seven souls (the black phone characters x reader)

chapter sixty-nine

Like I had predicted the next day I couldn't get out of bed. My body was overheated as I held a fan to my face, a little bag rest next to me filled to the brim with tissue. My running nose wasn't helping either as I took another tissue blowing my nose throwing it down. My mother wasn't surprised as she had gone to the store to buy me medicine and chicken noodle soup leaving me stuck on bed rest. Boredom came kicking in as I tossed and turned in bed forcing myself to just get in another nap. My mother came bursting into my room setting a couple cough drops on the side of my bed with a glass of water and an Advil for my headache as I snatched it away from her grabbing the water and chugging it down with the pill.

"Sweetie, I have to go to work. Do you need anything else?" she questioned running her hand over my head. I shook my head no slightly pulling away from her as she mumbled something under her breath before walking off closing my door behind. I sat up in bed listening carefully for the roaring engine to pull away before I jumped out of bed wrapping a throw blanket around my body making my way out to the living room at least tv could keep me company. I fell back on the couch reaching down for the remote, turning the tv on searching for any interesting thing that was playing. A knock came from behind as I jolted, sitting upright turning my head quickly as the knocking continued. Wanting to investigate what was going on I jumped off the couch making my way to the front door unlocking it poking my head out noticing all the boys were standing there.

"What are you all doing?"

"We come to give you gift" Vance said sarcastically

"Oh really?" I said, playing along as he rolled his eyes.

"No idiot we come to check up on you"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine" I said using the end of my sleeve wiping my nose as snot was starting to run down like a waterfall. None of the boys bought it though as each of them made their way inside before they could freeze their ass off. Griffin ran over to the bathroom while Vance went into my kitchen searching for junk food with the help of Robin while Finn, Billy, Bruce took a seat near me on the couch as I laid my head back against Finn chest while Bruce let me use him as a leg rest and Billy was sitting on the floor looking up at me.

"How do you feel?" Finn questions running his hand through my hair.

"Like death" I claimed, closing my eyes a little at the slight comfort. Robin came back taking over Finn spot so he could cook me some chicken noodle soup as Robin wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer resting my head on his chest as I could hear a constant thumb from his heart like a rhythm to a song. I wanted to stay like that but I couldn't. I pushed myself away from robin moving over to the other side away from them as each of them looked disappointed.

"Did I do something wrong?" Robin question

"No no I just don't want you to get sick that also counts for the rest of you"

"Don't care doll" Vance said behind me scooping me up into his arms. I let out a yelp kicking my way around trying to get out of his grip as he sat me down on the ground keeping me on his lap while the others joined in. Finn crouched down sitting next to Robin handing me the bowl of soup along with a spoon. There was no way of getting out of this. I sat back against Vance taking the spoon, swirling it around the bowl before taking a sip. Soon Vance shoved me off of him being done with the caring mode as I rolled my eyes. I handed Finn back the empty bowl as he got up, dumping it into the sink.

"Finn, how did you know how to cook?"

"I had to cook for me and Gwen sometimes"

"Oh okay" I said turning my attention to the tv where Bruce had some baseball game playing. he notices me looking and grabbed the remote.

"What do you want to watch?" he asked with a kind warm smile looking down at me. 

"it's okay Bruce you can watch baseball" I said getting up on my feet making my way to the bathroom closing the door behind me. I felt my stomach twist and turned sweat running down my head. an idea came to my head of taking my own little spa, but I didn't want to be rude and leave the boys alone then again looking at myself I looked like a walking zombie. I poked my head out the bathroom noticing the boys were all sitting on the couch watching a sport game as I let out a cough grabbing all their attention.

"Umm do any of you mind if I take a bath?" I asked nervously rubbing the back of my neck as each of them responded with a no. I closed the door again turning on the faucet running my hand under the running water checking the temperature just until it was right then I took of my clothes stepping into the tub grabbing a bottle of body wash pouring it under the water watching the surface pop with bubbles. I sat back kicking my legs over the side of the tub laying my head back. the water wrapped around me rising up to the surface as I leaned over turning the faucet off sitting back once again closing my eyes then I realized I had no towel when I would get out. 

"GUYS!" I yelled out at the top of my lungs hoping it would grab their attention as the door swung open each of the boys standing there as I wrapped my arms around myself to hide my body. 

"What do you need?" Billy asked 

"Umm can one of you grab me a towel and please shut the door!" I spoke as Bruce leaned over shutting the door quickly. my face turned a bright red out of embarrassment for the boys idiotic as the door creaked open with one of them throwing a towel quickly before slamming the door shut. "Thank you!"

the boys sat back on the couch still with red faces trying to watch the game and forget about the accident. meanwhile I was still lying in the tub before the water grew cold as I got out wrapping the towel around me sneaking me way back to my room picking up a pair of pj's walking back out into the living room taking a seat acting like nothing happened as we all started watching a show for the rest of the day before a car engine pulled up as I turned off the tv shoving the boys to my room snapping my fingers to the window. they got the message jumping out the window as I slammed it shut pulling the curtains back jumping on my bed lying back closing my eyes as my mother opened the door taking a peek inside before closing it. that was close.
