Emily's POV
'Aaaaand today is a new day ... oh who am I kidding I'm tired, I have a headache and I've been throwing up all night and I'm supposed to do this online class today with collage so they can get 'physical proof' that we're doing our work stupid collage'

I basically stumble upstairs in my pyjamas with my phone in my pocket and earphones in my hand and I hear dad leave the living room
"Alright come on kids let's go"
I then start coughing and lean against the door frame. Everyone freezes for a second before my arm is over teddy's shoulder and I'm lying on the couch with my family leaning over me as I mumble
"Geez I'm only Ill I'm not dying"
Gabe then moves from above me
"Well she's fine"
I then start coughing again as he shrugs
"Ok maybe not"
dad then puts his hand on my head before quickly removing it
"Oh sweetheart you have a fever I'll go get you some medicine and no moving from this couch"
'sure let's see how long that lasts'
I close my eyes for a second and hear mum speak
"Ok so since Emily's ill that means pj you'll have to watch Charlie after school I have work."
I then open my eyes looking at the ceiling as a brown lunch bag gets thrown over my head and caught as pj replies
"I can't I'm working too unless I take her with me"
I tune out of there conversation as dad comes back with the medicine. He then puts it down in front of me before checking his watch
"Ok we need to go"
He then turns to me
"Honey if you need anything then just call me since your mums not allowed her phone at the hospital. And don't be running around or doing any collage work today. I mean it I'll be sending some one to check on you."
I nod slowly as my family exit the house and I hear dad and Gabe
"Gabe are you wearing aftershave ?"
"A little"
Dad then replies in confusion
"Why would you wear aftershave your not starving yet"
I then mumble
"Neither's PJ"
but I'm ignored as Gabe has another comeback
"as long as we're bringing that up why do you still have a comb"
'he's got a point'
I then hear dad sigh
"Get in the car"
'And Gabe strikes again'
I then hear the front door close as I'm left alone.

I sigh before reaching over and taking my medicine dad got before sitting back down and taking my phone out of my pocket and plugging my earphones in scrolling through my music
'I don't have a headache yet so I'm making the most of it.'
I look at my options
'Ok so there's Fake Love by BTS, Home by Machine Gun Kelly, X ambassadors and Bebe Rexha or Please don't go by Joel Adams'
'what to choose, what to choose'
'Well Fake Love will probably give me a headache since it's an upbeat song so I'll play that later plus I struggle not to sing along to the chorus and home ... Please don't go it is'

Hmm, hmm, hmm

Nobody ever knows
Nobody ever sees
I left my soul
Back there now I'm too weak
Most nights I pray for you to come home
Praying to the Lord
Praying for my soul

Now please don't go
Most nights I hardly sleep when I'm alone
Now please don't go, oh no
I think of you whenever I'm alone
So please don't go

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm

'Cause I don't ever want to know
Don't ever want to see things change
'Cause when I'm living on my own
I'll wanna take it back and start again
Most nights I pray for you to come home
Praying to the Lord
Praying for my soul

Now please don't go
Most nights I hardly sleep when I'm alone
Now please don't go, oh no
I think of you whenever I'm alone
So please don't go

I send so many messages you don't reply
I gotta figure out what am I missing babe
Singing now oh oh oh
And I need you now, I need your love oh oh oh
