Eddward wakes up on the living room floor. "what th-" he remembers he just came through the door and collapsed after his morning run. He looks at the time 7:05am. It's finally the Friday before the meet. The meet will take place tomorrow at the rivaling team's pool. The whole school is filled with pride considering this is the only sports team in the school to make it to state championships. Eddward stumbles through the door with the world spinning but he knows he can't miss today if he wants to compete. "E-Eddward are you okay you don't look well. You look paler than usual and also the bags under your eyes have darkened." A familiar voice says. A hand is then placed on the tall boys forehead. "Eddward you're burning up!" The concerned voice says but Eddward's vision is starting to blur again so he only sees orange. "Pumpkin, I am okay please do not concern yourself with me." The swimmer says lightly moving the ginger to the side. He then continues down the hall. "E-Eddward please...don't do this." The redhead says quietly as he worries about his boyfriend.

Much of the day continues the same. Kevin tries to get Eddward to go home or go to the infirmary but he is then refused. Eventually Eddward snaps at his pumpkin. "OI KEVIN! I KNOW MY BODY AND I KNOW ITS LIMITS NOW PLEASE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO STAND IN MY WAY THEN JUST GO!"  The redhead then tears up knowing Eddward only uses his name when he is serious. He walks away knowing he cannot do much. It's time for the last class of the day and the tall boy strolls in late. "Vincent you're late! However, I will let it slide today since you are leading our swim team." He takes his seat and immediately places his head down. The world starts to go black as his head pounds and his stomach feels like it's eating itself. The ginger looks over at him and watches him as he does not move from that position during the whole class. Kevin then realizes the pressure his boyfriend is under right now.

The bell rings. The redhead gets up and walks over to the swimmers desk where he has still yet to move.  He lightly touches the tall boys shoulder. "E-Eddward, class has ended its time to go home." The boy says concerned. "No, it's time for practice." The swimmer says still not moving his head. "I-I can I come too?" The ginger says hoping he can monitor his lover while he's obviously not okay. "No, swim team only sorry pumpkin." He then lifts up his head and gives a small smile to the ginger he then stands up and walks away. The redhead decides to secretly follow.

The readhead heads towards the pool a solid 10 minutes after the swimmer left the classroom. He then peaks in from outside the door to see Eddward cutting through the water as if nothing is wrong. He smiles as he realizes maybe Eddward is feeling better so he decides to leave so he doesn't get caught. He heads to his own house and starts his homework. At about 7pm he sees his boyfriend run up to his own door and opens it. Kevin is relived he made it home safe. "Good luck tomorrow Eddward." He looks over at the handmade sign he made for tomorrow's meet.

Eddward stumbles through the door. "Shit. Pumpkin why did you have to spy on me, I had to go all out to not worry you any more." His vision starts to fade again. He heads towards the kitchen but knows he has no appetite to eat. He sits at the table and places his head down. "I hope I make you proud." He then lifts up his head that is now pounding again and pulls out two pictures from his pocket. One of his parents and one of his pumpkin. He puts his head down again hoping he might finally get some sleep. His heart pounds hard as he thinks about tomorrow and worries about letting people down.

His breathing quickens and the world goes black.
