Another Sick Day

Thursday December 17

Tinsley POV

I woke up, my mom told me to get ready, so I did. I guess she was taking me to the doctors today. I need to go. I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay in bed all day and dream of Dean again. I wanted to see him again but then again I didn't want to see him. My mom came walking into my room and she half smiled at me. 

"You ready to go?" she asked me and I nodded my head. I got up off of my bed and followed her out of my room after I grabbed my phone and a hoodie from my chair at my desk. I walked downstairs and she handed me some toast and a bottle of ginger ale. We walked out of her vehicle and I was ready to go and get whatever I have taken care of. As I sat down in the passenger seat my phone went off and I was really irritated. I don't know why I was irritated but I just was. I looked at my phone and rolled my eyes once I saw who it was but then I smiled. 

Deanie: I'm still in PA, can I see you?

I thought about what I should text Dean back. My mom looked over at me and smiled. 

"You know you should give him a chance." she said and I looked at her from looking at my phone. 

"He has a girlfriend and now he wants to do something with me and he hasn't had time for any other time." I said and she nodded her head. 

"I know baby girl but what if it's different this time. He wants to just hang out with you and see you. Give it a try." she said and I looked at her. I thought about what to text him.

T: Not today. I'm sick and I'm going to the doctors.

I put my phone down and started staring out the window. My phone went off but I ignored it. I wasn't in the mood to answer anyone. I just wanted to get to the doctors and then get home. My phone kept going off and it wouldn't stop and it was starting to make me mad. I grabbed it from underneath my leg to see who it was. Five unread messages.

Deanie: Oh okay. I'm here for one more day.

Rolly: I hope you're feeling better. I miss you at school.

Deanie: if you want me to I can bring you soup and whatever else you want.

Rolly: Everyone is asking about you.

Rolly: Do you want me to collect your work?

I thought about what to text both of them back. I looked at my mom and she looked at me for a second.

"Dean wants to come over and bring anything I need over for me to get better and Rolland wants to get all of my work and bring it over for me. Is that okay?" I asked her and she smiled.

"Yes Dean can come over and bring whatever you want if he is willing to do that. Rolland can bring your work over if you want it." She said and I nodded my head. I decided to answer Dean first.

T: You can come over. I'll let you know when I get home.
