Chapter 9: Complicated Love- Who's That?

*Haley's POV*

I'm glad we made up. I really hate fighting with people. Now I gotta tell my friends. They're probably really worried and anxious to know what happened. As I walked into the room, my friends came in. "Hey what happened?" Caroline asked. I was confused. Why were they calm? I expecting a bunch of questions thrown at me. I must have looked as confused as I was because Caro explained. "I made them calm down so you wouldn't be overwhelmed". "Oh thanks but I do have good news. We made up" I smiled. Everyone breathed out sighs of relief. "That's awesome" they exclaimed. "Details?" Ev smirked. "Well..." I started. After explaining everything, I sighed again. Suddenly, I felt very tired. I did have a lot going on today. I need rest. "Well I'm glad you made up. Hey, you okay? You look like you could faint any second" Danyelle asked concerned. I don't know why but I was feeling really dizzy. "No I feel sick" I moaned, holding my stomach. "Well maybe you should-" Danyelle started. We heard a knock at the door. "Hi Mr. Malik" Ev grinned. "Hi can I speak to Haley? I miss her" he asked. "Awwww! Yeah she's here. She is laying down cause she doesn't feel well" Ev replied letting him in. "Thanks" Zayn stated coming in by my bed. "Haley love are you okay?" he asked. "No I'm tired and I feel dizzy and sick" I responded, clutching my stomach. "I'm sorry. Did you eat something bad?" he asked, stroking my hair as he felt my forehead. "I don't know, maybe" I groaned. "You're burning up. Do you need to see the nurse?" he asked sympathetically. "No I'll be f-" I cut off, running to the bathroom. Soon, the sounds of me throwing up filled the room. "Haley are you okay in there?" Zayn and Danyelle asked. "Yeah" I mumbled. After I was done, I stumbled back in. "You alright?" Caro asked. "No I want to go to the doctor" I grumbled, laying back down. "We'll take you" Ev promised. "I'll come too" Zayn agreed. "Now?" I asked. It's only 5. "Sure let's go. I'll drive" Zayn answered. Danyelle helped me walk to the school's parking lot to limit suspicion. As soon as we reached his car, a blue Porsche, he laid me in the very back. My friends sat in the middle with Zayn in the driver's seat. We rode to the doctor and checked in. "I don't get it. You never get sick" Caro pointed out as we sat in the waiting room. "I know! What happened?" Ev asked. "Well not to make this awkward but have you...had..sex recently?" Zayn asked slowly. "No I'm not ready" I blushed. "Oh good. Well did you eat something at lunch?"'he asked. "I had a chicken wrap and some lemonade" I answered. Nothing weird. "Well then I'm not sure. Maybe the chicken was underdone" he replied puzzled. I don't blame him;this is weird. "Haley McBratnie?" the nurse called. "Yes?" I asked. "The doctor will see you now" she smiled, gesturing us towards a door. We followed down to 3F and sat down. "You'll be fine" Zayn assured, squeezing my hand gently. "Thanks" I smiled weakly. "Hello Haley how are you?" the doctor asked, walking in and shaking my hand. "Not very good. I feel sick" I replied. "Well thats not good. But don't worry, I'll fix you up. I'm Dr. Smith" she smiled. "Thank you" I stated. "Of course. Now what seems to be the problem?" she asked. "I feel tired and dizzy. I have a fever and I threw up earlier. I still feel nauseous" I told her. "Well that's just awful isn't it? I'll run some tests and see what the problem is" she commented. After running the tests, she scribbled on her clipboard and looked up at me. "Well sweetie it seems you have the flu. I'm sorry. I'll write you up a prescription and you should be good as new in 3-5 days" she frowned. How sweet even though she treats me like a kid. "Thanks Dr.Smith that helps a lot" I thanked. "No problem. Here take these. Just two a day, morning and night, and you'll be fine in 3-5 days" she answered, handing me a slip of paper. "Thanks" I replied getting up. "Of course. Feel better" she welcomed. We left and piled into the car. I decided on the front seat to be close to Zayn. "I'm sorry babe. I hope you're better soon" he apologized, rubbing my hand with his thumb. "It's okay. I'll be fine. I'm just worried about homework" I replied. "Don't worry. I don't give it on the first week. It's Tuesday and she said you should be fine by Monday so no worries" he explained. "Thanks babe" I thanked. "Of course" he cooed, kissing my hand. All of the sudden, he got a text. I glanced at the screen. I gasped as I read it. From Jennifer: "Hey babe wanna hang? 😋😉". "Zayn" I gasped. "I-I" he stammered. "Who's that?" I asked heartbroken.
