JJs POV
"Can I crash here?" Ava asked John B. "Yeah of course." She nods. "Thanks JB. Good night babe." She says kissing my cheek and standing up. "You heading to bed already?" Kie asked sounding disappointed. "Yeah. I didn't sleep great last night." She says walking inside. "I'll be in soon." I say confused. I know for a fact she slept a solid 9 hours. "She seem off to you?" I ask the group. "I don't know." John B shrugs. "She has had a lot on her plate. She is probably just tired." Kiara shrugs. "She did seem a little off." Pope shrugs. "Exactly. What did you notice?" I ask Pope. "I don't know. She was pretty quiet and I saw her grabbing Advil before we went on the boat." I bite my lip. "She probably just had a headache. She's fine JJ. If you're really worried just go check on her." John B sighs. I nod and take the last swig of my beer and pass the blunt to Kie before going inside. I knock on the door once before going in just to give her the heads up. "Hey baby." I say walking in. She was curled up in the blankets shivering. It was pretty warm out so this concerned me. I walk to the other side of the bed and see she put the trashcan next to her. I sigh and kneel down in-front of her. She was deathly pale and her eyes were tired and glazed over. She had tear stains on her cheeks. "Not feeling great cupcake?" She shakes her head a little. "I'm sorry." She mummers quietly. "Why are you sorry baby?" I ask ruffling her blonde hair. "I didn't wanna ruin your night." I shake my head. "You didn't ruin anything baby. Can I lay with you?" She nods. "Yes. Please." I kick off my dirty boots and take my shirt off before crawling under the covers with her. Even though she was shivering her skin was burning up. I press my body against her trying to provide her some warmth or comfort. She whimpers and scooted closer to me. "What hurts baby?" I question tucking stray hair behind her ear. "My stomach hurts. And I'm so cold." She cried. I put one arm on her stomach and rub gentle circles. "I'm sorry baby girl." She doesn't say anything and just snuggled against me. Once I am sure she is asleep I get my phone out of my pocket and text John B.
-Maggie is sick. I'm gonna stay with her. Night
He responded a few seconds later.
-Text me if either of you need anything. Night.
I put my phone of the charger before going back to cuddling my sick girlfriend.
Maggie's POV
I wake up feeling waves of heat rolling off my body. I go to kick the blackest and realize there are arms wrapped around me. I grab JJs arm and pull it off me leaning over the bed and start to retch into the bucket next to me. I'm happy I put it there last night. After a couple heaves I puke up the burgers John B made last night. I feel hands on my back and JJ pulls my hair back. "You alright?" JJ asked morning voice very apparent. "I'm sorry." I choke out. "I didn't ask you if you were sorry." He deadpans rubbing my back. I roll over and burry my head into his chest. He was sitting up against the headboard. I just start sobbing. "What's wrong?" He asked ruffling my hair. "I'm sorry." I cry again. "What's wrong Maggie?" He repeated rubbing my back in soothing circles. "I feel like I'm slowing you down." I sob. He paused. "What do you mean?" I bite my lip. "You guys would have had the gold by now if it wasn't for me." I sob. "Baby you got shot. That wasn't your fault. It was Wards." I cry harder. "Is that why you didn't tell me you didn't feel good?" I nod again. "You're not slowing me down. You are making my life a million times-" I stop him when I roll over puking into the bucket again. "Oh! Ok! You're alright." He mutters pulling my hair back. I groan and take a couple breaths to settle my stomach. "I'm gonna dump this. You need anything?" I shake my head.
JJs POV
"Alright. I'll be right back baby." I say kissing her forehead. She felt really warm. "Let's take this off." I say helping her out of her champion hoodie. I toss it in the hamper and she cuddles under the covers as I head to the bathroom. I dump her puke bucket and rinse it out in the tub before heading to the kitchen. "Everything good man?" John B asked from the couch. Him and Sarah were currently in an argument and she got the bed so he got the pull out in his own house. "Maggie's not feeling great. Threw up twice already." I sigh grabbing her some water. "That sucks. Advil in the cabinet." He says pointing above the stove. I nod and grab her two pills in hopes it reduces the fever. I walk back to my room and find Maggie cuddled up in the blankets sleeping peacefully. I smile and put everything on the end table before laying next to her. Even her sleep she cuddled me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and put her leg over me before nuzzling her head in the crook of my neck. I laugh to myself and play with her hair for a minute before falling asleep.
JJs POV
I wake up in the bed alone. I immediately grew concerned and hurried out of the room finding Maggie smiling and laughing in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand. Kiara and John B were talking with her. "You alright Baby?" I question kissing the top of her head and hugging her from behind. "Yeah I'm fine." She smiles putting her coffee in the table and turning around to hug me. "Fine?" I question putting my hand on her forehead. Her fever seemed to break. "Yeah it must have been like a 12 hour thing. I feel a lot better." She smiles up at me. I raise my eyebrows unconvinced. "I promise." She giggles. "Can we pleeeasssssse go out on the boat?" I roll my eyes. "Absolutely not. You're sick Maggie." She pouts. "I'm fine! I promise! I haven't thrown up since last night! I don't feel sick at all! I kept my breakfast down! I really wanna go on the boat! Please!" She says sticking out her bottom lip and giving me puppy eyes. "You need to rest." She nods. "I can sleep on the boat. Please J." I sigh. "Fine. But if you get too tired, or dizzy or nauseous we are turning around and you're on bed rest." She smile and jumps up and down. "Yay! Thank you!!" I laugh at her childishness.
