I Am So Sick-18(I think)
I feel like crap. No, not crap, that's too nice of a word. I feel like shit.
Somehow, I'd become sick. At some moments, I'd be freezing cold, the next I'd be burning up. My nose was all stuffed up and my throat and head hurt, It was just terrible.
Honestly, I just wanted to lay down and die.
But, for some unknown reason, my body wouldn't have mercy with me and no matter how many times I checked my pulse, I was still breathing.
"Hey Reese- Ew you look horrible."
I attempted to move my body so that I was facing the door and could see who it was,but I got tired halfway through and decided that I honestly didn't care who was at the door.
Plus, I knew it was Taylor from the sound of her voice.
When she came into my view I saw her pull my computer chair and pull it to my bed, where I was lying.
"Are you sick?" She asked and poked my cheek.
"No," I said sarcastically. "Halfway through summer I turn into this. It's like some sort of curse."
She sared at me for a second. "Are you being serious or...?" She asked.
I groaned and turned over so I wasn't facing her anymore. "Don't question my sarcasm."
I heard her laugh behind me before she said, "Well, I wanted to go to the diner but you look like your dead and I don't want to scare people-"
"If I had a knife, I'd stab you," I stated, cutting her off.
"Geez, what kind of friend are you," she said. "I guess you don't want me to come with you to New York-"
If I hadn't been feeling terrible, I would have jumped up. "Your parent's said yes!" I asked, then started coughing really hard because I was talking too loudly.
With a huge smile she said, "Not exactly."
I almost wanted to smack her for getting my hopes up. "I really don't like you."
"Well, you see, I told them that I was staying with you for a couple of days and they agreed to that." she explained. "So we just gotta keep this whole New T=York thing on the down low, if you know what I mean."
I stared blankly at her. "Okay," I said. "So let's say that your parents decide to watch Wake Up America the morning that you're on it and they see their daughter on the television when she should actually be at her friend Reese's house. What happens then?"
Taylor stayed quiet for a second. "I didn't think of that."
I groaned then put buried myself under my blanket.
I can't go on a television show alone. I hardly wanted to start making these videos to people of my age group, but to have everyone watching me on their TV's, criticizing everything that I do? No, thank you. And I hadn't heard from Declan since four days ago when we found out.
Okay, actually I had but we would talk about other stuff and neither of us would remember to bring it up.
And if Taylor ended up not going because of the lack of her paren'ts permission, I'd have to sit there and talk about myself and my videos alone. Which I really don't want to do.
Suddenly, I had a coughing attack and struggled to breath through my nose all at once while Taylor sat there looking scared for my life. Or hers.
"Who the fuck get's a cold in summer!" I yelled, hating the world.
Taylor started patting my back and I gave her a look. "Thanks for doing that after I was finished dying!" I said.
She raised her hands up as if she was surrendering. "Sorry, Mr. Grumpy Pants."
"Sorry Mr. Grumpy Pants," I said, mimicking her.
"Hey now, that's unnecessary."
"Hey now, that's unnessasry."
"Okay, Reese, now you're just being childish." she said, waggling a finger at me
"Okay, Reese, now you're just being childish."
"You two are such kids."
Once again I attempted to look at the door, then gave up because I already knew who it was and moving was difficult for me.
"Declan! My brother man!" Taylor greeted, suddenly having a Jamaican accent.
He ignored her and sat on my bed, causing me to scoot over to make some room for me. "I heard you were sick," he said with a sad smile on his face, then he reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Okay, I'm leaving," Taylor said. "I don't need to see all of this lovey dovey stuff."
We both ignored her and i heard her sigh, get up and walk out of the room, muttering about being unloved.
"She'll survive," Declan said and started leaning in but I blocked him with my hand.
"No, you'll get sick."
He furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't care," he said and started leaning in again. And again, I stopped him.
"I'm not getting you sick," I said.
He stared at me as if I was crazy then he looked down and mumbled to himself, "This rejection thing is weird."
I shoved him with a laugh. "You're an idiot."
He gave me smile the got up from the bed and knelt so he was looking me directly in the eyes. I almost told him to back up so he wouldn't breath in my germs but he silenced me with his eyes.
"So," he said. "How's life?"
"Well, I don't feel good and I was supposed to make a video today, but now I don't really want to," I said with a shrug.
"Well make one," he said.
Is he crazy? "Are you crazy, I can't make one like this," I said and pointed to my face.
"I'm not seeing the problem."
I rolled my eyes. "I look like crap!"
"No you don't," he said. "You look amazing."
I gave him a blank look. "You're just saying that because you want to kiss me," I said.
"Well, yeah, obviously, but you still look amazing to me," he said.
I stared at him. "Shut up."
"Come on, your fans want a video from you," he said.
I shook my head stubbornly. I refuse to get in front of a camera looking like some kind of drunk hobo.
"I'll give you a surprise if you do it." I noticed a twinkle in his eyes
"What is it?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now would it?" He said and started to walk out
I was actually very curious about the surprise. I don't know if I was curious enough to make a video or now but I was-
Okay, I'm making that video, I need to know.
I started to get out of my bed but I got twisted up in the sheets and fell on heap on the floor. "Oof." I mumbled as my face hit the ground.
Declan was standing in the doorway laughing and holding his stomach. I unwrapped myself from the blankets then went up to Declan and slapped his arm.
"You were supposed to help me up" I said.
"Sorry but that was so funny," he said still laughing a bit.
I glared at him, not finding the situation funny at all. I was actually very embarrased but luck was on my side and I wasn't blushing so I was just going to pretend that I'm mad.
"Oh, come on, Reese," he said, wrapping his arms aound my waist and pulling me against his chest. "I'm really sorry."
I froze. I could feel my heartbeat picking up and I was pretty sure that my luck was over and my cheeks were red.
"So how about you make that video?" he said to me.
I hit him on the chest. "You're just gonna leave me hanging?" I asked angrily.
He smirked. "I'll get sick."
I rolled my eyes at him then went to sit in my computer chair so that I could make the video that I had promised me people.
About twenty minutes later I had finished recording the video. Minimal editing was done since I really didn't need to.
I clicked the video and let it play back so I could edit it before it went up online.
"Hello, everybody! I Am Reese!" I saw my self say into the camera. "Anyways, today I'm here to tell you about why I don't drive."
"The first reason I don't drive is because of the stop lights. So when I'm going and I'm driving and it's green and all is good in the world, then it turns yellow and the person in front of me stops, I'm like 'What the crap, no.'"
"Yellow means faster, not slow down, everyone knows that," I said as if they were stupid. "Why else would they give you a few more seconds? They're like 'Oh it's gonna turn red soon, so speed up and get through, I mean, I have places to be."
The screen cut to me saying in a sad voice, "I have no places to be."
"The second reason I don't drive is because of all the people in the back seat yelling at me,telling me what I'm doing wrong," I said.
It cut to me with my hand-people up and in a high voice saying, "Put your turn signal on, slow down, watch out for the bicyclist, oh my gosh you hit him."
"I know I'm doing it wrong. If I wanted to do it right I would be." I said.
"The third and final reason I don't drive is because I get into trouble for nothing." I said. "So there I was, driving along listening to the radio when the announcer's like, 'You wanna win some Taylor Swift Concert tickets?' And yeah, I do."
The video again went to me dancing to Taylor Swifts 'Mean.'
"So, I call, and I'm waiting to see if I'm the caller who wins when the police officer comes up and he's like, 'Hey, you can't talk on the phone while driving'" I said in a deep voice. "And I'm like 'I'm trying to win some Taylor Swift Concert Tickets,' but apparently that's not a good enough answer."
It cut to me singing 'Mean' again.
"So yeah, that's why I don't drive. Anyways, always remember, you are you and I Am Reese!"
The video ended and I watched it a couple more times before I was satisfied with it and posted it on Far in Life and YouTube.
Then I went out to my balcony to call out to Declan. When he did his monkey stuff and got to my balcony, I told him I did the video.
"Now what's my surprise?" I asked him, hands on my hips.
He smiled. "I'm gonna take you out on a real date."
*************************************************
Declan is such a cutie. Anyways! The video that Reese did was the video from the winner of the I Am Reese Video Contest!!! Woooooo!
It was really funny. Me and my brothers are quoting the part where she's like "Oh My Gosh, you hit him."
