This Old Town ✖️Muke

Chapter 12

(Luke)

"-uke! Luke! wake up!" I'm shaken awake and for a moment when my eyes snap open i don't know where I am. But as soon as the searing pain hits my body i don't care anymore, all i can feel is the pain.

"Luke!" I can hear Michael shout and shake me again. I groan he is just making me feel like i'm going to puke. I manage to open my eyes and look up into is terrified face.

"what?" i croak.

"Luke are you ok?" he asks frantically. 

"no" i moan, struggling to sit up but he gently pushes me back down.

"whats going on?" i ask.

"i don't know i woke up and came to get you and you look like your running a fever." 

"fever? but i felt fine yesterday?" i ask. he shrugs.

"I don't know either. stay here ill be right back i'm going to get cold water from the river." he says then jumps up and runs off.  i groan and roll over in pain, what's happening? my whole body hurts and i'm sweating? maybe i do have a fever? I shakily manage to pull myself into a seated position. why do i feel so weak and shaky? I stare at my hands that wont be still until i hear Michael running back.

"Luke! why are you up?" he asks. falling down next to me and pulling his shirt off. if i wasn't feeling like i was dying i would be enjoying this view.

"i'm OK, just shaky and nauseous, my whole body hurts-" i manage to tell him as he soaks his shirt and rings it out before placing it to my forehead. the cold water gives me quick relief for only a moment before i'm leaning over and emptying my stomach. 

"Ok shit what the hell is happening?! what do i do?" he stresses, gripping his hair.

"john" i manage to get out between my reaching.  

"right! yes, where the hell did i put the radio!" he rants to himself. he must find the radio because the next time i hear his voice he is shouting for John.

"Michael? whats going on?" It's  Calum that replies, sounding scared and confused. i groan.

"Cal? wheres john?" Michael asks frantically. 

"i don't know, Michael what the hell is happening? are you hurt?" 

"no you need to get John now!"i hear him beg.

"ok, ok. he's talking with a client can it wait?"

"no!" he shouts.

"ok, hold on Mikey,"

"please hurry!" he begs again. I don't know who is more scared at the moment him or me. I've never had this happen to me but neither has he i'm guessing.

"Michael?" its not long Till Uncle Johns voice is hear over the talkie.

"John!" Michael shouts in relief.

"whats wrong Mikey?" he asks calmly. 

"Luke! somethings wrong. I don't know what happened, he was fine when we went to bed but this morning he's running a fever and shaking and hes throwing up and i dint know what to do!" he rambles off. 

"slow down Michael. whats wrong with Luke?" John asks, probably sensing that something is wrong and Michael is panicking.

"He feels like hes running a fever, hes sweating and shaking and he threw up, he says that his whole body hurts. Uncle john what is going on?" Michael asks sounding scared, he's pacing back and forth in front of me. I've finally stopped puking and can pay attention to what they are saying.
