"Nick, Wake up!" I felt a sharp pain to my face. I jumped up swinging my head wildly from side to side and I tried to take in my surroundings

The Miller family was hovering around me, and they were looking down at me with concern thick in their eyes. I was lying on Mike's bed still disoriented about what happened. That's when Ralph jumped on me and began licking my face

I screamed loudly as I saw the supposed died dog. I began remembering what happened. I saw the shark outside and Ralph's blood was pooled around it. I hate sharks so much. They are my least favorite animal in the world, and they should be hunted into extinction

"Ralph! You're alive!" I quickly embraced the dog

"Do you remember what happened?"

"There was a shark outside and it killed Ralph" tears were threatening to come out of my eyes, but I kept them at bay

"There was no shark. It was just an illusion the rain made because the temperatures out there are nearing below zero" Mr. Miller explain "The human body tends to shut down at the temperature instantly to preserve blood flow to the heart and brain. It's a natural instinct for humans to maintain their life as long as possible in cold temperatures" [All of this is most likely not true. Look it up on Google or something :]

"In short, you fainted because it was cold and thought you saw Ralph die" Mrs. Miller said

"I feel so dumb for over reacting. How long was I out for?"

"Just a day"

"A day?!"

"It takes a long time to recover from such a loss of body heat"

"Mike literally cuddled you back to health. The only times he left the bed was to use the bathroom or to eat. It would have took much longer for you to heal if he hadn't, even though there were probably better methods" I turned to look at Mike who's face was really red right now

"I'm just glad we rescued Ralph in time"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Ralph was in the basement the whole time sleeping"

"So I almost died for nothing? That's nice to know" I grumbled

"We did make breakfast because we knew you would be too tired to cook anything"

"What did you guys make me?" I've never seen Dawn or Mike in the kitchen before to do anything but eat. I'm scared to see what mess they made for the sake of my happiness

"Toast with orange juice" they said proudly "There was cereal too but Mike added milk so it's extremely soggy"

"I thought he would wake up sooner" Mike whined

"It's the thought that counts" I laughed at and began eating the food. It wasn't much but the fact that it was made by my two favorite people is what made it taste good. I thanked them for the food and everyone but Mike left the room so I could get some more rest

"Do you feel better?"

"Much better. Especially since we're all alone with no one to bother us"

"Do you want to..." Mike's face became heated and he turned his face away from me in attempt to stop me from noticing

"Yes Mike" I pulled him into a kiss "But not right now"

"Why?"

"Because all I want to do is cuddle with you" I pulled myself into Mike's chest and he wrapped his arms around my waist

"Wake up! Dinner's ready!" Dawn peeked his head through the door and announced to us

I got excited at the mention of food but Mike wouldn't release me. I hate how he is stronger than me
