Young Love

Chapter Thirteen

Julianna's POV:

I walked into his room, but I didn't see him. But I did see he finished cleaning his room, he must've finished while I was doing Olivia's hair.

"Jacob? Where are you", I yelled. I heard a few noises in the bathroom. I walked in & saw Jake sitting on the counter just staring at the wall. He was sweating & he looked as if he was about to pass out.

"Oh, my goodness. Baby are you alright? You don't look too good & you have a fever.", I said placing the back of my hand on his forehead.

He started to speak then he jumped off the counter & ran to the toilet & started throwing up. I went & rubbed his back to comfort him. While he was emptying his insides, I grabbed his toothbrush & put toothpaste on it for him. When he was done, he stood up & grabbed the toothbrush & started brushing his teeth.

"Baby go lay down when you're done, okay?", I told him while rubbing his back. He nodded & laid down. I wet a cold washcloth & went to wipe his face because he was still sweating & he had a fever.

"Thank you, babe. You should be getting home, we have school tomorrow.", he finally spoke. I knew he didn't feel good. I hate seeing my baby like this.

"No problem. & no, I'm staying here tonight. You need someone to take care of you. You have a fever, you're sweating, you're throwing up & you can barely stand up. I'm staying with you tomorrow."

"This is why I love you.", he said smiling weakly.

"I love you too. I'm going to run you a bubble bath. While your bathing I'm going downstairs to make you some soup, okay?", I said while rubbing his soft precious face.

"Can I have chicken noodle soup please?", he said pouting & poking his bottom lip out.

"Anything for my baby.", I kissed his forehead & began running him a bath because I knew he couldn't stand up in the shower for any more than 5 minutes. I picked out him an Under Armour shirt, a pair of his basketball shorts & a pair of boxers. Then I helped him get into the bathroom & I walked out so he could get undressed.

As he was relaxing, I made him some chicken noodle soup with crackers & a bottle of water & a small glass of orange juice. I cooked some pasta to eat & decided I'll just drink some water. I placed everything on a tray & walked upstairs. When I got into the room I saw him watching tv & cuddled up with one of my pillow pets I left over here. It was the cutest thing ever.

"Here ya' go. Eat all of it & drink your orange juice & drink a little bit of water. You're a little dehydrated, that's why you can barely stand up. Does your head hurt?"

"Thank you, baby. Yes, & I have a sore throat & stuffy nose."

"Awe. My poor baby.", I said while kissing his cheek. "Eat first then I'll give you some medicine.", I kissed his forehead & we ate & watched tv.

"Babe I'm finished.", he said like a 4-year-old who finished their food all by themselves.

"That's good baby."

"Do I get a kiss for finishing it?", he said with a smirk on his face.

"Of course.", I kissed his soft lips. We kissed for a minute or so but I pulled away, so I could give him his medicine. I walked into the bathroom & went into the medicine cabinet & grabbed a bottle of NyQuil. He hates this stuff. "Alright, babe. Open up.", I said while trying to hand him the small cup with medicine in it.

"Nope", he said while popping the 'p'.

"Come on Jacob"

"But baby it's gross. You know I hate that stuff!", he said whining like a child.

"Either you take it & feel better or don't take it, stay sick & don't get any kisses....EVER!",I said waiting for him to answer.

"Ugh fine. You win.", he grabbed the small cup & took it like it was a shot of alcohol. He facial expression was priceless. "Fuck! Damn that shit is horrible! You better be glad I love you & I want to feel better."

"I love you too Jacob.", I went to put the medicine back up & then I laid next to Jake. He was staring at me for a minute.

"Why are you staring at me like that?", I asked him, looking directly in his eyes.

"Because I love you. I love everything you do for me, big or small things, it doesn't matter, I really appreciate you. You're always there for me & always taking care of me. Thank you so much baby, I love you more than you'll ever know." When he said that my heart melted. I looked into his eyes & I knew he meant it. My mama told me when you know someone for so long, you can look in their eyes & determine if they mean what they say.

"I love you too. I'm always here for you & I will always have your back, no matter what. I'm your ride or die until the wheels fall off.", he leaned in & kissed me. I pulled away & we were staring into each other's eyes for a while. Then he laid next to me & laid his head on my chest, his arm wrapped around my waist while I was running my fingers through his hair. He laid there for a minute trying to go to sleep.

"Jacob, go to sleep."

"Can you sing to me?"

"Sure. What do you want me to sing?"

"They Don't Know About Us.", he replied.

When I finished I heard him snoring. I'm glad my singing can put my baby to sleep. I really hope he feels better. I hate seeing him like this. I laid there with him asleep in my arms while I ran my fingers through his curly hair. I don't know why but he loves when I play in his hair. I guess it helps him go to sleep faster. I kissed his forehead & a few seconds later I fell asleep.
