Love At First Sight

Chapter 23

Demi's POV 

I couldn't stop coughing, I felt so exhausted. I'm just stuck in bed.  

"UGH I HATE BEING SICK!" I yelled, which only lead to me coughing more and having a burning sensation in my throat. My voice is all raspy and horrible.  

I heard a knock on the door. "Whoever it is, please go away..." I moaned, clutching my stomach in great pain.

"It's Justin." Justin said, walking in.

My eyes widened. "Justin get out of here, I'm not feeling well!" I said, putting the covers over my head.

"I don't care, it's one of my duties to take care of my girlfriend when she's not feeling okay." he said, making me smile slightly.

He pulled the covers off my head suddenly and I just wanted to hide my face.

"I look awful." I said, covering my face with my hands.

"You still look beautiful to me." Justin told me, making me blush.

"What if I get you sick? That won't be good, you won't be able to go anywhere and you'll just be stuck at home, doing nothing." I said to him in a worried tone.

"It's fine, beautiful. As long as I know my girlfriend is okay." He said giving me a gentle hug.

"You're too kind." I said, laughing at his never ending cheesiness.

"Only for you." he sang, laughing as I rolled my eyes.

Boys.

"Now, what do you need, beautiful?" He asked me, getting up.

I thought about it..."Chicken soup and tea?" I asked hopefully.

"You got it Dems." He said, shutting the door behind him and went downstairs to make it.

I sighed as I laid in bed. It's really weird how I didn't feel that sick when he's around me. His presence made me feel better.

Minutes later, I hear Justin come upstairs and open the door with a tray of soup and a cup of tea.

I looked up at him and smiled as he gently set it on my lap.

As I reached out for the spoon, Justin pulled it away, making a tisking sound.

"No no, beautiful, I'm gonna feed you myself." Justin said, making me laugh.

"Justin, I might be ill but my hands still work." I say laughing as he took a spoonful of the soup, blowing it to make sure it was warm.

"I don't care, now open." He said, giving me his gorgeous smile.

I rolled my eyes at him then opened my mout as he put the spoonful in. I'm not even joking, it was heaven in my mouth.

"That's so good, oh my gosh." I said, immediately sneezing after.

Justin gave me a tissue straight away and I smile at him slightly. He's so kind.  

I finished the food and set it beside me and I sat up a bit more.

"Thank you for the soup and tea, Justin." I spoke up.

"It was gre-" I stopped talking, covering my mouth and raced towards the bathroom. I put the toilet up, immediately spilling out all the soup I ate.

Justin pulled my hair up, rubbing my back as I started to dry heave, tears coming to my eyes.

I sat back, Justin flushing the toilet as I cried.

"It's okay, Dems." Justin said, helping me to stand up.

I nodded and went to the sink to brush my teeth. I rinsed my mouth out with mouthwash, wiped my face and drying it with a towel.

Justin helped me get in bed and he got into bed with me as I continued to cry.

"It hurts Justin, it really hurts." I whimpered, clutching onto Justin's shirt.

"Come on beautiful, let's go cuddle and take a nap okay?" Justin said, knowing it was one of my favourite things to do.

I nodded, wiping my tears away before turning around and cuddling into Justin's body.

I immediately felt better, my eyes getting drowsy as my boyfriend quietly sang to me in my ear and played with my hair

"If I could take away the pain, and put a smile on your face, baby I would, baby I would..." making me smile as my eyes got heavier and heavier.

Thank God for Justin Bieber.

Justin's POV  

It killed me seeing Demi in such pain and crying. I can't deal with it, I'm a softie I know. I just don't like seeing Demi feeling so down and out. She just looked so exhausted and I couldn't take it anymore. I thought sleep would be the best way to get her to be calm.

I stroked the ends of her hair every now and then. I looked down at her and could see sweat near her hairline and in the roots of her hair. I felt her forehead and it was burning up. It wasn't even hot in the room at all. Not a good sign. I'll get something to cool her down.

I carefully get up off the bed, trying not to disturb Demi. I went into the bathroom and found an unused washcloth on the rack. I turn the tap on the sink and let the water till it gets a bit cold. I squeeze the remaining water and take it back to Demi.

Once I reach Demi, she's turned around, with her back towards. I need to turn her a little bit. I hold onto her shoulders gently and turn her so she's lying flat on her back. She didn't even wake up or anything, thank the Lord. I place the cold damp cloth on her forehead and I saw her flinch slightly at the feel of it, but she eventually settles back down.

I pull the covers back to let her body heat escape better. I wipe away the sweat from her head, keeping a close eye on her.

I'm gonna stay with her until she wakes up. I'm not letting her leave my sight when she's this ill. My angel catches cold so easily, and then when she does catch cold, it's always really bad so I have to always look after her.

I fell asleep beside her, knowing she'd be alright.

About two hours later, I woke up and sat up in bed. I look down at Demi and see her start to wake up. Her natural colour in her face had returned, she's not as pale as she was before. She was slowly rubbing her eyes and stretching her body. She opened her eyes and turned to me, only giving me a weak smile. At least she's smiling at me now and not crying her eyes out.

"Dems, how are you feeling now?" I said to her quietly.

"A bit better, thank you for staying with me, handsome."

"Anytime, beautiful. I'll be right there when you're not feeling your best. I'm here to ensure you feel 100% better. I love you so much..." I say, hugging her tight. I felt her forehead again and it felt a lot cooler and she wasn't sweating anymore, so things are slowly improving.

"I love you too J." she said weakly.

For the majority of the day, Demi stayed in bed and I would occasionally get up and make her food and give her medicine.

Demi laid her head on my shoulder. I'm thinking...should I give Demi the engagement ring now? Yes, no? I don't know. I don't wanna scare her now, she might think we're rushing everything. I'm scaring myself just thinking about it. But I will propose soon, just not right now....

More than one comment would be much appreciated please :)
