"Lay back down."

I groaned and turned to see my boyfriend Luke returning to my bedroom with a bag from the dollar store. He took the change of clothes I had gotten out and put it back on my dresser.

"But band practice starts in 20 minutes."

He shook his head and placed the bag on the bed, "I know. But you aren't going, because you're sick. You're taking a sick day. I know you aren't feeling well and band practice wouldn't make that any better."

I groaned as he gently took my hand and lead me back to the bed to tuck me into the soft sheets. I shudder as my head throbbed from the motion of lying flat on my back. A cough decided to sound through my chest at that moment too resulting in a splitting feeling in my head.

"Does your head still hurt?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said, his hand reached up to feel my forehead.

"At least your fevers gone down. You should get some rest princess. If you get nauseous again there's a trash can beside the bed."

I nodded and finally let myself sink down into the bed as Luke played with my hair. The comforting action had me falling asleep in minutes and even after Luke got up to leave I couldn't wake myself up to say goodbye to him. I hadn't realized how tired I was.

The last thing I remember was him placing a gentle kiss on my forehead before I heard my bedroom door close.

When I woke up a note was placed on my bedside table from Luke.

Hope you slept well princess, there's snacks in the bag :)

I smiled and reached out for the plastic bag at the end of the bed, inside was a gatorade, some bland chips, my favorite fruit cups, and some pain meds for my headache.

I turned on the tv to whatever show I found most interesting for the day and settled back into bed with my food. By the time I heard my bedroom door open again it was already dark out and I was half asleep watching some reality show.

"Hey baby," I mumbled when I felt Luke's hand pushing the hair out of my face.

"Practice ended early so I came right here, scoot over."

I obliged and Luke kicked off his shoes before crawling into the bed with me and pulling me closer to him.

"How was practice?"

He smiled, "It was good. We finally finished that song."

"That's good," I mumbled into his chest.

His soothing hand rubbing circles on my back made me sleepier than I was before. Luke grabbed the remote and turned the TV down, turning to pull me even closer to him as we both drifted off to sleep.
