In Sickness

Chapter 17

I woke up to someone shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to see Sean shaking me. I rubbed my eyes.

"What time is it?"

"It's 5:15"

"In the morning?"

He nodded.

"I'm headed to the air port. My flight leaves in 15 minutes"

"Ok. Do you want me to drive you?"

"You don't have to"

I got up and got dressed. I grabbed my keys and my phone then went with Sean to my car. We sat in silence as I drove the five minutes to the air port. Once we got there, I parked the car then grabbed Sean's hand , holding it as we walked into the air port. We walked in the doors and found two seats and sat down. Sean looked at his phone.

"It's 5:25. I have five minutes"

We sat there holding each other's hands. After a few minutes they called his flight then he stood up and grabbed his stuff. I stood up then he gave me a quick kiss before heading to the gate.

I watched as he boarded the plane. After he go on I went to my car then drove home. When I walked in the door I was greeted with the smell of pancakes. I walked into the kitchen to see my mom making pancakes. I looked at my phone to see that it was 5:36 am.

"Mom, why are you making pancakes at 5:30 in the morning?"

"Breakfast. Really early breakfast"

I chuckled. I sat at the table and watched as she finished cooking. After she finished cooking, she grabbed plates then put the pancakes on two plates. She handed me a plate and a fork, then sat across from me with her own plate. We ate in silence then put the dishes in the sink. She went to the living room then sat on the couch.

"I'm gonna go record some videos"

"Don't overdo it. You actually need to be resting you did just get out of the hospital"

"I know, but the viewers are waiting"

"And they will continue to wait. They want you better. Just like I do"

I sighed. I knew she wanted me to get better, but I needed to do something to distract myself. If I didn't distract myself I would just spend my time worrying about Jack until I got a message from him, which wouldn't be for a few hours. I went and sat by my mom.

"You worrying about him? Is that why you're wanting to go record so bad?"

I nodded as I sighed.

"He's fine. He's on a plane on his way back home. He'll text you or call you when he gets there"

I nodded. I knew all this but it didn't ease the worry at all.

"He's terrified of heights though"

She smiled.

"He's terrified of heights? How many times has he been on a plane?"

"More times than I can count but he's never gotten over that fear"

She shook her head at me.

"He's fine"

I sighed. I knew she was right but I still worried about him. I looked at my phone. 6:04am. I yawned.

"Go to sleep. Get some rest. They will understand if there's no videos or if they're late."

I nodded as my eyes closed. Before I knew it I was asleep.
