City by the Sea 2

Alexis

I nod and hug him before he leaves. Once he is gone, I so upstairs and shower. I dry my hair and change into warm pajamas and plop into bed, soon falling asleep.

Elijah

I try to hurry home, drenched when I do. Without stepping on the carpet, I walk upstairs and hop into the shower. Once warm, I step out and change. I lie down under the covers but still shiver, sniffling a little. I close my eyes and quickly fall asleep.

Alexis

I wake up the next morning warm and happy. I change into something cute and walk over to Elijah's house. I knock a few times, but he does not come to the door. I decide to walk in. I go to his room and find him asleep. I lay down beside him and kiss his cheek.

Elijah

I wake to a kiss to my cheek, but feel horrible. My throat hurts, my chest is tight, and my head feels like it's going to implode. Opening my eyes, I blink a few times before finding Alexis there.

Alexis

"Good morning." I say to him. I look at him and tilt my head. "Are you feeling okay?" I ask.

Elijah

I shake my head and close my eyes again, "No."

Alexis

I place my hand on his cheek. "What's the matter babe?"

Elijah

I take a deep breath, "I just don't feel good. At all."

Alexis

I frown. "Well I will make you some soup and then we will take it from there." I say. I walk down stairs and start make him some homemade soup.

Elijah

I don't get to complain, breaking into a cough as she leaves.

Alexis

Once I finish making him some soup, I fix him some soup and head back upstairs. I grad a spoon and some juice and head upstairs. I sit on the bed with him and give him his soup.

Elijah

I sit up, achy, and thank her, taking the bowl of soup tiredly.

Alexis

I can see the pain in him and how tired he is. "I think we need to call a doctor." I say.

Elijah

I flash a smile and sigh, looking at her, "Maybe."

Alexis

"Okay." I say. "I will go call." I walk over to the phone and dial the number from memory. I give them his name and information. I thank them and hang up. He eats most of his soup and put it on the table. I walk over to him and sit next to him in the bed. "We will go in thirty minutes." I say to him.
