My Only hope

Chapter 10: Sick day

Melody's P.O.V

I wake up being held by Simon. I was really glad to see him and still am today. The only thing different is that I feel worse today. I am now down to two guys as my friends and Simon and the guys. I completely disowned Cassidy and I hope I never see her again. She is a two faced bitch that thinks about nothing but herself. I roll over to check the time and see it's eleven in the morning. I try to wiggle out of his grip, but he has too strong of a grip.

"If you want to get up, all you have to do is poke his arm a few times," a voice says from the door. I look to find Alex standing there with a smile on his face. "By the way, good morning sleeping beauty."

"Thanks Alex," I say. I poke him in the arm three times and to my amazement, it worked. "How did you know that would work?"

"Mom used to do that when she needed to get up in the morning. Anyway, how are you feeling today?"

"Even worse than yesterday," I reply. I get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom. I feel something coming up halfway there, so I sprint to the toilet.

"Melody, are you alright," he asks from behind me. He gets his answer when I begin to throw up. "Would you like me to get Kevin or do you want me to stay here with you?"

"Can you stay here with me. I don't want to sit here alone," I say quietly before throwing up again. Alex sits down on the floor next to me, pulls my hair back, and starts to rub my back. I'm kneeling on the bathroom floor for about an hour going back and forth between the toilet and the wall before I feel like I'm done. Alex never left my side, so I'm sitting on his lap." Don't you have to work today?"

"No, I'll called in when you blacked out half an hour ago. I didn't want you to be here alone," he says before kissing me on the cheek.

"Thanks Alex, but aren't the other guys home?"

"No, they all got jobs and had to work today and dad won't wake up anytime soon. That's why I wanted to stay home today."

"Alright, can we get out of here, I feel a little better now."

"Yeah, where do you want to go? My room, Kevin's room, or the living room?"

"The living room."

Alex carries me downstairs and lays me down on the softest couch in the house. Since the couch isn't facing the television, so he drags the tv over to me so that I can watch. After he does that, he covers me up with my favorite blanket for when I'm sick and hand me the remote.

"Is there anything you want or need right now," he asks bending down to my eye level.

"Can you make some soup and get me some water please?"

"Of course, while I'm at it I'll get you a pillow too."

After about three hours, Simon finally comes down stairs and is surprised to see my sick day set up. He walks over to me and crouches down to my eye level, then kisses my forehead.

"I see you're still sick, but you better not have set this all up by your lonesome," he says with a smile.

"No, Alex took the day off and has been taking care of me all day."

"Where is alex at now and where are the others. That includes Tom as well."

"Alex went to the store to get soup ingredients about thirty minutes ago. Everyone else got a job and are working. Tom is visiting his dad," I say with exhaustion evident in my voice.

"Why are you so tired. Haven't you gotten any sleep today?"

"Yes, I took two ten minute naps. I couldn't sleep for any longer for some reason."

"How about you take some nyquil and sleep for longer than ten minutes."

I take the medicine and fall asleep within half an hour.

Kevin's P.O.V

I just got out of work and decide to check my phone. I see a message from Dad and Alex. They both tell me Melody is still sick and dad says that he just had her take nyquil so she can sleep longer than ten minutes. I get into the truck, but before I leaving the parking lot I decide to call Dad.

"Hey dad, how's Melody doing," I question.

"She's asleep and alex told me that she threw up for about an hour when she woke up this morning," he states. It breaks my heart knowing that my girlfriend is at home sick while I'm perfectly healthy and out of the house. After hanging up, I head home.

Once home race into the house and straight to the living room to find Melody sound asleep on the couch, covered up by her favorite blanket. I quietly go over to her and kiss her on the cheek.

"Don't wake her up. Dad just got her to fall asleep about half an hour ago," Alex says from the doorway.

"I won't wake her up. By the way, thanks for taking care of Melody all day Alex. I really appreciate it."

"No problem, it's really easy to take care of her. Just set her up with soup, water, a blanket, a pillow and the television on the couch and she is set for the rest of the day."

"yeah, she is pretty simple," I say with a chuckle. "Am I allowed to bring her upstairs?"

"Yeah, go ahead. She won't wake up. Remember, dad gave her nyquil, plus this is Melody we are talking about here," he says before putting the tv back and picking up Mel's sick day mess. I pick her up bridal style and carry her to her bedroom. Once we were in her room, I lay her down in bed and cover her up. I walk to my room, grab a pillow, go back into melody's room, and put it under her head.

"She likes the smell of you that much huh," Dad says from the doorway.

"Ya, plus she likes using my pillows for some odd reason. She always has."

"Just don't wake her up or there will be hell to pay."

"I know, I've met her a few times dad. She won't wake up anyway, knowing that she took an eight hour sleeping medication. That's added onto the fact that she only got a total of twenty minutes of sleep today."

"Yeah, you're right. If there was an award for longest slumber, Melody would get first prize with no contest," he says with a laugh. "Come on, we got some catching up to do from when I was gone."

We leave Mel to sleep in peace and sit down with Alex in the living room. After we sit down, dad turns to Alexa and I.

"So, when did you start to date Melody kev and when did you get a girlfriend Alex," was the first question out of his mouth.

"I started Mel about two months ago and that's when Alex got his girlfriend too," I say for the both of us.

We answer about twenty questions before the rest of the guys get home. Dad asks more questions and we are all exhausted by ten o'clock. We all retire to our rooms, but I retire to Melody's. Before falling asleep, I pull melody to me and kiss her on the top of her head. After securing her in my arms, I fall into a deep sleep full of dreams about what my future holds.
