Promises

Chapter 29

Jack Js POV

I got out of school exhausted. Jack didn't come today because he didn't feel so well. But at least it's Friday and we don't have school tomorrow.

I walked well limped out of the school and saw jacks mom in her car waving to me.

"Hello!" I said opening the door and climbing in.

"Hi Jack! Hi was school?" She asked.

"It was good." I told her looking out the window.

"Good." She said.

"How's jack?" I asked breaking the silence.

"He's gotten better but he threw up a little later after you left." She said and I frowned.

"Oh okay." I said sighing.

A little while after we pulled into the driveway and I grabbed my bag and limped up to the front steps.

"Thanks." I said as she opened the door for me allowing me to get inside.

"I'm gonna run to the store really quickly I'll be back in about two hours." His mom told me and I nodded and she left.

"Jack?" I called out.

"I'm in my room!" I heard he say and I sighed knowing I will have to walk up the stairs.

I eventually got up and went to jacks door. I knocked softly and cracked the door.

"Jack? Are you okay?" I asked peaking my head in and he was closing his eyes pale white on the bed. Hairs were sticking to his forehead.

"Honey!" I said worried. I went over to his side and pulled the covers off of him knowing he must be hot.

"B-babe." He stuttered trying to sit up.

"No baby." I said pushing him gently back down.

"It's really hot in here." He told me.

"I know sweetie. I'll be right back." I told him going over to the bathroom.
I grabbed a cloth and ran it under cold water.

I went back over to Jack and placed it on his forehead.

"Thanks." He managed to get out.

"Of course." I said kissing his lips.

I went over to the closet and slipped off my shoe and my shirt. I went back over to jack and lied beside him.

"Wanna just take a nap?" I asked him.

"Mmmm." He mumbled.

"I'm taking that as a yes." I smiled going up close to him and wrapping my arm around his torso.

*****************

"Boys?" I heard his moms soft voice ask from outside the door.

I yawned sitting up and patting jacks leg.

"Jack baby." I whispered running my hands up and down his arm which was oddly cold.

"Honey?" I asked placing the back of my hand on his forehead. His head was very warm.

"Someone I need help!" I yelled putting my ear against his chest hoping to hear a heart beat.

Luckily there was.

"What! What is it!?" His mom said bursting through the door.

"Jacks not waking up!" I told her.

"Jack! Jack baby. It's me." His mom said brushing his hair out of his face.

He opened his eyes open slowly. I smiled grabbing his cold hand.
