Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 35

Bree's p.o.v.

It was early Friday morning and I knew Jack wasn't feeling well so I went to his house. I knocked on the front door and his mom answered it.

"Oh hi Breeanna. We were just leaving for work. Jack is upstairs but I'm not sure if he's awake or not. You can go up there and check." Jack's mom said.

"Okay thank you. Bye." I say as I walk inside and they walk outside, closing the door behind them.

I walk up the stairs and towards Jack's room when I heard him snoring and started laughing.

"Knock knock." I whisper a little and open his bedroom door.

He slowly starts waking up. "Mommy?"

I close his door and walk towards his bed, "no. Your favorite after her."

"M-my baby girl?" He was still half asleep.

I kiss his cheek. "Yes."

"W-why are you here? This early in the morning?"

"Because my prince is sick and his princess needs to take care of him." I smile.

He sits up in his bed. "You came over here this early in the morning just to take care of me?"

I sit on the edge of the bed, "yes. Because I love you. And I'll do anything for you."

"Come sit up here, by me." He scoots over so I was able to sit by him. "I'm still really tired so can you just sleep here, next to me."

We both lay down so that our heads are on the pillow and we are facing each other. I grab a hold of his hand and whisper, "anything for you."

"Aren't you worried about getting sick?"

"If you get me sick then I guess we will just be a couple of sick people." I laugh, "and if you get better before me then I guess you could take care of me."

He kisses my forehead, "I love you."

"I love you too." I smile and we look into each other's eyes as we fall back asleep.

A couple hours later

"Bree. Bree." I heard quiet sleepy moans.

"W-what?" I whisper.

"I think my fever is going up." Jack says.

"Um hold on." I got up to get a thermometer from their bathroom. "Here let me take you temperature."

He opens his mouth and let's the thermometer sit in his mouth for a couple of seconds.

"Okay um 105." I whisper. "What part of your body feels the worst?"

"My stomach hurts a lot."

"I'll be right back, stay here"

I go to the kitchen and look for medicine and grab the alka-seltzer.

I let it dissolved in a cup of water then take it upstairs to Jack. "Here drink this, it should help a lot."

He takes the cup and says, "you sure?how do you know?"

"My um. My parents would give me this before they died."

"Your parents aren't-" Jack started and I looked down. "Oh. Your kidnappers."

"Yeah." I mouth then sit next to him.

"So what's the real reason you came here today? You don't give a crap if I'm sick."

I laugh a little. "I came here for you. I want you healthy."

"I would defiantly kiss you if I wasn't sick."

"Yeah it's been a couple days since we kissed. You need to get better soon." I say a little flirty.

"Well if this really helps hopefully I'll be better later today."

"I hope so. School starts Monday and I want to do something before we go back." I say.

"I wish we were in the same grade. Something's just won't be the same if it's just senior activities." He said.

"AYE GILINSKY?! YOU STILL HELPLESS AND SICK?" We heard yelling from downstairs.

I chuckle a little, "is that how Johnson has been walking into your house everyday? Just yelling at you?"

"Yeah pretty much" he says as Johnson walked in.

"Oh hey Bree, I thought I saw your car." Johnson said. "He doing any better?"

"I haven't checked his temperature for about an hour so I don't know." I say. "Baby do you feel any better?"

"Yeah, a little."

"Here, open." I say and put the thermometer in his mouth.

"93.5. Well your fever is gone." I say. "You should be okay but you should stay inside for the rest of the day."

"So I'm guessing still no kiss." He joked.

I kissed his cheek. "That's the only kiss you get right now."

"Get a room." Johnson says.

"Well you see, we are in room. Your just kinda in the room with us for some reason." I say joking around.

"Oh shut up." He says.

"So how's Maya? I haven't hung out with them lately since he's sick and needs me soooo much."

"You just have all the jokes today don't you?" Gilinsky says.

We all laugh and Johnson says, "Uh I was at her house earlier, I think she was on her way to Taylor's house."

"Oh. Is-" I get a call from Taylor.

"Hello?" .. "Emergency meeting? For what?" .. "I can't come, Jack isn't feeling well and I need to take care of him." .. "That's not true" .. "No it's not. I just can't leave him here." .. "Well yeah Johnson is here but-" .. "Whatever." .. "Bye."

I hang up the phone, "what was that about?" Gilinsky asked.

"Um Taylor is calling an emergency meeting. I'm not going though."

"Go. I'll be fine. You even said it yourself. And if you don't go who knows what they'll do to you for betraying them. Please go, it could be important." Gilinsky said.

"I'll be back later, I promise." I kissed his cheek and walked out his room.
