                              Yuck!
   This week is not going my way. I was fine one day then I wake up with a cold and a pounding headache. This sucks cause I have to stay out of  school for probably a week. I don't wanna miss out and make up my school work. Mommy and daddy couldn't stay with me because they both had to work. I was fine with that cause I can take care of myself.

    Daddy already left but mommy was still here to cook soup and get the medicine. That's all she could do because she's leaving for work soon.

   After she gathered everything I needed she sat on my side and felt my head.

"Oh sweetheart do you think you can handle it by yourself? I don't have to go to work. Do you want me to cancel so I can stay with you?"
"No mommy I have everything I need."
"Aww sweetie I don't wanna leave yo-" she stopped mid sentence when her phone rings.
"Hello?
Oh hello Robert
Can Riley what?
Can he come over after school?
Oh I'd love to but he can't.
Jazmine is sick too.
Yeah she's not feeling good either.im letting her stay home.
Yeah both of them at the same time.
I don't know they probably got it from school. You know kids and germs these days."
"Mommy what's going on?" I asked concerned.

She placed her hand over the speaker of the phone.
"Huey's sick and Mr.freeman doesn't want Riley to catch it.."
I don't understand how we both got sick but I was so excited. This is the first step. We can feel better together. This is great.
"Wait. Mommy why doesn't he bring Huey here?"
"What?"
"Bring him here. We can be sick together and watch tv. My bed is big enough."
"Um I don't know Jazmine."
"Please mommy? He can keep me company. PleasePleasePlease? I don't wanna be by myself,"
"Ok but let me ask Robert." She proceeded to finish her phone call.
"Hey Robert.
Jazmine thinks instead you should bring Huey here.
I have soup,meds and everything else they need here.
Sure just bring him over
Alright I have the door unlocked" she said as she hung up the phone.

     After a couple of minutes Mr.freeman carried a sleeping Huey in his arms. He laid him down next to me on my bed. Then he tucked him in. He told me to watch after Huey and left before mommy came back.

"Ok baby you two have fun. I'll be back this afternoon and Daddy will call you during lunch ok."
"Alright mommy have fun at work." then she left.

Huey's eyelids fluttered opened. He scanned the room to see where he was. Then his eyes finally landed on me. When he saw me he gave me a dirty look.

"What the hell am I doing here? Did you kidnap me?"
"What? No. I'm sick too and Mr. Freeman didn't want you spreading germs so he brought you here with me."

He rolled his eyes and turned on his back to stare at the ceiling.

"We can watch movies on hbo. Mulan is playing."
He scoffed
"I have medicine and tissues we can use. I can plug in my vicks warm mist humidifier. My mommy made enough soup for the both of us."
"What kind?"
"Vegetable."
"Can I have some?"

Huey was an absolute baby when he's sick. He acted like he was dying. You would've thought he had the black plaque or something. HE HAD A SIMPLE COLD!! He had so many orders and so many demands.
Every minute it's "Jazmine go get that." "Jazmine go get this."  "I need this" "Bring me some juice" "I want soup."  "My throat hurts" or "I can't swallow." Helpless.

      Ugh!
I even had to feed him like a infant.

  I was waiting on him hand and foot. Never mind that I wasn't feeling well either. I was so busy catering to Huey I almost fainted in my kitchen making tea for him. I didn't even nurse my own cold.

   After fetching king huey his orange juice I climbed back into my bed. He hardly notices I was in the room till I handed him the cup. He took it and looked at it with disgust.
"Jazmine what is this?"
"It's orange juice. Isn't that what you wanted?"
"No it's not it's sunny D. I told you to bring  apple juice Jazmine."
"Well sorry it was a honest mistake."
"How the hell did you confuse apple for orange? It's not even orange juice. It's an orange flavored drink. It's a juice cocktail. Sugar and corn syrup." He started to become angry and he began to raise his voice. "What have I told about this bullshit? DO YOU WANT ME TO DRINK WHITE MANS POISON?!"
"I don't..."
"I TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT COULD KILL YOU!"
"Well I'm sorry I'll get you something else.."
"You only had one job Jazmine. JUST ONE! You couldn't even do that simple task."
     I felt my eyes begin to water. I've seen him angry and I've seen him yell but he's never yelled at me like this.
"You better not start that crying either."
