Preston's POV

I have spent all day vomiting up my guts for some unknown reason, that's not the worst part though. My skin has also been burning really bad, which is super creepy. What sickness even causes this? I don't know anything minor that would make your skin do such a thing. I think this may be a major illness I have. I'm trying to cool down by camping in a cold bath for what feels like hours. To my dismay, it's not working. This is the most agony I've been in, in all my life and it keeps getting worse. It's so bad I'm tempted to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital. I think that's what I'm going to do.

I weakly get out of the tub and reach for my phone that is on the sink. My body is so unbalance that I fall, knocking the device onto the floor with me. My body is sprawled out face up across the tile flooring. My contentiousness is fading in and out, meaning I'm going to black out from heat. I must have a bad fever since everything is so hot. Wait, shouldn't it be cold? Oh, whatever. I need help, now. I am in some serious pain here. If I had to describe it I would say it feels like lava being pored all over my body. Kinda irony, but true. There is no other way I could possibly put this.

With what strength I have, I extend an arm to press the siri button. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the increasing weakness. Kinda slipped my mind. That's just another thing to add to the 'Oh Shit' list. Great... In seconds Siri pops up and asks: "What Can I Help You With?"

"Siri, call 911."

Jerome's POV

Ryan and I have been dead silent for a while now. After five minutes Ryan finally cooled off and went back to his natural form. I would really like to know what the f*ck just happened! One of my best friends turned into a freaking demon looking thing! How does one even process that!? Do I take him to a church or do I be nostalgic that he has superpowers!? That probably doesn't even count as a superpower unless he can control those flames, but still! I am not equip to handle this crap! My brain is is melting as we speak! This is very unheard of!

"Ryan, you better be glad I'm a good f*cking friend! This shit is creepy..." I shout at my friend, turning back to cool off my burn. As I am doing this, he slides a towel around his now normal, naked body. I almost forgot he was naked. Hey, when you think your friend is on fire you forget all about other thing, that include nudity. Guess that's one way to see your friend naked for the first time. I always though the only way that I would catch him naked is if I found him running around butt naked in the house. It's just the type of person he is.

"I have no idea what just happened..." He mutters. I turn from sink to see a scary sight. Ryan is staring at the floor, visibly shaking. From what I can estimate, I think he may be afraid of himself, or hiding more than he knows. I wont ask to many harsh questions right now to allow him to cool his mind off like his body. I can say that I've never seen him like this before. This is a side to Tewtiy that I've never seen. It's really freaking me out.

"D-dude... I-" I get cut off.

"What am I?" He asks me. I freeze and think for so long, but get nothing. He looks up at me, showing a glimpse of his foggy eyes. Is hey crying? He is really scared.

"I don't know." I say. He looks back down and then walks out of the bathroom. I can hear his door open, close, and lock, meaning he was not coming out anytime soon. What do I even do to help him? My god, please give me something. I am all out of ideas. Should I get help from Mitch or Alex, or someone else at the office? No, cause Ryan would probably get mad at me for telling others about his condition. Maybe I should let him deal with his problems.

I walk out of Ryan's bathroom then to my bedroom. That dizzy feeling I had has gotten worse and there is now very strange pain in very strange places. I am not taking about my d*ck you weirdos, but even stranger places. Fingernail, toenails, eyes, skin, ears, and teeth. Now I am so f*cking confused. What sickness causes vomiting, dizziness, and pains like this? I may need to google this after my nape.

I walk in the room, close the door, get in bed, and throw the cover over me. My phone gets placed on the side table, leaving me to doze off. I need to sleep off the pain to feel better. No one need a doctor, right? Probably not, but I'm gonna try. My body curls up into a ball and I begin to fall asleep, thinking of way I could try and help Tewtiy, not knowing he wasn't the only one with a powerful problem.
