Cameron POV

"Hello.. hi it's Cameron Jackson." I speak hoarsely into my phone.

"Oh, hi! Goodmorning Cameron, are you feeling okay?"

"No, um," I cough, "that's actually why I'm calling. I woke up with a terrible cold and I won't be able to come into work today." I say and I know it was barely audible because my voice kept going in and out.

"I'm sorry to hear that Cameron. And that's fine, thank you for informing us. You stay home and feel better, okay?"

"Thank you, bye bye." I say and hang up. I throw my phone to the side and cover my head with my blanket until I remember that I still have to take the kids to school. I groan and sit up in my bed.

This morning I woke up feeling terrible. I don't know what happened overnight but it's got me feeling like garbage. I can barely breath, my throat is sore, I'm hoarse and can barely speak, my nose keeps running and is this super bright red color. I look and feel the worst!

With some effort I get out of my bed and put socks and slippers on. I grab my big coat and walk out of my room and see Taleah and Aj sitting on the couch waiting for me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make breakfast guys... I didn't wake up in time. We'll drive by McDonald's."

"Papa, what happened to you? You look terrible." Leah asks.

"I know, I woke up with a bad cold. But it's nothing it'll go away. You guys are gonna be late though, let's go."

I grab my keys and rush out of the apartment. When we get in the car, I quickly drive to McDonald's and pick the kids up some breakfast, then speed drive to their school.

"Alright you guys, have a good day. I love you guys."

"Love you too papa, see you." Taleah attempts to kiss me but I shake my head.

"No, I don't want you to get sick." I blow her a kiss instead and she smiles and gets out of the car.

Aj gets out as well. "Feel better," He says.

"Thank you honey."

I make sure they safely walk into the school building then drive back home. I can't even go run errands like I would normally do on a day off because all I want to do at the moment is lay in my bed and drown in my own sorrow.

I reach back at my apartment and sigh. A huge sigh. I get a blanket from my room and make myself some tea to sit in my living room and watch the news. But, it started getting boring after like two minutes so I flipped to a movie channel and watched whatever movie that was showing. I could barely pay attention to it though because I kept interrupting myself with sneezes and coughs and wheezes. The whole run around.

My phone starts buzzing and when I look at my phone to see who it is, I'm shocked to see that Giovanni is calling me. What could he be calling me for at this time in the morning? Shouldn't he be working?

I answer, "Hello?"

"Hey Cameron, I was just calling to check in if you're okay. I got the message that I'll be covering some of your classes today. You feeling alright?"
