chapter seven
-&-

  I knew that If I did a lot over the weekend, I was going to be exhausted. I just hoped that it wouldn't have happened.

It's a change in routine.

Here I am, my third week into college, already ill.

  I have a huge headache as well as a stuffed nose, I couldn't breathe, only from my mouth. I couldn't move out of bed because of my head.

It was too painful to move at the moment and the only cure is to keep still in bed.

  There is a plus side to this and that is I can just stay in bed all day as it's always raining outside and getting to College will just be hell.

  I didn't even hear my bedroom door open and my mom walks in. It was when I felt a dip in my bed and I opened my eyes.

   "Honey, you haven't eaten yet and you need to before you leave for school," she said watching my face.

  I groaned when the light came in contact with my eyes. It felt like the pressure was being pressed into my eyes.

  Her hand touched my forehead, it felt colder than night. Chills shot up my shine at the contact, I wanted to back away but she pulled back before I could.

   "Are you ill honey?" She asked.

  I nodded but winced when I felt a pain shoot through my head. "Yeah," I whispered, closing my eyes.

  I heard her curse out load as she stood off the bed and walked around my room. "It's freezing today, it's crazy how the weather is changing here, one minute it's sunny the next raining,".

I didn't reply as I felt myself become droopy again.

  I felt her hand stroke my head for a while, running her fingers through my hair, it was really soothing and relaxing.

   "I'm sorry,"

Was all I heard before darkness welcomed me once again.

I don't understand why.

I took a seat on the edge of the river, my feet swam in the clear water.

   "Alone?"

  I looked back and saw a guy standing there. He looked muscular as his brown shirt clung to his body. He had tight black pants on and a belt around his waist.

He came over even though I never said anything to him.

  He took a seat next to me, letting on leg fall over the edge and the other one fold over. He rested his arm on it as he looked at me.

   "You seem lost in thought ma'am?" he said, nudging me a little,

   "Ma'am?" I questioned.

  He chuckled, throwing his head back. "Well, I would call you beautiful, but I don't want to be treading on anyone's toes," He asked, flashing a beautiful smile at me.

I sighed and looked ahead of me, across the river I could see more trees which go on and on.

  Nothing was said between us which made it easier, I didn't seem to be in a talkative mood. After everything, I just felt drained.
