Hemmings 1996

sick

Apparently, I fell asleep on of Luke and Julie fell asleep On Ash. 

I woke up with a sore back from how I was positioned. I look up and see that Luke's head is resting on the back of the couch, mouth open and loud snores escaping. I look across the couch to see Julie rubbing her eyes. Ashton's hand was intertwined with hers. AAAWWWWWWWWW. "Hey, Julie." I whisper/yell. She sits up and yawns. 

"Hmm?" She says with her eyes half open.

"We just slept over with 5SOS." I say.

"Holy shit." She says widening her eyes at the thought. 

"Heay, don't swear." Ashton was just waking up. typical him. Julie looks over at him and smiles. (DOUBLE AWWWW)  I look across the couch to see Calum and Michael snuggled together... Malum:-). I can't help but laugh at it. I look behind me to see Luke just awakening. He coughs and rubs his eyes. He sits up and spots me. He looks happy but surprised. 

"Did you girls sleep here?" He questions as he squints his eyes. I just nod. My throat was sore from all the singing at last nights concert. Oh lord, I feel as if i'm going to throw up. I hop off Luke's legs and stand up with urgency. 

"Um, where's your bathroom?" I question, getting even more antsy.

"Just around there." Luke points. I don't say anything else, I just ran. I made it to the bathroom in time to spill. Ugh, I vomited in the toilet. I heard heavy footsteps running in my direction. I look up to see Luke slam into the frame of the door. 

"Heather? Are you sick?" He asks. Why is he so worried.

"Mhm." I'm not absolutely sure but I wouldn't through up "just because".  I place my head above the toilet bowl once again to let the demons free. I didn't realize Luke had moved until i felt a hand rub circles into my back. "I want to go home." I complain sounding like a child. 

"It's OK, babe. Aren't you from the states though?" He asks. I'm guessing he stalked through my twitter. 

"Yeah. Julie and I have a dorm together. I just want to go back there for now. We transfered out here and we both go to the same college." I ramble on a little bit hoping to distract myself from being sick. 

Luke just pats my back, soothing me. Eventually I sit up and make my way back to where we were before. Julie was sitting up now, talking with Ash. Calum and Michael were on their phones. They all looked up at me. I guess I looked horrible. Luke had an arm around my shoulder. I was about 6'2' so only a few inches shorter than him. He had no trouble slumping his arm around my sulking shoulders. 

"Heather?Are you OK?" I hear Julie ask softly.

"Nah, I feel really sick." I spoke with a raspy voice. I hate being sick. 

"How about we get you back to the dorm?" She asks, I love Julie and she loves me, but I can tell she doesn't want to leave Ashton. 

 "I'm OK Julie. I can stay so you can." I try my best to smile but that wasn't a good idea, I felt my stomach become unsettled again. I ran back to the bathroom and up-chucked once again.

"How about I take you to your dorm, Babe?" Luke suggested. 

"I'd like that." I mumble out from under my arms.

I got in the car and closed my eyes. This is not gonna be good. 

"Let me know if i need to pull over." Luke says. I did nothing but grunt a little. soon enough, we were at my dorm. I fumble out my key and push open the door. I didn't even bother to close the door. As soon as I was inside, my body collapsed onto a bed. I'm not even sure if it was mine or Julies but it would have to work.

I hear the door click shut and I thought Luke was gone, so I said aloud,"This is just fucking great, being sick in front of one of the hottest guys in the whole god damn universe."

"I'm glad you think that." I turn my head to see Luke sitting on a chair, smirking. shit.

"Holy crap, I thought you left." I bury my face into the pillows, embarrassed. 

"Would you like anything?" He asked, he sounded concerned. 

"I just want to sleep." I whispered. 

"OK." He said. I shut my eyes and heard shuffling behind me. Suddenly, the bed sinks down a bit and Luke's body is positioned behind mine. I was about to refuse but then he wrapped his arm over my shoulder and placed the other on my hip bone. He used his thumb to rub circles on my hip. It's surprisingly soothing. 

I woke up feeling worse than I did the day before. My throat was so sore it was hard to swallow, my stomach gave no sign of an appetite, my head was going to explode, but Luke was still here. He was now on his stomach but still on the bed. 

"Hey." I tried to talk but I made the wrong decision. It hurt my throat so much I wanted to scream. All I could do was whimper. My silent cries woke Luke up. He turned to face me with groggy eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey." He sat up and enveloped me in his arms. "Is it your throat?" I nodded against his chest. I pull apart, motioning to my wrist for the time. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and glanced at it."It's about 3 pm."  I nodded. Ii really wanted to go back to the 5SOS house but I couldn't tell him that. so, I pulled out my phone and texted him.

from Heather: I want to go back to the rest of the boys and Julie.

from Luke: that's not a good idea :-( you're too sick. 

from Heather: I don't care. I just want to be with all of you 

from Luke:fine, lets go :-)

We both got up and I organized my appearance in the bathroom. I changed from my 5SOS t-shirt to an All Time Low one. I left my black skinny jeans on.I walked out and motioned to Luke that we could get going. We walked out of my dorm and to his car. I leaned my head against the cold window, ah it felt so good. Luke and I drove in silence, we arrived at the house quickly though. 

I walked inside and saw that the lounging area was empty. Luke walked in behind me and motioned for me to follow him. I did, we ended up in the kitchen. Julie and ashton were just sitting at the counter and Calum and Michael were beating each other up with bananas. I rolled my eyes and sat myself down on a stool next to Julie. 

"Hey! Are you feeling any better?" I started to talk but Luke stopped me.

"Um, she can't talk, her throat hurts too bad. She doesn't seem to be any better but she insisted on coming over." I just nod along to the accurate information. Julie looks at me and sighs.

"I can never keep her down." She laughs and Luke does too. I just smile. Luke taps me on the shoulder.

"Come here." He says. I push myself off the stool and drag myself behind him. He led me upstairs and into his bedroom. It had A LOT of band posters and guitars all around. It also had some clothes spread on the floor. The one thing that appealed to me was the bed. I looked at look and pointed to the bed with a questioning look on my face."Go ahead." He giggles. I lightly run over to the bed and let myself fall onto it. Ahhhhhhhh yes. before I knew it, Luke snuggled down next to me and my eye lids grew heavy. "sleep tight, Heather."
