"Annie! Wake up! Paige wants to talk to us." Hayley said jumping on my bed. "Ugh! Fine. I'll be there in 10." I groaned.

After Hayley left my room, I got ready and walked to the kitchen. I saw luggage next to the door.

"Morning Annie Banannie." Paige smiled, giving me my ridiculous nickname. "Morning Paigy! What's with the luggage?" I asked, hopping on the kitchen bar stool.

"I'll explain after breakfast." She said, handing me a plate of toast and eggs. After Hayley and I ate, I took our plates and placed them in the sink.

"Okay, with the luggage, I'm going on an important business trip for a few days. I would've told you girls sooner but I found out last night. Hayley, you're coming with me and Annie you can stay home." Paige explained.

"Where are we going?" Hayley asked curiously. "Australia!" Paige squealed. "WHAT?! You're leaving the content?!" I shouted.

"Just kidding Anns, we're going to Canada." Paige laughed. "If I was leaving the content I would DEFINITELY take the both of you." She explained, letting out another giggle.

I dramatically placed my hand over my heart in a sign of relief. Paige looked down at her watch. "We should probably get going." Paige said.

"Bye! Happy travels!" I smile and waved as the left the apartment. After the door slammed, I was left alone. I sighed and picked up my phone to reveal messages from Hayden.

Hayden- good morning princess
Hayden- annieeeeee
Hayden- pick up your phone!
Hayden- JULIANNA GRACE LEBLANC
Annie- chill hay! im here. what's up?
Hayden- i feel sick
Annie- awe poor hay
Hayden- ik. can you come over?
Annie- ofc
Hayden- and bring your special soup?
Annie- that's the only reason you want me over??
Hayden- NO! I LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOUR SOUP! PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME!
Annie- omg hayden chill. did you just compare me to soup?
Hayden- i mean, you both taste good.
Annie- ...
Hayden- just please come over.
Annie- okie. be there soon

I laughed and grabbed a jacket. I tossed on my comfy ugg boots and walked down the the lobby.

I ring the doorbell and a sick, messy curly hair Hayden opens the door. "Awe you poor thing." I frown pulling him into a tight hug.

"Aren't you scared you're going to get sick?" He asked. I pulled away from the hug. "Nah, I just want to cuddle you." I smiled.

He let me in. "No ones home?" I asked, slightly confused. Who would let Hayden alone when he's sick? "No, my brothers are at work and dad has been having some self issues. I didn't want to disturb him." Hayden sniffed.

"Well, I brought the soup!" I smiled. His eyes lit up. "Yay! You're the best babe." Hayden said, taking the soup. I blushed at what he called me.

"I swear, you're like the best cook ever." Hayden said, with a mouth full of chicken noodle soup. I giggled and kissed his cheek.

After Hayden finished his soup, he started to have a really bad cough. "You should get some sleep. And take some medicine." I said, rubbing his back.

"I'm not sleepy. And I'll go get some medicine." He sneezed. I walked over the couch and sat down.

"The soup really did help by the way." Hayden said coming back from the kitchen. "I'm glad. Now stop moving around so much. It's not good for you." I said, pulling him down next to me.

I threw a blanket over cold bodies and we cuddled. "You're the best." Hayden randomly said. I giggled a bit. "I know." I relied sassy.

We both just talked, cuddling. This is what love feels like. I think.
