Laying in bed, sick

Jett POV:

I couldn't help but worry all day as I was at the track riding. When I had left my apartment this morning Sammy hadn't been feeling good, but wouldn't let me stay home to be with her. Even last night she had a headache as we laid down, and woke up to it even worse. But this morning she was pale and felt warm to the touch and I could tell with one look at her she felt horrible. But as I head home I stop and get some painkillers and some cheesecake since it was her favorite. I walk in our door and it was silent and none of the lights were on making me sigh as I knew she hadn't gotten up and was probably in bed still. I place the cake in the fridge and head towards our bedroom and peer inside to see her curled into a ball in the middle of our bed with all the curtains drawn. I could feel my heart strings being tugged knowing she had spent all day here by herself sick. I take off my hoodie and pants while making my way to the bed and sit down while gently peeling back the blankets to see her face. Her eyes cracked open and she weakly smiled up at me before curling up to me and hiding her face into my side. I run a hand through her hair and ask,

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

She groaned and mumbles,

"Like shit, the headache isn't as bad now but I got sick twice earlier so maybe that's why. My stomach is still pretty upset, but other than that I'm just tired and achy."

I frowned slightly as I move to lay down next to her, and as I do she climbs on top of me and curls up on my chest making me smile. I wrap my arms around her as we drift off and I hoped that she felt better when she woke up.

At around 8 that night she finally woke up as she had been sleeping next to me with a whimper. I sit up slightly as she does too holding her stomach looking extremely pale. Suddenly she bolts out of bed and into the bathroom making me scramble after her, I enter right as she heaves up whatever was in her which wasn't much. Kneeling down next to her and I just rubbed her back to comfort her the best I could. After a few rounds she shakily reaches up and flushes the toilet as she slowly gets up. I could see she was shaking overall making me hold onto her as she cleaned up and washed her mouth out. When she finished she leaned on the sink with her hands and let's her head hang as she mumbles,

"Being sick sucks. I just want to sleep till it's all over, can I do that?"

My face softens as I hear how desperate she was to get over whatever bug or virus she had. I nod as I kiss her temple and whisper,

"Of course sweetie, sleep as much as you want. I'm not going anywhere."

She turns around and buries herself into my chest as I tighten my arms around her shaking frame and kiss the side of her neck to try and bring her as much comfort as I could. After a few minutes I gently pick her up by her legs as they weakly wrap around my waist as I walk back towards our bed and carefully lay her down and pull the covers up around her. I go to walk away when she reaches out and whimpers,

"Where are you going?"

My heart broke at hearing the normally proud, stubborn, independent woman not want to be left alone. I lean down and kiss her forehead and softly say,

"I'm just going to go get us some water and you some medicine that will hopefully help. I'll be right back I promise."

She looked at me for a second before nodding and letting go to curl back up under the blankets. I bit my lip as I quickly go to the kitchen and grab 2 water bottles and grab a advil and a anti nausea pill and some crackers to take back with me. I kneel down on the floor by her side of the bed and say,

"Sweetie I need you to take some medicine and eat a few crackers for me, think you could do that?"

She didn't move for a few seconds before slowly leaning up onto one elbow and whispers,

"I will try, I just hope I can keep it down long enough for it to help me."

I give her a small smile as she takes the pills and takes them with a sip of water. She closes her eyes for a minute before opening them and slowly eats a few crackers before curling back up. I sigh as I sit the rest of the stuff on her nightstand and get up to climb into bed with her, holding her from behind. I stayed up almost all night watching her and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. We only had three sick moments but luckily she was able to fight most of it back down luckily. As the sun started to rise I felt her start to wake up, with a moan as her back pops making me snicker. She just hits my arm without looking and mutters,

"I'm too tired to kick your ass. But I do feel a bit better, just spent."

I smile as I kiss her softly and mutter,

"Good I'm glad. And honestly so am I, so I vote today is going to be a lazy day and we do nothing but sleep, watch movies, and eat whatever we want."

She looks up at me with a grin as she leans up and kisses me. As we keep giving each other kisses she mumbles,

"I love the sound of that, and maybe tonight I'll pay you back for putting up with all of this, if you're lucky that is."

I roll my eyes with a smirk and say,

"Oh really now? Well, aren't I special."

She just snorted as she buried her face in my neck, and like that we fell back to sleep. And for the rest of the day we just lazed about and it was amazing. And that night was definitely one to remember.
