The British Exchange Student

Chapter 6

Perrie's POV:

By the time lunch rolled around, I was ready to go home and drop on my bed and sleep for God knows how long.

I really did feel like death by this time and I could also tell that my body was about to collapse. This isn't normal for someone to feel even when they got only two hours of sleep, right?

While Leigh Anne, Jesy, and I were waiting for Jade and her friends, I put my head on my arms and closed my eyes. My head was pounding hard and I cursed under my breath.

"Hey guys," someone greeted, but I didn't look up.

"What's wrong with her?" a voice I was very familiar with asked.

Jade.

"I'm not sure. From what Leigh Anne told me, Perrie slept for only two hours and now she's tired as heck," Jesy explained.

Someone sat next to me but I didn't look up, because I already know who it was.

I could smell her citrusy scent and I felt her hand brush against the small hairs on my neck.

"She's hot," I could almost feel her frown.

"I know that. You didn't need to remind me," I smirked, and she jumped. She must be surprised that I was awake this whole time.

"What the heck are you doing pretending to sleep though?" she asked.

"I feel dizzy,"

"I think you're sick," Jade told me while putting a hand on my neck and checking my temperature.

I shook my head and the next thing I know, I was being carried away from our table.

"Jade, what the heck are you doing?" I growled.

"I'm eating a sandwich, Pez. What do you think?" she sarcastically answered with a smug grin on her face.

I hit her arm and I noticed her wince in pain. I narrowed my eyes at her and asked to be put down.

"No can do, princess. You're sick and stubborn, you need to go to the clinic and get your temperature checked out," she tightened her hold on me.

I groaned and put a hand on my forehead, now reminding me that it was still throbbing very hard.

I felt my vision blur and the last thing I noticed before I blacked out was that I fell out of Jade's arm and I toppled to the ground.

"Will she be okay?" someone asked.

"I think she will be. She just has fever and is coming down with a slight cold, and the reason for her fainting was because of dehydration," the doctor, I think, explained.

"So she'll be okay, right?"

"Yes. Just make sure she rests and drinks a lot of water and she will be fine," the doctor said as they left.

I opened my eyes, only to be met by a very bright light that forced me to close them again.

I'm in a hospital and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit, I thought as I groaned.

"Perrie? Are you awake?" a small voice asked.

Jade.

I opened my eyes again and turned my head to the right to see Jade sitting down next to my bed and holding my hand. And I, in my embarassing and flustered self, blushed beet red.

"Hey there," I greeted, but my voice was very hoarse. Really Perrie? Hey there? Is that all you can do? Gosh you're so lame, my inner self said.

"Gosh Perrie, you scared the crap out of me, don't ever do that again!" Jade said, her voice wavering. I knew that she was upset and possibly blaming herself for this when in reality, it was not her fault.

Well, I mean, she was the reason that I couldn't sleep, plus of course tumblr and twitter, but that's besides the point.

I motioned for her to come near me and she did. I gave her a hug and whispered in her ear that it was not her fault and that I was okay and she shouldn't blame herself for what happened to me.

When she calmed down, she told me that she already informed my parents about what happened to me, and that I shouldn't worry about the things that I need to do in school because it's a valid excuse that I submit late because I was sick. "Not too late though," she added.

We were watching tv when all of a sudden, I felt her breathe slowly and I realized that she fell asleep.

She looks so beautiful. How is that possible? I thought. She literally has the face of an angel.

I hated feeling this way. Feeling like I don't have any control in my body. Because the next thing I know, I was looking at her lips and rubbing my thumb over it thinking what could happen if it was put into mine.

I didn't want to think about these things. I wanted to rest. And that's what I did. I rested. I closed my eyes and prayed to whoever was listening above there, to keep this girl next to me, in my life and in my heart forever.
