Sarah Beth~
I woke up an hour or so later with someone gently patting me on the back of my shoulder, obviously trying to wake me up. I was laying on my stomach, so I had to halfway roll over to see who it was. Jeff's blonde tuff looked back at me as he lifted his hand up.
"Jeff?" I rubbed my eyes. I definally wasn't anywhere nere awake. I just wanted to go back to sleep. Every muscle in my body ached, and if I were to go back to sleep, I wouldn't feel it.
"Yeah, Ashley told me to check on you." He squated down so his face was at eyelevel. "Do you feel any better?" He brushed a piece of hair out of my face.
"No." Actually, I felt worse...and cold. I pulled my blanket closer to my body, hoping it would warm me.
"That's to bad." He let his hand linger on my forhead for a mement, and then removed it. "Well, I'm going to go jogging." He stood up and I realized he was wearing another pair of those hot short things. "Do you need anything?"
"Can you get me a Powerade?" I asked. He nodded his head and grabbed on from the kitchen.
"Here." I handed it to me. "Do you want anything else?"
"Can you turn on Cats, please?" I pointed to the tv. He sighed and turned it on.
"Okay. I'll probably be back later." He informed as he went into the kitchen. "Ash said if you need him just call him."
"Okay. Bye." I said as he left. I turned my attention to the movie, but realzied I was still tired. I layed my head back down, curled up in a tight ball, and drifted back off into sleep.
...........................
I'm not sure how long I slept, but when I woke up it seemed considerbly later. I stretched my legs out, only to hit someting. I sat up as quickly as I could manage, surprised.
"Ah!" What ever I hit screamed.
"Ah!" I screamed back. The thing jumped up. "Paige!"
"Oh..." He took a breath, trying to calm himself like I was. "You're awake. I didn't mean to- I mean, I didn't scream on purpose."
"It's fine." I sat completly up. The nap was no help, everything was still aching, and my head throbbed.
"Ashley se-"
"I know. Ashley sent you."
"To check on you. Are you okay?"
"Yeah." I sighed. "But my head hurts."
"I think he said there's some NyQuil around him somewhere."
"Is that the stuff that made me sleepy?" I questioned as he grabbed the bottle of stuff Ashley had given me last night.
"Probably...Here it is!" He went into the kitchen and came back with a spoon. He filled it with the dark syrup and handed it to me. I took it without complaint. It was warm as it went down my throat. I layed back down, wrapping up in my quilt.
"I'm going back to sleep." I informed, closing my eyes.
"Okay. I'm going to go, if you don't care."
"Okay." I yawned. "Go on. I'll be fine." And then I went back to sleep.

"Wake up Sarah Beth." The next time I woke up, Jeff was back. "I got you something to eat."
"Hm?" I sat back up.
"Food. I got you food." He handed me a bowl of soup. I looked like some kind of thick broth.
"What is it?"
