DRAMA

4

 John sat in the nurse's main office, where she helped students. She took John's temperature and the. Wrapped him in a blanket which he nearly melted into.

"John. How many times have I seen you this week?" The nurse asked.

"T-T-Th-Three."

"And what's today?"

The room went silent.

"T-T-Tuesday."

The nurse sighed and looked at John. "John. You need to be more careful!"

"I-I know." John hung his head.

"I'm gonna call your dad to pick you up." The nurse said turning to the phone.

"D-Do you ha-have to?" John shivered.

"Yes John. You ask me every time." The nurse picked up the phone.

John slunk back down and watched as the nurse called his father. Great.

"Hello, Mr. Laurens? It's your son." The nurse spoke calmly.

The nurse got a bit tense when he replied but calmed herself down still speaking calmly.

"No. He did not start a fight this time. Though, he has to be taken home. His temperature has dropped very low and he may need to stay home for a day or two." The nurse spoke into the phone.

Everything else was drowned out by the now ringing in John's head. Why did it hurt this much?

"John? Can you wait for your father out there?" The nurse asked after she finished the call.

John just nodded, got up, and stumbled out of the nurse's main office. Alexander was there, waiting in the waiting area. He had looked away from a conversation he was having with Eliza. John stumbled over and sat down in the chair next to Alex. Alex pulled John, somewhat, into his lap and hugged him tightly. John's head was spinny. John leaned his head on Alex. Alex pulled out John's phone and texted Hercules and Lafayette, knowing they'd be of help.

Gay Turtle: Hey, Alexander here, can one of you help me? John has to leave early.

Frenchfry: Okay. I made a distraction, Herc, you get John's things. You remember his locker code and number, right?

Horsefuxker: Why wouldn't I? Also, Alex, tell us your number and we'll add you.

Gay Turtle: I'll send it after John is okay.

Frenchfry: Kay.

Horsefuxker: I'm heading out, Thanks Lafayette. I'm gonna ask Paine for a video of what you did.

Frenchfry: No you will not!

The chat when silent. Ten minutes past when Hercules came into the nurse's office and marched over to Alex and John and dropped John's backpack with all his stuff neatly tucked in, in it. Alex was a little shocked in honesty but gave Hercules a smile as he started to leave.

"Thanks Hercules." Alex smiled.

"No problem Alexander." Hercules shot back.

John has closed his eyes and started to drift into a dream like state till the nurse's office door shot open and so did John's eyes. His eyes darted toward the door and he clenched Alex's shirt tightly. No. A tall adult figure stood at the doorway and the nurse looked out and tended a little.

"Mr Laurens! You're here! Your son is over there. That kind young man, Alexander, has stayed with him the whole time." The nurse showed a fake smile.

"John. Can we get going?" Home. Laurens looked over at John whom had already started up and grabbed his stuff.

John was very shaky and it felt like he was trudging toward his father. Once near Mr. Laurens put his hand gently on John's shoulder and shot a slight smiled at the nurse before taking John out of the room and soon, out of school. John was shivering the whole time but knew he had to go just to feel better. But John missed Alex. He missed his warmth and love. Wait, was he falling for Alex?

A/N- This situation John is in (at least till the end in a way) I, nor do I think any of my friends, have gone through. Though, the last part about missing and feeling like he's falling for them just by clinging to them for a while, that's happened to me.
