The next morning rolled around and Jack woke up first. He gently removed himself from Zach and headed to the bathroom. He used it and then stood in front of the mirror. He just looked at himself. Not in a narcissistic way but in a way where he just happened to find everything wrong with himself.

He snapped out of it when he heard coughing coming from the other room. He frowned and walked into Zach's bedroom. He walked in to see Zach sitting up in the bed hacking his lungs out.

Jack watched as the boy stopped and ran his fingers over his jaw. Jack walked over and sat on the edge of the bed next to Zach. He reached over and pulled the boy to him. Zach complied and sat on Jack's lap, straddling him. He leaned his head on Jack's shoulder.

Jack felt his forehead, cheeks, and then neck. "Baby you're burning up."

Zach just whimpered in response and wrapped his arms around Jack. Jack rubbed his back and pressed a kiss to the side of Zach's head. Zach sniffles and tried to clear his throat although he stopped when it caused him pain.

"I don't feel good bubba." Zach's voice was raspy and hoarse. He was quiet and his voice came out in a whisper.

"I know love. What hurts?" Jack kept running his hands up and down Zach's back in a soothing manner. 

"Everything. My throat, my head, my body. It all just hurts." Zach pulled back from Jack and turned away as he let out a sneeze followed by another one. He grabbed a tissue from his bed side table and wiped his nose. He put it in the garbage and turned back to Jack.

"I'm taking you to the doctors to make sure you don't have anything to bad." Jack set Zach on the bed next to him and stood up. He stuck his hands out and Zach grabbed them. He pulled him up and Zach immediately leaned against him. "C'mon love you have to put pants on before we can leave."

Zach quietly groaned and slowly walked over to his closet. He grabbed a pair of sweatpants and slipped them on. He kept the hoodie, that he was already wearing, on. He grabbed a pair of socks and put them on before slipping on his checkered Vans. He pulled his hood up and grabbed his backpack and keys.

"I'm ready." Zach looked at Jack who was ready as well and standing at the door. Zach followed him down the steps. Jack walked into the kitchen and filled Zach's water bottle with cold water and handed it to him. Zach thanked him and took a sip. He handed his keys to Jack. "Could you drive?"

"Of course. Let's go." Jack took the keys and went to the garage. He locked the door and unlocked the car. They both got in and Jack started the car. He pulled out of the driveway and down the street as Zach leaned against the window with his eyes closed.

Zach was in the middle of a coughing fit when his phone rang. He answered it and pulled it away from his ear when someone immediately started yelling in his ear.

"Oh my god Zach are you with Jack right now? What am I even sayin of course you are. Go to radio station 98.2!" Junipers voice was excited as he reached over and turned the radio up and put it on that station. A large smile turned on his face when Jack's new song started playing. Zach looked over at Jack to see that he was almost in tears. He had a radiant smile on his face. Zach even had a smile on his face.

Zach noticed that Juniper hung up so he opened Snapchat and recorded Jack. Jack was dancing and singing along to his song, while driving safely of course. The video Zach recorded was only about twenty seconds long. He captioned it 'guess what just came on the radio 💛'. He saved it before posting it.
