She's Sick

"Eternity"

C H A P T E R E I G H T

Por's POV

Until now, I have flu; when I get up, I have difficulty balancing myself because I feel my head was heavy; it's like my world's spinning. It's so bad that my head still aches. After my birthday I got it right away, so I skipped work again.

This past few days I had a fever for three days straight, it is severe because I am shivering so hard that I cannot get out of my bed and my medicines are running out, but I'm not still recovering.

After Ezekiel lefts the apartment, my body suddenly weakened as if I was draining all my energy. When I checked my phone, it was full of missed calls from my boss. He must be worried because I called last time and I can hardly speak.

I saw him calling, so I immediately answered:

"H-hello?" I said hoarsely

"Por? Still not feeling well? I'm going to see you" I heard his voice, and he's worried.

"I'm fine" I replied.

"No! I'm going there, wait for me" and dropped the call.

*DOORBELL RANG*

I forced myself to stand up to open the door for him when I opened the door. I immediately saw his face worried for me.

"Come in," I said briefly, and my vision went black.

Xander's POV

When Por opened the door, I saw her covered with a blanket she was very pale then there was a bead of sweats on his forehead, and had puffy eyes.

"Come in" she invited me hoarsely.

Suddenly she lost consciousness; I quickly let go of the grocery paper bags I was holding. I grasped her, while she was in my arms I touched her forehead she was hot. Her body temperature was scorching; then I carried her to her room.

I laid her down and put a blanket on her. I pulled the hair that blocked her lovely face. I went back to the door because of the groceries I left earlier. When I closed the door, I rolled my eyes around the apartment. It was spotless, and her scent clings all over the place.

"Her smell is so good" I shook my head.

This is not the right time for me to crave over her; I put down the groceries that I purchase to the table. I looked over the kitchen to find a basin to put on warm water and a towel.

----

I put the towel that I damped with lukewarm water on his forehead. I also wiped Por arms as well as on her neck so that her fever would go down. I took her hand and kissed it.

"I love you so much, Amethyst" and I caressed her hair admiring her beauty when she as asleep.

I was happy because I had a chance to take care of you that I had never done before. I promise I will do everything for you.

Suddenly she moved her head, and her neck shows up. Causing her scent clings in the air, I can smell her blood distinctly it smells like lilacs. I bit my lower lip so hard to resist myself towards her, but my sharp canine came out, and my gaze penetrated from her skin through her veins. I can hear her heart pumping blood all over her body. My veins were pulsing rapidly. Thirst tempted me to taste her, and I was losing my control, but suddenly my cravings for me were gone when I saw her shivering again, so I fixed her blanket.

I took the towel from his forehead and put it back in the basin with water to wet it again. As I was wiping Por, she touched my arm subconsciously, and I saw images that enter my head, and I saw what happened.

When those things were over, I rubbed my brow as if to ward off a headache. It was because of Ezekiel that Por got sick. There was nothing good when he's around, but I had no choice if I wanted a cure for Por. I needed Ezekiel. I do not expect that I will need his help.

Por's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, and I felt someone caressing my hair, I looked at who it was, but my vision was still a bit blurry I could see that he was smiling and removed the caress on my hair.

I leaned on the headboard of my bed, I felt his support and my vision gradually became more evident.

"Ezekiel?" I said in confusion

When I mentioned his name, I remembered our kiss again, and I felt the warmth of my face. So I looked away from him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him again.

"I told you I was going here, and then you just opened the door for me, and you suddenly lost consciousness.

Can't you remember?" he explained to me.

As I recall, Xander is the one I opened the door, isn't he or am I just hallucinating?

"How do you feeling?" and he took the tray from my side table.

"I feel better" I grabbed my forehead and neck. "My temperature goes down a while I go I was having a bad time with my fever, and I feel much better than earlier," I said in surprise.

"That's good and to make you completely better you need to eat this, then take your medicine after" he ordered me.

I immediately did what he said, and It's just awkward because he was looking at me while I was eating until I take my medicine. His stares seem to melt me. When I finished eating, he helped me remove the tray in front of me and suddenly hugged me tightly.

"I am Sorry, Por," he said.

"For what?" I asked, but he ignores my question. I felt his face pressed against my neck then I hugged him back and caressed his shiny, smooth black hair.

"I love you so much, I can't let you lose ~ again," he said in a lower voice.

His warm hug gives me so much comfort. I hug him even more, and it was a haven in his arms.
