I woke up with a stuffy nose and my face was burning hot and i was shivering. I get out of bed and go to the kitchen with my blanket covering me. I sit down with my mom and ben who are at the kitchen table. 

"mom i think i have a fever, like a bad one." i say lying my head down on the table

"let me see" she says standing up and touching my forehead "shit, honey youre burning"

"woah mom language" i say grinning "i dont think i can go to school today"

"yeah, you cant. Go to bed ill bring you some medicine" my mom says patting my shoulder

"okay, thank you mommyyy" i say dragging out the y and going to my room.

My mom comes in my room and gives me a pill. I drink it and she stays home with me just in case. Ben goes to work. I take a long warm shower and do my skincare. I dig in the pile of clothes in my closet until i find some plaid pijama pants and one of chris' hoodies. I put them on and dry my hair. I go downstairs and see hailey sitting on the couch with my mom. I sit down in between them

"momm" i say with a raspy voice

"yeah?" she asks looking at me

"i think im dying" i say throwing me head back

"youre not, dont worry. Go sleep" she says patting my shoulder

"i cant, chris is coming in 15 minutes" i say standing up

"oh you two lovebirds" hailey says dramatically

"sh sh sh" i say putting my finger on her mouth "im going to my room"

"bye bye" hailey says

i go to my room and wait for chris to arrive after 10 minutes, i hear someone open my door. chris. I smile gently and get up and hug him. He kisses my head and i lie back down and so does he

"how ya feeling?" he asks smiling softly

"horrible" i say chuckling. I see chris leaning in but i pull away "you'll get sick too, not right now"

"i dont careee" chris says dragging out the e

"fine then" i say, when hes just about to kiss me, i swerve and kiss his cheek

he throws his head back as i giggle "COME ONNN" he whines

"no, i dont want you to get sick" i say playing with his hair

"but i dont care" chris says sadly

"well i do" i say looking at him

"pretty pleaseee" he says with puppy eyes

"nope" i say pulling my face away from him

"fine" chris says crossing his arms

"can we watch netflix or something, im bored" i say grabbing my remote

"mhm" he says 

i put on high school musical and fall asleep after 20 minutes, i wake up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous. Chris is asleep next to me, his arms are wrapped around me. I try to get out of his grip but he holds on tighter

"chris, babe" i whisper shaking him slightly

"where are you goinggg" he asks groggily

"i have to go to the bathroom" i say 

"mm nooo" chris says 

"unless you want me to throw up all over you, i suggest you let me go" i whisper

chris lets go of me and i go in the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I literally throw my guts up. Once im done, i wash my hands and splash water on my face. I dry myself and i turn off the lights and close the door, i lay back down and chris wraps his arms around me again.

"you okay?" he asks me, his hair over his closed eyes

"im okay" i say softly, taking his hair out his face

"are you sure?" he asks with raspy voice

"im fine, chris." i say smiing gently

"okay, what time is it?" he asks opening his eyes

"5 am" i say putting my phone away

"come on" he says getting out of bed

"where are we going?" i ask getting up

"we're going to take a swim" he says

"oh, let me get my swim suit on" i say opening my drawer, chris closes it

"we'll go in with our pijamas" chris says grabbing my hand

we walk down the stairs as quietly as possible, we go into my backyard and chris cannonballs into my pool, i get in by the little stairs. We stay in there for like 30 minutes and then go back in the house. I shower and then chris showers. I put on some dry pijamas and chris puts on some pijamas that i stole from him. We fall asleep again.
