Sweet Pea POV:

I woke up to the calming silence of Betty sleeping. All night she had been wiggling around. She's definitely got the flu. I hope she gets well soon.

I get out of bed and as soon as I do that she wakes up and tries to get out of bed. I rush to her side and sit her down.

Sweet Pea: baby you're sick. You have to stay home. I say while placing my hand on her forehead. She was burning.
Betty: but Pea- I cut her off
Sweet Pea: home. I say in a louder tone.

I know this wasn't going to be easy getting her to stay home. The only thing she loves more then school is me. I can't believe I get to say that.

Betty: Pea. She tried saying louder and pouting at me. I grin at the way she's trying to get her way.
Sweet Pea: baby I want you to get better. You're not going to school today, maybe tomorrow. She pulls the blanket over her head and groans. I laugh at her childishness.

Sweet Pea: I'm going downstairs, you stay here. Do you want anything to eat? I ask her. She shakes her head under the blankets and I walk downstairs.

I make myself some breakfast and take a seat at the kitchen table. Joaquin soon drags himself out of bed and takes out a breakfast bar from the cupboard.

Joaquin: where's Betty? He asked me.
Sweet Pea: she's in bed. She's sick, I'm making her stay home. He chuckles.
Joaquin: you're telling me she actually listens to you? Woah, she must really love you.

I smile widely at his words. How can I not? Her love for me is so strong. I don't deserve that perfection she gives me. She deserves all my heart and more.

Joaquin: she's turned you soft. He says with a chuckle.
Sweet Pea: me, never. I say confidently. Joaquin laughs at me.
Joaquin: she has you wrapped around her finger. You'd do anything she says. He says with a laugh.

I think about what he said. He's right. I can't believe he's right. I would do anything for her. She could tell me to jump of a cliff and I think I would do it. She could even tell me she wants me to run to Australia and back and I would, I mean you technically can't run the whole way but I could swim. She has both me and Joaquin wrapped around her finger. She's definitely sneaky.

Just before we leave I head back up to Betty's room just to say goodbye and make sure she's still actually in bed. This is probably torture for her, where as if this was me I would be insisting on staying home.

Sweet Pea: are you going to be ok? I ask her.
Betty: I'll be fine. She says with a half smile.

I went to place a quick peck on her lips but she pushed me away. I gave her a confused look.

Betty: you'll get sick. She says worriedly. I laugh. How cute can she get?
Sweet Pea: this is worth getting sick for.

I place a soft kiss on her lips. Although she was sick her lips still tasted so good.

I pull away and head to school with Joaquin.

As soon as we arrived into the student lounge Toni asked us where Betty was.

Toni: where's Betty? She quizzes me.
Sweet Pea: nice to see you too. she's sick and staying home today. I inform her.
Toni: now I'm stuck with you idiots today. She says while rolling her eyes.
Joaquin: how does Betty put up with you? He mumbled while raising an eyebrow.
Toni: how does she live with you? She mumbled
Sweet Pea: you guys are both so petty. I say.

Betty POV:

It was about 8:45 am and school would be starting right about now. But I'm stuck in bed since Sweet Pea wouldn't let me go.
