When Can I See You Again? ? Aarmau

14: Confessions

THE WEEKEND WENT by fast for Aphmau. On Saturday she had spent the whole day catching up with Aaron, until her mom got home. On Sunday, her and Gene went to the mall to add on to their plan on how to change his image the school saw him as.

It was Monday morning and Aphmau woke up thirty minutes past the late bell. She felt horrible. She had a headache and her stomach hurt. Aph felt bile rising and she ran to the bathroom to empty her stomach's contents.

That obviously made it clear she was in no condition to go to school that day. "Crap." she muttered the only thing she was able to think of, her voice inaudible and raspy.

Her mom was on a business trip that was planned the same day Silvanna left. She had no one to help her get through whatever this sickness was.

Aphmau texted Aaron telling him that she wouldn't be at school today, knowing he wouldn't answer due to the fact that he was at school and in his first or second period class. She told him that she was under the weather and needed to recover from whatever she was currently experiencing.

Aph shuffled down the stairs, keeping a firm grip on the handle bar next to her to make her way down the stairs carefully. Around halfway down, her head grew light and she huddled over in discomfort. This illness clearly wasn't your average 'stay at home' sickness. Perhaps it was the flu or stomach flu.

Her breath stiffened and hitched as she sneezed, sounding like a wheeze. "Ow." she hissed.

She made it to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl in case she'd need to use it to empty her stomach's contents once more.

Aphmau made her way to the downstairs bathroom and began to run the water. From what her mother always used to tell her when she was a kid was that baths would always make you feel better, even if you were sitting in your own dirt and grime.

She took those words into account and plugged the drain, dipping her foot in the water and clinging onto the towel rack for support to see if the temperature was good. She stripped and laid in the water, smiling at the satisfaction of laying back down.

After what seemed like hours of peace, Aphmau stepped out of the bath, dripping from head to toe. She grabbed the fluffy blue towel from the rack and pulled it around her and opened the door, the fresh cool air sending goosebumps all over her body.

As she began to walk up the stairs with the green bowl on her grip, the doorbell rang, startling her and making her drop the bowl.

"Aph?" Aaron's voice called, knocking on the door. "I know you're there, I heard you."

She panicked, not wanting Aaron to see her just in a towel. "I'm coming in."

Her eyes traced the doorknob, waiting to see it jerk. She practically unglued her feet from the wooden floor, grabbing the bowl that was still shaking from being dropped, and darted up the stairs, ignoring her lightheadedness due to being sick, and focusing on her dignity. She was careful not to make too much noise until she slammed her door shut.

She heard the front door open as she began to put on some pyjamas. After putting on some sweatpants and a tank-top, she put her soaking wet hair in a messy bun.

Footsteps made their way up the stairs, Aph already knowing that Aaron was on his way to her room. Suddenly, the door busted open, revealing a worried Aaron with his usual crazy hair. She tried to casually place her elbow on her wall and rested her head on her hand.

"Aphmau?"

"Yeah?" she replied, attempting to hide the pain and raspiness of her voice.

"I know you don't feel good, don't try to hide it." he warned.

"Yeah, yeah," she mumbled, waving her hand up and down. She thought for a second and remembered that Aaron knew how to cook. "Now, make me some soup or something." she ordered.

He rolled his eyes and mumbled something incoherent before walking downstairs to make her some food. She wobbled over to her bed and laid down, playing some game with her phone.
