Cheryl and Tre: Goodbye Means Hello

Part 28

Later in the day, Cheryl still wasn't feeling much better. In fact, she had started feeling much worse than she had done when she'd woken up that morning. Apart from a headache and of course feeling incredibly achy, she was starting to feel a bit dizzy and could hardly keep her eyes open and was pretty much sleeping a lot as even the light was bothering her. She'd also been coughing and sneezing quite a bit as the morning went on. Tre's concern over her had grown quite a bit during the morning, especially since Cheryl's appetite had dropped completely - totally unlike her as she was always eating something. Tre had eventually had enough of her looking so miserable and tired and ill, and had booked her in to see a doctor that afternoon.

"Tre this is a bit ridiculous now; I'm fine." Cheryl protested as they sat in the waiting room at a doctor's office that wasn't far from Tre's apartment building; a nice place that was open seven days a week. Cheryl for one was not the biggest fan of doctors offices, meaning that the whole walk there, she had basically been protesting the whole thing and suggesting that they turn around. However, Tre was not taking no for an answer and had just dragged her along.

"Cheryl, it's better to be safe than sorry." Tre told her with a raised eyebrow. Cheryl rolled her eyes, breathing out as she leaned her head against his arm. She couldn't deny that she was feeling incredibly ill, and she knew that she should really be getting checked out due to her track record of illnesses - the malaria ordeal - but she just hated doctors' offices with a passion. She hated the smell, the look, the sounds - everything.

"Miss Cheryl Cole!" a nurse called. Cheryl stood up, Tre following her as they made their way into the back. They gave the nurse a friendly smile, leading her to smile back as she led them through to the area to get her height, weight, temperature, and blood pressure. 

"Alright Cheryl, if you could just step onto the scales for me so we can get your weight and height." the nurse instructed. Cheryl nodded, handing Tre her hoodie before stepping up onto the contraption. The nurse recorded the information and quickly took Cheryl's height; Tre chuckling softly to himself when he saw that Cheryl stood at 5'3 still obviously, forever amused at her small frame that was a far cry from his 6'3 frame.

"Alright, and open your mouth so we can get your temperature." the nurse spoke up. Cheryl nodded, quickly slipping her shoes back on before doing as she was told. The nurse stuck the thermometer in her mouth and waited a few seconds, before the device beeped again.

"Uh oh; Miss Cole you've got a fever - you're at one hundred and two degrees right now." she frowned, recording the information. She could see Cheryl shivering slightly even though it was warm, so she figured she best hurry up.

"Let's quickly get your blood pressure so you can get your hoodie back on, I apologize." she said. Cheryl nodded, before holding her arm out so the nurse could check her blood pressure. Once that was finished, the nurse recorded the information before taking the blood pressure cuff off of her arm.

"Okay, follow me, please." she replied, leading them down the hall. Tre helped Cheryl back into her hoodie quickly, before holding his arm around her waist as they made their way down the hall. The nurse stepped aside, letting them go ahead into an examination room. Tre helped Cheryl up onto the exam table before sitting on the chair to the side.

"Alright guys, the doctor will be in shortly." the nurse replied in a friendly manner. Cheryl and Tre thanked her before she then closed the door and wandered off. Tre then turned back to his girlfriend, taking her hand  as she rest her other elbow on her leg, her chin resting on her palm.

"You okay?" he asked. She shook her head, yawning.

"I feel freezing even though I'm well aware that it's hot out, my head hurts, my eyes feel heavy, I'm achy, and I feel sick - I'm basically falling apart." she whined, pouting adorably, Tre stood up enough to sweetly kiss her cheek before he then sat back down.
