I'm Here

Chapter 16-Emily

I sniffled and cuddled more into my blanket before I let out another sneeze which hurt my already sore throat even more. I groaned as I reached out to get another tissue from the tissue box on my nightstand.

I leaned up a bit so I could check my messages seeing I had messages from Sophia, Andrew, Luke and Liam, all telling me to get well soon.

I woke up in the middle of the night to a sore throat and it was a pain to go to back to sleep, somehow I managed and now here I am with a stuffy nose and messy hair and still in my pajamas.

I feel like crap and I probably look like it too. I couldn't take James to school cause I don't wanna get him sick or anything so my dad had to take him. Now my dads at work and I'm home alone,

Days like this I wish my mom was still around, she would have taken care of me made me her homemade soup and everything. God I miss her so much.

Luke said he was coming over after school to look after me and Liam said he was gonna pick James up from kindergarten and keep him at his house for a few hours. Sophia said she was coming over later too and she said she's bringing ice-cream.

And Andrew is coming over simply because of the food I have in the fridge, but I knew he was worried about me. I have such great friends.

I decided I should get some rest so I lied on my side and closed my eyes. Just as I was drifting off to dreamland I felt the soup I had earlier coming back up so I shot up and ran to my bathroom and threw up in the toilet, barely making it might I add.

Maybe I'm pregnant. My eyes widened at the thought but then I started laughing which soon turned into coughing.I got my period last week so I can't be pregnant, and not to mention I'm more of a virgin than Virgin Mary.

I weakly stood up and headed towards my room. To get some sleep. I woke to people talking near my bed, and since I'm home alone and paranoid I immediately thought there were burglars in my house. I kept my eyes close and was more awake than before, just as I was creating my secret plan to escape I heard a familiar voice.

Liams. I opened my eyes to see his incredible blue-gray eyes staring into my plain brown ones, "Good morning." He smiled cheekily Sophia I assume smacked him in the back of the head "It's the afternoon idiot."

"Who says good afternoon to someone when they just wake up? That's like saying 'goodnight here is your morning breakfast'." Liam said sarcastically before looking back down at me smiling. Basically I'm on my side and Liam is staring directly at me.

"Where's Luke?" I questioned sitting up and rubbing my eyes before coughing from the corner of my eye I saw Liam's smile falter just a bit, I wonder what that was about.

"Uh he went to go get you some soup from your favorite Chinese place." Liam said putting his hands in his pockets, aww that's so sweet of him. I smiled to myself before looking at everyone before feeling as though something, or should I say someone, is missing.

I looked at Sophia, Andrew and Liam trying to see who I am forgetting. Then it hit, "Liam where is James?" I asked him worried he looked at me and smiled reassuringly "He's still with my mom and dad, my mom insisted that he stay at our place for awhile cause she doesn't want him getting sick."

I breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way Em? You look like shit." Andrew commented chuckling "I feel like it too." I groaned, where is Luke with my soup?

I got out of bed to use the bathroom considering I've been sleeping for more than three hours I needed to realize my bladder. Once I got up I froze in my place once a thought dawned on me

I slowly faced the three idiots that are in my house "How exactly did you idiots get in my house?" I questioned squinting my eyes at them

"Well first of all if you're trying to sound tough, your stuffed up nose is not helping you, and second Sophia has a key." Liam said casually as he made himself comfortable on my bed, took his shoes off and everything.

I faced Sophia and she help up a replica of my key "How did you get that?" I asked wiping my nose at the end of my question "Oh this? Yeah me and Andrew had them made." She told me smiling. That should surprise me but it doesn't which is saying something about my choice of friends, meaning they've done weirder things than getting a key made of my house.

"Why am I not surprised?" I muttered audibly before leaving my room to use the bathroom.
