You flush the toilet and put your hand on your forehead

It's your fourth day of a stomach bug, you spend your days in the bathroom or in your bed

You go to your kitchen and drink a large glass of water before settling on your sofa with a washcloth on your forehead

You fall asleep after long minutes but your bell wakes you up, you decide to be deaf and not to get up

But the person behind the door doesn't seem to understand the message because he keeps pressing on the bell, you sigh and get up

You open the door and come face to face with Jacob, your rival in school, he holds a bouquet of flowers in his hands and a medicine bag in the other, he has a stupid smile

"What are you doing here?" you ask by quickly putting yourself behind the door to hide

"I heard you were sick" he says, showing you his medicine bag, he goes into your apartment and goes to the kitchen He takes off his jacket while taking out full of medicine, he puts the flowers in a vase and invites you to sit on your sofa

You don't even think about him and all his gestures, you settle down but a urge to vomit takes hold of you as you rush to the toilet

Barely a few seconds Jacob joins you and crouch behind you, he holds your hair in his hand and caresses your back while you vomit

"I can contaminate you" you say by putting your head on the toilet bowl

He passes a towel along your mouth and jaw smiling "I don't care" he simply answers

You stay with your head in the toilet for half an hour, once you feel better, he carries you to the living room, he lays you down on him and caresses you to make you fall asleep

"Thank you" you say trembling slightly against him

He puts a firm hand against your back and you relax directly "I'm here angel, just rest" he says kissing your shoulder
