Ch. 10

                                    

                                          
I woke up the next day with a pounding headache. I peeled open my eyes and then shut them again. My window was open and the light. It HURT. Like, hurt, hurt. Like it-hurts-so-much-I-think-I-might-die hurt.
                          
"Uhhh," I groaned, as I rolled over in my bed, "Achoo!" I sneezed. My body hit something hard. I looked up and saw someone's face. My eyes widened at the beautiful boy who was sleeping next to me.
                          
I grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
                          
"Wake-achoo!- up," I told him, trying not to sound too annoyed, "Wake u-achoo!- up! WAKE-achoo!- UP!" I screamed at him. He groaned.
                          
"What do you want?" He asked in his morning voice. I sighed.
                          
"Li, why are you-achoo!- in my room?" I asked him.
                          
"You fell asleep downstairs, and I carried you up to your room and because I was to lazy to my room, I slept in yours." He told me while he yawned. I rolled my eyes. "Achoo!" I sneezed again. Lazy bum.
                          
"Li, why do I have a head-achoo!-ache? And why am I-achoo!- sneezing?" I asked him.
                          
"How should I know?" He asked, starting to fall asleep again.
                          
"Are there any-achoo!- lily's in this-achoo!- room?" I asked, getting nervous.
                          
"I don't know- yes." He told me as he looked around my room, "But I didn't put them in here."
                          
"Li-achoo! Get those lily's-achoo!- out of here! I'm-achoo!- allergic to-achoo!- them!" I told him, and then sneezed again.
                          
"Okay," He replied as he got up, "Cee, there's a card with the flowers, do you want to keep it?" I thought for a second. Did I want to keep it? Who would send flowers to ME?
                          
"Yeah, sure," I replied, and he handed me the mysterious card. He picked up the rest of the lily's and walked out of the room, leaving me alone with the card.
                          
'Chris,
                          
I know this seem's a little strange, but I think I may love you. Yes, I know I have El, but there's something about you that's different from everyone else in this world. It draw's me in. I don't know what else to say, except I love you, Chris. I know you love Li, and probably don't feel the same back, but I still needed to tell you. These lily's reminded me of you, strong and beautiful, just like you.
                          
Love, Louis'
                          
By the time I finished the letter I was in tears. He loved me back.
