• Chapter two •

Robin's POV

I woke up pretty much laying on top of Steve. We only had one couch and there was four people sleeping on it. Room was minimal.

Poor Eddie, Nancy's elbow was pretty much inside his rib cage.

I was able to slide off of the couch without waking anyone up, I was on my way to the bathroom when I noticed how sore my throat still felt.

I used the washroom and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.

After a little while of sitting at the kitchen table alone, I realized that how shitty I felt wasn't just from waking up.

It felt like something was trying to rip me from the inside out.

I walked back upstairs to grab the cough medicine from the coffee table, when I had another coughing fit.

My knees buckled and I couldn't breathe, my cough was getting worse by the minute.

Apparently, I had woken everyone up and they all rushed to my side to make sure I was okay.

Steve grabbed me a glass of water when all of a sudden, he fell to his knees coughing too.

The glass shattered all over the floor, scaring both Eddie and Nancy.

After we had gotten our coughing under control, the other two lead us to our beds, giving us water, tea, soup and cough medicine.

I fell asleep to the sound of glass being swept up right outside my bedroom door.

***
When I woke up, I woke up in another coughing fit, it seemed to be the afternoon and I had a huge headache.

I waited for the coughing to die down and I walked out into the living room to see the entire group, including Steve, gathered around.

Steve looked like he had just gotten up out of bed and the rest of the group was watching a movie.

I forgot that today was movie day. Once a week we got together and binged watched tons of movies all day long.

I walked further into the room to see who all was here.

I saw Nancy, Eddie, Max, Lucas, Erica, Dustin, Will, Mike, Argyle, Jonathan, El and of course, Steve. They looked like they were watching The Goonies.

I started to have a coughing fit, which alerted everyone that I was there. Dustin paused the TV and grabbed me a glass of water that had been sitting out on the coffee table, but it would do.

"How you feelin', Buckley?" Eddie asked.

"Like absolute shit" I replied.

"Same" Steve stated.

I realized that I didn't have the energy to stand for much longer and I sat next to Steve, cuddling into his side and slipping under his blanket.

After the movie had finished, Nancy asked Steve and I how we were feeling, we responded with the same answers as before.

We had been coughing all throughout the movie, which earned us some glares from Jonathan.

Typically I would've expected that from Mike, but ever since he had met Argyle, he'd gotten pretty chill.

"Do you need anything?" Nancy asked.

"No, I think I'm gonna have a shower though" I was able to spit out.

For the past hour or so, i found it had been painful for me to talk, it was the same with Steve.

After yet another coughing fit, I got in the shower and was able to wash some of the gross feelings off of me.

I had gotten out of the shower and I was half dressed when I got really dizzy and saw all white, then nothing.

There I was, passed out on the bathroom floor in my sweatpants and bra like an idiot.
