The next morning, it feels like I'm dying.

I can't even get up to look after mom.

Everything hurts and don't even get me started on my night. I couldn't sleep for more than three hours.

I threw up three times, and I'm pretty sure I have a fever.

I never get sick! I can't believe this.

I called Twyla to inform her I absolutely won't be able to work today.

And now I'm lying here in bed, thinking about if I should end my horrible suffering.

I. Hate. Being. Sick.

I call Theo and Aiden.

"Hey Azzie! How are you?"

"I'm dying. I-"

"What?!" Aidens frantic voice cuts in, "What is wrong?!"

"What's going on? Are you okay Azzie?" Theo cuts in.

"Okay okay, maybe I'm not literally dying! But I feel like I am okay?"

I hear them both exhale.

"Okay, we're coming." I hear Aiden say.

"Wait wait wait no-" but they already hang up on me.

Are you kidding me?!
I don't want them to come, and see the mess that is me right now.
Especially not Aiden!

Not even ten minutes later the doorbell rings.

I force myself to get up and open the door.

"Damn you look like shit." Aiden says, Theo nods in agreement and I close the door again. "No, wait. I'm sorry!"

I'm still trying to close the door. I really don't need Aiden's insults right now.

"Azzie, we're sorry! Come on, let us in!"

I roll my eyes and open the door.

They both enter and I walk back towards the bed, because I really can't keep standing.
But on the way there, I start swaying.
Before I hit the ground, I feel Aiden grab me.
He carries me towards the bed.

Theo comes with a wet cloth, probably for my fever.
He touches his hand to my forehead and hisses.

"What?" Aiden snaps.

"Az, you're hot as hell," I smirk and hum in agreement, but apparently Theo is not in the mood for a little joke. "Az, you have to go to the doctor." I immediately start to shake my head.

"Okay let's get her into the car." Aiden grabs me but I push him off.
"Azalea! You have to go to the doctor." he states but I just keep shaking my head, which is stupid because my head hurts sooo bad.

"No!"

"What do you mean no? Of course we'll go. Now stop being a, stubborn shit and come with me."

"No."

"Azalea."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Get up."

"No."

"I gave more you more than enough chances." He says before putting one hand under my knees, the other one on my back and pulls me close to his chest, carrying me to the car.

"Aiden, please! I really don't want to."

"Why? Don't tell me you're scared of needles." He huffs annoyed.
