Don't Leave, Please

Feelings

Cathy and Lance were both asleep. Jack and Bozer were at Macs house.

"Mac," Bozer looked at his friend, "What's with that smile on your face?"

"It's nothing." Mac sat down on the sofa.

"I've seen that look before." Jack pointed at Mac. "Is this about Cathy?" Jack smiled.

Mac sighed and tried to hide his smile.

"I knew it!" Bozer laughed, "I knew you'd fall for Cathy!"

"Guys stop!" Mac whispered, "I don't want them to wake up."

Jack and Bozer chuckled.

"When are you gonna say something to her?" Jack smiled.

Mac sighed.

"I should've never said anything."

The group started laughing.

"Mac." Cathy coughed.

As Mac look towards her, his eyes widened.

"Cathy!" Mac ran to her side and caught her in his arms.

Cathy's side was all bloody. Blood soaked her shirt red.

Mac's eyes filled with tears.

"Mac." Cathy slurred. Her eyes fluttered. "Mac, help me, please."

Mac was confused. He couldn't think of anything to do, to help.

"Mac...." Cathy's eyes closed. Her breathing stopped.

"Cath-Cathy." Mac let the tears fall. "Cathy!"

Mac quickly sat up on the sofa. His breaths came out quick, then he calmed down.

"Just a dream." He said to himself.

Mac got off the sofa and went to check on Cathy and Lance.

Cathy was peacefully sleeping. Lance was snuggled up next to her.

Mac smiled and closed the door softly.

"How am I gonna tell her?" Mac said to himself, "what if she doesn't feel the same about me?"

Mac shook his head and went back to sleep on the sofa.

"Mac." Lance tugged on his shirt, "somethings wrong with Cathy."

Mac and Lance made their way towards Mac's room.

Cathy was lying in bed. The covers off of her. Her forehead shiny from sweat. Her hair was matted to her forehead.

"Lance," Cathy groaned, "you didn't have to get Mac sweetheart."

Lance only smiled and walked out of the room.

"What's wrong with you?" Mac said as he walked over to Cathy's side and placed his hand to her forehead.

"I think I may be sick." Cathy coughed.

"You do have a fever." Mac said as he took his hand back. "Don't worry, Lance and I will take good care of you." Mac winked and walked out of the room.

Cathy chuckled.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Mac asked Cathy as she shuffled out into the living room.

"I don't want to lay in bed all day." Cathy coughed.

"But you're sick." Mac walked up to Cathy. "I'm not letting you walk any further."

Cathy sighed.

"Fine, I'll go back to bed."

"Thank you." Mac smiled.

It was day 5, and Cathy was already feeling better.

"Mac," Cathy sighed angrily, "I'm fine now! Can I please get out of bed!"

Mac looked at Cathy and smiled.

Cathy grabbed a pillow and threw it at Macs face.

"Dork." Cathy muttered underneath her breath.

Mac laughed and shook his head.

He definitely has something for Cathy.
