I was just starting to fall asleep when Elliot bursted through the door. Bradley immediately sat up straight and faced his father.

"Here," Elliot said, holding out a knife.

It was big and wrapped in leather.  Bradley looked to me and then back at the knife with a bewildered look on his face.

"Here. Just to be safe," Elliot explained.

Bradley took the knife hesitantly.  I sat up straight and looked at the knife.  Elliot made his was over to the door and pressed his ear against it, "What do you think they want?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, confusion lacing my tone.

Elliot ignored my questioned and waved Bradley over, "Come here. Tell me what they're saying."

Bradley handed me the large blade and stood up.  He made his way over to his father and pressed his ear against the door.  I looked back at Caleb and saw that he was now sitting up straight as well, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Uh, they're talking really fast," Bradley stated, making me snap my head in his direction.

Bradley listened for a few more seconds and spoke again, "Something about their truck. Maybe just getting their truck."

Elliot looked around the small cabin room, "Where did you learn how to speak French?"

"School," Bradley stated, swallowing at the awkwardness.

"I hate French class," I stated hoping Elliot would back away from Bradley. I could tell my boyfriend was getting uncomfortable with his father standing so close.

Elliot looked at me and then back to Bradley, "Alright. Go lay down." And with that statement Elliot left the room.

Bradley slowly walked over to the bed and sat down. I wrapped my arm around his waist and he covered us up in blankets. We didn't talk for a while as we just stared at the knife in Bradley's possession.

I looked over and saw that Caleb was fast asleep. I felt Bradley's chest rise and fall as he let out a sigh. I turned my head to where I was laying on his chest again, listening to his heartbeat.

Bradley placed the knife on the ground and sighed again, "Thank you."

I looked up at my boyfriend, "For what?"

"You saved my life. And I don't think I would have made it if it wasn't for you," Bradley explained.

I smiled and placed a kiss on his lips, "You don't have to thank me. If it was me falling in the water, you would have done the same thing."

"I wouldn't have been able to save you. I don't know anything about medical things like you," Bradley sighed.

I sat up and took his face in my hands, "And that is perfectly okay. You would have found a way to keep me alive."

Bradley didn't answer and a slight frown formed on my face, "Hey. Don't stress about something that didn't happen. Don't tear yourself up. What matters is that you're okay."

My boyfriend nodded his head, "You're right I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I'm just glad you're okay," I stated, brushing hair out of his eyes.

Bradley let out a small laugh, "I never thought the first time you would undress me would be to save my life."

"Oh really. That's what you are thinking of now," I smirked, pulling my hands away from his face.

Bradley caught my wrists and pressed my hands to his lips, "What can I say? I'm a guy."

"Yeah you sure are. You are so lucky I love you," I retorted.

Bradley shrugged his shoulders and pulled me close to his chest, "I know. And I don't know what I would do with out you."

"Probably be lost and lonely," I joked, laying my head down and hearing his heartbeat once more.

Bradley laughed, "Yeah I probably would. Because I don't think I could ever find anyone like you."

I smiled and hugged my boyfriend tight, "I love you."

"I love you too, Sky," He replied, placing a kiss onto my forehead.

We then both went silent and soon enough I drifted off into sleep.

The sunlight poured into the room and my eyes slowly opened.  My hands were wet and I sat up straight in confusion.  I looked down as Bradley and saw that he was breathing hard, shivering, and dripping in sweat. 

Looking around Caleb was nowhere in the room.  I looked back down at my boyfriend and placed my lips onto his temple.  I pulled back and wiped away the sweat from my mouth.  He had a fever and that wasn't good.

My boyfriend started to stir and soon enough his eyes fluttered open, "What are you doing?"

"You have a fever," I stated, climbing out of the bed.

Bradley's eyes were droopy and he tried to sit up.  It was a loss effort as his body was weak.  He was sick and I felt my heart break at the sight of him. 

"I feel like shit," he mumbled.

I nodded my head and tore the sheets off of his body, "I know.  Come on we need to get you to the fire."

Bradley tried to sit up once more and with my help he accomplished the goal.  I helped him stand and led him into the main room of the cabin.  A fire was already started and I gently placed Bradley in a chair.  I walked over to the make shift clothesline and tugged off his big coat and hat.

I came back over and crouched down next to my boyfriend, "We need to put these on you."

Bradley nodded and struggled out of his slumped position.  I carefully help Bradley but on his big winter coat along with his beanie.  I pulled up a chair and grabbed blankets. 

I wrapped them around Bradley and he clutched them with shivering hands. "Thank you," he stated.

"Don't thank me just sleep okay. I'll be right here but you need to burn the fever out," I replied. 

Bradley nodded his head and closed his eyes slowly.  Not even a minute later he had fallen back into a deep sleep.  I stood up and grabbed a cloth and came back to my seat.  I stared at Bradley with soft eyes as I wiped the sweat from his face.

We stayed like that for about two hours until Caleb came busting through the door.
