“Chloe you’re burning! “I screamed rushing into his bathroom
I grabbed a bowl from his sink and then grabbed a face towel, I placed the bowl in the sink bowl pressing the tap so that water will rush into it
I turned off the tap when the water was almost reaching up to the half of the bowl
I carried the bowl carefully with the face towel rushing back into his room
I placed the bowl on the stool which I sat on earlier feeling his forehead once again
It was hotter than when I left him, I gasped in fear soaking the towel into the cold water and squeezing it a little with my palms before I placed it on his forehead for some seconds before I removed it soaking it again into the water and squeezing placing it on his forehead
I continued the act for more than forty minutes before I checked his temperature again
It was still high… I sighed changing my act of placing the towel on his forehead
I began to rub the cold towel all over his face and neck as he whimpered cux of how cold the water was
I checked his temperature again but it had gone a little bit down
I fetched a new clean water continuing the process… Soak, squeeze, place it on his forehead before rubbing his face, neck, hands and fingers and then I will go round the cycle again feeling his forehead at intervals and then his pulse
He opened his eyes weakly smiling at me
“Go home, they will soon look for you, I will be fine ”
I shooked my head tearing up, it felt like anything especially death might snatch him away from me if I ever turned my back on him to leave
“Until you get better huh? “I dressed his ruffled hair carefully
“I’m sorry”I apologized rubbing his forehead again with the wet cold towel but he held my palm in the air when it was few inches closer to his face
“Why? ”
“Cuz you’re sick, get better Chloe so that we go on a date to the island okay? ”
He nodded his head like a baby while I pecked his forehead
My brother paged me almost immediately Chloe closed his eyes again
?What’s wrong? Aren’t you coming home today?
?I’m sorry, put in some lies for me okay?
?why? Where are you, everyone is worried
?I’m at Chloe’s house
?What!!!
He shouted
?By this time? Doing what? Let it not be what am thinking Bella
He nagged
?Its not, he’s sick and no one is here to stay with him except me
?Really? So you’re planning on sleeping over?
?I think so
I replied scratching my neck
?This is not good at all, Mark and his mother just arrived and they want to see you…
?Mark!! You mean mark?
I exclaimed getting super excited all of a sudden, finally they’re home!!
?Yes! dont you think you should come? Don’t you wanna see him?
I heaved stealing a glance to where Chloe lay silent on the bed
?No Brad, I will see him tomorrow, put in a good lie for me okay?
?This is bad and you know it, I don’t like it one bit that you’re there with him
I wonder what he’s thinking in his head now
?Brad puulleeeaaase
I hung up taking my gaze to Chloe again
He was fast asleep, I sighed getting up to go look for drugs somewhere around… Or maybe in his wardrobe locker or somewhere around tho
I got up checking his lockers and wardrobe
I didn’t see anything which meant no drug was in here
I sighed again sitting beside him by the bedside, I played with his hair wondering if I should leave him all by himself to go get some drug from the drug store or just stay back and watch him get better
Maybe I should go get some drugs for him, I kissed his forehead twice before proceeding to leave but he caught my hand sitting me down again by his side
“Where are you going? “He muttered weakly
“To get some drugs for you”
He scoffed
“I h@?? drugs so much ”
“You won’t get better then, you’re sick ”
“I will be fine ”
I sighed watching his face closely as he struggled to breathe out
“Chloe… ”
“Don’t go anywhere, just stay by my side “he interrupted lying his head on my laps and smiling weakly
“Your laps is so soft ”
I smirked rubbing his forehead with the cold towel repeating the treatment over and over again till he pushed my hands away slightly asking me to stop that
“You won’t get any better tommorow if you continue being stubborn ”
“I’m fine whenever you’re by my side so don’t go”he snapped tossing his head to and fro on my laps
“You’re too stubborn ”
“That’s because I love you Bella”
I smiled allowing him have his way with what he wanted
He closed his eyes again and I watched him carefully
Niccole’s POV
I closed the door behind me carefully so I won’t alert their attention to myself
I gasped for breath, ever since I knew Bella, she had never cared about someone the way she’s caring about Chloe right now
I had been standing here for a long time almost that time that Bella left me running to Chloe, that’s when I came
I even heard her answer that call with someone I think and guessed it would be Brad and to my wildest surprise, she said she won’t leave for home
She loves Chloe even if she doesn’t say it, its in her eyes, her actions and face too
She had never been this way to me and here she’s acting out all these for Chloe alone
I h@?? myself so much! Why did I push her away? Why did I let her go? Why did I lose her to some one like him? He’s lucky I must say to have a moon by his side
A moon which will shine in his life even in his darkest days, those beautiful and soft rays which will shine on carefully with comfort and love
I always felt that way since when we’re small until puberty crept into our lives
I smiled rushing out of the house with a heavy heart, truly I don’t belong here and I won’t wait till Thursday before I vacate this whole place for the both of them
Twelve years ago,
“Nicc! “She called my name giggling and pointing at her new permed hair with red ribbon fixed to one side of her hair
I smiled at her as she turned around to show me how her back looked like
“Whoa! You look beautiful “I admired and she smiled even the more and not long after that I was affected by her smile as I spread out my lips to do same….
Present?
I will miss her smile towards me forever now, she never smiled genuinely to me since last four months ago, when she professed her love to me
Why didn’t I accept her back then?
For the first time since I knew Bella, I began to sob for everything I did to her, all the hatred, stupid thought and shyness I felt around her began to hurt me
She did nothing to me yet, I loathed her a lot calling her the scariest nerd I’ve ever seen!
d@mn! I’m the real fool here!!!
?I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
?She shares my dreams and hopes that someday I will share her ownnn
?I found love…to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love
To carry children of our ownnnn…

Next day,
Chloe’s POV
I woke up with a slight headache yawning and then sitting up on the bed
I looked around me looking for a precious being which promised me yesterday that she will sleep next to me and I found her like she said lying next to me really so deep in sleep
I watched her face, her lashes which gummed her eyes together giving her eyes a perfect segzy look
Then her nose which stood up straight… I will never stop lamenting on why God could make a girl so perfect
Some strands of her hair which came to her front as if they were guards against her face thrilled me the more
I touched her forehead softly smirking badly
I can’t believe she slept next to me yesterday, that’s why I felt warm all night
I giggled unintentionally waking her up from sleep
She sat up rubbing those beautiful eyes of hers with her hands
“What’s wrong? “She asked me and I smiled at her
She grabbed my head feeling my head all over with the back of her palm
“Are you okay now? ”
“I’m not sick again “I replied but she didn’t seem satisfied with my answer
She felt my pulse and then hers as if she was comparing the two pulses to know if I was okay
She sighed before smiling
“You’re really okay… Ahhh! Chloe!! Do you know how worried I was yesterday? Don’t get sick whenever I’m not there okay? I wonder what would’ve happened if I’m not here… Jeez!
Don’t ever get sick without my permission okay? ”
I nodded at every of her word smirking and really happy, she was worried about me
I grabbed her face squeezing her cheeks in my palms giving her a face new shape which looked so cute on her
“Stop it Chloe”she struggled with words trying to get out of my hold
“I won’t, have anyone ever told you that you’re such a caring girlfriend? ”
She shook her head, I smiled kissing her quickly on her lips
“Whoa! Your morning lips is so sweet! “I exclaimed getting into another round of kiss with her and it lasted for a while before I broke off my lips from hers still holding her face
“I love you Bella….I love you Bella
Bella I love you so so so so so so so so much Bella I love you”
“How many times will you tell me that? ”
“I will tell you that everytime Bella cuz that’s how I feel about you”….
