I wake up to a pounding headache. I check the time and it's 4 am. I feel the feeling again. I get up and run to the bathroom. I throw up again.

"Fuck." I say.

I walk to my mums room and walk in. My dads already gone to work.

"Mum." I say tapping here.

 She sits up and opens her eyes with a worried look on her face.

"I feel worse then yesterday. Can I stay home?" I ask her.

"Yes of course. Go take a hot shower and get changed up and then get back in bed." She says.

She puts her hand on my forehead.

"God Charlotte you're burning up." She says.

I groan and walk out. I walk down to the bathroom and go in shutting the door. I stumble through the medicine cabinet and grab the ibuprofen. I check the side and it says to take three. I fill a small glass up with water and take three of the pills. I turn on the hot water and get in. I sit there for a few minutes just letting It hit me and then I wash my hair and body and get out. I put on my light black, gray, and white patterned leggings, a light blue sweatshirt crop top, and blue ankle socks. I put on some white fuzzy boots slipper boots as well. I put in a pair of owl earrings an blow dry my hair. I throw it in a messy bun and walk out. I check the time on my phone and it's nearly six o'clock. I dial Luke's number and cross my fingers that he will answer.

Luke- Hello?

I can tell I woke him up because he answered in his sexy morning voice.

Me- Hi did I wake you?

Luke- Yeah but the alarm would have woken me up in two minutes anyway. I'd rather hear your voice the minute I open my eyes then some annoying beeping nose.

I smile at this and walk down Into the kitchen.

Me- Well, I'm glad I'm better than your alarm clock.

He laughs, I open the fridge and grab the ginger ale.

Luke- What are you doing up at this time. Oh my god Char are you in the kitchen?

He starts laughing.

Me- Yes I am you loser. I have been up since five thirty. I'm sick and not coming to school today.

Luke- Loser? I am quite hurt! And your sick baby? Should I skip and come take care of you? If you're pregnant then this baby is my responsibility as well and plus I want to take care of my girlfriend.

Me- Oh you are not hurt dork, and no don't skip school. I'll be fine. At least one of us needs an education.

Luke- You and I are both dropping out at the end of the year so it really doesn't matter.

Me- Lukey I'm fine really babe. Go to school and I will call you if I need you.

Luke- I will have my phone on at all times. I don't care if I'm in the middle of class. You call and I'll answer.

Me- Okay Lucas.

Luke- Okay Charlotte.

Me- We did not just do the fault in our stars thing.

Luke- Oh but we did Ms. Payne.

Me- Shut up!

I say laughing.

Luke- Make me.

Me- If you were here I would.

Luke- How would you do that?
