Stella

I felt like the walking dead at school, my head was pounding, I was sweating and my eyes burned, my muscles ached and I couldn't focus, I had my test today, I stayed up the whole night studying

Father supervised it, he said it was my price to pay for being and I quote: 'Unladylike at dinner'

After my test, it was in the first class I had, I hadn't even realized I had fallen asleep in class, I never, ever sleep at school. Something really is wrong with me today.

"Stella" I hear a familiar voice call tapping on my arm. I open my eyes to greet Hudson but I was too sick to acknowledge him right now.

"Go away" I tell him. "Let me die in peace"

He chuckles, "Come on, Stella I'm pretty sure you're not dying" He uses the back of his hands to check my temperature at my neck. "Or are you?" He says, "We need to get you to the nurse"

I heard Hudson says but I was too dead to move.

"Why did you even come to school?" Hudson questions.

"Parents, test" Is all I say in my ghost form.

Hudson laughs before shifting the hair out of my face, to place it behind my ear.

I weakly shield my face, "No, don't look at my dying body"

My throat was hurting so much at this point I decided on no more talking.

"Come on" Hudson helps me up and we walk to the nurses office.

"Well hello there" The nurse brightly smiles, "How can I help? What seems to be the matter?"

"I'm dying" I tell her as I lay on the bed, Hudson sits at the edge.

"I think she has the flu" Hudson answers more sensibly.

"What's her name?" The nurse asks.

"Ghost" I answer.

"It's Stella" Hudson answers again.

I would stick my tongue out at him but I'm too dead.

Was I dead or dying?

I didn't even know at this point.

"Okay" The nurse smiles at Hudson before she checks my temperature, telling me it's pretty high. After she did, disgustingly I threw up.

Hudson still amazes me in the situation where nothing affects him. He didn't even move when he saw me throwing up, not that it would've caught him any but still.

"I think you need the actual hospital Stella" She tells me before walking off. My headache has multipled by now and burn in my eyes has now made them watery.

Hudson moves my hair out of my face, "You'll be fine" He tells me and I shut my eyes for a second.

When I wake up, I'm met by a very bright light, I don't speak. I can't my throat hurts too much.

"Ah your awake" A female doctor greets me. I don't remember being carried to the hospital but here I am.

"We've contacted your parents Stella, they came to check on you when you were asleep, I was telling them it's best we keep you overnight or at least until the throwing up stops"

So I would have to stay here all by myself?
Cause I already know my parents would never come to stay with me. They'll probably come tomorrow telling the doctor to discharge me because I shouldn't have any absent on my report.

"Stella your results show high level of stress, your pressuring yourself quite alot, is everything okay at home? Or at school?"

I don't answer for I fear my throat will hurt even more.

"Okay we'll talk when you feel better" The doctor thankfully gets the message, I hope he didn't think I was intentionally rude.

When he left I felt sleepy again, where was Hudson? And what happened if my parents and him were here at the same time?

I wish I had my phone to contact him. Luckily I see Rose walk in with soup and two bottle of water, I am ecstatic to see a familiar face.

"Stella, your awake, you scared us there for a second" Rose said. "Anyway I brought you some soup, are you hungry?"

I wasn't really hungry, I was more concerned about the whereabouts of Hudson.

I try to reach for the water and Rose sees and she takes it up for me, helping me, in placing it at my lip. It hurts my throat when I swallow. I hated being sick.

"H-Hudson" Is all I could manage to say when the bottle was removed from my lips.

Rose looks at me, "Hudson went home, he said needed to wash up and get something to eat, I already contacted him Stella"

Rose smiles, "I got you, girl"

I raise my hand placing it on her cheek, hoping it communicated alot. "It's okay Stella, it's the least I could do"

After a while of talking to me Rose begins feeding me the soup, I felt babied today. I absolutely loved it.

Hudson walks in, during the process of it, "Can I have some?" He asks walking over to us.

"No, it's for Stella, but since your here, you can take over, I've got to get home to cook her parents' dinner"

Hudson nods before hugging Rose, when did all of that happen? When did they become friends?

Rose walks out Hudson attempts to feed me but I was full, plus I felt sick to my stomach again. Hudson quickly noticed the signs and reach for a garbage bin for me to throw up in.

You don't understand how disgusted I felt with myself.

"I'll be back" He says taking the bin elsewhere. I look around the room and I see my school bag, and another traveling bag packed with necessities, I guess.

When Hudson walks in he goes to that bag and takes out my toothbrush, "Do you think you could make it to the bathroom?"

I won't know unless I try right?

He helps me up and I do make it sitting on the toilet seat, weakly, Hudson starts brushing my teeth and pretty soon we were finished with it, my mouth tasted so much better.

"Shower" I say to him. I felt unclean right now. Yes, I did know that in order for Hudson to help me shower I would of course have to be naked but I trusted in Hudson enough to know he wouldn't judge or do anything inappropriate. I hope he doesn't get sick from spending so much time with me. It even surprised me that I was sick, I didn't get sick quite often, rarely in fact.

Hudson goes out to the room and I slowly take off my dress, stood only in my brassiere and under shorts.

When Hudson gets back he pauses for moment, stopping in his track when he saw me but then proceeded to help me shower.
