Matt's pov:
The school bell just rang now, i went to nick and as we were waiting for chris outside of the class, we saw him pack his bag fastly then came out in rush, but I pulled his hand

"hey, where are you going? you're not coming with us?" I ask,

"no no, you guys go without me, sorry i have to go" chris said as he pulled his hand away and ran.

Chris's pov:
"Where's shee?" I said as i ran around anxiously looking for her, i freeze when i see her, she's walking to the exit of the school building, she's coughing again, she looks like she's about to faint, and she's barely holding her steps, my heart drops when i see her walk to her motorcycle, suddenly
My legs move on its own running to her, i run faster than I ever did, i can't let her drive in this state.

Abby's pov:
I opened my eyes to see myself in a white place with a lot of people sounds around, i hear a peeping sounds too, i move my head to look around, oh I'm in a hospital,..huh? Why? I look at myself to notice that I'm wearing a hospital gown, then i notice a head laying to my right side on the bed and sitting on a chair beside the bed, that's chris, i don't remember anything at all, what happened? I rustle around a little then chris looks up fast, i jolt , he isn't a light sleeper so i didn't think he would wake up

"oh! Abby! You awake? Are you okay now? Do you feel better now? Do you need anythin-" i cut chris off

"woah woah, little by little, my head is hurting again chris" i say holding my head

"Oh, sorry, i was just so worried, are you okay?" Chris says in lower and gentler voice

"yeah I'm okay, are you sleepy? You were sleeping here" i say

"oh no no! I was sleepy a little but now I'm not sleepy anymore , i took a good nap" chris says,
i look down under his eyes, this boy has dark circles under his eyes, he looks tired though, i try to get up and chris instantly gets up to help me,

"What happened? I don't remember" i ask

"You passed out, you were so tired that you fainted, you have a heavy cold, you shouldn't have come to school today if you're tired" chris explains

"oh, it's because i didn't know i had a cold, but it's okay i don't have to be at a hospital, i always do nothing when i get sick and i recover on my own" i say proudly, i see it as a talent, chris doesn't say anything as he looks at me speechless

"why? Where are your parents? They're supposed to take care of you" chris says, ugh i don't wanna explain so he doesn't pity me

"my parents are divorced from when I was four, and i used to live at my dad's house until last year, he used to always tell he doesn't have money, so it kinda have made a habit of not asking for anything even i need this thing" i explain,

i look at chris, oh no, he's giving the look i wished he never would give me, it's pity

"but it's okay! Now i live with mom, she's much more better" i say, he doesn't say anything still,

"Chris, it's really okay, please don't give me this lo-" i get cut off by chris, he suddenly pulls me closer as he also leans in, he's hugging me, he has his head on my left shoulder, he always leans in his face more to my neck, he has one of his hands wrapped around my waist, and the other around my upper back, he's patting my back, i was about to tell him it's okay, but i could tell my voice is shaky from my shaking breath, i say nothing for a solid two minutes, but i stay in his warm hug, my hands move more up and i hug him back, i lay my head on his shoulder, I'm comfortable and i feel safe, that's all i can think of right now, his hands go tighter and so do mine.

When we were done, we sit there awkwardly and keep glancing at each other,

"thanks, i feel better" i say smiling, chris is face brightens up and he smiles gently,
i guess he's happy that I'm happy, the nurse came then told me i can get discharged now, we both get up and i change into my clothes, i get out of the hospital and it's already night, i go to a pharmacy to buy the medicines the doctor wrote down, chris was with me the whole day, I'm thankful for that, i get out of the pharmacy, i see chris waiting outside holding his phone, he looks at me then smiles, i walk to him

"what are you hesitating about?" I ask as i see him fidge and keeps playing with his phone cover,

"i, um, I'm gonna call matt and nick and tell them that you passed out today, they keep telling me you're not answering your phone and i they say that they're sure you're with me, so should i tell the-" i cut him off

"please don't tell them!" I say fastly,

"let's keep that a secret chris, between you and me.." chris looks at the ground and takes a moment to think , then looks up again at me

"okay, this is something that is about you, so you're free to choose to tell them or not, and I'll agree and help you whether it's either of those" Chris says, that reassured me, i smile and i pull him in for a hug, then i pull away

"thanks, Chrissy" i say as i started to get going.

Chris's pov:
Ohohoho, me and abby have our own secret now, and she also hugged me and said chriss- WAIT, what am i thinking? Why do i care?

"Hey, are you coming or.." abby asks as she has overcomed me in steps and looks back at me

" oh , coming coming" i say as i run to her.

I made sure she went home safe, I'm in front of my house door , ugh, get yourself ready chris ,for all the investigation that's gonna happen the moment i step in, i take a breath then i open the door, and as expected, they both come running to me

"wait WAIT, let me close the door first!" i say trying to close it,

after i close it, they both pull me and they make me sit at the couch, they both stay standing up, i look away and sigh , it's not the first time they do this, I'm used to this shit,

"so tell us, did you take abby somewhere again without telling us?" Nick asks

"i saw her motorbike In front of the school, that means she didn't go home, and you also left so that means you took her" matt adds,

I'm still looking away, I'm actually baffled

"no i didn't take anyone anywhere,  i texted her when you kept bugging me, she told me she was feeling tired so she didn't drive the motorcycle so nothing bad happens and she was asleep the whole day, check your phones mabye she texted you back" i say nodding my head towards their phones,

both of their phones get a notification, they both turn their faces to the phones fastly , they run to their phones, i roll my eyes as matt almost stumbles, they check their notification, i smirk knowing what she wrote

" oh, she's saying ' I'm sorry guys, i was asleep and had my phone on silent, so i didn't hear you calling, I'm okay, thanks for worrying about me tho' she sent it in our group chat " nick says out loud,

"see, i told you" i say as I get up to go to my room,
"goodnight " i say walking away leaving them looking at each other embarrassed , i walk to my room and close the door, the poker face i had breaks as i cover my mouth laughing, i hop on my bed and open my phone, she sent me 'done!!' , god she's so cute.

Abby's pov:
Ah, I'm finally done, i put my hand down from holding my phone, i lay my head on the pillow and i look at the ceiling, i was ignoring nick the whole day, i rejected matt and hurt him, but they still care and worry about me, they're such good friends, they keep up with all the shit i do, i really don't wanna lose them, i close my eyes when it overloads with tears, I'm tired, i just want all of this to end.
