You wake up to your alarm. You get up and go to the restroom. You come out and go to your
room. It's a Saturday, so there was no school. You change into a big short sleeve shirt and
shorts instead of your uniform. You head over to your desk, reach up to a shelf. Where your medicine is. You pick up a
bottle of pills and take 1 out. You forgot to take them yesterday. Then go down stairs. Suddenly your legs give out and you fall
down with a thud on your knees. You start to feel dizzy and suddenly you break out in a cold
sweat. Your body feels like it's burning at the same time though.
You see your mother comes rushing
towards you from the kitchen. She puts her hand to your forehead then to her own. "Serran, are you having a
fever?" She says with noticeable worry in her eyes. She quickly picks you up and takes you to
the couch in the living room. She comes back in a thermometer as well as a pillow and blankets. She puts the pillow under your head and puts the blankets over you, then she uses the thermometer to check your temperature. She looks down at it.
"Your temperature is very high." she says with a frown. She leaves to put up the thermometer most likely.
You start to breath heavily, and you start to feel your face going red. You look over to the side of
the couch and see your step father smirking. He's leaning onto the wall across from you, he
stands up and walks over to you. "So I see that sweet young Serran is running a fever." He
reaches out and picks at your forehead. You yelp with pain and dig your face into the blankets.
Your mother's footsteps get noticeably closer. "Edmund! Please leave Serran alone, since you
already know that he is sick can you leave him alone?" "Fine." He turns around briskly and
straightens his suit. Then you hear your siblings footsteps from up the stairs. You see your siblings standing at the
stairs, worry sprawled all over their faces. Your mother quickly looks up and says quickly "Oh!
Um… breakfast is on the table, Maya ask Adams or Everett to drive you to your club please?"
"Okay mom." Says Maya knowing what was going on with you. Your mother leaves to another room, where she keep things like medicine and stuff in.
Then you see your sister Lorely
coming closer to you. She then brings over a tray with a little cup full of medicine. She puts the
tray down on the glass coffee table to your right. She then comes closer to you, "I'll help you
up." She lifts your head and you pull your body up. "This will help with your fever." She hands
you the cup with a purple red colored medicine inside." You slowly drink the medicine so that
you don't throw up. "Finished?" "Yeah, can I get a pill? My head hurts." "Umm...I'll ask mom if
you can have one." "Okay thanks." She helps you lay back down and you just lay there staring
at the ceiling.
You soon realize that your mind has been wandering. You've been thinking of
things that have no connection whatsoever. About how the couch is comfortable, how the taste
of kiwi's taste something like bananas at certain points. Then you hear a thud, you look over
and see that Sherry fell down, tripped by your left slipper that slipped off when you fell. She
crawls up onto her knees and you see that she must've hit the floor hard cause her knees were
scraped and bleeding and she is crying very loudly. You hear your oldest stepbrother,
Everett, say to your cousin with surprise, "What happened? Did you trip? Come here, I'll put
alcohol on your knees." You see him pick her up, obviously not wanting to take the
responsibility of taking care of her. But still doing so out of a noticeable mix of pity and sorrow.
Lorely and your mother come running from the room in the right hall into the living room.
"What happened?!" You hear your mother scream the question out in confusion of the situation.
"Sherry tripped over the slipper and fell, her knees are bleeding." He shifts his arm over to show
Sherry's knees, surrounded by smooth clean skin. No longer is she crying, only whimpering in
pain. Your mother sighs in pain, from watching them getting hurt in front of her. " Everett bring me the aid kit, Lorely please give Serran his pill. Sherry come over here." She gives Lorely
the tray with 2 pills in a little cup and a cup of water to help swallow the pills. Then takes Sherry
from Everett's arms, he runs into the room your mother and sister came from. You hear him
starting to open cabinet doors and drawers, in search of the first aid kit. Then Lorely helps you
up once again. "Here, the blue one will help with your fever as well, the white one with your
headache." Lorely explains to you watching you, obviously for any signs of pain, or throwing up.
You take the white pill, and the glass cup of water. You swallow the pill in one gulp of water,
then you take the blue pill. You observe it for a while, since it was a shiny blue pill. "Serran? Are
you gonna take it? Want me to get another one instead?" You look up to Lorely with a
concerned look on her face as she holds the tray. "Uh no thank you, I was just um looking at the
pill since it's a pretty colour." "...oh okay."
You put the pill in your mouth and swallow it in one
gulp of water. Then you put the half full glass of water on the tray. Lorely quickly puts the tray
down and helps you lay down. She then goes around dimming the few lights and blowing out
the many candles. Then goes over to the windows and closes the blinds and closes the
curtains. The curtains were a handsome colour of light blue. Since it was still daytime the walls
went from pure white to a sea of blue, so beautiful that you'd want to stare at it for eternity.
The couch was big and wide, well it was for half of the family to sit. It was a pretty colour of a
light shade of red, but not close enough to be called pink. You then block all thoughts out of your mind. Trying to get some rest. Then after a while of closing your eyes.
You fall into a deep
sleep, the shiny blue pill was working now.
