So this is set a week after the last chapter. It's kinda just a filler chapter. The clothes above are Amanda's pjs.
Amanda's POV
I was laying in bed with a bottle of pepto Bismo and a bottle of Gatorade. I had the stomach flu the dreaded kill me now stomach flu. My throat was on fire because of the nonstop puking for the last 6 hours. There was tissues every where and those pink bottles were scattered everywhere. My door wide open. It was an obstacle that got in the way when I was going to you know. My mom constantly running in to take my temp. It was always over 99.9 and didn't seem to go down. Every muscle and bone in my body hurt. My stomach growled but I just ate a cracker and couldn't keep it in for five mins. I flip over on my stomach and take my ponytail down. I pull the blankets to me ears and I hear the door open. I yell "GET OUT BRANDON!" I hear a laugh. Someone closes my door. I am too sickly to even look who it is. I feel a hand on my back. I am flipped over to face Jack. I say "I have the flu you better leave." He says "Just got my shot last week." I smile and say "You might wanna leave I can't hold anything down so I haven't stopped hurling in like 6 hours. I sit up and take a swig of the pink disgusting stuff. I feel a strong hand. run up and down my back. I move over leaving jacks hand to fall to my bed. I lay back down and as if on impulse Jack tucks my blankets under my feet. I always did that. I smile and my mom comes barging in with a bowl of something and four thermometers. I groan and say "Get that ugly food away." She puts it on my night Stand and says to Jack "I have to run to the store please keep an eye on her and take her temp the right the numbers on the chart on her door. Brandon just left to hang out with Lori so please just watch her. I will be back as soon as possible." Jack says "Okay." My mom walks out the door. I sit up and say "please don't make me take my temp and eat soup." I put my bottom lip out and he says "Sorry honey." I look away and blush. He says "Sorry." He hand me the thermometer that says 1. He puts his finger on my chin and says "Open" I whine and grab the thermometer. I put it under my tongue and put my head on his shoulder. He laughs quietly. The thermometer beeps and I take it out. Jack says "102.4!!!" I laugh and say "i have a fever." He writes it down and says "only one more left." I grab it and say mocking him "only one more.." I put it in my mouth and throw my legs on his lap. It beeps and I pull it out. It said the same thing. Jack says after writing it down "Time for food!" I groan and slide down into the blankets. I feel hands slip onto my hips sliding me up. I trying turning away but Jack says "Five bites and I will leave you alone. " I say "well I am just going to put my hair up because I am going to barf it right back up." He said "okay." I said while digging threw my blankets "if I can find a frickin hair tie." Jack said "Here turn around." I looked and he had my extra big lime green hair tie in his hands. I turn and he puts my hair in a messy bun. I say "Wow your better at putting hair up that me." He laughs and says "Five bites now." I groan and take one big bite and swallow it down. I put the soup down and get up. I run into the bathroom not bothering to shut the door. I kneel in front of the toilet and literally get rid of anything that it is in my stomach. I flush the toilet as a I feel a hand go on my back rubbing circles. I finish what I was Doing and wipe my face with a towel and throw it In the bathtub. I stand up and wash my hands and face for awhile. I walk to my room and lay down. I feel Jack tuck me in and fix my pillows. I say "You just saw me puke." He says "It most likely won't be the last time." I blush and say "Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be with Carol or some other girl." He laughs and pushed me over so he can lay down. He says "I was stupid to break up with you." I said "Yeah.." He laughed and said "I don't know what I was thinking dating Carol." I said "I thought you would have learned your lesson six years ago." He said "I should have." I said as a hot tear ran down my cheek "Your the one who made me change my clothes and lifestyle and the one that made me into this Amanda." He said "I am sorry and I think This Amanda is so freaking beautiful. But any version of MY Amanda is pretty." I smiled at him and said "You big softy:" he smirked and said "Yeah I am like a six foot tall teddy bear." I laugh and snuggle into the crook of his neck. He wraps his hands around me and says "Your so freakin short." I say into his chest "blame the coffee maker and the coffee grounds." He smiled and brought his hand up to my hair. He slowly pulled my ponytail out and tangled his hand in my messy curly hair. I whispered in his ear "You still like my bright hair right." He said "Yeah always." I smiled and I heard the front door open. Jack jumped on impulse and looked out my window. I said "It's my mom dumby." He said "I know I was just checking." I mumble "yeah right." He says "Ok I just wanted to make sure." I laughed and my mom came in. She said "hey honey how you feeling?" I groaned and said "I barfed and I still have a fever." She said " if you don't get better I am taking you to the doctor in town." I groan and try and flip onto my stomach but I end up flipping not right of the bed. My mom walks out mumbling "one normal kid lord that's all I asked for." The door shut and I was lifted off and the ground and spun around my Jack. I said "Boy put me down before I barf on you." He put my down. I laid on my stomach stretching my arms up. My shirt sliding up. I saw jacks eyes dart at me and then dart away. I laughed and blushed and said "sorry." He said "it's fine it's just kinda hot that you have a six pack." I stood up and sat on my little bay window seat an said "Oh your just jealous!" He said "Trust me I am not." I laugh as I move my feet so he can sit but I put them back on his feet. He rolls my pants up and puts his hands on my legs. I smack his hand and say "I haven't shaved my legs in two days don't touch me." He pulls my pants back down and says "You think I really care?" I laugh and said "no but you could rub my legs over my pants they hurt from my fever." He smiled and started rubbing my legs. I titled my head back and closed my eyes. He says "Your tense." I giggled and said "Jack I was born tense." He laughed and I felt his fingers run across my knee and I smiled. He knew not to touch under my knee or behind my leg. I whispered "You remember?" He said "Always." Remember when I tore my ACL three years ago. Behind my knee and the back of my leg is super sensitive so it hurts if pressure is put on it. I feel my eyes drooping and I feel Jack scoop me up. I say "I am tired." He says "I know Hun." I put my head on his shoulder and he slowly lays me down. He covers me up and says "Take it easy pumpkin." I smile and slowly fall asleep. I feel warm lips press my forehead then cheek. I close my eyes letting the darkness take over.
Jacks POV
I kiss her forehead then cheek and she falls asleep. I slip my shoes back on and shove my phone in my pocket. As I start to walk to the door but look at Amanda as she sleepily turns to face me. She's still asleep but I hear her whisper "Love you too Jack." I walk out and say to myself "She was asleep and just probably didn't mean it." I tug my hair and walk downstairs. I stop in the living room and say to Amanda's mom "She is asleep." She hugs me and I walk outside. I get in the car and sat down.
I put my head on my steering wheel an hit it like seven times. I say " God dammit!!!!" I take a breather then start to drive away.
I get home and run right up to my room. I lock the door and flop onto my bed and scream profanities into my pillow. Good thing my parents and sister are in Albany for the next three days.
