Can You Feel My Heart [Fransykes]

Chapter 10

When I woke up only one ray of sunlight cut the darkness in my room. I rolled to the other side hoping to bump into Josh, but he wasn't there.

The feeling of surprise and abandonment struck through me as I was suddenly wide awake and sitting straight up in my bed. But then I remembered that he told me I wasn't going to school which means that he probably snaked out for school making sure he doesn't wake me up.

Relief washed over me as I focused on the thought of him cuddling me the whole night and I found myself slightly smiling. My smile was gone though as I remembered why he cuddled me the whole night.

Josh said he was gonna take care of it. I suddenly got the urge to go to school to actually see what was going on, but then again it was just an urge. I didn't act on it of course. I wasn't stupid. I would probably have a panic attack the moment I stepped into that white building of death.

"Honey, Josh told me you weren't feeling well, so I let you sleep..." My mom entered the room and at first I thought that Josh actually told her what was going on, but thank God he didn't. "...but now you should get downstairs and eat something. It's noon already."

Noon? I slept that long? Well actually, considering that I probably fell asleep around 4 am it wasn't a that long. It was a normal 8 hour sleep and even though I usually didn't need to sleep long I was exhausted from everything that happened yesterday.

"Okay, I'll be down in a sec." I said getting out of bed.

'A sec' somehow turned into an hour and a half though. I realized I was in the same clothes as yesterday, so I took a long shower and put on some clean clothes - all with music of course what just made it all last even longer as I was singing along and dancing enjoying the distraction from the reality I'll eventually have to face.

"Took you long enough." My mom told me when I finally got my ass downstairs.

I gave her a small smile sitting at the bar table in our kitchen as she put a bowl of soup before me.

"I'm supposed to eat that?" I looked at the chicken soup. I hated those. I didn't really like meat in general.

"If you're not feeling well, soup is definitely good for you."

"Ha." I clicked my tongue as she handed me the spoon.

She then disappeared into the living room right in time when I heard the front door open.

I turned around just to see Josh dropping his backpack and jacket to the couch and heading towards.

"Hey." I told him and he just walked up to me and quickly hugged me from behind kissing my cheek.

I felt my cheeks burn, but he moved away as quickly moving my soup away from me throwing it all straight into the sink.

He opened the freezer and put a box of ice cream in front of me handing me a clean spoon.

"That resented quickly." I said smiling.

"I know you." Josh smiled right back at me messing my hair.

He moved to the kitchen drawers going through each one of them until he found cookies, then he sat across me and looked at me with a small smile. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Better." I spoke softly looking down at my ice cream.

"You sure? Because if not, I can get you more ice cream." Josh said making me laugh.

"No, really. I'm fine now." I said not sure if that was entirely true, but at least partly it was. "What happened at school?" I asked then wanting to move the attention away from me.
