"Get away from me, I'm sick," I hissed at Jack. I had been throwing up and running a fever most of the day. The second I told Jack he insisted he come take care of me, no matter how many times I told him not to.
"I know you're sick, but that isn't going to stop me," he told me.
"Jack, you're going to get sick too, and you go on tour soon. Please leave," I insisted. I loved that Jack wanted to take care of me, but I didn't want to get him sick right before his and Jack's next tour.
"I'll be fine, and if I do get sick, it won't be the end of the world."
"Jack-" I was cut off by a hand in my face and Jack sushing me.
"Why do you want me to leave so badly?" he questioned.
"I already told you, so I'm not the reason you have to cancel tour and make everyone mad a me," I said, hardly breathing.
"I think eveyone would understand."
"Okay, but I'm also not 5 and I don't need someone to take care of me." Just as the sentence came out of my mouth I felt bile rising in my throat and grabbed my trash can, emptying whatever was left of my stomach into it. I laid my forehead against the rim of the can and Jack ran his hand up and down my back. "What do you even know about taking care of a sick person?"
"I don't know anything, I just wanted to see you, and if it means seeing you throwing up, I'm fine with it," he told me and I rolled my eyes.

2 more trash cans full of my vomit later, Jack and I were laying on my bed watching old 'The Suite Life on Deck' episodes. Even now, years later, it was still my favorite show. I was snuggled against Jack and under covers, trying to get as warm as I could, although nothing was working.
"I can't believe you still watch this show," Jack teased.
"I don't that often, but I wanted to tortue you even more than you already are."
"Nothing's tourture with you."
"You make me sick," I told him. "You're the reason I'm throwing up."
"Yeah, whatever, you love me or else you wouldn't be snuggling against me so hard," Jack smiled.
"Shut up," I muttered under my breath. Throwing up so much had taken all of my energy and I snuggled even closer to Jack and closed my eyes, hoping I didn't throw up all over him in my sleep, although, if I did, it was his idea to take care of me so it was his fault.

I woke up and it was almost 7 four hours later than when I last remember being awake. I looked over at Jack and saw him sleeping. I was now sweating and extremely hot, which I was going to take as a good sign. I kicked off all of the blankets and rolled away from Jack, trying to cool down.
Nothing was helping cool me down so I walked into my bathroom and turned the shower on so it was cold. I took off my clothes and steped in. Almost as soon as I got in, I was back to freezing. I shut off the shower and dried off. I put my bra and underwear back on and walked back into the room. I knew Rianne wouldn't be back for a while so I didn't care that I was half naked. I walked to my closet and started digging through my clothes. I pulled out a pair of pink shorts and a plain black shirt.
"You're so beautiful," I heard Jack say. I jumped and turned around.
"You're not so shabby yourself," I smiled.
"Do you feel better?" he asked.
"Yeah. I actually feel a lot better," I smiled.
"See, I'm magic."
"You didn't do anything."
"I let you use my body heat to help keep you warm. I must be magic."
"You must be full of shit," I said, smacking him on the arm.
"I'm sure I'm full of that, too, but I like the magic more." Jack looked at the clock and sat up. "I have to leave."
"Have to? Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'd like to tell you, but it's a secret," Jack said and put a finger over his lips.
"You tell me secrets all the time, why can't you tell me this one?" I asked.
"It's extra secret and you'll find out soon enough."
"Fine. I'll talk to you later. I'd kiss you but I'm sick," I told him and hugged him instead.
"I love you, goodnight, Lakyn," he said and squeezed me.
"I love you too; but I'd love you even more if you told me the secret," I tried to persuade him.
"As much as I wish I could tell you, I can't. I've been sworn to secrecy."
"You're always sworn to secrecy, but you never keep it this secret."
"I love you, night," he said, huggine me again and walked out of the dorm. He made me so mad sometimes.

I was up for a long time, partly because I wasn't tired and partly because I didn't like that Jack was keeping a secret from me. I knew it wasn't something horrible, Jack wasn't that kind of guy, I knew better than that, but I hated secrets. I had texted him a bunch of times already telling him to tell me or else, but each time he just ignored my threats. Rianne had gotten back a long time ago but had since fallen asleep. I tried not to let it bother me but for some reason it bothered me way worse than it should have. I knew I was making a mountain out of a mole hill but secrets and I have never been freinds and we never would be.
