Chapter 32 - Salmonella ♡

an: im sorry but the word salmonella next to a heart is so hilarious for no reason, okay continue to the chapter now.

Max's POV-

⚠️vomit.⚠️

On the back of any cake box it tells you to not eat raw cake batter right? Well, me and Jane didn't see that. We both woke up the next morning puking all over each other. Now we were laying on the bathroom floor together suffering from salmonella.

"You know, this gives me major déjà vu." Jane attempted to laugh, but accidentally threw up in her mouth.

"Holy shit!" I exclaimed weakly, sitting up to aid my sick girlfriend, "Are you ok?"

She leaned over the toilet to spit the vomit out, "How about you ask me tomorrow?" After that she proceeded to lay her head down on my lap.

"I might vomit all over you, Jane." I warned her. She pouted and sat up.

"Fine I'm getting in the bathtub then." She climbed weakly into the bathtub and groaned in pain.

"I'm suing that fucking white little dough man on the cake box for making the warning fine print." I grumbled, laying on the ground and curling into a fetal position.

"Max.."

"What?.."

"I-" and then Jane was cut off by vomiting all over herself in the bathtub.

She proceeded to burst into tears and turn the shower on, drenching her clothes and washing away any hope she had left.

"This is a fucking train wreck." I sighed as I watched my girlfriend have a depressive episode in the shower.

"I'm getting naked but don't make a move on me because I feel like a rotting corpse." Jane frowned, pulling her soaking wet, puke covered clothes off.

"Don't worry Jane I'm probably gonna get naked too. But not for sex. I want to get in the shower too." I pulled my clothes off too, tiredly crawling into the shower with her.

We both sat on the floor of the shower and moped, feeling like absolute shit.

"If I was to tell myself from a year ago that she'd be taking an un-romantic miserable shower with Max Mayfield while having food poisoning, she wouldn't believe me." Jane sighed and shook her head. A tiny smile crept onto her face.

"What do you mean? This is the most romantic thing we have ever done." I argued sarcastically.

knock knock knock

"Hey girls, is everything okay in there? Why is the shower on?" My mom spoke worriedly through the door.

"We're naked mom don't come in." I responded.

"Maxine! You shouldn't be doing that while you're sick-"

"No mom. We are dying in the shower together. It's nothing inappropriate." I argued.

I heard Jane snicker a little, and it made me smile too.

"We are fine, Susan!" Jane assured her.

"Oh.. Well okay! Let me know if you need anything!" My mom said with the tone mothers only use when you're sick. I don't even know what it's called.

"If I die today, at least I get to die looking at Jane Hoppers' boobs." I joked.

"And I get to die looking at yours." Jane added.

We stayed silent for a while, a few minutes maybe. And then my eyelids began to get super heavy. I couldn't help but close my eyes. After that, everything went dark. It felt like I fell asleep. And then not even a second later, I was shaken awake by Jane. There was now a towel over me and the shower was off. Jane wasn't in the tub anymore and she had my pajamas on.

"Woah.. How-? How did you get there? And how did this get here?" I asked, pointing at her and my towel.

"You slept in the bathtub all day." She answered, "I put the towel over you so you wouldn't get cold. I also brought some water and graham crackers in here just in case you woke up and wanted a snack."

"Have you been in here all day?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I only left to change and get your snack. I've been watching you to make sure that you're okay." She smiled weakly. I could tell she was still very sick.

I couldn't help but feel so loved. She stayed on the bathroom floor all day just to make sure that I was safe and taken care of. All while she was sick too.

"I don't know how I got so lucky with you, Jane." I sighed, feeling so endlessly thankful.

Her smile grew and she leaned down to place a kiss on my cheek. "And I don't know how I got so lucky with you either."

"I know our mouths probably taste so gross, but can I please have just one kiss on the mouth?" I begged.

She snickered, "Sure." She leaned down once again and connected our lips. I savored the couple seconds of contact.

I sighed contently after she pulled away and then tried to sit up. But my ass cheeks were sticking to the tub. "What the hell.. Jane you wouldn't believe this, my ass is stuck to the bathtub. Please help me up."

She shot me a confused expression before standing up and offering me a hand. I grasped her hand with my sweaty one and she attempted to pull me up. We struggled for a few seconds, but eventually I was able to stand up. My towel fell off in the process but I really didn't care.

Once I was able to stand without support, Jane bent down and grabbed a pair of boxers to hand to me.

"Oh, thanks Jane." I grinned, putting the boxers on in the shower and then cautiously stepping out with the support of Jane.

"No problem. I didn't bring a top or bra because I knew you'd want to sleep with barely anything on." Jane replied, shocking me. How the hell did she know this? I never told her I usually sleep with no top or bra when she's not around..

"You look confused.. May I ask why?" Jane questioned.

"How did you know?"

"Know what?"

"That I don't usually sleep with a top or bra on?"

"I didn't know that!" She giggled.

"Oh my god. Are you serious?" I sighed with a teeny tiny grin on my face, "Off topic but how am I going to get to bed without flashing my family?"

"Well, it's 1AM, so you could either just walk to your room without anything to worry about because nobody's awake, orrrr i could use my hands to cover your boobs just in case." Jane smirked at the last option.

"I think I'm gonna go with option two, just to be sure." I shrugged jokingly.
