Chapter 12 - fever

Mrs. Watson: well i have to be worried. I'm your mother and you have to tell me what you are going though no matter what.

Look, we are your family. Family will always stay by your side when you have no one. You should come to your family when you have problems. You are lucky, you have your family with who you can share your problems and they'll listen no matter how little or big they are. It's good to share little by little. But completely not sharing is wrong. Next time don't hide your feelings because me, your brothers, your family will never judge.

Emily: thanks mom. I really needed that and i will never hide my problems from you again.

(Emily hugged her mother and she hugged her back)

Present-

(Mrs. Watson took a day off because William's sick. She made soup and went to his room. She knocked the door and heard his weak voice say, "come in" she went in and put the tray of soup on the side table. She helped him sit properly)

William: mom you didn't have to come up. You could've just called me. I'm not that weak you know? Watch this.

(He tried to lighten up her mood and tried to take the bowl by himself but his body was still aching because of the fever. He hissed because of the pain and his mother started to laugh. She took the bowl of soup)

Mrs. Watson: my strong son. It's hot so i'll blow on it first ok.

(He nodded)

Mrs. Watson: open your mouth.

(William smiled. He opened his mouth and took a sip from his mother's hands)

William: i love getting sick.

(His mother slapped his arm)

Mrs. Watson: don't say that.

William: i was just kidding. Mama that burns.

*from author: y'all see what i did there?*

Mrs. Watson: oh you and your memes. Get better fast. You don't wanna make me worried.

William: yes mom.

(He finished the soup, took his medicine and went back to sleep. His mother slightly brushed her hand on his head. After a few minutes, she fixed his blanket and went downstairs to prepare food for the day)

In University:

(Travis was going to his major's building when James came in front of him and George was also behind him)

Travis: oh hey James..... Why is he here with you?

James: he wants to know about Will. Well tell me why didn't he come today?

Travis: he has a fever. He won't come today. And tomorrow.

(George was about to say something but James didn't let him speak and took Travis to his major's building leaving George behind. He sighed and went to his class)

James: wait, is it because of yesterday?

Travis: i don't know what the reason is and i don't care about it. I'm just worried about my brother.

James: i'll meet him after i'm done with uni.

Travis: that's good. He'd probably be bored because of staying in the bed. So maybe he'll feel better with you.

(Travis was talking to James when a friend of Travis came from behind and put his hand on his shoulder)

Travis: oh hey Aaron. James this is Aaron and Aaron this is James. Aaron and me are in in the same major & year. James is in the same major as William but it's his 2nd year.

Aaron: oh hey nice to meet you.

James: me too. Ok then i'll get going. My lecture is about to begin.

Travis: ok then. Let's go Aaron.

(Both of them said bye to James and went to their class. James was also in his class. His 1st lecture's teacher was on leave. He was just using his phone in the class when he saw that he got a message from William. It said,"why is he here?" He understood what that meant and rushed to the principal's office. Wubin looked at him)

Wubin: what's wrong?

James: i have an emergency at home, i have to leave early

Wubin: ok you can go.

James: thank you so much sir. I'll take my leave.

(James took his bike and went to William's house. He reached there)

*author's note: if you're wondering where was his bike last time well last time he was worried about his friend and he hurried to him without his bike*

(James knocked on the door and William's mom opened the door)
