Good 'ol days...

chapter one

*"Higher daddy, higher!" I squeal in excitement as he pushes me on the swing. I'm so happy. Finally it's time to go home. I hitch a ride on mommy's back.*

The door closes and the memory ends.

I look to my left. Peacefully sleeping is my boyfriend. He's an angel, until you wake him. I slide out of bed and get ready for the day.

"You're leaving me?" He mutters.

"I gotta get ready to go babe. I'll be back by five." I say coming back in the room after I've taken a shower and gotten dressed. He's up and he looks like he's been vomiting all night. "Babe, are you sick?" I ask.

"Yeah. Because you have to leave me."

"Go back to bed. Now. I'll be back in half an hour." I say kissing him lightly. He doses off. I leave and get some medicine for him. I come back and lay down with him. After a while we both get up. He's still sick and I have to force medicine down his throat.

"Ahhh babe this is animal cruelty! It tastes horrible!" He pleads. I put a pill in his mouth and he gives up and drinks the water.

"See, it wasn't that bad."

"Imagine that." He says sarcastically.

"I can give you something worse." I shrug. He looks at me with a mixture of curiosity and terror. He looks as if he wants to ask what it will be, but he is afraid. "Go back to sleep." I say playing in his hair. 

"I don't wanna." He pouts. "I wanna stay up and watch TV with you." 

"Go to sleeeeep." I groan.
