Your POV

Jack was coming over for a movie night, and I was kind of scared. We hadn't really done anything serious yet, it was in the stage right before things got serious. So I wasn't sure if I was in that "multiple girls" area or if I was meant to be a single interest. He told me before he's had problems with monogamous relationships, but promised that if we ever did get serious he would try to not do that to me. He said he was just as at fault as it was the girls he was with, but did it in retaliation at them. So I was scared when we started seeing each other, but wanted to take a chance anyway.

With my syndrome though, it was hard to tell if I was worth keeping around. The past dates I've told I've had that, most haven't had a second date, and if I have a second date, it's usually kind of rude, or they do something stupid. I haven't told Jack because I don't want to send him running for the hills.

Movie night wasn't a great idea, but it was the only thing I could think of to do on Halloween. I never got any trick-or-treaters and I didn't have any parties to go to, so there wasn't anything to do. Movie night was the only thing I could think of. When I asked Jack, he said he'd be delighted to spend Halloween with me, since he had already done his fair share of partying.

I was nervous to do this because I didn't want to fall asleep, or do one of my symptoms, so I tried to get a good night's rest, and I tried not to do anything strenuous. It was only a matter of time before the doorbell rang. When it did I nearly jumped.

I went to let Jack in and when I opened the door I was overwhelmed by the smell of his cologne. Just the smell I liked. I gave him a shy smile and let him in. "So what movie are we going to watch?" he asked me, taking off his jacket and laying it on my couch.

"I hadn't decided yet, what do you want to watch?"

"Y/N, you know the answer to that question. If you let me choose, you're not going to like it. So you have to."

"Fine. We'll look at Netflix in a bit, let me just finish getting ready."

"Getting ready for what?"

"Getting ready, Jack. Getting myself prepared."

"Oh right."

"Just sit down, I'll be in in a bit."

He sat down and waited for me. I had to calm myself down because the intensity of the situation was getting to be too much for me. Chronic fatigue syndrome is different with each person, and my problem was if I don't get enough sleep it could be disastrous and I'd start to get migraines. Exercise was also a problem, if I did too much, that would also result in headaches. Exercise could mean as little as getting up too suddenly, or as much as going for a run. I didn't know when it'd come on, but I could usually control it.

I calmed myself down and went to meet him in the living room, and even though he'd never been here before, he had already started up the system. "How'd you do that?" I asked him, walking into the room.

"It's the same thing as it is at my place," he called over his shoulder.

"Interesting." I sat down and got comfortable near him. He moved his arm so it was around me, using his other hand to look through the movies Netflix had to offer.
