Chapter 4

Two weeks later on a Friday

"Aaron I don't feel good," I lay in bed holding my stomach as I curl up into ball.

"Do you want me to stay at home with you"

"Yes," I crawl under the covers reaching my arms out for Aaron. "I want a hug." He was kneeled down in front of me while I begged for a hug of comfort.

"Fine if it will help you get better," he lays in the bed next to me and I scoot over towards him to lay on his chest and instantly fall asleep.

My body shots up an hour later as Aaron slept and I run towards the bathroom and none stop vomit pours out into the toilet. I felt like crying but my body would not stop spilling my guts into the toilet.

NARRATOR POV

Ezra's was hunched over in front of the toilet and all the plops from the toilet woke Aaron from his sleep. He slowly opens his eyes and didn't see or feel Ezra so he got up to search for him.

"Ezra are you okay," he stands in the doorway of the bathroom as Ezra sat down on the floor crying. Tears pouring from his face as he never experienced something like this. Again Ezra reached his arms out and Aaron came running to be by his side to embrace him rubbing his back.

"It's okay, you'll feel better soon just sleep it off okay," he nods and Aaron helps him to his feet.

Aaron stands first and holds his hand out for Ezra. Ezra looked dazed like he saw many hands but after awhile he grabbed a hold of his hand and was brought to his feet easily to where he almost fell again but Aaron was able to catch him.

Not wanting Ezra to fall over he carried him to the bed and tucked him in fetching him a ice bag and heat pad.

EZRA'S POV

I wake to find Aaron laying down in front of the bed by my side. I can't remember what happened when I was in the bathroom so I must have blacked out.

I check my phone and I had around 5 miss calls from Zayd and a text from Liam. Checking to see if Aaron was still asleep I sneak down into the kitchen and my phone rings again. It was Zayd calling for the sixth time.

"Hello"

"Hey," he replies trying to sound cool like he didn't just blow up my phone.

"Why are you calling me at 10 at night," I check the time on my phone.

"I- That's not important," he hangs up and I end up smiling to myself. I know he was worried about me since I wasn't at school today. After that day he has always talked to me at least one time each day just to see and it's honestly so cute even when he's trying to act like it never happened.

"What are you so happy about boy," my grandma comes in fussing as usual, "Don't you need to be sleeping so you can watch Aaron's game tomorrow."

I had forgot about that and she was right. I walk back towards the stairs and my stomach cramps again.

"Owwwwww" I fall to the ground as the pain comes back as I drop my phone and lay on the floor because it made me feel better.

"What's wrong baby," she runs over and tears fall down my face as Aaron runs down the stairs.

"Is he still sick," I hear Aaron mumble as he lowers down to the ground picking me up to carry me up the stairs. I see my grandma pick my phone up and everything goes black.

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

In the morning I felt much better but my body refused to let me out of bed. I was completely weak and needed some food and water but I couldn't move to get any.

"How do you feel," Aaron comes out the bathroom with his jersey on. "Are you feeling better or should I stay with you," he places his hand on my forehead.

"Wait, I can't go to your game?"

"No Grandma says you are staying in bed for the day. I sat some food and water on your dresser so you don't have to go down stairs and just use the bathroom that's in your room."

"Fine but you better record the game for me," I cross my arms as he laughs before hugging me goodbye.

-----------

After 30mins of just sitting on my bed watching tv I get a call from Zayd. He was at the game watching Aaron and I could tell by the screaming in the background.

"Hey where are you? Aren't you here watching your best friend?"

"No I'm sick-" the phone hangs up and I sit in the room staring at my phone puzzled. That was rude even for you.

Beep Beep

I stand to my feet wobbling towards my room window and see Zayd's car parked outside. It was very hard to walk like I was low in nutrition was it because I didn't eat much meat like normal fazer's did.

Wobbling down the stairs to unlock the door I fall right into Zayd and luckily he catches me. My eyes had black bags under them and my body was weak. Without question Zayd lifted me off the grounding helping me back up the stairs and into bed where he laid next to me.

"Does Aaron sleep in a bed with you"

"Yeah why," I say as I get under the covers. "He always does since this is really the only room that's not stuffed with junk my grandma keeps around."

"Oh do you guys like cuddle," he says looking around

"You're not jealous are you Zayd"

"No," he lays beside me putting his arm around me as I lay on his chest. It was much firmer than Aaron's but still comfy. "Do you feel better now"

"Much but I don't know why my body is so weak," I sit up. "Do you know why"

"How much meat do you eat"

"Um as much as I want so probably every other day depending on what I eat, but only thing I've been eating this week is coffee and smoothies."

He hits me in the head. "What is wrong with you? Wolves are suppose to eat meat not liquids that's why you're so weak."

"I'm sorry," i lower my head and I feel some arms hug me

"It's fine but you really need to eat and stop drinking so much coffee- coffee is not good for us."

"What are you a doctor"

"And what are you an addict?" We both laugh and I lay back down on a pillow while Zayd called a burger place for some food. I couldn't stop staring at him as he stood by the window ordering food. He had a serious face which made a smile grow on my face. As soon as our faces met his face lighten and he hung up the phone.

"What are you laughing at," he jumps back into bed right beside me laying his big head on my shoulder. Once you got to know him he wasn't as bad as I thought, though it might only be to me. I'm glad we're friends now.

---------

The burgers came fast and we ate them even faster. My stomach still ached for more food while Zayd laid like a stuffed chicken.

"Zayd I want a cake"

"A cake?" He sits up pulling out his phone. "I mean Aaron comes home in an hour so I think there is time to order it" he says dialing up the number and I smile to myself knowing I have another manservant.

NARRATOR POV

Miles away from Ezra in his old house....

"What do you mean you lost the boy?" the man reaches his arm out and starts choking the boy standing in front of him.

"I tried looking for him after you killed his parents but he was nowhere to be found"

"Well- find him," he throws him unto the ground. "You had one job Liam one fucking job,"

"Sorry father"

"I always have to do things on my own," Liam's father grits his teeth before knocking some items off his dresser. "I don't even know why I call you a hunter when you can't even catch a simple wolf, ridiculous."
