Accidentally In Love

Chapter Five

Addison's POV

Rolling over in my bed, I groaned. The headache had reappeared, my throat hurt every time I swallowed, and I felt like I was on fire. I threw the covers off of me, trying to cook myself off.

"Mom," I yelled. It was nice that I still had my voice.

"What's wrong, honey?" My mom said coming into my room.

"I'm still not feeling well." She placed her hand to my forehead and sighed.

"It looks like the fever came back. Do you have an upset stomach?" I shook my head. "You're obviously not going to school like this. We need to break the fever. Drink lots of fluids, mainly water. There's still ginger ale left in the fridge if you get sick of water."

"Thanks mom," I said as she walked out of my room. I turned my tv on, flipping through the channels. I didn't care how hot and gross I got today, I would not be taking a shower. I didn't want a replay of yesterday. I grabbed my phone off the night stand, deciding to text Ryker.

Addison- not going to school, again. Take notes for me xoxo

It didn't take long for Ryker to respond. That was one thing I loved about him.

Ryker- no worries. I'll bring your homework after school. Feel better😘

I smiled. He always knew how to make me feel better, even though I could feel the pounding headache shortly after. I adjusted my pillows so I could see the TV, and laid back on my bed. This is going to be a long day.

Ryker's POV

"Okay, class. Today we learn about the different options you have for protecting yourself, and the plans you have in case something unexpected happens." I groaned. Why couldn't Addison be here? She made this class interesting. "Ladies, I'm sure you have all heard about birth control." There were collective groans from the class. Glad I'm not the only one feeling like this.

"Can we just skip over the sex talk, Proudy? We all know about it," Peyton said, looking over at me and winking. I rolled my eyes, focusing back to the teacher.

"No, Peyton, we can't. As I was saying, there are many different types of birth control. You can take the pills, get a shot, or get internal kinds." I could tell by the way Proudy kept whipping the sweat off of his face that he really didn't enjoy talking about this either. I shifted uncomfortably in my chair, knowing I was being watched. This girl just doesn't get the hint. I jotted down some of the notes that Proudy had written on the board when my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Peyton- my place after school?

I sighed, choosing to ignore the message. Who knew that the popular girl would be so fucking clingy. I wasn't even dating her. She was just a casual hookup that hasn't happened very often recently. Yes, Peyton took my virginity, teaching me everything I now know, but the older she got, the more annoying she was, and I just couldn't handle it anymore. One more class, was all I could think about as I watched the clock.

Addison's POV

I tossed and turned most of the day, not being able to get comfortable what so ever. I was hot, then I was cold. I had gone back and forth with the blankets on my bed for a good three hours. I wish this would just go away. As I laid in bed, watching Criminal Minds, I remembered that I was suppose to hang out with Elijah tonight. Shit. Thank you sickness for ruining everything I look forward to. I grabbed my phone, pulling up the website and typing a quick message.
