Harrison was driving on the highway. They were almost home, but it felt like they had a long way to go yet. He looked over to check on Jay. He had dozed off again, and looked uncomfortable. It doesn't look like there will be a YouTube video for a while, he thought. Harrison had to admit that he was worried about Jay. He has never been this sick before, and Harrison didn't know the first thing about playing nurse. He thought about taking him straight to the doctor, but they didn't have health insurance or the money for just an office visit. "I guess we'll just play this by ear," Harrison said to a sleeping Jay.

...................

They pulled up next to their trailer. Finally, they were home.

"Jay, wake up," Harrison shook his sick brother. Jay groaned, and kept his eyes closed.

"C'mon Jay," Harrison shook him again, " Just walk into the trailer with me, and then, I promise, you can sleep all you want."

Jay slowly opened his eyes, sleeping on the couch does sound better than sleeping in the car. Harrison opened the door for him, and Jay gathered up the strength he needed to get out of the car. He stood up with shaky legs and closed his eyes tightly. Everything was spinning so much, he felt like he was riding a rollercoaster standing up.

"Do you need help?" Harrison asked.

Jay nodded.

Harrison put his arm around his brother, Jay took a step and almost collapsed.

"C'mon bro, you can do it," Harrison encouraged, "Just to the trailer."

Jay gathered up all his strength, put on a brave face, and hobbled towards the trailer with Harrison supporting him.

As soon as they got to the steps, Jay didn't think he had the strength to go up the stairs. He was starting to give up.

Harrison could tell that Jay was giving in, but he had to go up the steps!

"Jay c'mon. Up the steps, you can do it," he urged.

"Can't," Jay responded weakly.

"Yes you can," Harrison reassured, "we are almost to the couch, and when you get there, there will be a nice cup of tea waiting for you."

"That would be nice", Jay said. Nothing sounded better than a cup of tea right now.

"Yeah, and you won't get it unless we get inside, Harrison stated, "now come on, up those steps!"

............

It took them 5 minutes just to get up four steps, and Harrison practically had to carry Jay to the living room. He laid him down on the couch and covered him up.

Jay looked around expectingly, "Where's my tea?" he asked looking up at Harrison.

Harrison smiled, "I'll be right back", he said as he walked to the kitchen.

...............

As Harrison returned back to the living room with a steaming cup of tea, he saw that Jay was knocked out cold. Harrison grinned, he knew that Jay wouldn't be able to drink tea without having a long rest first, but he had to do something to get him up the stairs. He put the tea on the kitchen counter, Jay'll drink it when he wakes up. Harrison put his hand on Jay's forehead. His fever hasn't gone down at all. He went to the bathroom to get a wet washcloth, and put it on his twin brother's sweaty forehead. Harrison looked at Jay. Everything seemed to be alright for now. He looked at the time. 5:00, he planned to film a video for his personal channel today. Harrison cleaned the tea things up, checked on Jay one last time, and headed over to the filming room.
