffee, if make some for themselves. Makayla ended up making them, as I reached the stairs Courtney asked what I was doing, 

"I just have to grab my jumper" I said while not looking at them. I couldn't tell them I had to get away for a moment. I noticed that Dylan hasn't said much at all, he can probably tell that there is something wrong. 

I got upstairs and quietly closed my door so they don't hear it and think that I'm shutting them out. 

I got to my bed and grabbed a jumper but then sat on my bed hold my knees to my chest with my hands and burring my face in my knees. Just thinking and blocking out everything. I heard someone waling upstairs, I was thinking who it was, I jumped up so it didn't look suspicious, I walked over to my wardrobe and pretended I was looking for something, the door opened but I ignored it. Two arms wrapped around my waist, it was Dylan... He kissed head and asked if I was okay, I said I was fine, I was just looking for a jumper. 

"You already have one on?" Dylan said, crap. 

"Oh right." 

"Seriously Rose, what's wrong? You know you can tell me" 

"I feel terrible knowing that I put you through stress and that you were worried about me, I should have just sent you guys a text saying I'm okay, but no. I'm an idiot!" I said getting really angry at myself. 

"Don't say that" He said. I could feel the tears brimming in my eyes. 

"But it's true! I should have!" The tears were streaming down my face, I couldn't hold them back. 

He hugged my and kissed my forehead, he calmed me down, he was rubbing my back and reassuring me. 


Once I got myself together, we made our way back downstairs. The girls had Titanic on, oh geez, these girls! I giggled It was 5pm at this stage, Makayla was sitting on the right hand side on the couch, and Courtney next to her. Dylan and I were cuddling on the other end of the couch. I could feel his heart beat, it was soothing. Once Titanic had finish me and the girls were crying like a dog died, Dylan was almost asleep... It was 8pm at this stage, the girls decided to chuck on some dinner and head home, but Dylan and I hung out a bit more. The girls said that I have to call them as soon as I wake up to say if I'm going to school tomorrow or not. Dylan I watched Dracula Untold, again for me but the first time for Dylan. We were cuddling again and we laid down on the couch with me on the edge with him holding onto me so I wouldn't fall. Dylan had fallen asleep half way through the movie, so I decided to go get juice. I finished my juice and then I was busting to go to the bathroom. I ran upstairs and did my business, I looked in the mirror and I didn't look as bad as I did this morning. Hopefully I'll be myself again so I can go to school.

Thanks guys! Enjoy :) x
