KIERA

I had caught fever and I couldn't move at all. My head was pounding and I wanted to throw up. Nothing seemed nice. I didn't even have the energy to move and make some soup for me.

AVA

Ava called Kiera to thank her for yesterday.

Ava: Hello. Hello? Hello? Why aren't you answering?

Kiera: You're the ...one who drank.... Why I ... am the one... who is sick?

Ava: You're sick? Where does it hurt?

Kiera: My whole body hurts.

Ava: Did you go to the hospital?

Kiera: I can barely move my lips to talk.

Ava: Call your parents then.

Kiera: They just left. I don't want to bother them.

Ava: Oh then. What to do? I have to work till late today. Should I call Maeve?

Kiera: No leave it. She also must be busy. If I rest I will be okay. Bye.

IAN

Ethan: Sir.

Ian: What?

Ethan: Are we going to the meeting together?

Ian: I cannot go.

Ethan: Why?

Ian: I have a test to attend.

The thought of the reference made me smile. Ethan didn't get it so he looked at me weird.

Ethan: I really question your thoughts but okay.

CALEB

A big part of being a photographer is editing. I was surfing through the 500 photos I clicked. I had to edit some and send to places I wanted to work with. Not having a PR is bad. Kind of missing Jack. I checked my messages to see Kiera hadn't checked my message yet. I printed the photos and then had to cut those carefully. I took a nice looking mail and went to the courier office with it. After I was done I went to the cafe where Kiera worked.

Owner: She didn't come today. She has serious fatigue.

Caleb: Oh thank you for telling.

Owner: A lot of people came looking for her. I mean a good looking guy just a while before you came to find her. I thought that's her boyfriend.

Caleb: He's not her boyfriend.

I didn't know why I had the urge to clarify that to her. But I did.

KIERA

My phone buzzed. The room was dark and the brightness of my phone could almost blind me. I picked up the phone without seeing who called.

Kiera: Hello?

Ian: I heard you were sick. Have you gone to the hospital yet?

Kiera: Is it evening already?

Ian: You didn't take any medicine or eat anything, right?

Kiera: I was sleeping. I lost track of time.

Ian: Come out. Let's get you in the hospital.

Kiera: What??

Ian: I'm at your house.

Kiera: That's not possible. No no I can't come.

As much as I needed to be at a hospital. I didn't want Ian to see me like this. I was sick. I looked horrible and no this was a nightmare.
