I smiled down at my phone. Chase had just confirmed his and Cline's relationship and I couldn't be happier for the two of them. One, so the fans could stop shipping Chase and I because it was annoying, and two, because they both deserved the best.

"Hey," Maddie shimmied into my room. I looked up at her and smiled. "Did you see?"

"Yup," I grinned and she came and sat on the end of my bed. I had been resting for the past few days because my body was really weak.

"I'm so happy," she grinned too, "and I am convinced it was because of me."

"What? How?" I rolled my eyes, smiling.

"Remember? At the pool a couple days ago?" she said. "This is the biggest 'I told you so' in the history of 'I told you so's."

"...you're not... wrong," I sighed, because she wasn't.

"What? Can you say that again? I couldn't hear you," she put her finger behind her ear, smiling.

"You're not getting me to say it again," I sat up slowly, turning to the side to swing my legs out of bed.

"You okay?"

"I've been sleeping and doing nothing all week, I need to get up and move around," I told her.

"I feel you," she nodded. "Rudy's been keeping you pretty busy, huh?"

"Yeah," I blushed, looking down, suddenly fascinated with my pajama pants. "He played Uno with me and we watched a couple movies."

"Ooo," she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Shut up," I bit my lip and stood up slowly, "woah, head rush," I slowly sat back down on the bed.

"Hey, take it easy... let me help you," she wrapped her arm around my torso and helped me stand up, slower this time.

"Gosh I hate being sick," I groaned. Once I was steady and on my feet, Maddie let me go and I waddled over to my bathroom. "Oh my goodness, Maddison! I look like a zombie!"

She just giggled.

"This is no laughing matter! My curls! They're so flat," I huffed, pulled out my hair products. "I'm gonna take a quick shower and try to freshen up."

"Okay, I'll go downstairs and make you some tea for when you get out," she smiled.

"Thank dude," I said.

"The Pouge sisters reunite!" she shouted and headed downstairs, leaving me behind, laughing at her comment.

I showered and freshened up, feeling a little bit better than before. I braided my hair half way and let the rest lose. Then I put on a gray, cropped sweatshirt and black leggings.

Stepping out of my room, I made my down the stairs with my phone in my hand. I had not been active on social media for a few days, so I needed to get back into things.

"Hey," I said to Rudy. He was standing with his back to me, bent over the kitchen sink, washing dishes.

"Hey," he turned to smile at me. "Glad to see you out of your bed... and in something other than your pajamas."

"Shut up," I rolled my eyes. "Have you seen Maddie?"

"No."

"How about Cline? Chase? Drew? JD? Literally anyone..."

"JD is on the porch live streaming, Chase and Cline are out, and Drew and Austin are upstairs playing video games. I'm surprised you didn't here them, they're pretty loud," he snorted.

"I don't know," I sat down at the bar. "I'm just out of it and I have a pressure headache."

"Ugh, those are the worst," he sighed.

"Tell me about it," I turned on my phone and liked Chase's post. "Congrats to Cline and Chase."

"Yeah, I know right," he laughed. "Finally."

"We've all been waiting," I added.

"Hey," Maddie entered the kitchen.

"Woah, where did you come from?" I whipped my head around to look at her. Bad idea, I imminently got dizzy. "Woah, I'm dizzy."

"Hey, take it easy," Rudy said. Maddie came to my side and rubbed my back.

"Ugh, I hate feeling like this," I sighed helplessly.

"Here, I made your tea," Maddie reached past the counter and handed me a warm cup.

"Thanks," I took a sip.

"You okay?" Rudy asked, drying his hands because he had finished washing the dishes.

"Yeah."

"Alright," he said, "I'm gonna go upstairs and play video games with the boys. Holler if you need me."

"Will do," I saluted him jokingly. He smiled and then bolted up the stairs.

"When is that gonna be official?" Maddie raised one eyebrow, taking a seat across from me at the table.

"Never," I snorted.

"Why?" she whined. "You two would be so cute together!"

"Whatever, Maddie," I rolled my eyes. "Here, do me a favor, take a picture of me. I haven't posted on my socials at all this week."

"Sure," she said and I handed her my phone to take the picture.
