==================

Fifty-four

The moment I wake up from my alarm, I immediately feel like utter crap. I feel my head throbbing, my throat feels sore and my muscles ache. I turn my alarm off with a groan, having a sudden urge to cry. There's no way I can go to school today. I sit up against the headboard and pull out my laptop from the bedside table. As soon as I open it, the bright light makes my head throb even more, a painful groan coming out of my mouth.

"What are you doing?" I hear a sleepy Jasmine ask from beside me. I turn my head to look at her, a smile immediately forming onto my face, despite how crap I feel right now. She yawns and sits up, leaning her head against my arm, looking at my screen.

"I have to email the principal." My voice comes out croaky, my face cringing from the discomfort.

"Whoa, are you sick?" She asks, pressing her hand against my forehead. "Shit, you're boiling hot."

"Why, thank you," I give her a wink, playfully flipping my hair. Jaz lets out a light laugh before turning serious again.

"Harry, you cannot go to school today, you will make yourself even sicker and probably get the kids sick too."

"Jaz," I calmly say, "I know, that's why I'm emailing the principal. I'm calling in sick for today and tomorrow, and I'm also sending her the lesson plans for the substitute teacher."

"Ohh," She sheepishly smiles at me. I give her a smile, thinking how adorable her concern was.

As soon as I press send, I close my laptop and put it back on the table before closing my eyes. I feel so drained of energy, all I want to do is go to sleep. But I can't sleep. I have to wake Ella up, make her lunch and then drop her off at school. I let out a groan even though that doesn't help with my throat.

"Do you want me to make you some tea, babe?" She asks me, softly kissing my cheek.

"Yes, please, if that's not too much of a hassle."

"Of course, it isn't." She immediately says, giving me another kiss before climbing out of the bed and slipping on sweats. "I'll be back in a bit." She smiles and leaves the room.

I lay back down against the pillows, my eyes closing shut as I think of how lucky I am to have Jaz in my life. Before I know it, Jasmine is back with a cup of tea in her hands. I sit back up as Jasmine carefully hands it to me.

"Thank you so much, babe," I smile at her, carefully taking a sip. The hot tea slightly burns my tongue but I don't care since I could feel it instantly soothing my throat.

"It's okay. But be careful, it's really hot." I nod at her and blow the liquid to cool it down a bit before taking another sip. Jasmine crawls into bed beside me, snuggling into my chest. The warmth from her body radiates onto mine, my insides feeling whole.

"It's crazy how fast this school year is going by, exams are already next week and I'm going to graduate next month." She whispers, watching me as I drink more of my tea.

"Yeah, I agree," I smile at her, "I'm so proud of you, we all are— Gemma, Alex, Mum and Robin. We're all going to cheer for you on your graduation day with Lauren." She smiles, kissing my cheek.

"Thank you, that means a lot." I finish with my tea, setting the mug on the table beside me. A groan comes out of my mouth from my aching arm and back. "What's wrong?"
