Mariella: I'm fine. How did you find out?

Tyler: I called Sawyer to see if he wanted to do a collab video and he told me what happened.

Mariella: Oh, well I'm alright.

Tyler: Good! I'm coming over right now.

Mariella: But, I'm not at home and I don't want to get you sick.

Tyler: I know, you're at his place. Don't worry. I want to make sure Sawyer's not making you worse.

Mariella: Uhhh, okay.

Tyler: Be there in a few!

I hang up, looking at the screen. I had received a text from Veronica.

[Veronica]- Thanks for letting me know you fainted at work! I got a call from some girl named Claire asking how you were doing. Are you okay? I already went and picked up my car. Where are you?!

Crap! I forgot to call her. I quickly dial her number.

Veronica: Now you decide to call?!

Mariella: Veronica, I'm sorry!

Veronica: Nevermind that! Are you alright??

Mariella: I'm fine. Sawyer was at the Cafe when I passed out. I've been at his place the whole time.

Veronica: Thank god! Do you need me to come and get you?

Mariella: Tyler's on his way over. I'll get him to take me home later.

Veronica: Alright. I'm glad you're okay. Hey, did you get the chance to talk to Sawyer?

Knocking echoes through the apartment.

Mariella: I have to go, Tyler's here. I'll tell you later!

I hang up, tossing my phone onto the bed. I reach the front door, slowly opening it.

Tyler: Hey..

He slightly frowns, enveloping me in a hug.

Tyler: Girl, you're warm!

He places his hand on my forehead.

How am I still warm?! I don't even feel that bad.

Mariella: Last time I checked, my fever was 101.

Tyler: Get back in bed!

He lightly pushes me towards Sawyer's room.

Mariella: Alright, alright! I'm going.

I climb back into bed, grasping my phone.

Mariella: Does Sawyer know you're here?

Tyler: I may or may not have told him I was stopping by.

I chuckle. I love Tyler and Sawyer's relationship.

Tyler: You taking any medicine?

Mariella: No. But, Sawyer went out to get some.

Tyler: No wonder you still have a fever!

Mariella: He told me to keep this wet washcloth on my head.

He shakes his head.

Tyler: He's hopeless..

Mariella: At least he's trying!

His face lit up with surprise.

Tyler: Wow! So quick to defend him.. What's going on between you two??

What did I say? Geez.. Tyler catches on quick.

Mariella: N-nothing.

Tyler: Girl! I knew something was up the minute he said you were at his place resting.

I shrug.

Mariella: What?? He was at the Cafe when I fainted. I can't help that he was conveniently there!

He smirks, raising an eyebrow.

Mariella: Fine! We like each other.

He snaps his finger.

Tyler: I knew it! Now you're dating?!

Mariella: No.

He raises an eyebrow.

Tyler: What? Why not?

Mariella: Sawyer needs time. We already talked about this and I understand.

Tyler: Oh, I see. Does Veronica know?

Mariella: I told her a little. But, she doesn't know I love-...

I pause.

Tyler: Oh? Love, huh?

I didn't mean to say that!

Mariella: Uh, Y- yeah..

He lights up.

Tyler: Don't worry! I won't say a word.

He grins, cheerfully. I playfully hit his arm, because I know what he's thinking.

Tyler: Ow, what?!

I giggle. Somewhere in my mind I start to think of Joey. I wonder?

Mariella: Hey, did you know Meghan and Joey are together?

Tyler: What?!

Guess he didn't.
