Chapter 5: Never loved

          I woke up feeling sick, I was pale, and I couldn’t stand up without feeling as if I was about to vomit. I had to sleep to get better, but I wasn’t tired.

          It was around ten o’clockwhen Adrene had fallen asleep. The door bell rang and Lisa answered it, and who else would be at the door but Lucas.

          “Sorry Lucas but Adrene is sick and has been in her room all day.”

          “I see, well would I be able to go see her?”

          Lisa stood there for a minute thinking it over she finally smiled and said. “Sure you seem to make her feel better.”

          Lucas went upstairs to Adrene’s room. It was brown with ethnic designs, all the armoury was dark maple wood, and there on the bed hidden by thousands of blankets was his sick Adrene. Lucas didn’t want to wake her so he simply kissed her forehead and sat down on the window seat. Shortly after Adrene woke up. “Huh, Lucas is that you?”

        Lucas came off the window seat and sat down beside her. He moved her hair from her face and replied, “Yes it’s me.” Adrene leaned in closer to him, “Yo got me sick you know.” And Lucas just smiled. Adrene fell back asleep, she needed her rest.

          Lucas was sitting right next to Adrene, she lay sleeping while he just watched her. Adrene still asleep could feel him smoothing her hair, and kissing her forehead. She woke up a couple times to see him sitting on the window seat but then he would come back saying “I’m still here.” Then she would curl back up into a ball and fall asleep. A few times Lucas would have to help her to the bathroom where she would vomit. “Lucas just go back and sit down.” But he didn’t leave.

          Adrene woke up at seven o’clock, and thought how real her dream was she looked around to see if it was real, if Lucas was there. But there was no Lucas so Adrene put her head back down onto her pillow and saw a piece of paper beside her.

          Adrene,

I hope you get well soon. I just left so you could get your rest, I’ll see you tomorrow.

                   Love, Lucas <3

          Adrene then realized it wasn’t a dream it did happen, and Adrene understood why he had left. Sitting around with someone that is sick isn’t exactly fun.

          This was eating away at Lucas, how was he going to tell her? Exactly what was he going to say? He new he had to tell her, but the words wouldn’t string together in his mind. And when would he have to leave again?

          Monday morning Adrene felt more lively, she still had a headache but she would manage.

          “Hey!” Adrene turned around to see Lucas coming around the corner.

          “Hey,” Adrene said.

          “I see you’re feeling better today.” He grabbed her hand and walked alongside her.

          “Yes nuch, and you didn’t have to come over yesterday.”

          “That’s alright, I wanted to and I had a good time.”

          I laughed slightly, “Watching me sleep, and watching me vomit?”
