Sickness

Florida Man woke up six hours later feeling way worse than before. His head pounded, his throat felt like he swallowed a razor blade and he was so cold. He shivered curling in the blanket.

He sees Australia Man asleep on the chair next to the bed. He needs a glass of water, but he doesn't want to wake the Australian up. He sat up and realized that if he were to get up, he would pass out.

"Aussie," Florida Man says in a raspy voice, nearly crying out in pain. He coughs into his elbow tears forming in his eyes.

The Australian woke up and sat down next to Florida Man, rubbing his back. "What do you need, Flori?"

"Water and another blanket." Florida Man nearly cries out again. Australia Man nods in response. He goes and gets a glass of water and a blanket. He also grabs some Advil, some cough medicine and a thermometer.

He hands the glass of water to Florida Man. Florida Man greatfully takes a few sips, wincing in pain everytime he swallowed. He wraps the extra blanket around himself, still feeling cold. He felt tears roll down his face. Without a single word, he is pulled into an embrace.

"I'm going to check your temperature, okay?" Australia Man says, holding a thermometer. The Floridian nods and places it under his tounge. It beeps and he winces, rubbing his temples.

"It reads 102.5 degrees. That's pretty high. Take some cough medicine and an Advil, I'm going to get an ice pack. I'll be right back." Australia Man says.

Florida Man nods because speaking is painful. He takes both medicines, sipping water afterwards. He shivers a bit. Meanwhile, Australia Man wrapped a cold pack with a washcloth. He made his way back to the sick Floridian.

"Lay down and I will put this on your forehead." Australia Man says. Florida Man wordlessly lays down. He shivered involuntarily when the pack was placed on his forehead. Australia Man rakes his fingers through Florida Man's hair. Florida Man smiles slightly. It felt soothing to him.

Florida Man's face was flushed with fever worse than before. He coughed again, this time curling in on himself because he didn't have the energy to sit up. He felt God awful.  He felt to tired to move and felt himself relax. He fell into a fitful slumber.

Australia Man looked on in worry. He then hears the music that signaled that someone has died. He felt his face go pale. He sees Florida Man breath and feels relief. He at least will live for another day.

Suddenly Grim walks into the room. "Yo, have you seen Karen? I can't find her body."

"Karen died?" Australia Man asks.

"Yes, from Transmitable Rodent Disease. She also has spread it on to Florida Man. I recommend going to the ER." Grim says.

Australia Man goes paler than before and says "She is in her room." Grim nods and leaves.

Australia Man sits up and shakes Florida Man's shoulder. Florida Man sits up, very confused. "I'm taking you to the ER."

Florida Man tenses up. He is terrified of the hospital. He trembled in fear. Australia Man hugs the man with sympathy . He feels tears stain his shirt, but he doesn't care. "I'm gonna wake Ellis, okay?" The Floridian nods.

Australia Man left the room to wake up Ellis Dee. He shook her shoulder. "Wake up." He whispered.

"Mmmm... Wha?" Ellis responds tiredly.

"Can you help me get Flori to the ER? His fever spiked dramatically, and I'm worried." Australia Man says in a serious voice.

"Got you covered! Here are my keys. Walk Florida to the car, and lay him in the back. I'll drive" She says.

They get Florida Man to the car and lay him down. He lays his head on Australia Man's lap. He fell asleep on the drive there.
