I woke up the next morning feeling horrible. My head felt like it was going to explode, I was nauseas, I was freezing and I was sure as hell not going to school today.
In the kitchen my Mom left a note: Good morning Michelle! I'm sorry your father and I had to leave you alone for three days. I hope you understand. But please do your school work. Love you - Mom
I wrapped my quilt around me tighter and went into the living room to lay down on the couch. My body felt heavy and weak. Flipping through the tv channels felt like a lot of work.
I groaned in pain.
Next thing I knew I woke up to the sound of my doorbell ringing.
I got up dizzily and stumbled to the door trying to not trip over the quilt wrapped around me.
It's probably Natalie. I opened the door.
"Sean?" I sounded worse than I imagined. His name came out like a croak. The light shining around him practically blinded me. "What are you doing here?"
"Making sure you're okay. You weren't in school today. You look awful."
"Thanks." I narrowed my eyes. "Nice to see you too."
He came in without even asking. "I brought you your homework."
"Yeah cause that's what I want to do when I'm home sick." I groaned.
He laughed. "Just trying to help."
"You know you're probably going to get sick being around me."
"It would be an honor." He winked smiling.
I walked back to the couch and laid down. "Isn't your mom home?" He asked me standing in the kitchen looking around for her.
"No. Business trip."
"Dad?"
"Same."
"Oh. So you're home. Sick. All by yourself?"
"Yes. Thank you for reminding me." I snapped.
He walked over and sat next to me on the couch. ."Then I guess I have no choice but to take care of you." He smirked.
I rolled my eyes. "Great." I was bad at faking enthusiasm.
"What are you watching?" He asked.
"The Notebook." I replied.
"Ugh why?"
"Because it's a good movie." I replied getting annoyed again.
He just smiled without saying anything.
We shared my giant quilt and I started leaning on his shoulder. My head was throbbing still but it felt better being near him. I was do comfortable I was going to fall asleep again.
"Your hair smells good." He said interrupting my thought.
"Thanks. For smelling my hair." I giggled.
He grabbed my scraped hand and looked at it.
I just let him do it. His touch felt good. I was alone all day and being with someone was nice.
"Sean." I groaned. "My head hurts soooo bad."
His soft lips kissed my forehead gently.
I didn't want to think about it too much. I relaxed a little and rested my head completely on his shoulder.
"Comfortable." He laughed.
I sighed. "Very."
He put his hand on my forehead. "Wow you must be really feverish." He laughed even harder.
"Shut up." I mumbled.
"Oh, there she goes again." His voice trailed off in a whisper.
Goosebumps rose on my arms. He moved his hand up and down my arm closest to him. "You cold sweetheart?"
"A little." I admitted.
He pulled me closer to him so my head was laying on his chest. I could hear his heart beating steadily while mine was out of control. His chest moved up and down with each breath. I couldn't concentrate on the movie anymore. All I could think about was him being so close.
He played with my hair, moving it around. "You like my hair?" I hummed.
"Sorry is it bothering you?"
"No."
We sat and watched the rest of the movie in silence. Of course I cried at the end.
"Sweetheart, it's just a movie." He whispered in my year humorously.
"It's still sad." I croaked.
"Please don't cry I've seen too much of that."
"I can't help it!" I snapped.
"I'm just saying it hurts."
"Nice save." I crossed my arms.
"Michelle I'm being serious. It hurts me to see you upset." He look straight into my eyes.
"You-you make me upset all the time." I didn't know what I was saying. It just came out I me. Lies came out of me.
He looked hurt.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"
"No. It's fine." He interrupted me. He sounded cold.
"I'm so sorry." I touched his chest where my head was.
"Just lay down. You don't feel good." He spoke calmly like I was crazy.
"You don't make me upset." I had to say it. He had to know.
"I know." He started playing with my hair again. "I know exactly how I make you feel."
