When I'm With You

Chapter five

"get up we're gonna be late!" Jordan yells at his sister who has yet to get out of bed since they got home from her competition two days ago. Macy wakes up from her deep sleep and finds herself drenched in sweat and still feeling like she hadn't slept in days.

"I can't I'm too tired" she says wiping off the sweat from her face and neck, the girl falls back into a peaceful slumber when her door opens waking her up once again, this time her mother being the culprit. Camille walks in with a thermometer in hand and shoves it into her daughter's mouth while also feeling her head.

"you're burning up there's no way you're going to school today" she says putting a cold towel onto Macy's head, then the timer goes off and she pulls out the thermometer which confirms her thoughts.

"you have a fever, now get dressed and you're dad will take you to the doctor, I can't miss another day for this" she says. Macy groans and throws the covers back over her head wanting nothing more than to drift off back into her dreamland. 

"now Macy" her mom says popping back into the room, slowly she stands to her feet and gets ready for her appointment. By the time she's done Macy walks downstairs to the kitchen to see her mom being her normal control freak self.

"make sure you tell them about her allergy to pistachios and also don't forget to have blood tests done just in case because we haven't done any in 8 months, also ask about that bruise she's got on her arm it's pretty bad. You know what it's fine I'll just call the school and find a sub" her mother rambles she pauses and sighs as Kevin places a hand on her cheek. 

"I don't know Kevin I just have a bad feeling about this"

"Camille stop, everything fine, I can take her you go to work and have a great day ok? Ok" her dad says walking her mom out the door, then he returns back into the house a few minutes later and walks over to his daughter's sickly form.

"ok let's wait a couple of minutes for her to leave so we don't get caught in another control attack" Macy laughs and sits down at the dining room table and shivers due to how cold she is.

    "you know she only acts that way because she cares" 

    "yeah I know but sometimes it's just too much" 

    "yeah you aren't wrong, but hey at least nobody in this house will ever be late or forget anything" 

"yeah or leave the house without ironed clothes and matching socks" she says laughing along with him, the two get into the car and Macy turns on the heat as soon as it starts making her dad send a weird look her way.

"dude its 70 degrees out"

"well I'm freezing" she replies, curling up and leaning her head on the window trying to get some more rest. Before she knew it they had arrived at the office and she was helping her dad fill out the paperwork and laughed a bit when he added pistachios to the allergies list. Then her name is called and they walk back into the room and Macy looks around starting to get nervous, she's always hated doctors. Her dad lays a hand on her shoulder and tells her to relax, and she does until the doctor walks in, she asks all of the normal questions and then gets to why they are visiting today. 

"she has a fever and she's been sweating and then freezing she's also been sleeping for the past two days" her dad answers, Macy sends him a nod thanking him for answering for her

"ok well let's get your blood pressure" she says and takes out the device and wraps it around her shirt, once she gets the pressure she notices Macy's bruise on her arm

    "wow thats a good one what happened?" the doctor asks

    "oh I actually don't know it just kinda showed up" 

"ok well I think you just have a fever, and you just need to stay home relax take some hot showers and baths and you should be fine, I would also recommend-" the doctor stops and Macy notices her eyes on her arm. The doctor touches where the blood pressure machine had been and there is the outline of a small bruise along her arm forming.

"do you also bruise easily?" she asks

"no I don't think so I mean I'm a dancer so my body takes a lot of hits" she replies, Macy looks over at her dad who has a blank look on his face and she starts to feel worried

"ok sweetie I'm gonna order a blood test just to make sure everything is ok" the doctor says before walking out of the room. Macy sends a worried look to her father and then a man walks in holding the supplies to draw blood. Once he's done the two leave knowing that the results will be in within the next three days. After her dad takes her home and goes to work Macy goes straight to bed and falls asleep without a second thought. All of her worries and stresses disappear as she dreams about the two gorgeous men fighting for her love.
