This morning I woke feeling miserable, I had a terrible headache and could barely get out of bed. I decided too just get up anyways and take a shower, hoping that would make me feel better but I was wrong. I still felt terrible after my thirty minute shower so I took my temperature and of course, one hundred and two.

I quickly put on a pair of jeans and a sweater, grabbing a little bag and putting my toothbrush, hairbrush, and some clothes into it knowing I'll probably have too stay the night at the hospital.

Obviously driving too the hospital was the worse part since I could barely keep my eyes open, but once I finally got there and requested too get a room, since there was no doubt about it that I have the flu. A nurse begins too lead me into a room with bed and table with many little machines by it. My room also has a curtain hanging on one side of it too separate my bed from my roommates.

"I want another nurse." My roommate says, sounding very oddly familiar.

"Well, there are none, we're stretched pretty thin right now." I immediately notice that voice as Ann's.

"Then I want a janitor. They can do what you do right?" The voice says again.

"Yep, nurses and janitors are totally interchangeable."

"Except no one dresses like a janitor when they want too be slutty."

"I get the sense that maybe you're angry at me for kissing Andy."  At this point I know the other voice belongs too April, but I feel the need too stay out of their conversation.

"No, I'm not, what are you talking about, that's crazy."  Aprils rushed out, making it seem even more obvious that she is upset about April and Andy.

"And that you think it might be fun too take it out on me.  Please don't do that."

"Do?  I can't do anything in sick."  April says and Ann begins too walk out as April presses something causing an obnoxious buzzing sound too be released.

"My blankets are on the floor."  Ann pick up the blankets and quickly runs out.  I pull back the curtain and April glares until she notices that it's me.  She usually hates everyone she works with but we actually are friends, we bonded over our hatred of almost everyone at the office.

"Hello friend."  I say, she is about too respond when Ron Swanson walks in with two bags from the grocery store.

"Here."  Ron says and gives one bag too me and one too April.

"I didn't know what too bring you, so I just got some magazines and lipstick, women stuff."  He says and awkwardly looks at both of us and I smile up at him.

"Thanks."  We both say and start looking through our bags.

"All my parents got me was that."  April says and points too a couple of balloons and a teddy bear.

"Okay, well, I'm not very good at visiting people in hospitals, so I'm going too go."  Ron says and starts walking out.

"Hey, if you see Andy, will you not tell him I'm here?"  Aprils says and continues pulling things out of her bag.

"Okay."  Ron says, most likely hoping Aprils won't continue talking about Andy since it will put him in an even more awkward situation.

"Because of what happened I don't want him too think."  April starts but is cut off by Ron.

"Stop.  Don't wanna know."  Ron says and continues walking out of the room.

"Boys."  I say and lay back down onto my bed, my headache returning.

"Tell me about it, Andy confessed his feelings then told me that Ann kissed him ten minutes before.  What a slob."  She said and also laid down obviously annoyed with everything right now.

"At least now we have an excuse too stay away from them, and everyone in the office, today."  I say and begin too fall asleep, hoping no one else will interrupt my day too sleep.

"Davina.  Davina!  Wake up, we have a presentation too put on."  Leslie says and starts shaking me, attempting too wake me up.

"Leslie!  I'm sick I'm not going too that presentation!"  I say and roll over too were I'm no longer facing her.

"Come on Davina, sit up and drink this medicine, Ben and tom we're put in charge, when they found out I was sick, we have too stop them."  Leslie says, acting like its the biggest deal in the world.

"Oh my god fine, but in getting pair extra for this."  I say and then Leslie's phone starts too ring.

"It's Ben, okay be cool act like your not here, they think I'm still in bed."  She says and pick up her phone.

"Hey Ben, ready too talk about your opening remarks?  Do you want me too write you a rap?  I'll write you a rap.  No, you know what you're never gonna be able too pull it off you're too white, how about a show tune or something."  Leslie says, rushing everything out and probably not letting Ben speak at all.

"No, no blah blah blah okay, you need too go over every single detail with me."  She says and waits for him too respond again.

"I have some great news, I think me fever just broke."  She said then Ben hung up on her.

"Great, we have about two hours and Ben doesn't suspect a thing, let's go get some clothes for you and more medicine for me."  She says and then walks over too Aprils bedside table and drinks her flu medicine.

"Hey Davina just coming too check on, Leslie what are you doing?"  Ann says and rolls her eyes as Leslie runs back over too my bed.

"Hey, that flu medicine really helped.  I feel a thousand percent better, good as new, I just came here too check out Davina because she told me she feels better too."  Leslie says and then looks down at me signaling me too add on about how I feel better.

"Yeah Ann, in totally better, really ready for that presentation."  I say and Leslie grabs my bag and wrist, pulling me out of my bed and put into the hallway, running as fast as out sick bodies can run, hoping Ann will continue too check on April and forget about s running away.
