Dylan: Sorry about this I should have told her you were coming over here.


Aiden: It's fine. I'm just surprised this happened twice to me now.


Dylan: Pfft shut up.


Aiden: Don't laugh.


Dylan: I'm sorry I can't help it.


Scarlet: Dylan, who is this?


Dylan: Right, Scarlet this is Aiden my friend from school. Aiden this is Scarlet, my sister. Before you ask now, we are not biologically related, but she is my sister.


Aiden: Alright, nice to meet you.


Scarlet: Oh my gosh, little spider made a friend. This is so exciting. You need to tell me everything. Wait you need to go back to bed, you are sick.


Dylan: Yeah, I don't feel so good. I should go lie down. Can you help me get back into bed Aiden, I'm starting to get very dizzy.


Without any hesitation, Aiden picks me up. I warp my arms around his neck. I'm too sick to care about that he's carrying me. He feels so warm, it feels nice. I wish I could just stay in his arms forever. We reach my room, and he lays me down on my bed. He was about to walk out the door, but I immediately stopped him.


Aiden: Hey, you should lay down?


Dylan: Don't go.


Aiden: I shouldn't be in here Danny. You need to rest.


Dylan: Don't go.


Aiden: Danny.


Dylan: Don't leave me.


Out of nowhere, my body started to go numb. My head felt like it was exploding. I scream so loud that anyone on the block would be able to hear. It hurts. Why does my head hurt so much? Make it stop. Please make it stop. I immediately hit the ground and couldn't keep my eyes open. It hurts too much. My body won't last, I will become exhausted from this pain. I will pass out soon.


Dylan: MAKE IT STOP. IT HURTS. ANDY, PLEASE HELP ME. MAKE THE PAIN STOP.


I feel arms warp around me. I know it's his. I know his touch. I'm scared, why is this happening to me? Am I going to die? I don't want to die, I'm too young to die.


Aiden: DANNY I'M RIGHT HERE! YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY. SCARLET DANNY NEEDS HELP! CALL FOR HELP PLEASE!


Those were the last words I heard before my body finally shut down.


Aiden's POV


Scarlet immediately comes running towards us. I can tell she's panicking. She immediately takes out her phone.


Scarlet: Alex, come home right now! It's Dylan, he was screaming saying it hurts over and over again. Then he just passed out. You need to get here now.


She then puts her phone down.


Aiden: What is going on? Do we call an ambulance? What do we do?


Scarlet: Alex is coming.


Aiden: WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO HE'S NOT A DOCTOR?!


Scarlet: Do not raise your voice at me. I get it you're scared but reacting like this won't help Dylan. Alex will know what to do.


We hear the door slam open and footsteps rushing up the stairs. My eyes immediately landed on him but behind him was another guy.


Aiden: What do we do?


Alex: Lay him on the bed.


Without any hesitation I pick Danny up and lay him on the bed. Alex hovers over Dylan and starts to check him out.


Alex: He passed out from the pain. Did he tell you what exactly hurts?


Aiden: He didn't say anything. He just kept screaming it hurts.


Scarlet: You don't think it's happening again, do you? We should get Ethan.


Aiden: Again? What's happening to him? I need answers now.


Alex: We do not get Ethan.


Scarlet: But-


Alex: No! I got this under control Scarlet!


Scarlet: You're up to something. You better tell me what's going on Alex.


Alex: We will talk later, for now, let Dylan sleep. He passed out from the pain. Everyone should leave this room.


Aiden: I'm not leaving him alone. I told him I won't leave his side.


Alex: Then stay. Scarlet and I will talk downstairs.


Aiden: Fine but take your little friend too. I don't want some stranger near Danny.


Alex: Alright.


They all leave. Now it's just Danny and I hear all alone. I can feel my hands shaking and I can't seem to calm down. I look at him, he was just screaming in pain now he's fast asleep. I place my hand on his cheek, and he immediately rubs his cheek into my palm. This causes my hands to stop shaking and I feel a little bit more relaxed. He is breathing, that's good. I know he'll be mad at me for doing this, but I just want to hold him. I walk towards the other side of the bed and lie down. I pull the blanket over us, and I immediately pull him into my arms. He snuggles into my chest and the breath that I was holding in was finally released. This makes me feel better. I'm not leaving him. He needs me. I need to know why this is happening to him but right now all I want to do is hold him in my arms.
