The vegetable soup that Adeline and Nick made together was warm and delicious, Brie warmed up a towel to put on my forehead while Wendy walked around the penthouse with her mouth wide open

"I can't believe you live here!" She said with a thrill in her voice, the elevator doors rang and I could hear loud running footsteps that got louder as it reached my bedroom door. It was Nikki who was breathing heavily while she used the door frame to balance herself

Her hair was a mess and the gym bag she was holding looked heavy to me, she shot her eyes to me, and a wave of relief appeared on her face along with a sigh with a hand on her chest like something heavy has been lifted

She speed-walked up to me and checked my temperature at my neck using the back of her hand, Adeline walked in after she cleaned up the bowl that was used for the vegetable soup she made and saw Nikki "Who are you?" She pointed to her

Nikki aggressively shook her hand with excitement "My name is Nikki, you?"

"It's Adeline" her voice was shaking due to the nonstop handshake of Nikki, Wendy and Brie introduced themselves after Adeline

They all went to the living room to chat leaving me with Nick in the room, I saw him messaging someone "Nick"

He looked up from his phone "Yes?"

"Please don't tell this to Cloud, I don't want to add on to his stress. You know he has a problem in sleeping due to his insomnia or reoccurring panic attacks right?" I asked and he nodded to me

Cloud will be here by tomorrow and I promised to make him Chili, Nick deleted the message he was about to send to Cloud as he agreed that adding to his stress could become a huge problem. All three of my sisters walked in and helped me with the warm towel bath before letting me take a nap again since I got tired easily today even though I didn't do much

Sleeping while having a cold is gonna be hard because the snot is clogging up my nostrils and it ain't fun, my head hurts and it's killing me. The feeling is like someone is drilling a hole at the side of my head

The coughing didn't help either so I was having a hard time today, I just hoped that I could be better by tomorrow. Nikki and Brie bonded easily like they were made to be best friends since I could see them talking to each other and will relate easily

Adeline is reading something on Nick's laptop while sitting in an Indian position at the end of my bed, Wendy might be playing games on the TV in the living room. I slowly sat up and crawled to sit beside Adeline "Watcha reading?"

"Nick is asking me if is story is ok" she answered and I made a funny look that I gave to her, she glanced to her right to face me and her face made a puzzled look "What?"

I crossed my arms and made a smug face "You do know he is a famous author right? I'm sure his fans would love what he made but to ask you to read it for him to see if it is ok? Dude, I think Nick likes you" I judged her teasingly with my elbow

She rolled her eyes and lightly shoved me at my side "Go to sleep you maggot of a sister" she muttered but being the sister that I am, I wasn't gonna let that down and I continued teasing her to the point she has to walk out of the bedroom with an annoyed flushed face

My throat is a bit sore from all the coughing that I did today so my voice is in a terrible state of sound, it was hoarse but much worse like I was being strangled but managed to still breathe at the same time

Adeline was the first person who will run to my side if I ever wanted to walk out of the bedroom to get fresh air from the terrace, she sat me down on the outdoor couch "This place is great" she told me with her curious eyes she looked down below

I pulled tighter the small blanket that I brought with me that is wrapped around my body, yes I am wearing a jacket but since my body decided to be like

Bruh, let's make your body feel like it is left to die in Antarctica

I have to make do with the small blanket and it worked by the way

The blanket was also covering my head so it looked like I was wearing a cloak, the telescope was right beside the couch and I suddenly remembered how thrilled Cloud was to study about stars. His grinning face and bright eyes as he dreamed of his future

To be fair, all of his tutorings is starting to pay off little by little. All of my teachers are starting to notice my scores on quizzes to be getting higher and they even made me retake a test to see if it really is my answer because they just couldn't believe it

I was ready to prepare for the upcoming first exam and it is nerve-wracking, the exam consists of 50% percent of all major subjects so it will be hard

Cloud already has a dream but what about mine? I never really thought of what my career choice would be

I mean I am really bad at Math and I hate it too but all great occupation has math in them so there is no escaping

I hope the person who created math burns in hell

We ate Dinner that Nikki and Brie made but sadly I only get to eat so little since I feel like I'm gonna throw up if I eat a lot, too bad, the food was yummy but my stomach won't cooperate, and hated me right now so I have to listen to it

They all played rock paper scissors to see who would stay here with me and the result is that Wendy and Nick would be staying with her overnight, I apologized to everyone for taking up their valuable time and they looked at me like "The fuck are you talking about bitch?" With their faces

"We wanted to be here you doofus, get well soon" Wendy explained to me. Brie, Nikki, and Adeline left the penthouse right after saying goodbye

After they left Nick and Wendy went to get pillows from the guest bedrooms and slept on the couch that was in the bedroom

Nick slept on the couch while Wendy slept next to me on the bed, I took my medicine before I slept and I hate how the bitter medicine dissolved in my mouth before I could even swallow it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt someone has their hand on my forehead, it turns out it was Nick who checked up on me after he made breakfast. He will be meeting with Cloud at the airport on my behalf, Wendy left after she ate breakfast and her reason is that she was needed immediately at home

While both of them are gone, I slowly walked out of the bedroom and put on a surgical mask before starting to make the chili I promised

Stubborn as I might be but I follow through with a promise even if I have to do it while sick

When I finished the chili, I left it on the kitchen island to cool down and left a small note saying "As promised, now eat up loser"

Before waddling back to the bedroom being wrapped in a duvet burrito
