It hurts to breathe. It hurts to moves. Alex lays as still as possible as the world shifts around him. He moans as a hand touches his forehead.
"You will be fine, Alex. You have a fever," whisper Ian's voice above. Even the whisper hurt his ear.
"Hurts," Alex tries to whisper, but he coughs instead. The hand starts smoothing his hair, making Alex relax.
"I know. Just sleep. Everything will better tomorrow," whisper Ian.
Finally he falls asleep, his uncle still next to him stroking his hair. When he wakes feeling better, he realize Ian was dead months ago.
