Janoskians One-Shots

Sick Day Secrets

I never really understood why people complained when they were sick. To me it made no sense at all. Why would you want to tell people about how weak you are at the moment?

My twin brother, Luke, however, liked to milk being sick for all that it was worth. In reality, he just enjoyed being lazy.

-
I woke up in a cold sweat. I was definitely getting sick, which was something I hated with a passion. I hated how I was treated while sick, so I could not let anybody know. I toss and turn the rest of the night, but I'm eventually able to fall asleep again.
-

I wake again to the sound of Luke throwing up. Not only did we have to be born on the same day, but we get sick on the same day too. I get out of bed and go into his room to wait for him to come back.

"Jai?" Luke asked when he saw me on his bed. I just opened my arms as a form of comfort. It's weird since usually Luke hates affection, but he craves it whenever he gets sick.

"Jai, are you sick, too?" Luke asked me tiredly.

"No. Of course I'm not. Just go back to sleep." I shushed my twin. Sometimes, it was as if we shared an immune system. We always got sick together and we always knew when the other wasn't feeling well.

"Ok." Luke mumbled before drifting off again. I smiled outwardly, but really I felt terrible. I slowly let myself drift off as well.

-
"Good morning my little sunshine!" I'm woken by the screaming of my older brother. "Oh, Jai. What are you doing in here?"

"Luke doesn't feel good. I think he's sick." I supplied.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to be around him, then. The last thing we need is two sick twins." Beau advised. It was advice that I did not need or want.

"I don't get sick!" I ground out harshly causing Beau to laugh.

"Okay Mr. Grumpypants. Still you should get up. We have a lot to do today. Since Luke's sick, you'll have to fill in for him." Beau informed me. Just great, Luke's sick and I have to fill in because I'm his twin brother. Could they get any more original?

I slowly pushed Luke off of me and stood up. A wave of dizziness overtook me as I fell down again. Beau gave me a pointed look.

"My legs are asleep." I was quick to find an excuse. "I'll be down in a minute. Promise." Beau rolled his eyes at me before leaving the room. I sighed. Today was not going to be a good day.

I tried standing up again, and this time I succeeded. The nausea, however, decided it was going to mock me instead. I was strong, though. I could handle it.

"Jai?" Luke called out before he broke out into hacking coughs. "Where are you going? Don't leave me."

"It's a busy day, Luke. You just try to get some rest and I'll check on you as soon as I can." I promised him.

"But shouldn't you get some rest too?" Luke stared up at me questionably. "You're sicker than I am."

"I'm not sick, Luke."

"Whatever you say, Jai-Jai...."

-
I had finally made it downstairs after much struggling. I felt weak and overall strained, but I couldn't let anyone know that. I dont know how anyone could be vulnerable enough to tell people when they get sick.

"Look who finally decided to Grace is with their presence, Beau!" Daniel exclaimed. I shot him a glare which immediately shut him up.

"About time you showed up, Princess." Beau teased me before setting a plate full of pancakes on the table for me. I rolled my eyes at him, but I really couldn't expect anything less.

"Yup." I spoke confidently. I stared down at the pancakes. The nausea was really setting in now, and the smell made me almost gag. I could do this, though.

I picked up my fork. I tore into the disgusting food in front of me as fast as I could, swallowing every bite. It took a lot of effort, but I was able to not throw it all back up. I know Beau already thought I was sick solely because Luke was sick, so I couldn't let him find out about this.

I stood up and started walking towards the door, intent on leaving and getting this horrid day over with. I stumbled a little on my way when black dots  started to dance through my vision. I powered through it when I probably shouldn't have. I'm  prone to blackouts, and I'm not supposed to push mylike that.

"C'mon you pansies." I called over my shoulder at Daniel and Beau. They shared a look that definitely meant that they were going to terrorize me some way. Just what I needed for the perfect day.

Beau and Daniel met me outside the house where I learned we were just going to walking around making bird noises before meeting in an alley way in town with some other Youtuber to drink raw eggs mixed with cinnamon and chili powder. Let me just say I couldn't wait.

After harassing countless people with Beau on my back, because he just couldn't stand to walk himself, we had finally arrived at the alley way.

"Aww!" Daniel moaned. "Kian just texted me. Him and Jc can't make it."

"Oh well. More fun for us." Beau cheered. I started to notice then that the world had started to spin really fast and it was getting unimaginably hotter.

"Jai, are you okay?" I'm not sure who asked that question, but I nodded my head anyways.

"Yeah it's just really hot out here." I explained. My knees started to shake right as Beau handed me a glass of something. I thought there were supposed to be eggs involved, but now I'm just not sure of anything.

I felt my eyes roll back into my head as my vision faded to black.

-
It felt like someone was carrying me, but I just wasn't sure anymore. What was happening?

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" I heard someone scream, but I just didn't know who it was. They seemed upset, though.

"I don't know he just went down out of nowhere." It might have been a different voice, but at the same time it could have been the same.

"I should have said something! I knew he was sick!"

"Not sick." I mumbled, forcing my eyes open to meet the eyes of my twin brother.

"Jai! You're awake!" Luke yelled. I tried to sit up only to find I was in Beau's arms.

"Put meh down Beau!" I commanded. My voice didn't come out right, so it didn't sound like I wanted it to. Beau carefully put me on the couch and forced me to lie down. "What happened?"

"You passed out again." Daniel supplied and I groaned.

" I knew you were sick!" Luke nagged. "And don't even try to say you aren't. No one believes that anyway."

"Fine. I'm sick, but it's really not a big deal!"

"Yes it is, Jai" Beau argued softly. Luke, however, was angry.

"Not a big deal? You passed out Jai. You passed out, because you over- exerted yourself again. When will you learn? It's okay to let people help."

"Yes it is!" I argued back. "I dont need help. I'm tough and I can take care of myself."

"Obviously not, if you let yourself get so sick you lose consciousness."

"Okaaay!" Beau interrupted our fight. "Jai your health is far more important than your pride. I know you don't like being babied, so we won't baby you unless you let it get to that point. Deal?"

"Yeah." I agreed, although I really didn't want to.

"And Luke. You have to remember how shy Jai can be. If he doesn't want to be babied, then don't push him. Now both of you up to bed."

"Yes, Mum." Luke and I managed to chorus together before Luke dragged me up to his room so he could make sure I didn't do anything to further damage my health.
