What Could Happen: Falling in Love Too Soon - Chapter 7

I fell asleep. It's Wednesday now and I'm not going to school or work. I feel horrible. From my monthly and this stinky cold. It feels like my head is full of bubbles. I feel like Sponge Bob when he got the suds- I know I watch too much TV-, I haven't talked to Drew since he left. I've been thinking bout him and watching movies on my laptop since I woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. It's only nine am now. My phone starts buzzing. I look at it. It's a text from Drew.

"Hey babe where are you."
"At home, sick." I reply.
"I'm on my way." He texts.
"Okay." I reply. I sit up and I feel like my legs don't work. I get out of bed and unlock the door. I get back in bed and start my movie again. There's a knock at my door.
"Come in." I say and Drew opens the door. "Lock it back please." I say and he locks it to. He looks sick. He sits next to me. I stop my movie. "Hey babe." I say.
"Hey." He says and he sounds sick. He leans in and tries to kiss me.
"No kisses. I'm sick." I say.
"So am I ." He says and kisses me.
"I don't like being sick."
"I don't either." He says.

"Come on lets watch movies." I say and he takes off his sweatshirt. His t-shirt is funny. He takes off his sweat pants. He has his basketball shorts on. He gets in next to me and I snuggle up to him. "Sorry I didn't video chat you last night. As soon as I finished homework I fell asleep." I say and look at him.
"It's okay as soon as I went home I fell asleep." He says.
"Do you want something to eat. I'm hungry." I say and sit up.
"Yeah." He says and we get out of bed. We walk upstairs and into the kitchen. I take out stuff to make sandwiches.
"Do you want soup too?"

"Yeah." He says and I take out some soup. I put it in a pot and on the stove. I start making sandwiches.
"I can't believe we go sick."
"I can we were running in the rain."

"It was fun though." I say and he smiles at me. He starts coughing. I turn around and grab the cough medicine. I grab a spoon and pour some on there. "Open." I say and he looks at me. He opens his mouth and I feed him the medicine. I grab another spoon and pour some on the spoon. I drink it. I grab two orange juices and give him one. I drink one.
"Thank you babe." He says.

"I'm cold." I say. I have on shorts and a tank top. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around me. "Thank you but I'm still cold." I say and look up at him. I bring my arms up and wrap my arms around his neck. I lay my head on his chest. I smell the soup and let go of him. I turn around and pour the soup into the bowl. I finish making the sandwiches and put them on a plate. "Babe can you go in the pantry and get some snacks." I say and he does it. He has like a bunch of stuff in his arms. I put the soup and sandwiches on a plate and I grab some drinks. I have a few downstairs too. We walk downstairs. He drops everything on my bed. I sit down with the soup and drinks and he sits next to me. I hand him a bowl. I get in bed and grab my soup and start eating. He looks at me. "What?" I say.

"Nothing."
"Yeah something."
"I'll tell you when you're done eating."
"Why?"

"Nothing."
"No kissing. We are both sick and I don't want to get you sicker."
"One kiss."
"Fine one." I say and he kisses me.
"Thank you." He says. "Do you not want to kiss me."
"It's not that, I just don't want to get you sicker. If I wasn't sick it would be different."
"Okay." He says and gets in bed next to me.
"Where did you park?"

"Um on the street."
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Why did you park on the street you could have parked in the drive way."

"I don't know I got lazy." He says. I start eating again. I look at him. He eats weird. Not gross just weird and it's cute. I start laughing. "What?"

"You eat weird."
"Thank you."
"No it's cute." I say and I finish my soup. I start eating my sandwich.
"Babe do you bring brownies home."
"Yeah I do actually. I say and get up. I walk over to my mini fridge and I open it and take out a brown paper bag. I buy like seven brownies and seven chocolate chip cookies. Yeah I sound fat but I eat them throughout the week, one for everyday. I walk over to Drew and climb in bed.
"What is that?"

"Brownies." I say and hand him one.
"Let me see how many is in there." He says and reaches for the bag. I move it away.
"Don't touch."
"Let me see." He says and tries to grab it again.

"No." I say. He looks at me and I look at him. He leans in and I lean in. We don't kiss though. I move my face. "I have to go to the bathroom."
"No wait." He says and touches my arm. "I won't try to kiss you."
"I want to kiss you but I don't want to make you sicker and I don't want to get sicker."
"Okay. Well we took the medicine so we should be better tomorrow."

"Yeah." I say and my stomach feel weird. Oh my gosh. I'm about to throw up. I get out of bed and run into my bathroom so fast. I start throwing up. I feel someone pull my hair out of my face. I finish puking my brains out- not literally- I stand up and rinse my mouth. I brush my teeth and sit on the sink. Drew sits on the rim of the bathtub.

"What was that from? Not from a little cold." He says and he looks confused.
"My monthly. Sometimes it makes me sick."
"Oh. Okay." He says and stands up. He picks me up and carries me to my bed. He puts me down and he runs upstairs. He runs back down and he has more soup. He hands it to me and I start eating. He puts all the snacks and food in my mini kitchen. He walks back over to me and gets in bed with me. I snuggle up to him and he put his arm around me. "Don't throw up on me." He says and I giggle and hit his stomach. He chuckles. I want to kiss him but I can't because we're sick. I grab his hand and I start tracing the lines on his hands. I put my soup on the night stand and I start the movies again. I grab the bag of brownies and start eating one. "Babe you should finish your soup first."

"Let me eat just one." I say. I finish the brownie and hand him the bag. "I hate being sick." I say and look at him.
"I know but let's just relax we have to go to school tomorrow. It's just a one day cold. Tomorrow you will just have the sniffles and probably sneezing."
"Okay I want to go to sleep though." I say and lay my head on his chest. We just sit there quietly and watch the movie.

~Was supposed to be Chapter 8, but it was too short so.... Next day.~

After like thirty minutes of the movie I fell asleep. Drew left around 9 pm. Today I feel completely better. I just have a runny noise. It's 6:00 am and I have to be in class in an hour and a half. I'm not even dressed yet. I don't even know what I'm going to wear. I get out of bed and walk into my closet. Um... I'll just wear sweatpants and a shirt. I grab my black sweat pants and my pink short sleeve shirt. My sweatpants has the pink in pink on them. I grab a white tank top. I walk into my bathroom and get in the shower. I wash my hair. I hear my phone ringing. I rinse off and get out of the shower. I wrap a towel around myself and run out of the bathroom. I answer the phone.

"Yeah." I say almost out of breath.
"Hey." It's Josh.
"Hey." I say and I start getting dressed. I hold the phone between my shoulder and my ear.
"What are you doing."

"Getting dress why?"
"Get online."

"I'll get on in like ten minutes." I say and I put my sweatpants on. I put my bra and tank top on. "Okay I'm getting on." I say and open my computer. I click the app on my Mac and His name pops up. I click on it and his face pops up. I hang up. Oh Josh is my best guy friend by the way.
"Hey." He says.
"What's up home skillet." I say.
"So I heard about him."
"And."

"Um he has to pass my test." He says. Oh and Josh is gay and has a boyfriend. He is so protective of me though.
"I know and I told him. I think he's ready for it."
"I'm going to sit with you at lunch today."
"Okay then you can give him the test today."
"Okay I have to think of good questions." He says and I start laughing.
"Okay." I say. I get up and grab my shirt from my bed. I put it on. "Okay you're coming with me to the bathroom." I say and pick up my laptop and carry it to the bathroom. I put it on top of my little stand. This stand is probably the one smart thing my mom convinced me to buy that I actually use on a daily basis. I start brushing my teeth.
"I think I'm going to break up with Brad." He says. Brad is his boyfriend of one year and a couple of months. I spit and look at my screen.

"Are you serious what happened?"

"He's been acting really weird. I think he's cheating on me."
"What?"

"Yeah. I found a weird number in his phone."
"Really? You shouldn't have been going through his phone."
"I know."

"You have to tell him and then ask him about the number."

"Can you do it."

"How am I going to do that?"

"At lunch today."


"I guess." I say. "You know I don't like getting mixed up in people's relationships, but since it's you, I'll do it." I say. I finish brushing my teeth while he tells me the story when he started going through his phone. I finish in the bathroom and I grab my laptop and walk out. I put my socks and sneakers on. I like these sweat pants because they're not long the elastic band that usually goes around, your ankle comes to right under my knee. I'm dressed and ready to go. "Okay I'm coming to pick you up we can go to Dunkin donuts." I say it's still early. It's 6:35 am and it takes me like ten minutes to get to Josh's house.

"Okay see you soon." He says and his face goes away. I close my laptop and grab my sweater, book bag and keys. I walk out of my room and lock my door. I walk to my car and get in. I start my car and pull out the driveway. I start driving to Josh's house. My phone starts ringing.
"Hello." I say and hook up my phone the radio so I can hear without putting the phone to my ear.
"Hey babe are you feeling any better."
"Yeah, I'm driving to pick up Josh and I'm bringing you a surprise to first block."

"Really can you give me a hint?"

"It's really tasty."


Blueberry muffin from Dunkin Donuts?"

"Maybe."
"Yeah."
"I didn't say it was that."
"Yeah you did."
"Whatever." I say and pull up to Josh standing on the corner waiting for me. He opens the door and gets in. "Babe say hi to Josh." I say.
"Hey Josh." Drew says.
"Hey." Josh says.
"Babe I'll talk to you soon." I say.
"Okay bye." He says and hands up. I start driving again.

"What were you guys talking about?"

"Nothing I was telling him I have a surprise for him."
"Which is."
"A blueberry muffin. Oh did I tell you we have first and second block together."

"You didn't tell me anything."
"Sorry I was going to tell you today." I say.
"Yeah whatever." He says laughing. I pull into Dunkin Donuts and park. We get out and walk up to the counter.
"Hi, how may I help you."

"Hi, can I have a sausage egg and cheese bagel, two blueberry muffins and two coffees with french vanilla and two sugars." I say. I pay her and move over to the side for Josh to order. I think it's funny how, when I don't see Drew I miss him so much. I can't wait to see him. I feel like one of those girlfriends that act like babies and is constantly hugged up with their boyfriends. I don't want to be like that but I like being around him. I don't want to annoy him and take up his time. The girl behind the counter gives us our food. We walk out and get back in my car. I pull off and start down the street. Our school is just five blocks away. It's 6:50 now. I park in the student parking lot and we get out. I grab my book bag from the back and we walk into the school. I hug him bye and I walk to my first block. I sit down in the seat next to Drew's. I start eating my sandwich when some kids walk in. Drew walks in and sits next to me. I hand him the rest of the stuff in the bag and he smiles at me. He kisses me. I can't feel my legs anymore. "Another one." I say and he kisses me again. I can feel we're about to start making out. I pull away and I start eating again.

"Thank you for the muffins." He says.
"Oh that's no problem you brought me a lot of stuff already." I say and break a piece of my sandwich off and hand it to him. "I'm sorry I got sick on you yesterday."

"Don't be. I feel asleep like five minutes after you did." He says and he leans into my ear. "You look beautiful by the way."

"Thanks I'm just wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt."

"So I still think you're beautiful."
"Well thank you, you look handsome today." I say and he starts eating his muffin. I hand him the coffee.

"Thank you babe." He says and drinks some. He makes a face.
"What?"
 "Hot." He says.
"I'm sorry."
"Hey you want to skip."

"Bad influence much. No." I say.
"Why not?"

"Because I already missed one day of school."
"Okay miss goody two shoes."

"Whatever." I say and push him. I finish my food and throw everything away. I walk back over to him and he puts all but one muffin away. "I've never skipped before."

"I know."
"How?"
"I can tell."
"So I don't have to work today."
"My house or yours."
 "I was thinking yours." I say.
"Okay but how are you going to get your car there."
"I will get it there don't worry. At least now you won't have to drive back home from my house alone."
"I like driving you home."
"No you do not."
 "No really, I like driving you home. I know no one is going to bother us it's like our time."

"Yeah." I say.

"Yeah." He says. I like talking to him. Even though we are trying to be quiet and no one can here us I like the whispering. I feel like we have a secret even though we're talking about nothing. He finishes his muffin and throws it away. I look up and notice some girl is staring at me. She notices and looks forward. That was weird. Drew sits down and I look at him.
"Babe do you know that girl up there, third row aisle seat." I say and he turns his head. "Don't look." I say and hit him.
"Then how am I going to see."
"Peripherals." I say and he looks.
"No I don't know her." He says.
"Okay class take out your books." Mr. Reynolds says and I face forward.
