I was working on a couple assignments when my phone started buzzing and saw it was Len. I instantly answered and put it on speaker as I continued to focus on my work. "Hey. What's cooking, good looking. Did ya miss me?" "Hey, it's night. Len has a fever, and I can't stay and take care of her. I was wondering if you could come over and watch her for me for the week if she isn't better by the time I get back." Len was sick? No wonder she hasn't been school the past couple days. "Uh yeah of course. I'm on my way right now." I hung up the phone then packed a couple things to stay a few nights then left and went straight to the college campus to  Len and night's dorm room. I walked right up and knocked on the door. I saw night open the door with a few bags in her hand. "Glad you made it. We are kind of out of food so you might have to go buy some groceries for her when she gets hungry. Don't worry, I'll pay you back, I promise. "I watched Night as she tried to get a better grip on her bags. "Uh no it's okay, don't worry about it." She sighed in relief as she was finally situated with her things. "I'll be back in a week. Good luck!" She frantically rushed past me and left with no hesitation. I walked inside and closed the door behind me before walking to Len's room and knocking gently on the door, asking for permission to enter. "Come in." I slowly step inside to see her lying in bed with both hands pressing a rag down over her eyes and forehead. "Yikes. That's one sight to see."

I smirk while leaning against the doorway, putting my hands in my pants pockets. "Haha, very funny." she groans in annoyance while flipping me off then letting her arm fall down and hang off the side of the bed. "So.. How bad is it?" She slowly sat up and rested the rag on the back of her neck while looking at me. "102. Threw up about 6 times. Constant overheating and my fan are broken so that's not helping much." I started to feel a bit bad from how awful it sounded, and she looked very pale and sweaty. "How about we take you to the living room so you can get some more air flow and won't be stuck  in this hot room." I walked up to her and picked her up, bridal style. I looked down at her as she held the rag against her cheek while resting her head on my chest. I walked down the hall to the living room and sat her on the couch then pulled my phone out of my back pocket. How do you feel about some karaoke? I've been told I have a very good voice." I say as I smile proudly while looking through songs to sing. A soft chuckle escaped her mouth then sighed while saying weakly, "yeah sure. Why not." After a while of singing several songs and laughing hysterically. "Okay, whoever told you that you had a good voice lied to you!" she said while chuckling weakly and trying not to laugh too hard. I gasp dramatically before fake crying. "That's so mean of you! How could you say such a thing to little old me!" Everything went silent for a moment, and we made eye contact before bursting into tears of laughter. After a while, we calmed down and sat on the couch together, watching a couple movies.

 I started to lose interest in the movie, but I could tell Len was pretty intrigued, so I just admired her as she watched. I started to inch closer and closer to her as she got more invested into the movie. Closer and Closer, I was eventually right up against her, my body pressed up right on hers. "Len." She finally looked away from the TV and at me. Once I had her attention, I slowly hovered over her and almost even on top of her. I delicately raised my hand up to her hip and started to pull her into me while leaning in to kiss her. She started to lean in as well until all of a sudden, she quickly pulled away.  "I'm sick dude! You want to get what I have? You are such a dork! Besides.. I'm with Tom." I hesitantly let go even though I just wanted to pull her on top of me and kiss her forever. "Uh right, sorry about that." She rested her hand over mine and looked at me with such a loving and caring glow in her eyes. "It's okay. Don't worry about it, alright?" I smiled softly then wrapped my arm around her shoulders then continued watching the movie until we both fell asleep.  I had woken up around the middle of the night and saw that Len was gone. I looked around before standing up and noticed her bedroom light was on and was lighting up the rest of the way it could in the house. I walked in and gently pushed the door further open so I could see. I heard some disturbing sounds coming from the bathroom that had the door closed. I stepped forward then knocked delicately. "Len?.. You in there?.." Silence. I reached and grabbed the doorknob and hesitantly turned it.
