Sick

I startle awake and look up at the dark ceiling. I take a deep breath and try to calm my racing heart as I try to remember what I just dreamt of. My clothes stick to me as I slowly sit up and push my wet hair back. It was so quiet...

I look over and slightly jump when I see Alec sitting on a chair in the corner of the room watching me quietly. "Are you okay?" His deep voice glides through the quiet room. I take a calming breath as I nod my head saying "I'm just thirsty."

Alec quickly gets up and grabs me water. He hands me the glass as he places his cool hand on my forehead. "You're burning up... Dr. Evens came by and took a blood sample while you were knocked out... you didn't even flinch when he took the blood."
