04, little help

The next day I decided that I wouldn't go with Kie to the boys and I would stay at home today. I slept most of the day, I was tired from all this. Especially with my illness, I wondered if I was doing the wrong thing by not telling JJ about it, but if he found out, he would only pay attention to me because I was sick, not because he loved me.

I sighed softly and finally got out of bed to head to the kitchen. All this thinking made me hungry, the fridge was empty, so I had to go to the store. I quickly tied my hair into a ponytail and put on my shoes as I left the house. At that moment, I was glad that I lived in figure eight and I was unlikely to encounter any pouges here.

I locked the door and put the keys on the lanyard around my neck so as not to lose them anywhere. I started walking towards the nearest store, and after a while I felt the first effects of the disease, because my legs started to buckle on their own. It was hard for me to take the next steps and I started to feel dizzy. I walked as quickly as I could to the nearest tree and sat down under it. I hid in the shade and leaned my back against the bark of a tree.

I don't know how long I sat there, but it was long enough for JJ to find me. I have no idea what he was doing here, I didn't expect him to be so far from their side of the island.

"JJ?" I looked at him in embarrassment, trying to get back on my feet. However, I quickly lost my balance and fell to my knees.

"Kate? Are you okay?" The boy quickly ran to me, helping me get up. However, he noticed that I wouldn't be able to take the next step without help. So he put my arm around his shoulder and at the same time wrapped his arms around my waist. "What happened?" I heard worry in his voice, which was unlike him

I was helping to deliver Heyward's goods from Pope, but on my way back I noticed Kate sitting under one of the trees near her house. She looked very weak and barely able to communicate.

"Everything's fine, J." she replied, only answering my first question. I was very worried to see her in such a condition. "I left the house because I was hungry and the fridge was empty and I wanted to go to the store, but after a while my legs started to give way and somehow I ended up under a tree." It was a bit strange, because today there was no great heat, on the contrary. It was colder than usual, so Kate certainly couldn't have been weakened by a stroke.

"Do you know why this happened?" I asked, wanting to find out by deduction what caused her weakness. The girl just looked at me and shook her head. For some reason I didn't believe her and I knew she knew something about it. "I'll take you home." I sighed quietly as I led her to her house. Fortunately, it wasn't far and we got there quickly. I led her upstairs to her room, sitting her on the bed. "Lie down and I'll be back soon."

I quickly ran downstairs, grabbing a smaller towel that I found in the bathroom and soaking it in cold water. I took some ice cubes out of the freezer and wrapped them in a wet towel. I returned back to the brunette, placing an icy towel on her forehead to cool her down a bit. My mother always did this to me before she left me alone with my father. I sat on the end of the bed next to the girl, watching her.

"Are you feeling a little better?" I asked, not taking my eyes off her. I felt like a guardian angel at that moment. I rarely helped anyone, only my loved ones. Kate wasn't very close to me, we didn't talk much. Although things have changed a bit lately, I've started talking to her more.

"Mhm, my head hurts so much." the girl replied, looking at me a little strangely, had I been looking at her for too long? However, I quickly came up with an idea how to help her.

"I know what can help you with your headache." I smiled smartly, taking a joint out of my pocket. This miracle helped with everything.

"JayJ, are you feeling okay? I shouldn't smoke with you." I rolled my eyes, getting up from the bed and going to the window, which I opened.

"Oh, smoke it right away, take a few puffs and you won't feel pain anymore." I replied, taking a lighter from my other pocket.

"Okay, but if my parents come back and smell weed, I'll blame it all on you." I laughed, agreeing to her arrangement.

I lit the lighter and lit the joint, which I immediately gave to the girl. She looked at me before she took a puff, and I watched so as not to have to intervene.

"That's enough, you'll get airless." I took the joint from her, and the brunette let out a sigh of relief as if it wasn't the first time she had done it. "You did better the first time than I did." I laughed again today. Being around Kate began to give me pleasure, I felt at ease and comfortable with her.

I also inhaled the herb and passed it on. When the girl was taking another puff, she seemed to slowly start to feel something. I noticed this because she had already removed the compress from her forehead and stood up on her own feet. She came up to me and put a joint in my mouth, did it make me feel weird? I have no idea what to call this feeling I felt at that moment. As the brunette stood so close to me, my body began to react with a sudden wave of heat. Without protesting, I inhaled, exhaling the smoke from my mouth.

Instead of focusing on the girl's eyes, my gaze moved lower to her lips. I didn't know what was happening to me at that moment, I had never felt this way with any girl. Even with Kie, whom I had been trying to attract for a long time, but Kate... She had something about her that attracted me to her even more. I was so close to her that we were only centimeters apart, it was time for me to kiss her. Luckily, Kiara burst into the room, interrupting it. I don't know if if Kie hadn't come in, I wouldn't have regretted what I would have done later.

I quickly moved away from the brunette and, avoiding Kiara, ran out of the room. I went outside and smoked the rest of the marijuana. What possessed me, why did I want to kiss Kate? Maybe it's because of this joint. No, definitely not. This never happened after smoking weed, after one I could still think straight. But today? Today something completely new happened to me, something I never thought I would do. The girl probably wasn't thinking very clearly at the time.
