Too Different?

10

 "Just like how I love Brax." He bit into his sandwich, my burning chest went to ease suddenly.

"So... You love her like a sister?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.

"Yeah. What else?" He looked at me concerned.

"Nothing." I took a bite of the sandwich, he placed his hand on my forehead.

"That's awesome!" He pushed both of his hands on my forehead. "You can actually feel the difference." He gave a dorky smile.

"I guess." I moved his hands, my forehead still felt cold to me. He took my hands and held them in his.

"What's wrong?" He asked. "You don't look like yourself." He said.

"I don't?" I looked at our hands before Justin held me in an embrace.

"I'm sure everything will be okay. Just don't worry about it... well not that I know what's troubling you." He smiled at me.

"You actually care?" I looked at him confused.

"Well duh. I'm your boyfriend, aren't I?" It looked as if his smile got brighter, I held onto him tighter.

"Thanks." I wish it was easy for us to stay like that all day, but we had only had the rest of the lunch period.

"Are you going to be okay?" Justin asked hearing the bell ring.

"Yeah, I'm probably just gonna stay in the nurse's until the end of school." I hesitated answering.

"How about I get Brax to get us? I don't want you getting any worse and there's no point in me staying anyway." He told me his idea.

"Won't I be bothering you guys?" I asked, Ii didn't want anything to go wrong with this.

"Not at all. I bet they're dying to see you again anyway." Justin said.

"I-I guess." Justin grabbed my back pack.

"Then you head down to the nurse, I'll go get my things." He walked off with my stuff.

 "I wish I could've written this down." I sighed quietly. He was such a nice guy, I wasn't sure how  I came across him again. I'm not even sure how a person like me could deserve a guy like him. My chest began to flare up again, my focus of the area ahead became blurred. I crouched down in the hallway to regain myself  and it was no use until I felt weightless.

"What are you doing?" It was Justin's voice. "If you sit in the hallway like that, you'll get trampled." He chuckled and let me stand on my own.

"Thanks. I just got dizzy for a second but I'm okay." I said, was I sick? It wasn't good to become sick the very at your friend starts high school, but I couldn't help it.

"I told you to be careful." He walked behind me, making sure I didn't fall.

"Hey lil' Luce. You feeling okay?" Braxton greeted me.

"Yeah, I think." I answered back, he opened the car doors and let us in.

"You already know that infection's been spreading around so be careful. If not, this guy's gonna cry his eyes out." He grinned pointing at Justin who was sitting in the front seat.

"I would not." He looked bashful.

"Sure you wouldn't." Braxton said with a sarcastic tone and gave me a wink. I smiled slightly at how funny the two were, but drowsiness had called upon me. For the most part I tried to stay awake, but I just couldn't seem to help but fall asleep.  After a short while I felt the vehicle stop, and could hear doors opening.

"She's pretty adorable when she's asleep." Braxton chuckled, my eyes wouldn't open and I still felt heavy.

"Yeah, but I like it better when she's talking about things she loves." I felt Justin carrying me as if I was as light as a feather.

"Like you." His tone was playful.

"Of course. But I still love her more." A door creaked as he opened it.

"Not like you'd ever say that to her face." It got warmer.

"S-shut up," I could tell he was embarrassed. "Will she be okay?" He asked putting me down somewhere.

"It's not like she's dying, she'll just stay there until she wakes up." Braxton said, his voice got distant.

"Alright." Justin said, I felt him press his lips down on my forehead. Though I was surely awake, I couldn't seem to react to anything. Slowly, even though I didn't know where I was, I fell back asleep comfortably. It was strangely warm near me.
