The ride back from the hospital was long. I glanced over at Matt. He had his head against the window, his eyes slightly closed. His face was pale and he looked like he was going to be sick. his mother kept looking at him through the rear-view mirror.

" Mom pull over!" His hand was on the handle, gripping it tightly. She swereved the car to the side of the road. He jumped out and went a few feet from the car." I could faintly hear him vomiting. I felt the tears in my eyes.

I wonder how long i`ll have my boyfriend around. I flet the tears come to my eyes as I thought about losing him." Dont worry Cheyenne, everything will be ok." I tried to find comfort in her words, but the voice inside me screamed otherwise.

My eyes were fixed on the floor, when the sudden slaming of the door made me jump. Matt scooted right over to me and placed his head on my shoulder. I saw him use his other hand to wipe at the corner of his mouth." Are you alright?" He gazed up at me slighty.

" No, I feel like shit."

My eyes went down to his neck, red and swollen." Would ice help?" His head shook.

" No ive tried before, it makes it worse." I began to gently pull my fingers through his hair. I loved how soft it was, and it smelled amazing, like axe.

" I hope you two dont mind but theres a house here thats closer to the hospital. I just wanted to check it out."

" Sure mom go ahead." His eye closed and his breathing got lighter.

I tilted my head lightly against his. My fingers went from his hair to gently caressing his cheek. Sara pulled the car into a driveway were an older gentleman was driving a for sale sign into the front yard. She got out of the car and began to speak to him.

I couldn`t hear what they were saying, so I tried to read their lips. Matt suddenly stirred, I tensed up but soon relaxed when he didnt wake up. I looked to the house. It was big and white, some of the paint chipped off. I felt some beads of sweat on my forehead and carefully lifted my hand to wipe them.

Something caught my eye in the top window, but it quickly vanished. I stared up at it curiously, wondering if it would happen again but hoping it wouldn`t.

" Well that house is a mabye." I looked at Sara startled as she closed her door." What? did I scare you?" I looked at her blankly.

" No I was just looking at the house."

" Amazing isnt it?" I smiled and nodded at her.

We started out for home again. I got used to living with Matt and his family. They treated me like their daughter, seeing as my family didnt. My mother was addicted to heroine and my father left when I was 7. I met Matt when I was 13 and his family took me in. We started a relationship and have since then been inseperable.

Matt shot up and grabbed for the door." Sara stop the car!" She slammed on the brakes as Matt forced the door open again and ran for the ditch." Sara I dont think he`ll make it home." I looked out at the setting sun, we had already travelled pretty far from the house, so by the time we got back there it would be dark.

" Hold on i`ll call the landlord of the house and see if we can stay there." She pulled out her cell phone and dialed as fast as she could. Matt was taking longer than usual so I stepped from the car and went over to him. I could hear him vomiting horribly. I went up behind him and rubbed his back.

" Come on you two, were going back to the house!" I looked back at Sara and gently took Matts hand.

"Come on hun."

We walked back to the car together and I slid in first." Can you slid over to the other door so I can rest my head in your lap?" I did so and he layed across the backseat. I closed my eyes and listened to Matts breathing. At one point he struggled but it evened out.

I drifted off to sleep but the dream I had was aweful.
