Our perfect rainstorms

The 8th of February, 2016

So, for the past three days I had been taking cough medicine and aspirin like crazy. I woke up with my muscles aching all over. I finally decided to tell my mum, and apparently I had a fever, but my mum was worried and decided to take me to the doctors. Apparently, I had the flu. Crap.

Well, at least I could stay home from school for as long as I had the flu. However long that may be.

My mum was making a huge fuss about the flu.

"Do you need anything?" She asked.

"Mum, I'm fine", I replied. "I'll just stay inside and play games and wait it out".

"I'll make you chicken soup and get you some medicine from the pharmacy when we get home", mum said, driving a tad too fast.

"Thanks mum", I said and smiled. "You're driving over the speed limit", I then noted.

"Oh, shit, sorry", mum said and slowed down.

We got back home, and mum went straight to the pharmacy. I turned on my laptop and started playing some games I had on it, but I lost my concentration all the time. Shit. My brain couldn't concentrate on the game because I had the flu, and my vision went blurry a few times. I decided to watch some videos on YouTube. I still couldn't concentrate. I slumped onto my bed and shut my eyes.

"This is fucking bullshit", I thought to myself.

Eventually, my mum came back home.

"Ok, I got you some ibuprofen and acetaminophen, some dextromethorphan, and some chlorpheniramine", she shouted from the hall. "I'll make you some chicken soup. Can you come here to take the medicine?"

I got up and zombie-walked to the kitchen to take my meds with some water. "Thanks, mum", I said groggily and walked back into my room and slumped onto my bed again.

Emilia texted me.

Emilia: Why weren't you at school today? :/

Me: I have the flu :(

Emilia: Oh no! D:
Emilia: Are you ok?

Me: I'm fine, I just have a headache, runny nose and a cough
Me: And my muscles ache

Emilia: Aw, that sucks :(

Me: I'm ok though

Emilia: I hope you get better soon! :3

Me: Thanks :)
Me: Me too
Me: I can't really text, it's hard to concentrate
Me: Sorry

Emilia: Oh, that's ok
Emilia: I'll talk to you later ^-^

Me: Yeah
Me: Thanks

Mum came into my room and put the chicken soup on my desk. I went to eat it, and decided to try watching YouTube again. I still couldn't concentrate, so I decided to take a nap after I had eaten my soup.

I woke up at 11PM. I felt a lot better, so I gave watching YouTube a third try. This time, I was much more focused, and could concentrate on the videos much better. I noticed Charlie had texted me.

Charlie: hey
Charlie: you there?
Charlie: you ok?
Charlie: im feeling a bit lonely
Charlie: do you have a date for valentines day?
Charlie: i dont

I decided to text back.

Me: Hey
Me: Yeah, I'm ok :)
Me: I have the flu
Me: And no, I don't have a date for valentines day
Me: it's a bit early to worry about that, though
Me: Valentines day is still 6 days away
Me: I'll probably alone because of my flu tho

It took a while for Charlie to text back again.

Charlie: oh
Charlie: so well both be loners on valentines day

Me: Yeah

Charlie: lets be alone together

Me: Ayyyyy, FOB reference :D

Charlie: yeah
Charlie: im really happy you got that reference
