EVETTE'S P.O.V.
I woke up with a headache.. quite a start for a Saturday morning, huh? Feeling a little heavy, I got down the stairs and to the kitchen, I poured myself some milk. I don't feel hot and I don't think I have a fever.. maybe I just got up from the wrong side of the bed today. I don't have school, I will just lay and sleep this off. Maybe I'll feel better after that..
"Oh, good morning honey.." mom greeted.
"Morning, mom.."
"You sound sick. Are you okay?"
I nodded. "Yes. I just feel a little dizzy.."
"Go rest in your room, Eve. I'll bring you breakfast soon, lay your head and get some sleep."
"Yeah.. I think I'll do that.. thank you, mom."
Without further ado, I get up to my room with a cold towel and placed it on my forehead. Now I think it's fever..

"Eve..?"
I heard somebody calling for me so I slowly opened my eyes. Thinking it was a dream, I closed them once again. Toby is sitting beside my bed.. haha what a—
"Hey wake up!"
They shook me so I really woke up.
"Eh? So you're really here?" I yelled, sitting up as I felt his cold hands on my back and arm. "What-what are you doing here?"
"I called you up, and your mom was the one who picked up the phone. She told me you were sick, so I rushed all the way here."
Huh?
"Don't you have any work today?"
Toby smiles. "Don't worry about it. We all decided to take a break since we just got back from tour. Anyway, how are you feeling? Better?"
I nodded. "Yeah.. I didn't realize that I fell asleep. I feel a little better than before.."
"You take some more rest, babe.."
Babe..
"What?" He questioned. "Can't I call my girlfriend that? You don't like it?"
"No! It just surprised me.."
"I thought I have made you feel insecure the other day.."
He was thinking about that? I really thought that didn't bother him..
"So I called earlier to greet you good morning.. but what I received is, my girlfriend is on her bed and sick."
My heart jumped. I know I tend to forget that Toby is now my boyfriend but.. I am new to this. So this is how it feels when your lover gives you the assurance that you didn't even ask for.. I wonder if he was like this with Ayesha?
"How is she?"
"Who?" He asks. "Yojan? Oh she's fine. We met at school y—"
"No. Ayesha." I looked at him. "Did you see her?"
Toby stayed silent, looking into my eyes and lips are zipped. Why did I question him like that? It sounds like I don't trust in him..
