Sick Day

Chuck's pov

I woke up in my hammock, feeling all groggy and my head felt heavy. Looking up I could see the bright blue sky , with fluffy white clouds floating in the distance. It had rained here yesterday, which it hardly ever does, me and Jake spent ages outside. I closed my eyes, reliving all the memories from yesterday, us getting soaked to the bone, Newt, Minho, Nick, Alby, and Gally yelling at to come inside, then spending the rest of the day trying to warm up with the keepers and medjacks covering us with warm blankets and having hot tea. Opening my eyes I looked to my left to see a vacant hammock where Jake should be. Where is he? Normally he and I sleep in until Nick or Alby threaten to pour cold water on us.

I tried to sit up, but that is very hard to do in a hammock and it flipped, sending me flying towards the ground, landing on my back, glorious way to start the day. I was able to drag myself off the ground and started to walk in the direction of the kitchen to get food. Why do I feel so weird? I thought to myself. (A/N Remember due to memory wipe they can't remember anything besides their names). I felt a little light headed, and my nose was stuffy. I entered the kitchen sitting area, the first thing that caught my eye before I sat down was the folded pile of blankets from yesterday, second thing was few people had shown up, Frypan was still cooking, Woah we are usually the last here. I sat down on one of the benches and put my head in my hands, Man, I feel as hot as the sun, but nothing seemed to answer the question of what is happening to me.

I heard footsteps approaching the kitchen, that must be the keepers who always get served first. I heard two or three people sitting down at my table. I heard them talking rather quietly. I didn't pick up much but I heard the words "sick' and "Jake" murmured a couple times. I picked my head up a little bit, which in doing so caught Minho's and Newt's attention. Why is it always those two? I thought, Clifhook the keeper of the sloppers tapped me on the shoulder. (Idk who the keeper of the slopper is but lets pretend okay?)

" Jake has a cold today, so he has been ordered bed rest" He exclaimed.

"What's a cold?" I asked, my voice all scratchy. My throat feels like it is on fire trying, every time swallow it burns.

"oh it is when your sick and you feel like klunk." He answered me back and started to walk away. Thanks yep I definitely have a lot of questions but don't bother asking me.

I started to get up from my seat, I really wasn't hungry enough to eat. The hand on my forearm stopped me from getting up any further. Minho held my arms in a tight grip and slowly guided to my seat on his lap..um okay.. then. I felt Newt put the back of his hand up to my forehead, hearing him sigh in a kinda sympathetic and disappointed way he stood up. I got up from Minho's lap and then he did too. I once again began walking out to the kitchen sitting area. Suddenly two arms were hooked underneath mine, pulling me gently in the direction of, from what I could see was the medjack hut.

As we entered the hut, they let go, and intern blocking my exit. I could see on the makeshift hospital bed Jake was asleep, with a basin of water on the little bedside table beside him, but the awkwardness of the room wouldn't be completed without Gally sitting on the stool beside him, yeps that normal.

"Why is everything somewhat normal, and then suddenly when Jakey isn't staying with Gally and Alby or when Chucky isn't staying with Me and Minho they both get a cold." Newt asked no one, crossing his arms.

"Yeah same I don't know what led both of them to get sick at the same time- wait I think I know what might've." Minho answered himself.

"What?" Jeff, one of the mad jacks that just entered the hut. "He is sick too?" He asked, pointing to me.

"Yep, the same Jake, I think, I also think next time it rains we keep both boys inside.' Newt answered him.

They keep talking as if I am not here, "Wait! What do you mean by sick? Is that why I feel so bad?" I asked, everyone's attention in the room turned to me, well besides Jake's of course.

"Oh, right you haven't been sick yet in the glade." Newt exclaimed.

"Thank you professor genius, now answer my questions." I answered back, now sitting on the other sick bed.

"Geez no matter how sick either of you get your both still really cheeky." Minho said sitting now behind me on a stool.

"So you see, Chucky there are these things called germs around, you two went to clean up the bathrooms after being in the rain for hours. Some germs are easier to pick up in cold weather and since you guys were still cold, even after us trying to warm you two up, the germs probably had more of an effect. Normally cleaning the bathrooms wouldn't make you two ill, but since we really dont have the best sanitization methods, it happens sometimes." Newt explained.

" and that is another reason why we told you to STAY INSIDE!" Minho said ehampizing a couple words.

"Go it." I said, starting to feel a little light headed again, I layed down in the bed.

Jeff leaned down beside me and put a little plastic cup of some type of dark liquid on the little bedside table. Now crouching down beside me, he held the small cup, while Minho helped me sit up. "Here drink this it will help you feel better." Jeff said gently to me, which is usually nice until they are about to give you a shot. I drinked it and layed back down.

"That tasted good. What was it." I asked.

"uh..cherry cough syrup, most people before the grape one but okay." Jeff seid walking away.

I however sat up and started to cough, uhh kill me now. Newt took a blanket and extra pillow and lay down with it. Rubbing calming circles on my arm.
