(One Week Ago)
Why can't I stop coughing? It's painful at this point. I thankfully stopped getting a text from Roman.

R: Hey you Alright in there.
V:yeah I'm fine
R: uh-huh sure
V: i am seriously
R: Then what's all that coughing from in there?
V: nothing
R: Alright

I turned my phone off holding my breath getting a horrible migraine. What is wrong with you, Virgil? I'm not sick, am I? I feel my forehead, it's warm. I am, aren't I? I flop back onto my bed letting out a sigh.

My phone buzzes again, it's the chat.

P:Virgil, are you okay?
V: i'm fine
R: Virgil don't lie.
V: i'm not
L: Yes, you are.
V: ugh seriously guys i'm fine

I put my phone down hearing it continue to buzz. "Just Stop!" I shouted throwing my phone at a nearby wall. Well it's at least not buzzing anymore. I slowly drug my now exhausted body to the phone. I picked it up seeing it completely shattered, it still worked through. I threw it back at my bed feeling sick to my stomach. I grasp it as finally the real sickness arrived as I rushed to the bathroom.

(Present Time)
I woke up to Roman crouching beside me I groan in pain. I was freezing. Roman looks down at me. "Hey guys, he's awake!" He shouts, I grabbed my head in pain "mother" I said quietly hoping Roman heard. "Oh sorry," he said. "It's fine," I look up at Roman, "Hey Roman?" He looked at me. "Yeah?" "How'd the video go after I ruined it?" "Virgil, you didn't ruin anything...now let's get you to the commons." "Roman, I can't walk." Roman chuckles "I know." He stands and, to my surprise, lifted me.

"Man, you're really light...when's the last time you ate?" "I don't know...s-since this all started." He sighed as we finally made it to the commons. Thomas And Patton sat on the couch nervously and Logan was reading something but I couldn't tell, I was kinda nodding off.

Patton And Thomas saw me and stood up. Roman laid me on the couch. I tried to keep holding on but he wouldn't let me. I felt dizzy and everything was fuzzy. The four of them went into a corner to talk about something.
I got into a warmish position, which happened to be the fetal position.

"Hey Thomas?" I said with my raspy voice, trying to get his attention. The full group turned around. "Yeah, buddy?" He said he had, what I thought was, a smile, "Is it possible I could get something to drink? And I'm really cold." 'Ahhh I'm being needy.' I thought. "Is water alright?" Thomas moves slightly closer scaring me, he must have noticed this, because he stopped. "T-that would be nice." "Okay, Patton you're on blanket duty. Roman, get him a trashcan just in case. I'll be right back with your water, Virg." I laid back putting up an okay sign as everyone went to do their jobs.

Patton grabbed the purple fluffy blanket. "Thank you, P-Patton." I said I think he smiled.  "Anytime Kiddo." Thomas came back in with a glass of water and...a rag? What does he need that for? "Here you go Buddy." He said handing me the glass. I slowly sat up and took a drink, "Thank you, Thomas." "Of course, all that matters is getting you back." I smiled, closing my eyes "When Roman gets back, tell him I said 'Thank you'. " "No need, Your Welcome." I open one eye seeing Roman standing there. "Oh hey." Everyone laughed as I close my eye and got comfy.

I heard foot steps going away from me and something came to my vision. It was me, walking away from the others. 'No no no no no, this can't be real, right?' My heart started pounding. 'No not here, not now.' I thought but I passed out.
