What A Life(Book 3 of My Life Flipped)

Valentine's Day

Well Valentine's Day had been on Thursday and EJ and I made plans for Saturday. Guess what it is Saturday!! And I am in bed coughing my guts out. You see Nickolas and Arabella decided to get me sick as they were sick, you see my problem, right? EJ and I were going to have a picnic and everything today, the sun was even shining, mocking me in my misery.

     I sneezed and then threw the dirty tissue in the garbage can beside my bed. I heard a knock at my door so I yelled in my cracked voice, "Go away." Instead of going away the person opened the door, it was EJ whom peered inside. "Are you sure, little dove? I am willing to get sick." If my body didn't hurt I would have jumped out of bed and hugged him. "Come in," I said, smiling. "My family said if i get sick i have to stay here," EJ said, smirking. I giggled, then coughed. He came over to my bed and I scooted over a little allowing EJ to lay next to me.

     "You sure you don't mind getting sick?" I asked, looking up. He smiled, shaking his head. I had forgotten what I had been watching on TV and EJ looked down on me and said, "Spongebob, really Katerina?" Though it pained me, I laughed hard, then went into spurts of coughing. EJ looked at me, eyes full of concern. I shook my head, hoping that it was a signal that I was fine. Once they were finished I rested my head on my pillow. EJ gently stroked my face, "Your beautiful even when sick."

     I gave him an "Oh really" look, but couldn't help but smile. A few strands of hair had gotten loose from my ponytail and EJ gently pushed them behind my ear. I propped myself on my pillow just as my mom came in carrying a bowl of soup. Without a word she handed the tray to EJ and went back out of the room. I scooted myself up into a sitting position and took the tray out of EJ's hands.

     "What was that about?" he asked. I took a spoonful of soup and said, "My mom has this big red carpet premiere to go to tomorrow and she is trying to avoid getting sick." EJ nodded and put an arm around me, I couldn't help but scoot slightly closer into his embrace. I finished my soup quickly and EJ took the tray from me, placing it on my end table. "Fun Valentine's Day," I joked, he smiled though. I reached up and traced the outline of his face, then his eyes, nose, and lips. Then I reached up and boinged one of his curls.

     He chuckled and took my hand, kissing it. I smiled, then I felt an unsettlement in my stomach. As quick as I could I sprinted to my bathroom, throwing open the lid I threw up. I felt EJ rub my back, I was happy this wasn't the first time he has seen me throw up, but still some images are better left unseen. My hair had fallen past my shoulders and I was mad, now I would have to take a shower.Once all the food was out of my stomach, I shooed EJ away telling him that I needed to take a shower.

     The warm water felt good on my body and I took the shampoo and scrubbed my hair good. After my shower, I quickly got dressed again and left my hair wet. EJ was awaiting me on my bed, flipping through the channels. I couldn't help admiring him, he was about 6 foot to my 5"7 which wasn't bad, he went to work out at a gym almost everyday so he was fit. He was just so handsome, all the girls at school envied me one because of him and two because of my movie stardom.

     I climbed back into bed, leaving some space in between EJ and I. EJ gently pulled me closer to him, kissing my forward. My phone went off, causing me to jump. I grabbed my phone off an end table and saw it was Jason. I glared at the phone for a second before answering, "Hello." Jason's voice sounded too cheerful compared to the mood I was in, "Hey Katerina! What's up? How's life?" I almost groaned but I held the groan in and said, "Oh I am riding magical unicorns, with rainbows getting in our way." Jason laughed and said, "Are the unicorns pretty." I coughed, it was a nasty, raspy sound, and Jason asked, "Are you sick?" I rolled my eyes at the phone and said, "No, I always cough like that."

     "Yeah right," Jason said, at least hearing my sarcasm. "No honestly, I am sick," I said, smirking to myself. "Well I could tell that. I was going to ask if you wanted to hang out today but never mind, I do not enjoy sickness," Jason said, and then the line went dead. I coughed, sneezed, and then said, "Well that was rude." EJ stroked my head and said, "That's just Jason, love." I looked up at EJ, giving him a warning glance and then said, "No bagging on Jason, no matter how many times he has annoyed us."

      Without anything else said, EJ reached into his pocket, retrieving a small box. He smiled and handed me the box. I took it eagerly flipping off the top of it. Inside was a heart-shaped locket and earrings. I was shocked, EJ took the locket in his hands and opened it. Inside with held a picture of me and him. it was my favorite picture because I had destroyed a few slices of pizza to create a heart shape out of it. I didn't say a word, instead I took the necklace out of the box, handing it to EJ, I turned my back to him, lifting my hair up.

     I felt EJ's reassuring hands go around my neck and clip the necklace around it. Instead of moving his hands, he pulled me closer to him, I released my hair, and fell into his warm embrace. I coughed a couple of times, but not once did EJ push me away. I eventually grabbed the card I had made EJ. It was red construction paper with a picture of EJ and I standing on the bridge where our pond was, the picture itself was wondrous. On it I had used cut out letters and it said "I Love You, Elias Julian."

     I also gave him a CD of his favorite band Muse. It was the CD he had been unable to get for the past few weeks. He gave me a kiss on the lips, which sent a warmth of electricity surging through my body. EJ and I spent the rest of the day together in my bed, chatting. The turn of events didn't matter, as long as we were united nothing could diminish our love. I felt sad when he had to leave, but I was happy all the same. <3
