She could barely keep her eyes open in the office. She very rarely got sick but when she did it was horrible and it completely knocked her out. She always had perfect attendance in school and even if she wasn't feeling the best her father would still make her go in, she continued this through life and apart from the few days she had food poisoning, Autumn had never missed a day of work.

She was feeling so tired and her head was beginning to hurt. "Autumn?" She looked up at Marjorie staring at her "you okay? You look slightly pale" she just nodded and continued with her work trying to ignore the throbbing in her head.

She continued on through her day feeling so sorry for herself. She was so tired and her whole body ached, her throat hurt and she had a headache. She needed to stay though, there was too much to do and she had a big meeting with the directors with Marjorie the next day that she couldn't miss.

"Autumn are you sure your feeling okay, you don't look good and you've been quiet why don't you eat something to see if it helps" she gagged at the idea of food but knew Marjorie was only trying to help her out.

"I'm fine Marjorie" she said through gritted teeth. The rest of the day dragged in and Autumn had never been more glad to see 5:30 in her life. Winter finished before her today but still sat in the car outside to wait for his girl.

He took one look at her and knew something was wrong. "Are you okay my sweet?" He asked once she had gotten in, she nodded letting her eyes close slightly but still trying not to fall asleep.

"I'm okay my love I just don't feel good but I'm sure I'm just tired, it's been a long day" he lent over and gave her a kiss on the side of the head and started driving home.

Autumn was basically asleep by the time they made it to the house. "Autumn, we're home" he whispered causing her to jump slightly. She yawned and rubbed her temples and then looked over to smile at him slightly.

He got out of the car and made his way to the passenger side to open the door for her, he reached his hand out for her to take and gave her a kiss as she stood up to him level, Winter loved being a gentleman, especially to Autumn.

She went to sit on their sofa and he went into the kitchen "Autumn what would you like for dinner?" There was no response from the living room, "Autumn?" He assumed she had maybe went upstairs and continued to raid the kitchen for something they could have.

He found a few options and went to let her know what they were, still thinking she was upstairs he went to call her however, when he walked to the living room there, he saw his girlfriend still in her work clothes, glasses still on fast asleep. She didn't look comfortable at all still half sitting up right with her head against the back of the sofa.

He went and sat next to her and rubbed her leg "Aut" he whispered "come on we'll get you to bed, you can stay home tomorrow I'll let Marjorie know" that seemed to wake her up "no i have to go to work tomorrow, I'm fine i promise"

She could tell he knew that she wasn't fine at all, and she wasn't. Her entire body was in pain and she felt like she would be sick at any given moment.

"You can afford to have a day off Autumn I don't want you going in if your sick"

"Marjorie and I have a meeting tomorrow, a directors meeting I need to be there."

He didn't reply but instead picked her up to carry her to bed, he knew it would lead to something bigger if he tried to argue back and she wasn't in the state to do that so he dropped it. She cuddled in close to his chest and was already sleeping by the time he reached the top of the stairs.
