Falling For My Brother's Best Friend

FFMBBF - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Luke's POV

I woke the next morning laying next to her beautiful naked body, her wavy blonde hair covered my arm as she rest her head on my chest, snuggling into my side. I lightly kissed the top of her head then tried moving to get her closer, her eyes fluttered and slowly opened. I smiled at her. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

"I am a bit sore but I'll live." She grinned back at me. I leaned closer to giving her a soft peck, which soon turned into a very heated, passionate kiss. Before I knew it we were going for round two.

....................................................................................................

That was three weeks ago, it's unforgetable. Sydney has been more confident since that night. The bad thing though, Jesse and Jamie have been around more often. When they were around their eyes were always glued to the same two people, Syd and Em. I had told the guys but there's nothing more we can do now.

Sydney is always by my side or sleeping...hell, even then she's right beside me. I was walking towards Sydney's class as the bell rang and the halls filled with students. I saw Sydney in the crowd and walked towards her. When I reached her I grabbed her waist. "I told you to wait in the classroom." I said, making my voice sound angry.

She gave me an innocent smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had an overprotective boyfriend, how stupid of me?" She said sarcastically, my lips twitched into a smile before it disappeared and I was pretending to still be mad at her. "You have to wait, you could've gotten hurt!" I said, my voice a little softer. I didn't want her to get hurt.

She pouted and I started to laugh quietly. We were just standing there laughing when she stopped and threw her hand over her mouth. I stopped laughing too, she looked slightly paler than normal and when she turned and speed down the hall I knew something was up. Speeding after her, I burst throught the door to the girls toilets I saw her go in.

My heart dropped slightly when I heard someone being sick. I walked along the row of stalls and stopped outside the one where the noise was coming from. When I opened the door, Sydney was kneeling there, her head in the toilet, throwing up her breakfast. I walked up behind her and started to rub her back, good job she wore her hair up today, I thought as I tried to calm her down.

"Syd, what's wrong? Are you feeling better?" I asked once she had stopped. She grabbed a piece of tissue, wiped her mouth before putting the tissue in the toilet and flushing it. She looked at me shaking slightly. "I don't know, I threw up this morning as well. I woke up at about half three needing a quick drink."

"Why didn't you wake me?" I asked her concerned.

"I was already in the kitchen when I felt like throwing up my guts so I ran to the bathroom down the hall. It was too early to wake you up....maybe I have food poisoning from dinner last night?" She asked looking up at me. Her eyes were wide and had tears in them, while her face was pale, slowly gaining its natural tanned colour.

I started thinking, she may have. We all went out last night to a restaurant, everyone had steak while Sydney had the chicken. It did look slightly undercooked. "Yeah, thats sounds highly likely. I mean, it did look undercooked." Syd nodded her head in agreement. She stood up and walked to the sink, popping a mint into her mouth before applying some clear lip gloss and turning to me smiling.

We made our way out of the toilets and down towards the cafeteria, buying our lunch and sitting at our usual table with everyone else. Half way through lunch Clay and Tristian came to sit with us. This was the first time they had come to join us, normally they stayed with the football team, but they were my best friends.

They immediatly clicked with Olivia and Amy, it was like they already knew the other. They actually looked happy, smiling...not smirking, maybe they had found their Sydney? I hope they had, it was an amazing feeling when you found 'the one'.

Syd started eating after about 10 mins, she still wasn' t looking all that good but at least she was trying to eat. It wasn't long before she started running towards the bathroom again. Everyone just watched her as she ran away while I jumped up and chased after her. When I reached the toilets she was already spilling out the lunch she didn't get to eat.

I rubbed her back while holding her hair up. She stayed like that for another ten minutes before lifting her head and falling into me. She reached for some tissue and wipped her mouth, putting the tissue in the toilet and flushing before sitting in my lap and cuddling up to me. Her body started shaking as I held her close to me.

"Please don't cry Syd, you'll be fine soon, I promise. C'mon, lets get you home." I cooed before standing up and lifting her up with me. I carried her through the empty hallways towards my car and strapped her in before goind round to the drivers side, hopping in and driving towards home.

Once home Sydney went straight to her room, changed into her pj's and slipped into bed snuggling down and drifting off to sleep. I slid in next to her snuggling up to her to make her feel safe and protected. I think it had the desired affect as she cuddled even closer towards me. I was so comfortable that I couldn't help but let my eyes slid shut.

.......................................................................................

I awoke to the sounds of someone in the bathroom....throwing up....again. I sprung out of bed and ran into the ensuite comforting Syd while she threw up nothing once again. "Why can't I just sleep in piece without having to wake up at half three in the morning to throw up nothing but acid?" She whined after brushing her teeth.

We got back into bed and feel asleep almost instantly.

Sydney POV

I had been being sick for the past week and it wasn't very pleasant. I haven't thrown up yet this week so I'm hoping that I have gotten better. I was feeling better as well, I was eating and laughing again...not that I hadn't been laughng before, I just felt more healthy now.

But I didn't see what was coming, one minute I was walking through the corridors as I hadn't waited for Luke like I was meant to and the next I was being pulled out the emergency exit, blindfolded, gaged and scared as hell.
