Medicine

Gracies POV (7 Years Old)

"Jay" I whined as I walked in to the kitchen and wrapped my arms around his waist "I don't feel good" I told him and he frowned,

"What's the matter" he asked concerned,

"I feel super warm and achy" I told him and he put his hand on my forehead,

"You feel a bit warm" he commented "go sit down on the sofa and I'll get the thermometer" he told me before disappearing to the bathroom and returning a few seconds later with the thermometer "open" he instructed as he held it in front of my mouth expectantly and placing it under my tongue and waiting for the beep before taking it out "your temperature is a little high" he told me "do you feel sick?" He asked me and I shook my head "I'll get Will to pick up some medicine on the way home" he told me and I wrinkled my nose in disgust,

"It's fine I think I'm better now" I lied and he raised an amused eyebrow at me,

"I don't think so Gracie" he laughed "you need medicine so you don't get any sicker" he explained and I huffed in defeat,

"Can I watch Tangled?" I asked and my brother nodded,

"Sure" he told me as he flicked the TV on and found the film for me "if you start to feel worse tell me ok" he said and I nodded silently.

Halfway through the movie Will returned home and walked over to me,

"Hey sweetie" he greeted "how're you feeling?" He asked me as he lent down and put his hand on my forehead "you're a little hot" he frowned and I nodded,

"I feel to warm and my body is achey" I informed and he nodded and looked at his watch,

"Ok, you can have some medicine now and have another one before bed" he said as he pulled a box out of his bag,

"Can't I just not have the medicine? It'll probably go on it's own after a while" I pleaded,

"No Gracie you need to take the medicine" he replied and I cried slightly,

"I don't wanna" I cried and Will sighed,

"I know you don't like it baby girl, nobody does. But you need to take it to make you feel better" he explained as he removed the bottle from the box and looked for a spoon in the draw,

"I don't care. I'll stay poorly then" I stated as I stood up and attempted to make an escape to my bedroom. Unfortunately for me Jay chose this moment to enter the room and he soon put a stop to my escape,

"Where're you going kid?" He asked with a frown and Will spoke up instead,

"She's trying to escape from taking her medicine" he told Jay who looked at me understandably,

"C'mon Gracie" he insisted "let's just get it over with then it's done" he compromised but I shook my head and make a second attempt to leave. Jay hooked his hands under my arms and picked me up off the floor, much to my displeasure. I wriggled around but Jays hold on me was to strong for me to get out of. He sat down on one of the kitchen chairs and sat me on his lap holding me firmly in place and Will walked over with the disgusting looking liquid on the spoon,

"Noooo" I cried as I shook my head and tried even harder to get away from Jay,

"Look Gracie it will be over really quick and you can have a drink of juice right after" he Will told me but I kept my mouth firmly shut,

"Candy" I bargained and Will looked at me unimpressed,

"You're not having can-" Jay cut Will off before he could deny my request,

"Fine you can have candy" Jay caved and Will gave him an angry look that he ignored "let's just get this over with yeah" he said and I begrudgingly began to open my mouth. As soon as my mouth opened Will wasted no time in putting the spoon in and my nose instantly wrinkled in disgust and my natural reaction was to try and spit it out. I guess Jay had read my mind because before I had the opportunity to do that he firmly covered my mouth with his hand causing me to make some fairly strange noises of displeasure "just swallow it and you won't taste it anymore" he bargained and I shook my head,

"C'mon Gracie, it you spit it out then you're gonna have to do it again" Will stated and I begrudgingly swallowed down the liquid,

"Is it gone?" Jay asked and I nodded "promise?" He asked again and I nodded in confirmation. Jay moved his hand from my mouth and I opened my mouth to prove that it was gone,

"Good girl" Will praised as he put the spoon in the sink,

"Can I have candy now?" I asked as I moved my tongue around my mouth in an attempt to get rid of the taste,

"Yes you can" Jay allowed "but only one" he stated and I nodded.
