Someone To Stay [bxb]

Chapter 8

                       Lucas

Weeks fly by real quick without any troubles although I have been feeling sick lately, if I'm not feeling dizzy then I'm vomiting with every chance I get . That has caused a lot of absent days from school, making Mrs. Kevens more angry at me .

" Why can't you just get better? Are you faking it so that you cannot go to school?" Mrs. Kevens questions, standing at the door with her hands on her hips.

" No, I'm not ." I say, leaning against the toilet, I have been vomiting since 5AM or something . Today is worse than any other day.

" Of course you are!" She throws a fit then leaves me there, feeling sorry for myself and wishing I could just stop feeling sick already .

" Are you still feeling sick?" Joshua finds me heaving in the toilet, kneeling down me beside while brushing my back.

" Ugh...yes! " I groan, accepting the glass of water he gives me after a few heaves with nothing coming out of my mouth.

" It has been a week already, I miss school and just being not sick!" I say after taking a small sip.

" Yeah, we miss you too." Joshua gives me a small pained smile . 

Because of this, I can't see anyone, Joshua pitched in against his mother's will , so here he is . Only Mrs. Kevens and him visit me more often with either food or water . Apparently, whatever I have might be contagious for Elizabeth and the others .

I haven't even managed to bring up the topic of me being someone else's son yet to the Kevens. The following day, Nathan claimed that whatever he said was bullshit and I shouldn't believe a thing that came out of his mouth. I was a big disappointed and not really shocked . Him loving me like that? That is simply impossible . And these days, he seem to even hate being in the same room with me unless he has to be . Always joking around, and getting on my last nerves. I haven't even seen him since I have been sick .

" See you after school then." Joshua looks over me one more time" I hope you get better . I don't like seeing you like this." He pats my back and exits the bathroom .

After a few rounds of either heaving or vomiting, I stumble my way to my messy bed and try getting myself as comfortable as possible .

I hear the door open , I instantly wish the world could swallow me whole . Mrs. Kevens, once again with her lectures .

" Go away Mrs. Kevens!" I murmur, waving her off with my head on the pillow . Not wanting to do anything but sit that way for a while .

" Actually, it's me ." Nathan's voice makes me sit up quickly, resulting in me landing on the floor with a huge 'thud!' . " Oh gosh!" I cry out .

" Didn't know my presence alarms you that bad ." Nathan laughs at me without a care in the world . Just great!.

" Can you help your brother out?" I raise my hand so he could pull me up .

" The same brother who refused me to fuck him?" He raises his brows " Nope , figure it out yourself ." He waves me off .

I roll my eyes at his childishness "Then why are you even here then Nathan?"

" Didn't my mom tell you that I'm taking you to the doctor's?"

" I don't think so ." I try to dig deep inside my mind for that kind of memory but I come up with nothing .

" You must have forgotten, just like you forgot to throw on a shirt . " He motions toward my bare chest . Smirking when I get up quickly " There we go, you can get up on your own after all ."

Oops! Getting up that fast was a bad idea because the minute I try to walk in the bathroom, I go all dizzy and prepare for another painful fall of my life, however I end up in warm strong hands .

" Can't let you die on my watch ." Nathan helps me stand up and walks me to the bathroom . At this point, protesting is the last thing on my mind. I need all the help in the world to beat whatever is making me sick

" You should definitely shower" Nathan even goes out of his way to turn the shower on for me . " Come on, get in!"

" While you are still here?"

" You know leaving you alone for one second is a bad idea? What if you slip and fall ? Who's gonna catch you then?" Nathan scolds me sternly. Like he cares!

He's got a point though, I might as well just swallow my pride and get in there . It's not like he has never seen me naked, well mostly my butt but what's there to complain about? We are both guys, we are cool, minus the fact that we have had sex.

I strip down and Nathan helps me get in the shower . Of course, checking me out too but I pay no mind to the lustful looks he's giving me .

" You do have a nice ass, I will give you that ." He mutters. 

" When I get better, I'm gonna murder your ass !" I give him the middle finger and he just laughs it off .

I try to close the shower door but Nathan stops me " What if you fall in there too and I'm unable to save you?" He even bites down his lower lip, staring me down .

" Then I will scream out your name when I do ." Then I slam the door on his disappointed face .

I quickly shower , thinking of what could be the reason I'm sick. I have never felt this worse , this sick in my entire 16 years on earth . The pain,the constant vomiting and dizziness is killing me . Even the sudden urges to vomit every second when I smell certain food, that obviously used to be my favourite .

I step out of the shower a few minutes later to be wrapped up in a fluffy towel . " Thanks?" I look over at Nathan who has nothing but a proud smile on his face .

" You are welcome, anyways come on . We don't have the whole day . "

By the time I arrive in my bedroom, I accept that today, Nathan isn't going to leave my side, I lotion myself while he picks out clothes for me to wear .

" You have too many jeans in here man." He comes back with a pair of jeans and a shirt " I don't think you will fit in any of the clothes, looking at how much weight you have gained ."

" Wow!" I scoff, feeling offended . " You  are lying . I haven't gained a pound ." I look over myself in the mirror.

My face falls when I realise that he's right . How can a person gain weight in like a week of bed rest? , even my flat stomach is somehow a little bigger and round .

" Don't worry, I got a hoodie to hide that food stomach of yours ." Nathan tries to cheer me up but that only makes me feel worse.

I silently throw on some clothes and take on Nathan's offer of his hoodie . I can't walk around like this . Its embarrassing.
