City by the Sea 2

Elijah

I slurp my soup as she talks, nodding when she gets back and sits beside me. I set the bowl on the nightstand and look at her, yawning and thanking her.

Alexis

I think for a second. How could be have gotten this sick overnight? Then I go back to last night with the rain. "This is all my fault." I say. "If I would have shared the towel with you, you would not be sick."

Elijah

I flash another smile and shake my head, "No, Alexis. It isn't. Don't worry about it."

Alexis

I look down and sigh. I lay forward and grunt. "I can't not worry about it. You are sick and I do not like that." I say to him.

Elijah

I sigh and watch her, trying not to sneeze, "Can you try?"

Alexis

Is it up and nod. "Sorry, this is why I cannot be a doctor or a nurse." I place my hand on his knee. " I will be for you though."

Elijah

I flash a smile and sigh, nodding, "Thank you."

Alexis

''Your welcome. We better get ready. Doctors office here we come."

Eljiah

I nod and slowly make my way into the bathroom, showering quickly and getting dressed.

Alexis


As he gets dressed, I run home and grab my keys. I pull up by his house and go back into his house and wait for him.

Elijah

After I'm dressed, I head downstairs and find Alexis.

Alexis

I smile and stand. We walk out to the car and drive to the doctor.

Elijah

I follow Alexis into the doctor's office and stick close, dazed out.

Alexis

I link arms with him as we walk to the front desk. I tell them his name and we sit in the waiting room.

Elijah

I sit beside Alexis and wait, tired.
