AMELIA'S POV

We went up to the desk where Austin's new nurse Jess was.

"Hey Jess" Taylor said with a soft smile

"Hey Taylor, what's up" Jess replied returning the smile

"Does Austin have any openings at all today" Taylor asked

"Yes he's got one right now if that works" she replied

"Perfect can Amelia possibly take that appointment, she's not feeling good today" Taylor asked

"Yeah of course you guys can go on back to a room I'll go ahead and let Austin know your in there" she replied

"Thanks Jess" Taylor replied before going back to a room making me follow

We went into one of Austin's exam rooms and sat on the chairs on the side. We waited a couple minutes till Austin came into the room closing the door

"Hey guys what's going on" he asked a bit confused on why we were there

Taylor looked over at me waiting for me to explain

"My throat and stomach hurt" I reply

"And she's burning up so she's definitely got a fever as well" Taylor added making me look over at her

"Alright, come on up and let's take a look at you" Austin said making me cringe before going and sitting on the table.

"We'll start off with your temperature" he said sticking his thermometer in my ear making it beep

"It is quite high we'll get you a fever reducer for that" he said putting the thermometer away and grabbing his otoscope and tongue depressor

"Open for me" he said making me open my mouth and he checked my throat

"It's really red and irritated" he said going back over to his desk and grabbing a swab making me jump off the table

"No way your sticking that down my throat" I say immediately

"Amelia we have to check if you have strep so I can get you on antibiotic, you don't want to pass that to anyone" Austin replied

"No way" I reply

"Amelia please just get it over with it's super quick it'll only take 5 seconds" Taylor replied

"Fine" I whimper going back and sitting on the table

"Thanks hun" he said grabbing his tongue depressor again

I opened my mouth and he swabbed my throat making me gag.

"It's all done" he said going and putting it into the testing thing.

"Wanna lay down and we'll check your stomach" he said softly

"Please don't it hurts" I whimper

"I'll be really gentle hun, I just need to make sure it's nothing serious" he said softly

I hesitantly laid down and he started feeling my stomach making me wince

"Just seems to be a stomach bug I'll give you some meds for that as well" he said going over and grabbing stuff from his cupboards

"Austin can I get down now" I ask

"Give me one more minute hun I just wanna give you something to reduce that fever" he said sympathetically before coming over with a alcohol wipe and needle

"Austin please no" I whimper

"It'll help hun I know it sucks it unfortunately is a needle but it'll be quick" he replied wiping off my arm

I closed my eyes super tight feeling him quickly poke it in making me whimper

"It's ok your doing great" he said taking it out and putting a bandaid on my arm

"You can get down now if you want" he said going and checking my strep test

"Positive I'll grab you prescriptions for strep and your stomach infection" he said softly writing it down and handing it to Taylor

We finally were able to leave and stopped at the drugstore on the way home for my prescriptions. The rest of the day I stayed in bed trying to get better so I could go back to school. I did not like being sick
