Playing Along [inazuma eleven go fanfiction]

Chapter 10 [Absent]

==========

Reader's pov

*yawn*

"looks like you didn't sleep well" I didn't reply. My throat hurts probably from coughing 2 or 3 times each minute and my body feels like it has no more energy

Good lord my fever got worse. Really worse. I started vomiting, like a lot, having chills and my temperature went up to 38 °C/101 °F

No matter what food I try to fill my stomach. It keeps rejecting it.

Auntie had to rush me to the hospital. I don't remember much since I was nauseous the entire time. And when I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. With my grandpa sitting on the couch near me.

Just my luck, looks like I can't watch the match...well not there I mean. We can see the game live on TV. But I wanna be there to cheer for them.

"would you like some water, May?"

"...*cough*...yes...." I replied weakly. He strokes my hair before walking to get a glass and fills it with water.

Grandpa calls Sume with her English name, May. I found it weird that he calls Sume with her other name than what she usually uses, but then a memory flashed with mom telling Sume that he was the one who chose that name. So I guess he really likes that name.

Still, I'm bummed that I can't be there for the team. Not like they really need me or anything, I just wanna be there. Physically.

"I heard you joined a club" Grandpa hands me the glass. I grabbed with both hands and took a sip.

"mhm.." I replied after drinking.

"hmm...I also heard they're participating in this soccer tournament, they have a match tomorrow?" I frowned, gee thanks for bringing it up pops

I nodded and he took the glass and placed it on the table besides the bed.

I turned my head away and closed my eyes. I wanna sleep and get better immediately. I hate getting sick.

End of POV

"She's what?!....oh...yes, I understand....no,no Thank you....I hope she gets better, ok bye" everyone looked at Haruna worriedly as she hang up the phone and gave it back to Aoi.

During morning practice, Aoi received a call from Sume's number. When she answered, it was Sume's mother asking to talk to the clubs adviser. So Aoi gave it to Haruna.

"what was it sensei?" Shindou asked

"unfortunately Sumire won't be able to attend the match tomorrow, she's confined in the hospital as we speak" Haruna announced.

"e-eh?! She's hospitalised!?" Tenma said in shock

"she was really looking forward for tomorrow..." Aoi muttered.

They were planning to let Sume play instead of Tsurugi, but now they really don't have a choice.

Back at the hospital you were really annoyed by the medtechs taking blood samples from you, you hated needles!

"how long do I have to stay here mom? I thought it wasn't serious" you wined, clinging to the woman sitting besides you. She gave a sad smile and brushed your hair aside. "not until your fever goes down sweetie"

Eating food now is a lot easier at least, probably the antibiotics kicking in. But it was not enough to cure you in a hundred percent.

You continued to hug her. Sometimes when you have a high fever you get all childish and your eyes water easily. "but I don't wanna be hereee"
