By a Chance of Fate | Andy Biersack

Chapter 10

When I got to school Andy was waiting for me over by the entrance, he looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep. I walked over to him and he suddenly threw himself onto me, hugging me tightly. I thought he was crying for a minute but really he just needed a hug.
"Andy what's wrong?"

"I don't know, I don't feel good. I barely got any sleep last night."

"Andy I'm gonna take you home."

"Do you even know how to drive?"

"Yes of course."

I drove Andy home and realised I was 10 minutes late for school, oh well I thought. I helped Andy out of his car and practically drug him into the house.

"Oh hey Ade just so you know, nobody's home so don't worry."

"Thanks."

"Of course little sister."

I laid Andy down on the couch and grabbed him the bathroom trash can just in case he had to puke. I started making him chicken soup since that always made me feel better when I was sick. While waiting for the soup I decided to call Mrs. Castro and explain why I'm not at school and why I might not go today.
"Hello?"

"Hey Mrs. Castro, it's Ade."

"Why are you calling me? Aren't you suppose to be in class? Did you get in trouble?"

"No, no I just thought you'd wanna know I'm not going..."

"What do you mean you're not going?"

"I mean, Andy got sick and he asked me to take care of. I drove him home since his parents are working... and I don't want to go back today unless he feels better."

"Ade... I don't know how I feel about this. I don't want you missing school."

"Please Mrs. Castro, I promise when I go back tomorrow I'll catch up on all my work."

"Ugh fine Ade but you better not get in trouble and you better be home by 7."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"See you at 7."

"See you at 7."

I did a little happy dance in Andy's kitchen when I realised I had forgotten about his soup. I looked over and it was still cooking, but I decided to take it off and check it just in case.

Andy devoured the chicken soup I had made him in about 30 seconds. I was impressed.

"Oh my god, Ade this is the best chicken soup ever!"

"Thanks Andy."

"Hey you wanna watch a movie?"

"Yeah sure, um what do you want to watch?"

"Just whatever, grab whatever interests you off the shelf."

"Alright."

We ended up settling on Batman Begins. Andy seemed really into the movie. I liked taking care of Andy, in a way it made me feel like we actually were brother and sister. Andy looked over at me with big blue eyes and I could tell it was his way of begging me for more chicken soup.

When I came back out with the chicken soup Andy was laying down shivering. I ran into the kitchen to grab the thermometer, when I took his temperature it was 100.5 degrees.

"Maybe we should call the doctor Andy."

"I HATE going to the doctors though, please don't make me." He pouted and pouted for the longest time and kept sticking out his bottom lip and whimpering.

"Fine Andy, but seriously you may need to see one. I think I'm gonna call your mom right now and see what she says."

"You won't."

"I will." And I did.

Andy was pretty upset I actually called her and she said that when she gets home she'll take him if he still doesn't feel well.

After the movie was over Andy fell asleep and I ended up just sitting there doing nothing. Andy was cute when he slept, but I had to stop thinking these things since he's my brother. Andy looked like he had woken up but he hadn't. Andy did eventually wake up but it was only to puke.

"Ade..."

"Yes I'll get you some water."

"Okay, bu-"

"Yes I'll go get you some mouth wash."

"Sounds good but let let me talk, jesus. I was going to ask if you'd lay down with me and help me warm up."

"Oh um, okay if that's really what you want. I guess I can do that."

I went and grabbed Andy a water and some mouth wash which he really appreciated. Andy scooted over, making room for me to lay down with him. I layed down feeling kind of awkward and then he kissed my forehead and passed out. Eventually I ended up falling asleep.

Hours had passed and I finally woke up and saw that my head on Andy's chest and he was awake.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I croaked.

"Because you looked like you were enjoying your nap."

"Oh, well what time is it?"

"Um a quarter til two."

"Oh we've been asleep for awhile then haha."

Andy's mom burst through the door looking stressed out to the max. She looked over at Andy and started to cry.

"Okay Andy let me take your temperature."

"Promise I don't have to go to the hospital then."

"Andy seriously, you're such a baby."

"Mom you know I hate going to the hospital."

"You're sick! You need to."

"Fine I'll go, but Ade has to come with us and I want a lollipop."

"Ade will you please come with us?"

"Uh yeah sure." I said while scratching the back of my neck and biting my lip.
