A Good Sickness

For me, things had been confusing from the start. My emails with Bram developed over time and before I knew it, I was falling in love with the soul behind those words. He was intelligent, deep and thoughtful and had perfect grammar. But all the while, I had been picturing Cal Price and his cute floppy bangs and beautiful deep blue eyes. So I had kinda fallen in love with Bram's heart and thoughts, but Cal's pale face and his cute mannerisms.

It wasn't like Bram wasn't cute too because the darker-skinned boy was a king. It didn't matter that his eyes were plain brown, like mine. Whenever he smiled, his entire face lit up and sparkled. His eyes were big, beautiful and expressive and his smile sent waves of warmth right to my groin, like one of cupid's arrows. Scratch that thought, because I won't want any arrows near my crotch, but you know what I'm saying. My soccer star boyfriend's lean muscular body was sculpted by the gods, with long thin arms and thin exquisite fingers.

I still remember Bram's words on our first turn on the Ferris wheel, "Are you disappointed it's me?" And at that time and still even now, I could honestly say, "No! Never!" [See Love Simon movie]

Yet, after one month of dating Bram, I found myself thinking of Cal too as I lay on my bed looking through the pictures on my phone. Photos from the drama club with him. Lots of candids with Cal playing piano or helping set up the stage for Cabaret. I also flipped through cute couple photos of Bram and me together. We were so perfect. Why did I feel like I wanted more?

Just then, my phone rang. It was Bram. I answered guiltily, "Hey."

"Hey...," came a woefully sad voice from the other side. "I'm dying...."

I sat up straight, "What?!"

"I feel so sick. My mom is down in Orlando, visiting my aunt, so I need you to please come take care of me!" came his boyfriend's painful plea. [See Love Simon movie for reference to Bram's 'dumb ass aunt.']

"I'm on my way!" I flew out of bed and threw my dark blue gray hoodie on over my maroon hoodie. [See Love Simon movie and picture above!] I grabbed some saltine crackers and Campbell's chicken noodle soup from the kitchen because it was what my mom made for me when I was sick.

The sun had set and it was dark out. Nobody was on the road, so I was knocking on Bram's door within minutes. It opened on its own. He must have left it open for me because he was too sick to get up. So I let myself in and locked the door behind me.

"Bram!" I called. "Where are you?" His house was huge and the boy could be anywhere.

"I'm here!" came a muffled voice from the front lounge.

When I entered, I saw the shape of Bram all curled up on the couch and tucked under a blanket so just the top of his hair was poking out. I laughed in sympathy, "Oh, man! Poor you! You're really out of it."

"My face is falling off," Bram whined, hiding his face in the blanket.

"I'll get you some Kleenex so you don't get snot all over your blanket," I said as I pulled out the can of soup I took with me. "And I brought you some soup to help you feel better. I'll go heat it up for you." 

Bram's hand slid out of under his blanket and he wiggled his fingers for me, and he moaned in a whiny voice, "Noooo... come here. I need you. Hold me."

He was so pitiful, I had to smile. So I moved over to the couch and knelt down in front of my boyfriend, taking his hand. I wrapped my arms around the blanketed figure and hugged him tight. "I'm so sorry you got sick."

Bram pulled me closer and buried his face in my neck.

Oh great, he's going to get me sick too, I thought.
