"Hello?" I bring the phone to my ear after seeing it's a call from Justyce's school.

"Hi, Ms. Jinsui?"

"Yes?"

"I'm calling to let you know that Justyce is here in the nurse's office and she's running a fever of 104.3. Would you be able to come pick her up?"

"Yeah, I'm on my way."

Before she can answer, I bring the phone from my ear and press the red end call button.

"Everything good?" My dad asks.

I'd finished up my shoot about twenty minutes ago and I decided to chill with my dad before I have to leave, and it turns out I'm leaving earlier than we'd both expected me to.

"Yeah, the school just called and said Justyce has a fever and needs me to get her."

"Well go head and get her." He says getting up, as I do the same. "You have some medicine at the house for her to take?"

"Yeah."

"Alright then baby girl, call me later and let me know how she's doing."

"Will do."

I give him a hug and grab my things, heading out of the door. Once I get into the car, I put my purse in the passenger's seat and unlock my phone.

I call Juan and put it on speaker, waiting for him to answer. While doing so, I start the car and pull off from the driveway, driving off towards Justyce's school. He doesn't answer, so I hang up and send him a text instead, letting him know that I was going to get Justyce from school.

Once I get to the school, I park the car and walk inside. I have to sign in, so I do so before walking in into the nurse's office.

"Good to see you Ms. Jinsui. Justyce is over there sleeping." She points to the sofa in the corner of the office.

I walk over there and slowly begin to wake her up. Once she does so, she just looks at me and leans forward to lie her head on my leg.

"Just to inform you, before you got here she seems to have been having some respiratory issues, so make sure she sleeps on her back if she falls asleep again." The nurse explains to me. "And since she has a severe fever, if it remains for longer than two or three days after taking medicine, I advise you to bing her to the ER."

"Okay, Thank you so much."

"No problem."

I look down at Justyce, careful not to make her fall if I move, and lean over a bit make sure she's awake.

"Come on baby."

"We leaving?" She gets up and looks at me.

"Yeah you sick you can't stay at school."
