I was lying in my room as sick as could be. I was coughing, had a head ache and a stomach ache. Now I should be at school to keep up my perfect GPA but I New I could just catch up tonight and hand in missing stuff in the morning.
I didn't feel like telling anyone I was sick because that would mean I'd have to get up to text them and have them worry about me. I could hear my phone buzzing from calls and texts from people so I finally pick it up and look at it.
Ronnie- Where are you? I had to cancel cheer practice.
Shit I forgot about cheer.
Ronnie- I'm serous, where are you Cher. Are you okay please text me 💙
I probably should text her but... I won't
I keep looking at my phone and checking other texts.
Kevin- bitch I had to deal with history by myself where are you, you hoe? Love u
Oh god I love Kevin.
Betty- Hey Cheryl. Can you text back, I need to know you're alive.
I feel dead so if I text back I'd be lying.
TT- babe I miss you where are you?
TT- I need you to answer are you okay?
TT- please tell me your okay I'm worried.
TT- you didn't show up for math please tell me your okay
TT- I'm coming to your house!
Oh god, no she can't come here I'll make her sick.
Cheryl- Tt please don't come here I'm fine.
TT- no your not, fine is you showing up for math and texting back
Cheryl- everything is okay I'll text you later okay
TT- ha funny you think I'm still not gunna come. See ya in 10
Cheryl- no don't skip school you idiot
Ughh. She's coming here. Fuck I look disgusting. I think as I look at myself. I can't make her sick. Thank god my door is locked
Just then I hear knocking on the front door. And then more knocking. Then I hear someone that I know and love.
"Cheryl" I hear her say.
Maybe if I don't answer she'll leave?
"Cheryl I know your inside" she says.
"Cheryl so help me if you don't answer I will kick this door down"
Ughhh.
"There's a key under the mat" I yell and hear her unlock and open the front door.
She opens my door and I instantly throw a blanket over top of me so she can't see me.
"I sick don't come here" I say as the blankets muffle my speech. Toni sits down on the bed beside me and pulls the blankets down from my face.
"Babe why didn't you tell me you were sick I could've been helping you"
"That's the thing I don't want you to get sick" I say coughing slightly.
"I don't care if I get sick. It's worth it"
"but I look gross" I say
"Baby you never look gross, your the complete opposite of gross." she says honestly "do you need anything right now" she asks.
"Just for you to be here" I say and she kicks off her shoes and slides under the covers with me, holding me in her arms as I cuddle up to her.
"I love you" Toni says as I close my eyes laying my head in her chest.
"I love you too" I whisper, drifting off to sleep.
