Baby Love

Ch. 20

A few days later I walked out of the shower in Calums luxurious house feeling dizzy and clammy wrapping a towel around me leaning into the wall as the world spun around me. "Woah you look like dirt," his friend mitchy said walking through with his eyes covered. I barely had the energy to nod which only made the room spin faster. "Wha... hey princess are you ok," i could hear cal running over pressing his hands to my face. "Baby youre burning up." I looked up exhausted once the room stopped spinning. I knew i looked awful. Between the jet lag and getting sick i had deep dark bags under my eyes and my skin was paler than normal. Combined with my wet hair im sure i looked like death in that moment but i could still see the love in his eyes. "Dont feel good" i barely whispered with a whine in my throat. He had a soft look as he gently led me to the bed telling Mitchy hed call him later. "What doesn't feel good angel?" I just shrugged pulling on shorts and his tank top snuggling into his side "stomach an head mostly... its like cramping and dizziness maxed out... like a bad hangover but ive never had alcohol" i pouted nuzzling i to his arm. He looked down at me concerned for a bit then pulled his phone out. "D dont need a doctor m'sorry ill be good." His brows furrowed as he watched me burrow under the covers whining softly. "Love im calling a doctor but not because you think you were bad... im calling because im worried about you." I zoned out as he made the call while petting my wet hair frowning with each whine. "Princess do you think you could sip some gatorade for me" he asked softly still petting my hair. I nodded trying to nuzzle into his hand curling up more.  He went over to the mini fridge in the room pouring a blue gatorade into a water bottle with a pop straw type lid and brought it back to me watching as I sip on it. "Thats it baby good job," he praised softly. "They said it's probably just a cold and to keep you hydrated and comfy," ill order some soup And stuff from postmates later bu..." he trailed off letting me curl around him cooing as my eyes fluttered. "Sleep my love Ive got you." He hummed into my hair rubbing my back. "Mnot tired cal sjust the spinning," i murmured holding onto his arm hoping itll ground me a bit. But nothing helped as I jumped up stumbling to the bathroom getting sick. I flinched harshly when a cold hand rested on my shoulder. "Im taking you to the doctor love this isnt ok." I could hear all the worry and fear in his voice as he called the others and moments later luke and ash were helping carry me to the car and holding a bucket on my lap as cal drove us to the hospital. I mustve blacked out at some point because next thing I knew I was tucked tightly into a hospital bed with wires and tubes attached to my arms sweating buckets. My throat felt like sandpaper as I tried to reach for cals hand where he was asleep with his head rested on his arms near my hip. He jumped nearly falling off his chair when I gently grabbed his hand. "H hey youre awake," he whispered reaching up and brushing the hair off my face. "And your fever finally broke." I could hear the relief in his voice and pointed to my throat lazily making a drinking motion. "Oh oh yeah here," he quickly turned and grabbed a bottle of water helping me sit up to drink some. "Thanks" i rasped softly. I tried to say more but he cut me off with a soft kiss. "Im not supposed to do that but i missed seeing those gorgeous eyes." He shook his head. "Youre ok though. The doctors said you were severely dehydrated thats what caused the dizziness and what made you blackout. They've been giving you IV fluids since last night but they said other than that youre healthy. Even said your feet are almost perfectly healed you just need to be careful cuz theyll be sensitive for a while." i nodded and weakly tried to pull him to me pouting when he backed away. "I cant love ill hurt you." He explained as I teared up and looked away rolling to my side facing away from him curling up. "Baby its not that I don't want to please believe me... you just look so fragile right now and Im terrified Ill hurt you but what if i..." he trailed off walking around to this side sitting right in front of my face holding one hand tightly and caressing my cheek softly. I couldn't stop my tears at how much love I saw in his eyes. "I-i" "shhhh baby I know" he kissed my hand softly holding it to his lips as a single tear fell from his eye. But he jumped up when Luke walked in and I rolled over smiling at him a bit wiping my eyes. "H hey bubba," my voice was soft and scratchy still but his warm smile and soft kiss to my forehead made it feel better. "We can leave later today once you finish this iv bag.." he informed as cal let out a sigh in relief.
