The Half Wolf

Sick

Clarke Pov

I haven't been to school in almost 2 weeks, I haven't replied to Mia's messages because I've been to busy vomiting, Grandma has been taking care of me but she's been really tired lately, I was currently laying in bed sweating and shaking, I cough an lean over my bed to grab the bucket, I gag but there isn't anything else in my stomach to puke up so it kinda hurt, dry retching sucks.

I wipe my mouth with a tissue as I place the bucket back down, I grab my phone to see 36 new messages, I press the most recent one that was sent only a couple minutes ago

Mia: Where the hell are you?, OMG Allison is so jealous cause Derek keeps asking about you awwww how adorable and gross, I think my brother likes you :$, anyway hurry up an get to school already, missing you xxx

My phone beeps off as I sit in the cafeteria with the girls, Derek and he's idiot friends, Allison was trying to flirt with Derek who was completely ignoring her, I pull my phone out

Clarke: Sorry I haven't been messaging back, I'm really sick an it ain't pretty

Me: OMG I'm so sorry for all the messages, I didn't know, take your time getting better!, I hope you feel better soon though xxx

Clarke: hahaha I hope so too and its ok, I liked seeing how much you care haha

Me: haha well I hope you get better soon, go rest and I'll message you later to see how your going

Clarke: Ok xx

I put my phone away to see Derek looking at me "it was Clarke, she's really sick" I said frowning "oh" was all he said but he looked like he was thinking about something, he also looked unsure of what he was thinking hmmm.

I hear a knock, talking then a car leave before my door slowly opens, I look to see "Derek?" I ask croakily, he frowns as he walks over "hey I was just gonna come check on you, your Grandma had to go shopping so I'm gonna take care of you until she gets back" He says smiling at me "why did you come and not Mia?" I ask curiously "well she told me you were sick and I just wanted to check on you, is that weird or something?" He asks grinning "kinda but I don't care" I murmur an wince as a slight pain hits in my chest causing me to cough.

Derek sits on my bed dropping his bag on the ground an wraps his arm around me as I sit up grabbing the bucket an dry heaving into it "you need to eat something" He says frowning as he rubs my back "what's the point, it'll just come back up" I said weakly as I rest my head on his shoulder "yeah but it won't hurt as much if you actually have something to throw up, trust me" He says half smiling.

He leans over the side of the bed an unzipped his bag, he sits back up an holds out a packet of Doritos, I shook my head so he opens them an pulls one out "come on, one bite for Mia" He says cheekily as he puts it near my mouth, I gulp before taking a bite, I slowly chew an swallow, he made me eat more an like I told him I vomited it back up, orange puke yucky.

A Couple Hours Later

Grandma was asleep and Derek was still here, were watching a movie in the living room, I feel way better, I started feeling better when Derek got here like no joke, is that weird? I'm not complaining or anything but I'm curious at how his presence took away my sickness, maybe its because he takes my mind of everything, Mia texted me earlier if I'd seen Derek, he told me to say no which felt weird to lie to her.

"I should probably go, I'm glad your feeling better" Derek says an stood up "thanks for taking care of me" I said softly, he smiled at me before he left, I lay on the couch an smile before I decide to take a nap.
