*Sam's POV*
My body ached and I felt like if I made any sudden movements, I would throw up and never stop. I couldn't even sit up without feeling like I was dying slowly by the second. The thought of having to film a video made me want to quit YouTube all together, but the was just the illness talking.
My bedroom door opened to reveal my Bestfriend. His dark hair pressed against his forehead, most likely from just waking up, and his eyes squinted from the exposure of light.
"You ready to film today?" He asked with his soothing deep voice that I have come to love. He smiled over at me and I couldn't help but to smile back, even though I felt like doing the opposite.
"Of course." My voice was hoarse and scratchy from the soreness that had developed in my throat. I cringed at the feeling of speaking and Colby gave me a questioning look.
If Colby found out I was sick, he would immediately want to take care of me. Not that I was complaining because I love him, but he doesn't know that. Sometimes when he's around me for a long period of time I find myself staring at him more.
He's never noticed, but I'm definitely not risking it. I got out of bed and I felt my knees become weak. I put my hand against the wall for support and walked to the door. I startled myself when I looked in the mirror because of how pale I was. I looked like I would drop at any second and I felt like it too.
I walked downstairs and Colby immediately looked at me with shock. I sighed and sat beside him at the kitchen counter.
"You don't look good, Sam. Are you alright to film today." He asked me. I nodded and rubbed my eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine. We need to start filming now anyway." I said as I went toward the backyard. We had decided on filming a truth or strip video, which I regret now. The thought of being in the cold water with no clothes on made me cringe.
We stepped into the pool and I immediately felt light headed. I gripped the side in an attempt to keep myself awake. Colby noticed and grabbed my back supportively. I gasped at the contact, but tried to cover it up with a cough which didn't really help either.
"You should sit down." Colby said in an almost angry tone. I shook my head and waved it off, even though I knew that he was more then right.
"I'm fine, Colby. You're being overdramatic. Trust me, I would tell you if I couldn't film the video." Colby sighed and walked over to the camera. I felt bad for lying, but I knew it was the only way that he would leave me alone.
Colby said our intro like normal and the video went on how it usually would. That was until halfway through. I could feel myself leaning to grab anything as I became more lightheaded then before. I pushed through the feeling with all my strength, but I couldn't do it any longer. I felt my eyes roll back and my body go under the cold water. Then I blacked out.
*Colby's POV*
I felt the water splash over my face and at first I went to yell at Sam for getting the camera wet, but that was until I saw him under the water making no effort to get up. I immediately grabbed him and pulled him into my chest as his head lay almost lifelessly on my arm. I brushed his hair back and felt for a pulse, which he had because he wasn't under the water for that long.
I carried him out of the water and wen to do CPR, but he started coughing and opened his eyes only slightly.
"What happened?" Sam whimpered. I still had him against my chest as his eyes started to flutter once more. I didn't know what to do to keep him away, so I did the only thing I could think of in that moment.
I kissed him with everything I had in me and surprisingly he kissed me back. He didn't push away, he just kissed me with more force. I eventually pulled away to catch my breath and we just stared into each other's eyes.
"You don't know how long I have waited for that." Sam said causing me to laugh, given our current situation.
"You should have told me you were sick." I said to him. He shook his head and leaned into my chest, which caused my heart to flutter.
"I didn't want you to worry." He whispered. I smiled and kissed his forehead gently.
"Well you almost gave me a heart attack." He hit my shoulder playfully as I picked him up bridal style. I walked up to his room and placed him carefully on the bed even though he was still soaking wet.
"I'm freezing." Sam said as he shivered. I wen to grab a blanket, but he protested as I reached his closet.
"I want you to lay with me." I smiled and happily obliged. I got under the covers with him and he made his way closer to me.
"You know I love you, as in more then a friend. I know that sounds like a middle school thing to say, but I mean it." I confessed and I felt him smile against me.
"I love you too and I have wanted to tell you that for the longest time." He said as he looked up at me. I kissed him passionately when I looked down, but he pushed away slightly.
"I don't want to get you sick." I rolled my eyes and kissed him anyway.
" I don't care if I get sick as long as I have you to take care of me." Sam smiled as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
We ended up falling asleep in that position and as it turns out, Sam getting sick turned out to be better then we would have known.
A/N: This kind of sucks, but I'm posting it anyway.
