Michael woke me up when my bedding was done being washed.

"Have you been here the whole time, waiting?" I asked. My voice sounded even worse than before.

"No," he replied. "I waited until the washer was done, put it in the dryer, then left. I went to the office, did some stuff, then came back about ten minutes ago."

"Oh." I said.

I looked down and saw I was wearing a different shirt.

"Why am I wearing a different shirt?" I asked.

"You threw up again and I had to change your shirt." he said.

"Oh." I said, again.

'How did I not wake up?'

I got up, very slowly, and walked over to the couch.

Michael made my bed and I laid back down.

"I'm gonna go know, k? Will you be alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I should be fine."

And he left.

And I was alone.

And I was thirsty.

I made my best attempt to get up, and I made it without vomiting. I grabbed my cup and made my way to the kitchen.

I filled it with water and walked back to my room.

As I was walking, Griffon came home with Millie.

"Hi, Millie." I said. I still sounded absolutely awful.

"Hi, Gav. How ya doin'?" Griffon asked.

"Hi, Gavin. Mommy told me you aren't feeling good." Millie said. She is so sweet and cute.

"Yeah." I said.

"I'm sorry" she said.

I smiled, and walked the rest of the way to my room.

I climbed into bed and fell asleep again.

I woke the next day. I felt better, but not good enough to go to work.

Geoff, dressed and ready, brought me breakfast and asked if I was going to work.

"No." I said.

"Okay, buddy. Well, call if you need anything, okay?" he replied.

"Yup."

I ate breakfast and turned on my Xbox.

I began coughing again.

'Great.'
