Trying Something New (DISCONTINUED)

Why are you being nice?

Since the moment I woke up, I've felt like complete and utter crap. I have a headache, I feel weak, my nose is stuffy, and I feel like someone rubbed sandpaper down my throat. I'm just laying here on my bed with nothing to do since Oli is out with friends, Kels is probably at the mall doing her annual rounds at the designer stores, and Em and Jake are at their friends house since they spent the night last night there. It has been a week since the dinner with Mr. Williams, Father was not too happy when we got home so he struck me and now I have a terrible bruise on my arm from when he gripped me, and a terrible bruise on my ribs where he struck me.

"ACHOOO!"

I sneezed as I felt snot on my upper lip, I shuddered in disgust as I grabbed the box of tissues next to my bed and blew my nose.

"Wow, how did you get so sick? you were perfectly fine yesterday,"

I heard a voice say as I look over to my door and see Luca standing there. I was surprised to see him here since I didn't call him or text him, and Oli isn't here.

"What are you doing here?"

I tried to say in a normal voice but because of my stuffy nose, I sounded like Squidward.

"Well I came by because Oli told me to come and check on you, he heard you sneezing and blowing your nose this morning but he couldn't cancel on his friends because he promised them he would take them to go see that famous Farrah chick."

Luca said with a shrug as he came over to the bed and crawled up next to me until half of him was hovering over me and I tried to catch my breath. I'm pretty sure I sounded like I was hyperventilating as he brought his hand to my forehead but on instinct, because of my dad, I pressed my head farther into my pillow to get away from it. Luca frowned as he pulled away and sat back on his heels.

"I'm not gonna hurt you Pay, I'm just gone check your temperature okay?"

I just nodded as he slowly came up again and very gingerly, with a slightly shaking hand, placed the back of his hand on my forehead, than on both my cheeks.

"You're burning up, we need to get these blankets off you, you need to change to shorts and a tank top, and I will find you a sheet to use."

He stated as he got up from the bed and walked out the door. I slowly pulled the blankets away from me, but when I tried to stand, I felt dizzy and lightheaded as I fell back down to the bed. I got on the floor and crawled my way to my closet as I pulled out spandex and a tanktop, until I remembered my bruise.

"Crap"

I whispered as I quickly took off the tanktop and grabbed a tshirt. I quickly crawled out of the closet but Luca was already there sitting on the edge of my bed that was once covered with fluffy blankets, was now stripped and covered in a simple, thin, silk sheet. Once he saw me on the floor he sighed as he got up, walked over to me and picked me up without warning. I felt tingles shooting up my body as he carried me to the bed. my heart was beating fast and I didn't realize he layed me on the bed, but my hand balled up his collar into a fist and I held on tight. Even as I noticed this, I didn't want to let go, but reluctantly I slowly unclenched my hand as I layed it flat on his chest. I couldn't breathe right as I stared up into those beautiful chocolate brown eyes. I could feel his heart beating faster, almost as fast as mine as he started to lean closer and closer. His eyes closed as his lips parted, I closed my eyes and did the same anticipating for his lips to be on -

"ACHOOO!!"

I sneezed and I opened my eyes and immediately they went wide with horror as I saw his face scrunch up into disgust as he had snot all over his face.
