I rolled over in my bed and felt a headache coming on the second I woke up which really sucked. Slowly sitting up I thought I would feel better that only seemed to make it worse. My nose was beginning to get stuffy and my throat felt dry. Footsteps came from the hallway and I heard whoever it was pause outside my door. "Hey Y/n, my mom is making breakfast. Woah you don't look too good."

"Thanks Alex - uh I didn't know that." I started coughing and then reached over needing to blow my nose into some tissues.

He entered my room with a sad expression. "I can get my mom to check you out if you want."

"Please do." I whimpered, sounding so helpless tugging the covers back over my chest.

He nodded, rushing out of the room and going downstairs to go get her. "On it, Y/n." Once he was gone I yanked the coves over my head screaming and coughing into my blankets.

"Sounds like there's a dying angry animal in here. Oh no sorry it's just you Y/n." I noticed the voice of Cole who when I peaked my head above the blanket saw that he was leaning in my doorway.

Grumbling under my breath I really wasn't in the mood for his teasing. "Go away Cole. I'm not feeling good and you'll just make it worse."

"Ah now I'm offended since most people find my company to be quite enjoyable." He walked into my bedroom sitting down on the side of my bed moving the cover down from my eyes so he could see some of my face.

"Well I d-don't-" I attempted to say but another coughing fit had to hit me right before his mother and Alex came back into my bedroom.

Catherine sat down and pushed Cole off the bed, putting a hand to my forehead. "Oh you're burning up. You'll just have to stay in bed today and miss the fair."

"Okay Skylar and Tara won't be happy." I responded in a tired breath.

She shakes her head eyeing her older son. "I'm sure they'll understand honey. Cole, I need you to stay and take care of her."

"What the hell!" He raised his voice, accidentally cursing at his mother.

I sat upright on the pillows but had a coughing fit as a result. "No! He doesn't need to be here..."

"This is not up for discussion. Y/n you are really sick and Cole you will be staying home to take care of her. Because you're grounded after we found out you were sneaking girls out of the house. Come on, Alex." She got to her feet and she left with Alex following her downstairs leaving us alone in my bedroom together.

Laying my head back down on the pillows I yanked the covers over my head screaming into it until Cole made a comment. "Don't think I'm happy about this either."

"Oh sure. I'm sorry my illness prevented you from hooking up with Erin or Olivia or Paige!" I snapped at him.

His green eyes glared at me. "You don't have the right to judge my life."

"Neither do you about me then!" I growled turning my back towards him.

Cole watched me for a little while hearing me doze off for a few hours of sleep. He sure found you annoying at times but there was something about you that he liked. It was the fact that you fought with him over the most ridiculous stuff. Most girls just fell at his beck and call except you. He walked around the room noticing a notebook laying on the desk. "Y/n's diary...hmm. I can't deny that I may have feelings for Cole even though he drives me nuts." He debated reading it but when he flipped to one of the middle he heard you groan waking up.

"Cole, I'm gonna puke." I moaned, struggling to get out from under the blankets.

He dropped the book rushing over to me, he put one arm underneath my shoulder and the other under the back of my knees carrying me through the door and across to the bathroom on this floor. "I've got ya...I've got ya." He reassured me when I collapsed onto my knees puking in the toilet.

I felt one of his hands holding my hair back and the other was rubbing my back till I was finished. "Thanks Cole..."

"You're welcome. See I'm not a total asshole." He responded sitting across from me on the floor. His honey blonde hair was tossed and in his eyes like always.

Hugging my knees to my chest, my hair was a wreck and my nose was red. I looked like a complete mess and I didn't care for it one bit. His green eyes remained on me before I asked him not to handle the silence well. "If you wanna say something to me just go on and get it out, Walter."

"I read part of your diary after you fell asleep. I know how you feel about me and honestly I'm shocked given how I've treated you." He shrugged his shoulders like it was just a casual thing to say to someone.

I raised my voice in frustration grabbing a tissue when I had to sneeze two or three times. "You read my diary! Cole, you have no right to that. How much did you read - god I want to crawl in a hole now I'm so embarrassed." Covering my face that was red as a tomato avoiding his gaze.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I felt about it?" Cole questioned with a curious look on his face.

Knitting my brows at the former star football player. "You're telling me you have a crush on me. Yeah right. I'll believe it in another universe."

"Do you believe me when I do this?" He shifted onto his knees coming closer to me.

Lifting my head up he cut my question off. "What are you doing-" His lips landed right on mine. Cole scooted closer and placed his hands on either side of my face. I wanted to push him away because I was sick and two because he shouldn't even couldn't really be kissing me now.

Trailing my hands up his chest my arms wrapped around his neck and he moaned into the kiss after we had gotten closer. Cole tugged me up to sit down on his lap wrapping his arms around my waist holding me close to his chest as possible. "Cole, stop - Cole stop. We can't be doing this." Pushing my hands on his chest he drew back confused.

"Because you're sick. I don't care about that. I just needed you to know that I actually care about you, Y/n." He declared still cupping my face on his hands green eyes so focused on me.

Moving one hand through his honey hair, my other drops to his shoulder blade. "I can't believe it, Cole Walter has a crush on me. Here I was thinking you hated me." I chuckled with a half grin.

"Why did you think I only picked on you when you first got here. I figured you had a thing for bad guys in you somewhere. Just had to bring it out of ya, darling." Cole tucked hair behind my ear before he could hear a lot of footsteps heading up the wooden stairs outside the shut bathroom door.

"What do we - uh do!" I sneezed where Cole gave me a tissue and I wiped my nose watching him get to his feet.

He scooped me up bridal style once more where I wrapped my arms around his neck enjoying the feeling of being in his arms like this. "Don't worry, we'll go to my room. They all know better than to go in there...now where we're we?" He carried me quickly out and into his room, closing and locking the door.

"Cole, I'm nowhere near ready for that kind of thing. Sorry if that disappoints you." I apologize for crawling under the covers on his bed, blushing a deep shade of red.

He kicked off his shoes and got in beside me, gently pushing my head down in the crock of his neck so I would fall asleep. "I don't care about sleeping with you yet. I just wanted to see you blush."

"Cole!" I punched his chest hearing him laugh and it was music to me considering he rarely ever laughs.

He kissed the crown of my head and watched my eyes begin to close shut. "I'm just playing with ya, Y/n. Now get some rest." I closed my eyes and looped my hand with his freehand that wasn't playing with hair to make me dose off in his arms.
