Living, Loving, and All Of The Above

Chapter 7

I carefully walked through the living room and into Matt's. I slowly opened the door and peeked in to see if he was sleeping. He was. It was three in the morning so I didn't know why I was questioning it. My reason for being awake was just that. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd creep into Matt's room and sleep there. Which I did do, I tried to walk around and avoid the messy floor. Which ended up harder than planned. He had clothes thrown on the floor and textbooks and plates. No wonder he could never find anything.

I pushed the messiness out of head and crawled under his covers, and finally fell asleep. Only to be woken up a couple hours later by Matt.

"Babe, babe get up. You're burning up." He said as he shook me.

"What?" I asked slowly waking up. But as I spoke, I felt my throat burn up and my mouth was all dry.

"You have a fever." He told me, "I brought you some water. And I'm gonna go tell Cole. Okay?"

I nodded and took the water. It felt cool as it passed down my throat. When I was done I placed the cup on his bed stand, rolled over, and pulled his covers over my head. His sheets smelled clean and like him. He had probably just washed them by the smell of it. And I wasn't going to leave them.

"Kat. How are you doing?" He asked as he lightly closed the door.

"You're attractive." I replied.

"Haha, you are a little delutional. You need to go back to sleep. I'm gonna go get you some soup."

"Matt," I said as I patted his cheek, "I feel very, very..." But I didn't finish my sentence because I wad too tired to.

Matt and Cole had moved me to my own bed half way through Sunday.

Since it wasn't good for Matt to sleep next to me. And since he had to wash his sheets, it was better to move me. I pretended to be asleep the whole time. Since if they knew I was awake then they'd make me walk to my bed. And if I had known walking was better than what they put me through, I would have. Cole had called the school to say I wasn't going to be attending for what seemed to be the up coming week or so. Matt was considering staying home with me so he wouldn't have to get his math project, and even though I would have loved to have a servant, he had to go. If not for school then for soccer practice.

So it was Monday morning and I was home alone, hibernating in my bed. I was just falling asleep, when the land line rang. Which was odd since we only selected people knew the land line, everyone else called us individually on our cells. So I stumbled out of bed and towards the phone which flashed Forester Academy. And then I froze, that was Hero's school. I picked up the the phone immediately.

" Hello" I asked with panic in my voice.

"Hi is this the Johansen residence?" The lady asked.

"Um, yeah, in a way. What is this call regarded to?" I asked.

"I'm calling to tell you that there is a parent teacher confrence for Ashford Johansen."

"Okay, thank you." I told her.

"Also, would this happen to also be the Burnstean residence?" She asked.

"Yes, it's complicated, why?"

"Well, there is also another parent teacher conference for Hero Burnstean."

"Okay well thank you. And I will be sure to get the information across." I told her.

"Okay, good bye."

"Good bye."

And after I hung up, I had some calls to make, the first one was to my dad.
