I locked my phone and continued to watch the movie. Ever since we went to dance studio, I have gotten stuck here. I was really sick. Livingroom was full of napckins and that mess was start to piss me off. After door knocked I got up after a long discussion with my body. I opened the door. But there was no one. "Are you serious? If you're not there why did you kno--" While I was grumbling, I saw a little bag on the floor. I got them and got inside. I went to the kitchen and put them onto countertops. There were two large pots. One of them had a veggy soup. One of them had a vegetable meal. I wasn't into the vegetables but I had to eat. Because I was missing her. There was a pill in the bag too. And a note from her.

"I was gonna let you to die for couple days more, but lucky you, I didn't

-Olivia"

Jackson: Olivia you are an angel

Jackson: thank you

(10:10 a.m.)

Olivia: hope you like it. I don't know if it has a good taste. Cindy and I had a fight while making it lol

Jackson: well, I haven’t eaten anything for two days and when I get sick, I can't taste and smell any ways so it's fine.

Olivia: poor you.

Olivia: now, you're gonna get up and take a shower. wear something that won't make you feel hot. if there are tissues where you are, throw those.

Jackson: do I really have to get up?

Olivia: yes

Olivia: you can do it

Jackson: why is this water can't be hot?

Olivia: it is hot probably but you're sick.

Olivia: text me after you eat.

After the shower, I wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I rolled blanket all over me and went to livingroom. Blanket was just like a cloak. My kitchen and the livingroom area were in the same house. I got a spoon and put my meal into plates. Then, I threw the napkins into the trash. House was better. I laid down in the couch again and continued the movie.

Jenny the roommate: are you feeling better? Olivia sent stuff I guess.

Jackson: she did

Jackson: I took the pill few mins ago, I'm watching a movie now.

Jenny the roommate: okay.

Couple hours later, the door opened. I wanted to get up but I couldn't. I was too tired. Even if it was a rubber, he could steal my anything. "Jackson, where are you?" I smiled after heard her voice. "I'm over here." My voice sounded really low. I wasn't get sick a lot but when I get sick, I would get really bad. She looked like she saw a ghost. "Why did you wear thick clothes? What were you thinking?" She threw her bag to the ground. The blanket was gone. She threw that too. "Why did you do that to yourself? You should've been better until now! Jackson, you're an idiot." Her lips touched my forehead. "Jackson you're burning!"

"My heart is the one that burning. For you." She opened all the windows and made it cold inside. "It's too cold!" She pulled me to herself and made me sit. Took the sweatshirt out of me. I was only wearing my sweatpants. "You're too fast. We haven't kissed yet." She rolled her eyes. "You have ice?" I shaked my head as yes and pointed the fridge. She got the ices fastly and put them to my body. It was too cold but I didn't say anything. She ran to the bathroom and opened the water. "Come on, you have to take a shower, again. Then you'll eat. When did you eat?"

"It's been probably five hour." She helped me to walk. "I-It's too cold." My body was shaking. "I know but this is how you'll get better. I'm sorry."

"You're crazy! Where did you see a person throw ice in a cold water?" I said while I was struggling to not get into water. "My mom used to do it. I had to, you're too hot." She said. "You too." She took a deep breath after I get into water. "You stay here, I'm gonna get you some clothes." After she got out the bathroom I heard my wardrobes voice. She came and opened the valve. While the cold water left us, she opened the hot water fountain, which was still too cold for me, and got one of my shampoos. She rinsed my hair. "Okay, stay here a little bit, I'm gonna make your meal ready. Don't stay too long though." After she went, I realised that I feel better.

I got up and took off my sweatpants. I wore my robe and went to my room. For a while, I waited in my room to wear clothes in the cold room. But then I realised that I was sick and I should've gotten dress fast. So, I took off my robe and started to get dressed fast. I went to living room. She closed the windows, cleaned the floor and made the meal ready. "Come," she said. I bent a little bit. She touched her lips to my forehead. "Still same, just a little cold." I sat on the couch and covered my legs with the blanket. She smiled. "Are you hungry?" I shaked my head as yes. "How did you know where everything belong?"

"Jenny texted me everything. I got keys from her." She came by me with the tray. Sat next to me and fet me. "I feel like a baby." She laughed. "Well, you are." I smiled. I took my pill. She made me lay down . She put the wet gland on my hot neck. I have watched her for minutes. "Weren't you gonna let me die?" She smiled. "I let you just for two days just to understand that being sick is your fault. This was your punishment." While my eyes can't stand to be open, she encase me with the blanket. "Okay, sleep now. If you won't get any better we will go to hospital."

While I was trying to sleep she was moving really slowly. Sometimes she touched the ice bag to my body. She was playing with my hair. I couldn't help to smile. "You accustom to yourself really bad. I don't know what to do if you leave." She was whispering. "I wish you could've told your feelings easily. I'm aware that you like me from the first day. I just want to hear it from you. I trust and love somebody that much after a long time. I don't talk about it because I don't want it to end with disappointment." She touched her lips to my forehead again. This was an easy way to understand if my body is still hot or not.

"I hope you can tell me in a short time. I really need to hear those three words from you." Then, I fell a sleep with the question marks and theories in my mind.
