1.1

Well the guys were right. I did look under the weather yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling like absolute shit. I'm laying in bed with my laptop, tissues, and water bottles all on my bed.

I was cold as hell and I felt like I could die at any minute.

The guys quarantined me in my own bedroom since they didn't want to get sick. Toby and Eric actually went back to Australia while Mason had a week left here in New Zealand. Cam and Mason left to go get my moms special chicken noodle soup for me that she was making since she heard I was sick. But she can't be near me because of her low immune system. If she got just the slightest cold she would have to be rushed to the hospital because of how sick she already is.

There was a knock on my door.

"Come in" my throat was completely fucked and dry. My door opened revealing Mason with a bowl full of soup. "Hey.. you feeling any better?" He hands me the bowl after I sit up and adjust myself. "Not really... sorry... I know we were gonna go out tonight" I sigh "it's fine we still have time to go somewhere. I can wait till you're better" he smiles at me.

I take a sip of my soup feeling my throat instantly feel better. I missed my moms cooking. "Thank you Mason" I say "you sound better already, we will be on that date in no time" I felt my heart race faster "it's a- a date?" I stutter feeling my face heat up. "Well yeah I mean if you want it to be one" I heard the worry in his voice and I just smile "yeah that'd be really nice" I said and his body relaxed and he sighed

"I thought I was being a cunt and getting the wrong signals from you" he laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck. "Well. I'll allow you to rest." He rubs my leg and gets up exiting my bedroom.

He asked me out on a date not just to go out. Man... am I really that stupid?

I finished my soup and shut my laptop setting both down on my bedside table. I should get some rest, the more rest I get the faster I get better. Sinking down more into my sheets I curl in a ball and close my eyes.

"Psst Phoenix..." I heard someone whisper my name and I look to see Cameron in front of my face wearing a doctor mask the room was darker than it was before I fell asleep. "What do you want?" I yawn and he back up a little bit standing up "put this on and meet me at the front door" he leaves closing the door behind him. I turn on my lamp and see what he put on my bed.

It was Masons jumper and sweatpants along with one of those doctor masks.

I shrugged and slipped off what I had on and put on the clothes Cameron had given me. I went into my bathroom and began to brush my hair and teeth.

When I walked out Cameron was waiting their on his phone. He handed me some slippers and opened the front door motioning me to head out. Checking the time on my phone it was 7:32. Where are we going? Doctors?

I walked out and he locked the door behind us and made our way to the lobby.

Once we got inside his car he pulled out of the parking lot and started driving. As we drove all of this felt too familiar. He pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park. "Get out" he said "what?" I looked at him "get out" he unlocked the car.

I almost couldn't believe my ears "are you actually serious?" I felt angry why was he gonna leave me out here sick and cold. "Yes get the fuck out" he was pushing me and I opened the door and slammed it shut seeing him drive away.

"Whore..." I huffed looking around me.

It looks familiar. I turned around and see lights starting to light up forming a path. "What the fuck?" Like every white woman in the movies I followed the strange shit that could possibly kill me.

Following the path I came to a clearing but not just any clearing. The clearing that Mason and I first had a special moment together. Someone behind me covered my eyes I felt panicked "guess who" a thick Australian accent said from behind me making me smile. "What are you doing?" I asked turning around seeing him wearing a doctors mask as well. "Shh let me do this" he picks me up bridal style and takes me further into the clearing on the edge of the cliff.

He sets me down and I noticed a blanket on the ground with some candles around it "wow how original" - "shut up cunt I know it's cheesy" he laughs and sits down and I do as well. "I brought food but I didn't know if you'd be hungry" he points to a basket and I shake my head "I'm still full from the soup but thanks" I smile even though he couldn't see it.

I scoot closer to him and we lay down looking at the stars.

"I love night time. This view... space has always been my escape." I sigh laying my head on his chest "whys that?" His chest hummed as he spoke "I mean... nights were always the hardest for me to sleep so I'd always go on the roof and look up at the stars. I took astronomy in school. Cameron knows how much passion I put towards space, I wanted to be an astronomer and I still do I just don't have the money to go to college for it" I said and we both stayed silent.

"Hey look it's Capricorn. See the two points at the top and connecting down below? And just below that is Carina." - "what's Carina?" He asked but he probably want interested. "Well Carina is Latin for the keel of the ship. It was a big constellation once it was apart of the Argo Navis constellation but that divided into three other constellations. Puppis being the poop deck and vela being the sails of the ship. As you can tell the Argo Navis was a ship and those where the pieces to it. Argo Navis was the ship of Jason and the argonauts trying to find the Golden Fleece" I finished and I felt him chuckle a bit. I sit up looking at him "what? Was that too much?" I felt insecure for a second, maybe I nerded out too much.

He sits up and brushes some hair out of my face. He takes his mask off and looks at me "I thought it was cute. I'm glad you take interest into something that makes you happy..." he takes off my mask "...which is why I take interest in you" he cups my face and pulls me in for a kiss.

I felt taken back for a second but then melted into his arms kissing him back.

I want to be with him. He makes everything seem alright when it's fucked. I'm falling for him each and everyday....
