June's P.o.v

I don't know if you can ever forgive me for what I did. But I love you June with all my heart...

..I don't know why or how did that happen but it did.

Why you can't know this?

God..I wish you could know, but you can't. It is for the best I guess.

Andrew!! I screamed and woke up with a sudden jerk.

Becky.. Wake up!! Wake up!! I tried my best to wake her from her deep slumber.

What..? please another 5 minutes! She pushed me and got under the blanket and got more comfortable.

No..it's not that! I replied and switched on the night lamp.

Ahhhh...My eyes!! She screamed.

Okay..maybe I should've just stayed in my room! You are a sucky roommate! Do you know that? She spoke in semi-sleep/ annoyed tone.

Becky.I think.. Uh. I struggled to talk as I touched my forehead which was hurting a lot.

Okay. Now you are scaring me! Are you okay? She asked looking concerned.

No..I think saw Andrew! I said suddenly.

What? Where!!?? She asked instantly.

Here! In this room! I replied with confusion.

She was eyeing me suspiciously for a minute or two.

Sweetie..it's 2.30 in the morning, He can't be here now.. I think you had a nightmare.. It's okay...Go back to sleep now! She said patting my back.

No.. I saw him near the bed.. He was..he was..um talking to me! I exclaimed.

Really? What did he say? She asked crossing her arms.

He said he loved me.

He..umm..I don't remember! I lied.

I don't know why I did that.

See..it's a dream for sure. We tend to forget dreams as we woke up, it's scientifically proved! Now you get some sleep! She said looking at me with concern.

I guess.. It was just a dream. What a weird kinda dream? It felt so real. I was almost happy, almost!

Yeah.. Okay! I agreed and went back to bed.

I was asleep after spending an hour thinking about why did the dream feel so real and more like a memory.

Soon it was morning and I heard Becky screaming something.

June.. We are gonna be late.. Please wake up! Becky kept shaking me.

Hey..What's the time? I asked trying to wake up.

It's 8.00 am! Now go and get ready quickly! she said giving me a towel.

I was sitting on my bed placing my hands on my forehead. I felt a little light-headed. And my eyes were burning like anything. I felt really uncomfortable, my nose was blocked and my head won't stop spinning.

What are you waiting for? Becky asked looking at me.

I feel sick! I replied slowly.

What happened to your voice? She asked as came near me.

I think.. I've caught a cold! I was struggling hard to talk.

Ohno. That's bad! Can you make it to classes? She asked with concern.

Uh.I don't think so! I am tired, but you should go! I said firmly.

No,I can't! I can't leave you here alone! What if you get sicker? She asked swiftly.

I won't.. It's just cold! I'll take some pills and sleep! I said holding her hands.

But.. She started.

Ahchuu!! that was the hundredth time I sneezed. Okay, I might be exaggerating but my nose was so red and I hated it!

You should go! I don't want you to catch my stupid cold! I said seriously.

Come on. You can't scare me off like that! She said crossing her arms.

Look, I heard there is gonna be a surprise for us in class! And I don't want you to miss it cause of me and my stupid cold. It's bad enough that I am missing it already, come on if you stay here who will give me the details about what happened! I made puppy eyes.

Who cares about that stupid surprise!? For all I know.. It may be a test! And if that's the case, I'll be happy that I dodged a bullet! She said sarcastically.

I care and It's not a test. we are gonna have a salsa class! How can you not go? You like the secretary of the workshop. I asked raising my eyebrow.

I am not leaving you! End of story! And Liam will manage that stuff. I'll just text him! She said looking confused.

Are you sure? You know.. If you don't go he might end up dancing with Stacy! Poor lad! I teased.

Stalker Stacy?? You are trying to change my mind and Why would he even dance? she asked sarcastically.

What do I know? I raised my hands in the air.

Whatever.I don't care! You eat your breakfast! she said gave me a bowl of cereals.

She was talking to someone in her cell and was pacing around the room.

You are right! I just got off the phone and Mr.Anderson want me to organize all the students in the rehearsal hall for Salsa! Becky said with air quotes.

I am always! Oh my god.. How cool is that? I smirked.

What do I do now? I can't leave you here! She frowned.

Becky.. I am okay here.. You what I'll call you if I need anything! I said as I patted her shoulder.

You sure you'll be alright alone? she asked looking at me.

Yes! Now go! I pushed her towards the door and gestured her to go.

After a long sigh, she finally spoke.

Alright then..take this pills and sleep! I'll be back by lunch to check on you! She said as she gave me a hug.

Okay.. Bye! I replied with a smile.

After she went,I took a warm bath and changed into my favourite PJs and I ate some chocolates. Nothing else tasted good, I didn't feel like eating anything. I got undercovers, I was lying on my bed lazily and watching A Walk to Remember. It was one of my favourite movies. As I reached towards the climax, my eyes closed involuntarily and I dozed off.

---------------------

Still June's P.o.v

Suddenly I felt cold, I tried to bury myself under my blanket but it was still cold. I woke up and noticed the window was left open. I walked towards it to close it. Suddenly I heard a rustling noise. I was freaked out. I moved away from the window and offed all the lights.I searched for something to attack the thief or whoever that might be. I found a hockey bat. I can't believe it was still here, Becky used to take Hockey classes for extra credits in PE(Physical education). I was ready with a bat, besides the window. As I anticipated, someone did try to come into the room, through the window. I closed my eyes and swung the bat to hit him. But he caught it with his hands and pulled me closer and closed my mouth with a hand as I started to scream. I was terrified but there was something else, his eyes they were shining in the darkness and they felt familiar. I got rid of those insane thoughts and tried to push him away but he was way to strong. I stomped on his feet and he finally released me from his grip with a cry. But then something weird happened, he switched on the lights. And I saw Andrew who was glaring at me without shifting his gaze.

Ohno. How did this happen?

What the hell is wrong with you? He snapped.

Me!?!? What the hell is wrong with you? I asked him to eye him closely.

Did you try to hit me with a bat? He asked with a chuckle.

Well..you tried to break into my room! I defended myself.

Yeah, I am here to steal your hair straightener! He made a straight face.

Well..I caught you red-handed! I smirked.

Yeah..right! He rolled his eyes.

Why are you here? I asked crossing my arms.

I.. Um I wanted to see you! He said without shifting his gaze from my eyes.

What? Why?

Oh..well.. Uh..ever heard of a something called a door? People use that before they go into a house/ room etc! I said sarcastically.

I've, but I thought you were asleep and there was no point in knocking the door. I've left you a ton of messages and you haven't returned them! He said seriously.

I was asleep, I just woke up! I said suddenly.

Oh.. That explain the not returned phone calls, so you not still mad at me? He asked eyeing me closely.

His question kinda added colour to my sick pale cheeks.

Aren't you supposed to be in class? I tried to change the subject.

Yes, I am! But I am not! He said and came closer to me.

Why? I asked instantly and took a step backwards.

Cause I heard something disturbing, that made me ditch classes! He spoke and took another step towards me.

No, don't come closer! Walk away June! Why? This feels nice. Are you crazy? I think you should check your head for some injuries! I fought with my silly thoughts and finally decided to speak.

I see, I still don't get the point of you being here! I said and walked away from him.

I came to check on you, Becky said you were um..not feeling well! He said as he placed his hands on my pale cheeks.

Oh! I exclaimed as his ocean blue eyes bored into mine.

Okay, that's really sweet and all but now ask him to leave!

You are hot! He said suddenly.

Well, that's funny, He chose to tell me that I am hot when I am sick and miserable.

Um..what?!? I asked as I was trying hard to suppress my grin.

Yeah, you are burning up! Do you have a fever? He asked seriously.

What?!? I blinked again.

Are you feeling feverish? Any signs of light-headedness or anything? He asked again.

Uh..No..um I mean yes, I have them both! I replied instantly realizing how stupid I was.

Suddenly his face turned into a very serious expression. He went near the table and saw the pills that Becky asked me to take.

Ohno. Pills.. I forgot to take them.

Did you even take them? He asked pointing at the pills.

Um. Yeah, I did! I lied instantly.

Really? He asked and walked towards me.

Uh..ye..yes I did! I avoided his eyes.

Oh no, he wouldn't stop! He came closer and his eyes bored into mine. His face was inches apart from mine. And his forehead was almost touching mine. I felt like I was gonna faint, I don't know if that was because of the fever or because I was intimidated by the proximity.

You are lying! He whispered into my ears and I felt his warm breath on them, that sent shivers into my spine.

I.. am not! I started.

Here.. Take them! He gave me a glass of water and pills.

I took them as he was eyeing me seriously.

Did you have breakfast? He asked looking genuinely concerned.

Uh..yes.. I.. I had cereal! I replied with a faint smile.

Okay..well now you rest! He said pointing at my bed.

I didn't refuse him, I just went to bed and I was looking at him without shifting my gaze. It was different to see him like this. He was being super nice and it was slightly freaking me out. I was starting to feel everything, that I didn't want too. I guess feelings don't wither away, instead, they are just buried into our hearts. And right now isn't a good time for them to come rushing towards the surface. But being with him, made me feel good and it terrified me. Cause lately every time when I felt good or when I was happy something awful happened and ruined my chance of being happy again.

He was talking to someone on his phone and he was pacing around the room. Maybe he was talking to his fiancé. You know what, you shouldn't care about it anyway! Just sleep!

I've ordered chicken soup from my favourite place.. It should be here in another 15 mins! I hope that's okay? He asked with a sweet smile.

My jaw dropped not believing what I heard. Mr.Stone face is taking care of me. I gotta say I was surprised. I didn't know this side of him existed. So that was what he was doing with the phone.

Yeah, It's cool! I replied instantly realizing I said that a little too fast.

Ahchuu! I sneezed again.

Here! He gave me a box of tissues.

Okay, I was losing it! Why was he being nice? This is so odd. Was he feeling sympathetic cause I don't need that, I can take care of myself. I was itching to ask him what was this about?

Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? I asked suddenly.

Being like what? He was taken back by my question.

You know.. You are. Do you know? I crazy gesture with my hands.

What? He looked amused.

You are being nice to me and it's weird! I snapped.

Oh..am I? Okay now open your mouth! He ignored me and stuffed the thermometer into my mouth.

I was surprised by him.

You don't have to do this! I am fine! I said pulling out the thermometer.

Sure you are! Now put it back! He said looking at me seriously.

Why are you doing this? You don't have to feel sorry for me! I know to take care of myself! I snapped.

Look, I am not doing this because I feel sorry for you! I am doing this because you are sick! Do you get that? He said as he pulled me closer to him.

I nodded sheepishly.

Now thermometer! He pointed.

After a few minutes, he checked the temperature.

102 F.. that's bad! We need to get you to the hospital! He said looking at me.

Noo. Nooo, I can't come to hospital! I snapped.

Suddenly fear crept in. I don't know why but hospitals freak me out.

Why are you so difficult!? He asked sarcastically.

Look, please. Can we just not go to the hospital? I asked looking desperate.

Fine.. But you are seeing a doctor! He said firmly.

It's easter, I don't know if anyone will come! I replied looking doubtful.

Don't worry, I have called him! He will be here soon! He said confidently.

He who? I asked swiftly.

One of my family friends! He replied.

After another 5 mins, the food was here. He poured the soup into a bowl and came towards me. He sat beside me and he was gazing at me for a second or two.

He lifted the spoon to reach my mouth.

I can eat myself. Do you know? I said slowly avoiding his eyes.

I know! He smirked and brought the spoon closer.

Surprisingly I didn't complain much, I had the soup and it felt good. I am gonna ignore that fuzzy feeling that was haunting me, every time I caught Andrew watching me.

Suddenly we heard a knock on the door, as Andrew opened it, I was shocked. A really handsome guy with hazel green eyes and jet black hair was standing on the other side of the door with a sweet smile.

Hey Andrew! Great to see you after a long time! He said and gave him a friendly hug.

Yeah.. I wish I could say the same doctor but as you can see my friend here is sick! He said pointing at me.

That guy is the Doctor? Oh wow!

Hi.I am Victor Branden. He said with a smile.

I am June.. June Paxton! I replied.

So of June? Let's see what's wrong with you! He said looking at me.

I am fine actually! but Andrew here, wouldn't listen to me. I said with a straight face.

Okay.. Well then let's just check! He said with a smile.

I had a small check-up and finally, he was scribbling something on his doctor's pad.

Well, Andrew looks like June here has got viral fever. I have prescribed some medicines, taking them for 2 to 3 days will make her alright! He said as he gave Andrew the paper.

Thank you, Doctor! we replied in chorus.

Sure anytime! He replied smiling brightly.

And by the way..You two make an adorable couple! He said looking at us.

Um..we are not a couple! We are just friends! I said slightly feeling awkward.

Oh.. I am sorry about that..! He said trying to avoid the awkwardness.

So.. If you are not then, maybe you can have coffee with me sometime? he smirked.

Um..sure maybe! I half-smiled.

Okay.. That's enough for today, you should rest! Andrew spoke through gritted teeth.

Yeah you should, hey here is my card, so I'll see you soon ! Take care! He said and went away.

I smiled and waved him bye.

Andrew closed the door with a loud bang and came rushing towards me, and he looked agitated. It was funny, I loved annoying him.

What the hell is wrong with you? He screamed.

What? I asked innocently.

You were flirting with the doctor! He said looking unbelievable.

I wasn't, I was just being polite! I said firmly.

Yeah right! He said in his annoyed tone.

Stop being jealous! I teased.

Ha! In your dreams! He chuckled.

Whatever... I feel the drowsy cause of the pills so you can go if you want! I said looking at him.

I am good, thank you! He said swiftly.

I am okay now.. Seriously! I said again.

He ignored me and sat beside me.

Yeah.. Right! Whatever you say! He replied instantly looking stony as ever.

He came closer to me again and tugged me into my bed and took some more blankets and covered me with it. I watched him awestruck.

What? He asked eyeing me closely.

What?!? I asked as I averted my gaze from him.

You are staring! He smirked.

I wasn't.. Staring! I said I was slightly embarrassed.

Okay then.. Sleep well! He gently caressed my cheeks.

Andrew? I called and held his hand.

Mm? He asked not shifting his gaze from me.

I.. Uh..want to Thank you for everything! But you still didn't have to do this! I said slowly.

Shh..just sleep! He said placing his index finger on my lips.

I nodded and closed my eyes.

It's not something I have to, it's something I want to! He mumbled.

I smiled to myself and fell asleep.
