Connor rolled around his bed restlessly. No matter which why he laid, he just couldn't get comfortable. Each time he took off his blanket he got cold, every time he put it back on he started to sweat.

Once he finally got comfortable, he started to sneeze. When Connor finally gave up on trying to sleep, he sat up.

Glancing at the clock. He saw it was 5am. He rubbed his eyes. He coughed a couple times then sneezed.

Connor stood up walking to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror. Dark circles formed underneath his eyes. His body began to shiver with chills. The sick boy grabbed a blanket to wrap around his self. He laid down on his bed then texted Jude.

C: r u awake?

Jude didn't respond.

C: Jude wake up

C:wake upp

C:waaakkkkeeee uuuuppppp!!

Connor waited a couple minutes for a reply.

J: Connor I need you to do me a very, very important favor.

C: anything.

J: lose my number.

C: but I'm dying.

J: you can't die later?

C: trust me, I'll probably be dying later too.

J: ok, I'll be there in ten.

Jude groaned before he stood up from his bed. The sound of rain and wind hitting his window. He grabbed Connor's hoodie and walked down the stairs. Trying not to make them creak.

Jude grabbed a sticky note from a drawer next to the stove.

"Dear Moms,
I went to go help Connor with something. I should be back home around three. Call or Text me if you need anything." Jude said in his head as he wrote the note.

He stuck the note to the refrigerator then walked out the door.

Connor opened his eyes to the sound of the doorbell ringing. He was confused for a minute before standing up. He wrapped his self up in a blanket then walked downstairs to answer it.
~~~
"Nice blanket." Jude smirked.

"Nice PJ's. And Leave my blanket alone, It's comfy."

"I'm sure it is, but I'm pretty you didn't wake me up at 5am to talk about your blanket, so what's wrong?"

Connor sneezed before he could respond.

"Guess."

Jude looked at Connor. All he saw was dark circles around his eyes. Connor coughed.

"Circles, sneezing, coug-" Jude lost his train of thought.

"You're sick?"

"And we have a winner." Connor sneezed again.

"Well standing in the rain isn't going to help." Jude stepped inside and closed the door.

They walked over to the kitchen then sat down.

"Are we still gonna go to the movies?" Connor asked.

"We can't now."

"But I wanted to see The Ghostbusters movie."

"We'll go see it when you feel better."

"But I wanna see it now."

"You can't because you're going upstairs to lay down." Jude pulled Connor up then pushed him towards the stairs.
~~~
"Why is it so cold in here?" Jude asked crossing his arms.
