Being Sick

Elena POV

I had a great time with my family, we even spent a few days at the lake house. However Jeremy thought it was a good idea to throw me into the freezing water and surprise surprise I have a cold. Jeremy was punished because of that because on the plane back to college I kept on sneezing and coughing. 

Even though I told Caroline and Bonnie to find other seats so they don't get sick, they kept on insisting on staying next to me so I won't be alone. When I arrived we hired a cab and arrived into our dorms. When I opened the door I found Damon sitting on the sofa. I went to touch his face when he opened his eyes.

Elena: Did I wake you?

Damon: No no. It's good to have you back. Come here!

*Elena goes in his embrace and hugs him.*

Elena: When did you arrive?

Damon: A couple of hours ago.

Damon was going to kiss Elena but stops him.

Damon: Why did you stop? Is there something wrong?

Elena: Yes I am sick and I don't want you to get sick as well. 

Damon: Oh you gave me a fright just now. But I can do this *kiss her forehead* and this *kisses her cheek and tickles her*

Elena: Damon stop!

Damon: Ok I am. How did you get sick anyways?

Elena: Well my family spend a couple of days in a house we have next to a lake and my genius of a  brother decided it was a brilliant idea to throw me in the freezing cold water!! How nice of him.

Damon: Ooohhh that is bad. That is nothing compared what I used to do to Stefan. One time I thought it was a good idea to throw a ball straight into Stefan's face.... he ended up with a black eye and another time I when he was still going down the stairs I pushed him and he ended up with his hands broken...

Elena: Damon! You are such a cruel brother!

Damon: Listen I didn't tell my parents not even Stefan about us. I think we should wait before we tell our parents.

Elena: I agree and I didn't even tell mine. I only told Caroline and Bonnie. Caroline was waiting for it to happen. 

Damon: Really?!

Elena: We should invite both of our parents here someday and have dinner and tell them what do you think?

Damon: Good idea I like it!

Elena starts coughing so Damon carries her to her bed. He helps her change in her pajamas and tucks her in bed. 

Elena: Damon I am not that sick!

Damon: Oh really? You keep coughing and your eyes and nose are red like Rudolph's. Let me check your temperature. 

Damon checked her temperature and finds out that Elena had a fever so he put a wet cloth on her forehead and decided to make her some soup so she can feel better.   

Damon POV

I checked on Elena while the soup was cooking and saw her fast asleep. I changed the cloth. Her forehead was still burning. I heard her talking in her sleep so I decided it was a good idea to film her and show it to her when she wakes up. I went to check on the soup and it was done.

I took a shower and in the mean time the soup cooled down. Afterwards I went in her room and gently woke her up. 

Elena: *half asleep* Why did you wake me? 

Damon: I made you some chicken soup, it will help you to get better! Eat up.

*Elena ate some of the soup but didn't finish it all.*

Damon: I am going to do to the pharmacy to but you some medicine. Will you be ok or do you need me next to call Bonnie or Caroline?

Elena: No no it's fine! Drive safely ok. *goes back to sleep*

I went to the store , it was raining heavily but thankfully I brought an umbrella with me. 

Pharmacist: Hello how may I help you?

Damon: Hello my girlfriend is sick with a fever. What can I buy to make her feel better?

She gave me the medicine and told me when she takes it. I thanked her and left. The rain slowed down a it. When I arrived home I went in Elena's bedroom with the medicine and a glass of water so when she she wakes up she takes them. I didn't want to wake her up again as I already did once to give her the soup. 

I scrolled through my phone while Elena slept. I didn't stay next to her so I won't catch the cold so I stayed on her study table. She is so organised unlike me! Suddenly I hear her calling me I went next to her.

Damon: How do you feel?

Elena: A little bit better?

Damon: Here take these pills they will help you get better. 

Elena: Thank you for taking care of me.

Damon: Of course after all I am your boyfriend!

Afterwards Elena slept until morning and I watched a movie on my own on the sofa.
