You and me - Chris Sturniolo

Sick

I wake up and feel myself starting to throw up so I run into my bathroom and puke

I wipe my mouth and walk back out to my bed

I pick up my phone and it's only 2:12am

I cover up in my blankets and try to go back to sleep but keep sweating

I change into shorts and a lace bra and get back in bed but with a thinner blanket

I try to sleep again but now I have chills

I try one more time to go to sleep with a couple thin blankets and just about fall asleep when I hear a faint sound outside

I sit up and cover my eyes and decide to stay up and I post on my story

I set down my phone and lay against my backboard and keep my eyes closed

I mustve fallen in some sort of light sleep because I could hear everything but I ended up opening my eyes after a few hours and it was light out

I stand up and walk downstairs wrapped in my blanket

"Mom" I groan

"What's wrong honey?" She asks

"I feel hot and cold and I threw up at 2am" I sniffle

"You probably have covid again or a fever"

She places the back of her hand on my forehead

"You have a fever, no going out til your better" she states and igo up to my room

I drop my blanket after closing my door and go In to my bathroom

I brush my teeth and wash my face then get in bed

Chris texts me

Chris: your sick?

Me: mhm

Chris: I can come over

Me: no you'll get sick

Chris: I don't care

Me: Chris no don't come over

Chris: why not

Me: you'll

Me: get

Me: sick

Chris: I don't care yn

Me: DONT.
Read 8:12am

I luckily end up falling asleep for a few hours and wake up st around 11am or 12pm

I hear talking downstairs and get out of bed

I slide on a fresh love hoodie that I always wear, put the hood up and put my hands in the pockets

"Mom?" I groan and walk down the stairs and peek into the kitchen

My mom turns to me

"Hey sweetheart! Chris came over to make you soup for your fever" She says enthusiastically

I give Chris a look and walk up next to him

"I told you to stay home" I whisper

"I said no" he answers pulling the pot off the stove and set it on a coaster thing

My mom pulls out two bowls and Chris pours some chicken noodle soup into both and puts the pot onto a not-hot part of the stove

I get us spoons and go back up to my room without Chris

I get in my bed and cross my legs setting the bowl infront of me

I sip some of the broth from my spoons and Chris comes through the door and shut it behind him

"Hey b" he sets his bowl on my desk and sits at my chair

I don't respond and take a few noodles and eat them

"Ok" he answers himself

"Why did you come" I said in a raspy voice

"I care about you" he answered

"You gonna get sick" I drank more broth

"I don't care" he states

We finish eating and I set my bowl next to his and lay down

Chris climbs into bed and faces the back of me, spooning me

He holds onto my waist and pulls me to him

He drapes his arm over my waist and I hold onto it and we fall asleep
