Reaching Out For Someone I Can't See

18- You do?

Rizz was shaken up from the bus's movement as she momentarily hear a loud sneeze beside her which is from the guy she's been with in the rain.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" she asked Jeize as he sneezed a multiple times earlier and it does make her worry making her filled with guilt.

She was sitting beside him as they enter the bus and Jeize was covered by his own jackets while she has only one that she wears. Actually she really felt that she was having a little head ache ever since the ride started. Probably, she didn't even think that the temperature was really different from her country but still, they played on the rain without thinking about anything.

Jeize fell asleep and Rizz stayed awake. Thinking about what she should do to him. She was thinking about his own career at this time because he was barely covered for his own identity. By the thought and her worries for him, she looked around seeing all of the passengers were not millennial. Though it wasn't too crowded as she seemed to imagine, she was still worried that this moment might ruin him for just a minute so she covered him enough to hide his identity together with his safety. She really wanted to take care of him since he was having a cough and he was dizzy too that makes her worry and conclude that he has fever.

She woke up Jeize for a bit to ask.

"Jeize" she called.

"Yeah?" He answered, still leaning on the window and half asleep.

"I'm just thinking if you'll go home now. You have fever" she said sounded concern.

But he suddenly snore and that's when she realize that he was really asleep so she decided to go to his home since he really need to change but she suddenly remembered that...

She doesn't even know where he lives when they are not working and decided to call Jim when she arrived on the hall and found a payphone station. At two rings, she heard his voice and asked what to do.

\"Take him to your home, he can't take care of himself that way. Sorry to bother you" Jim said as his voice sounded apologetic.

"No no, its fine. Don't worry but I'm bothered because I have no spare clothes for him."

"Uhm. Can you do the favor? I'll pay for it when I come back"

"Yeah sure. Don't worry" she hastily said and ended the call.

She walked and stayed awake for a moment even if she felt the head ache. Until she got to her place while supporting Jeize. He's heavy, but she still managed. He isn't dead to the world but a bit awake still feeling weak.

Rizz really felt guilty at that moment.

I shouldn't have let him come with me even if I want to.

...

Rizz stumbled on her quite steps because of carrying Jeize towards her and Andrea's bedroom. She looked around before flopping him on her bed making him comfortable but he groaned.

"Sorry" she whispered.

Rizz told him to change his clothes but she only has a boxy shirt and luckily, it fits on him. Also, after changing her own clothes, she went to a store and luckily found some pair of clothes for him. When she arrived home, she immediately prepared what he needs such as warm water and a towel while he rest. She wiped his face and covered him with the comforter she have and let him sleep while she was on the kitchen preparing some porridge.
