I cant hardly open my eyes... it hurts a lot. I'm feeling worse than yesterday. My stomach hurts its like I'm gonna throw up. And my throat hurts too. I covered my whole body with my blanket. It sucks having a fever I mean seriously. I cant move, its like I'm being tortured. I wished I haven't slept on the floor. " Sweetheart, how are you doing?" my mom asked, bringing with her some pancakes.
" worse... than yesterday.." I tried to talk, even thou my voice was husky. It is such a pain in the throat.
" want some pancakes?" she offered me some. I ate a little and then she left.
My stomach is really feeling bad... this is bad. I rushed to the C.R and threw up. then I heard my mom " Sel, you have a visitor!". I went out of the bathroom really wasted and I saw Hayden '' gosh Sel, you looked really wasted!" he said. I was like yep, thanks for reminding me.
As I lay on my bed, he sat on the corner of my bed
" why not go to school yet?" I controlled my husky voice.
" I dont feel like going to school".
" do your parents know?"
" yep, they understand"
. " Hayden, you're not going to school are you?" my mom asked that question. Hayden nodded his head " well can you please watch Sel for me? I'm gonna go to work, dont worry Hayden I asked permission to your parents." explained my mom.
" what? mom, I'm gonna be fine!" I shouted my lungs out.
" its going to be okay honey. Im gonna go now, bye." she kissed me on the cheeck and waived goodbye. I sat on my bed while staring at Hayden, so he stared back.
" you're gonna kill me" I glared, Hayden just smiled and went down stairs. Great... just great.
I went downstairs too after 10 minutes. I'm dizzy, but I dont mind.
" you hungry?" he's making something.
" no, my stomach is upset." .
" nice voice you got there, it'll be better if you're voice stayed like that" he teased. I dont bother answering. But instead I lay on the couch.
" how come you have a fever?"
" I slept on the floor"
He giggled . " here, drink this" he said, handing me an orange juice. I thanked him and then I drank the orange juice.
"Ow, my throat hurts when I drank that." I touched my throat
" of course it will" he smiled I sat there beside him and I rested my head with my arm
" its 11:00 am, I better cook lunch" he said motherly,
" you can cook?" I asked
" a true man can cook" and then he went to the kitchen. While he was cooking, I took a bath. I cant almost feel the water draining down through my body. After I took a bath, I looked at myself in our full bodied mirror " man, all that puking makes me thin" I said to myself. I dressed up and went downstairs slowly.
" what the hell are you cooking?" I sneeked behind Hayden who's adding random ingredients
" Its a soup" he sneered. I'm not used to at having soup for lunch but its okay. I wached Hayden how he cook, cause I'm comparing him to mom. But no one's greater than mom.
" I'll prepare the table..."
" no, you should go and wait. I'm gonna prepare that." he commanded. So I sighed, it doesn't mean I'm sick I cant do anything. I'm prohibited at doing what I like to do. So instead of fighting back since I dont have an energy to do that, I sat on the stairs. I let the curls of the end of my scarlet straight hair rest on my shoulder. I know its odd to have a straight hair with big curls on the end of it. But I love my damn hair.
Lunch is served. He placed a bowl of soup in front of me.
" what soup is this?" I played with the soup.
" Its a mushroom soup, my mom used to cook that for me whenever I'm sick." Mushroom soup... I started at the soup for a long time. Wondering if it'll kill me, but it smells delicous. I bet one sip wouldn't hurt
" hey eat it, I worked hard on that." .
" how bout you, dont you want to taste your own cook?"
" nah, I'm fine"
. So I ate the soup cause it will be a big shame if you dont eat a food that was cooked for you. It tasted good, I never thought he could cook good. I expected it to kill me, but it made me feel more alive. After the great sensation, I stood up " so how does it taste?" he asked curiosly
" it tasted awful!" I lied, his smile broke into a serious face " just kidding. It tastes great, thank you" I said and he smiled again.
I took a nap at the couch while Hayden was beside me watching T.V. I'm shivering cause I still have a fever. Hayden placed a blanket on my body, its pretty embarrassing that he can see me shivering from the coldness. I'm half awake and its only 5:30 pm and mom's gonna be home at 10:00pm. As I opened my eyes, I saw a very scary girl in the T.V. I freaked out and covered my whole body with the blanket, Hayden laughed.
" what the heck was that?" I asked still undercovers
" its a horror movie dumb idiot" he laughed. I cant take off the blanket untill Hayden pulled them down. I quickly grabbed a pillow beside me and covered my face
" Damn you!"
Hayden laughed like there's no tomorrow " alright, I'm sorry that you're scared and I laughed. Its just because it it the first time I saw you freaked out and scared like that." he changed the channel.
" I knew all along you're gonna kill me" I threw the pillow at him " hey, I'm a nice guy" he giggled.
" As if you were!" I said sitting comfortably beside him while watching Sponge Bob. As the intro song of the sponge bob went, I sang along
" oh, you're so immature" he sighed
" who could resist the everlasting humor that this cartoon have?".
" I can" he answered, but he watched with me. We laughed, even thou my laugh turns to a cough.
" man, i love this guy" he said referring to sponge bob
" But I thought you ressist sponge bob's humor?"
" nope. I'm just kidding" he said. I smiled and continued watching sponge bob.
Time goes fast cause were having so much fun. Even thou I puke a lot this day. We ordered pizza for dinner and a drank my medicine afterwards. I jumped up and down on my bed, I didnt know why did I did that.
" Sel, are you feeling better now or you're not really sick? he stared at me with confusion all over his face
" It doesnt mean I'm sick, I have to lay on bed all day and end up my day doing nothing at all."
Hayden smiled " you know what, even if you're sick... you never failed to make my day" . That made me smile, almost the nicest thing that Hayden said to me.
My mom got home after a few hours of talk. She ran up to me and hugged me " oh honey, I was so worried about you!" she said worriedly "
" I'm okay mom, Hayden take such good care of me and a feel a little better now so... why worry?".
" thank you very much Hayden, for taking such good care of my daughter. You are such a nice and charming young boy that I knew I could count on, I pay you my gratitude."
. " no problem. Anytime whenever I'm free"
. " Dearie, do you have something to say to Hayden?" my mom faced me
" well thank you Hayden, for not trying to ki- I mean for taking your part when mom's not around. I didnt even know you can cook so, thanks again" I smiled
" dont mention it, so I guess I'll be going... bye!" he said while heading home. We waived goodbye, such a good friend I have. I went to bed, knowing I'll feel better tomorrow.
