The next morning I woke up when the Nanny, Susan, was preparing Mike for school. I wasn't feeling well so I was gonna stay home on that day.

"Hey, ain't you going to school today?" Mike asked when he saw me.

"No. I'm not feeling that well so I'll just stay home." I replied.

"Should I call your parents?" Susan asked.

"Don't bother, I'll just tell them myself." I said. " Do you need any help?" I asked noticing that she was making breakfast at the same time.

"No, I'm fine besides you're sick." She said.

"Ok then, I'll be upstairs if you need me and Mike have fun at school?" I told them as I went back to bed.

'Hi Tasha. Not feeling well so I'm staying home today. Please bring me any assignments.' I texted Tasha and she replied almost immediately.

'What's up? Did Jake's kiss come with a bacteria or what? Hahaha. ' She teased back.

'Fuck you Tasha.' I replied.

'Ok. Anyway, get well soon. I'll come to see you after school.' She said.

'Ok...see you soon.'

Just when I was done, Mike came in,

"Bye Alex, I'm leaving now," he said.

"Ok, say hi to Shana," I said. Jake had told me that she went to the same school and was in the same grade with him so I figured out they knew each other.

"How did you know her?" he asked.

"OH. I forgot to tell you. I am in the same school with her cousin Jake. He is the one I was doing the project with. Now go to school or you'll be late." I said as I hugged him.

"I think you have a fever, you're really hot. You should call mom and dad," he said.

"You don't worry, I'll be fine, ok? Go to school now." I told him.

I also texted Jake and told him to send me any assignments in Science class. Which was obviously a bad idea coz he would have to come to my house. I called my mom and told her that I stayed home because I wasn't feeling well. She was all mothered up at first then I told her it was just a fever and a mere stomachache.

I then fell asleep and woke up when Mike was already back from school. I had not eaten anything since morning but I wasn't hungry anyway. I went downstairs to grab something to eat so Susan fixed me a sandwich but I didn't even finish it. I didn't feel like eating anything so I just went back to my room and watched a movie with Mike.

School was already over so Tasha was to come any time soon. She came straight to my room and she helped me study what I had missed in school. After a while she went back to her house to have a shower and change. Susan then came to my room.

"There is a guy called Jake waiting for you downstairs." She said.

"What does he want?" I asked disgusted just by that name.

"I don't know. Just go and see him." She said.

"Okay." I said and she left.

I waited for a while then got out of bed. I felt a sharp pain cross my stomach and I groaned in pain and held my stomach tightly. Mike hurried to me

"What's wrong Alex," he asked worried.

"Nothing. I'll be fine. Can you help me downstairs?" I said as he helped me get up.

He's short but still helped me gain my balance. I wasn't really okay but I just said that for him not to worry. My stomach really hurt a lot as we got down the stairs. Once we were down, I noticed Jake coming towards us to help Mike. I couldn't stand the pain any longer so I let out a scream and fell down.

"Alex, please get up." Mike said while crying and that was the only thing I heard then I collapsed.
