Well today went really good. I was now just sitting in my room, feeling slightly sick. Yay.

My throat hurts and my head is killing me. I'm just laying in my bed watching 'Finding Carter' on my tv.

I picked up my phone to see it was only 9:00, so I called Luke.

"Hey" my now raspy voice said into the phone.

"Hey, miss me already?" I could tell he was smirking.

"Nope. I just wanted you to bring me ice cream, movies, and Advil. Can you?" I asked, hoping he would bring them.

"Of course I will. Are you getting sick? God Liz I told you to wear a thicker jacket!" He said in a 'I told you so' tone.

"Yeah yeah just get over here." I said before hanging up.

After about 30 minutes I heard the door open and close. Luke walked over to my room with a Walmart bag in his hands.

"Hey Lizzy, how are you feeling?" he said, still standing in the door way of my room.

"Ehh little like shit." I smirked.

"Awe, well let me go get some spoons." he left, walking to the kitchen.

After about a minute I got confused. It doesn't take that long to get a spoon.

I get up and walk over to the kitchen to see Luke reading the letter my mom left me.

I saw sympathy in his eyes as he looked up.

"Oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have read that." he said, putting the letter back down as his cheeks reddened.

"No, no it's okay." I said, tears brining my eyes.

"Awe no Lizzy it's okay." he said, pulling me into a hug.

"I just miss her, I never see her anymore." I said into his chest, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Come on, let's eat this ice cream and watch mean girls." he said tugging my arm into my room.

We plopped down on my bed, each with a tub of ice cream.

"Hit play." I said, as he grabbed the remote.

"I want a gay friend like Damien!" I tried to say loudly, but my voice just cracked and made a weird noise at the end.

Luke just laughed at how I sounded.

"Kady can be a bitch but she's hot." Luke said, pointing to the screen.

"Ehh, I would totally go gay for Gretchen." I chuckled.

"Here let me get you your Advil," he said getting up "it should bring the head ache down."

He walked back into my room with a tall glass of water and the blue gel pill "Here, maybe it will knock the fever down." he said, handing me the items.

"Thanks, for everything. You're a great friend." I said swallowing the pill and taking a gulp from my water.

He just smiled and said "No problem. Here let's watch season 4 of Pretty Little Lairs. I know it's your favorite and plus you got me hooked." he sat up and slid the disk into my laptop.

We got to about episode 5 before I started to get tired. I just kinda drifted off to sleep.

The next morning I woke up still feeling slightly sick, okay not slightly, even worse. I looked at my clock to see it was 6:30.

Shit.

Me and Luke where sprawled out on the bed. It was kind of funny. We where onto of each other, kinda like how puppy's sleep.

Anyways it was Monday and I had school. I tapped Luke on the nose and he opened one eye.

"What. Let me sleep."

"No, we have school. Go home and get dressed it's 6:30 school starts at 8!"

"Shit" he mumbled under his breath "how are you feeling?"

"Umm like the first word in that sentence. Like shit. Maybe even worse." I said, rubbing my nose.

"Well stay home today. I'll be back later to check in."

"Okay, I won't argue. Will you be okay?"

"Yeah I'll be fine, I met this guy named Ty, he's really nice. We have every class together, he's my friend I guess."

"Oh okay that's good." I said with a smile on my face.

"Well I gotta go. But I'll miss the bus by the time I get home. Can I use your car? I'll give you the gas money."

"Yeah, use it. I won't be going anywhere today. And don't worry about paying me back." I said, handing him my keys.

"Thanks. Uhh, get better." he said, before walking out the door.

Well it was early and I was still tired. I just got comfortable and drifted back off to sleep.

When I woke up again it was about 10:00. I walked over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I was still wearing my jeans and sweater. Oops. I walked over to my dresser and put on some leggings and an oversized t shirt.

I walked over to the kitchen and ate some fruit. What? It's good for you, and I need the vitamin D. I'm sick so.

I crawled back into bed and turned on Pretty Little Lairs so I could finish it. The whole time I was thinking.

Why can't I have a teacher as hot as Ezra?

After a couple hours of that, I still had like 8 more episodes to watch one this season. It was about 2:00. Hmm. Luke should be here, by now. I didn't want to get to worried but my finger hovered over the calm button.

Suddenly I got a text for an unknown number

Don't worry about Luke

-A

What. the. Fuck.

I looked around to see if anyone was there before the door swung open. I grabbed the lamp by my bed and walked towards the door.

"Boo!" Luke jumped out, me screaming, well trying. It just made my throat hurt.

"Here" he said handing me a cup "it's from the coffee shop down the street, it's a honey chai tea. It good when your sick."

"Thanks." I breathed out.

"Oh and the text was me. I saw you through the window. You should really close your blinds." he laughed, sipping from his cup.

"How's the drink."

"Mmm." I said sipping my cup. "It kinda taste like Christmas. But it's really good. A new favorite."

I held the warm cup in my hands and studied Luke. "How was school?"

"Uhh school." he said, looking up at me. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay I guess. Not really. I think I'll just take the week off sense we have Thursday and Friday off and Wednesday is a half day, no point in going for a day and a half." I said, sipping again from my warm drink.

"Want me to take off with you? I don't want you to be alone. I worry about you, you're a pretty girl, alone. And I think your neighbor is a creep." he said chuckling at the end.

"If you want, I don't care. I just watch tv."

"Well then I say I will stay with you." he said smiling "How bout that?"
