Hi guy's I thought it would be a cute idea so I started writing it a while ago. It would of been finished sooner but because of school, it along with my other story had to be a bit delayed. Originally this was supposed to be a one shot but because of all the demands from school and the fact that I have half this written already, I decided to split the story in 2 or 3 parts. So this is basically part 1 of the story.
Also, I should also mention that this isn't really a Juey fanfiction as Huey and Jazmine are their actual ages (10) and their not together. So I guess this really a Juey moment.
So, without further adieu... here's part one of Nurse Jazmine
Disclaimer: I Don't own to Boondocks nor do I own the references given in the story
Part 1
It's a bright and sunny day, Jazmine and Huey were sitting on the top of the hill, their favorite hangout spot. Huey was reading a book, while Jazmine was staring up at the blue sky watching the clouds go by. She then turns her head towards the young revolutionary. She watched the revolutionary as he read. She gave a small sheepish smile hoping his eyes would meet hers. But her attempts (unsurprisingly) had failed as Huey paid no attention to her as he continues to give his complete focus to his book. Realizing this, her smile quickly becomes a sad frown. Still feeling a bit uneasy about the silence, she attempts to grab his attention.
"Umm…." She says sheepishly "You wanna go grab a pizza later?"
"No" Huey says without looking up from his book in a monotone voice"
"Umm... Do you wanna come over to my house and play videogames?"
"No" He says again without looking up
"Do you wanna come over and watch T.V.?"
"Jazmine" He says without looking up, in a slightly warning tone "I'm trying to read so please" He says blankly hoping she could take a hint
"Huey…"
I guess not
"Yes Jazmine" He says in an annoyed tone
"Did you see the news today?"
`Since when did she watch the news? `He thought "Yes" He said blankly
"Well?" She asks innocently
"Well what?" He asked confused
"Well what did you think about it?"
"About what?" He asked as he looked up at her, still looking confused at where she was getting at as there was hardly anything on today that grabbed his attention.
"About the outbreak, the flu outbreak"
"Oh that. What about it?"
"Aren't you worried about it?" She asked in a concerned voice
"Why would I be?" He says back in his monotone voice
"Didn't you hear what the newsman said!?" She yells "He said that this is going to be the worst flu season ever and that everyone's catching it!" She says panicking "Hospitals are over packed and people are dying!"
"Jazmine" He says in a calm tone
"What if this turns into another Swine flu disaster!?"
"Jazmine" He says a bit louder
"Or maybe it'll be like the Fried Chicken flu only this time it'll infect turkey or worse go to other stuff like jellybeans!. Everyone will go crazy and the virus will infect everybody and then it'll kill my daddy again and then it'll attack me and…"
"JAZMINE!" He says finally snapping
"What?" She says back in her normal voice
"Jazmine" Huey calmly says "Calm down, you're getting worked up over nothing"
"Over nothing?" She looks at him confused "But the newsman said-"
"Jazmine" He says cutting her off "The news tends to blow things out of proportion just to scare people. Your basically just giving them what they want by being scared so just calm down, it really isn't that big of a deal".
"But-"
"Jazmine" He said in the same calm tone "Since this so called "outbreak" started no one has died, only some of the hospitals are overcrowded not all, only some people are getting sick not all. Plus most of the people that you saw that were are not even in Woodcrest, only about 1-2% of our population have gotten sick which is only a few people and surprisingly most of them were white" He says as her reopens his book
"But didn't your brother and grandfather have it just last week?"
Huey tenses up at the reminder that his family was one of the few black people in Woodcrest that had caught the virus.
"Yeah" He sighs "Unfortunately" He closes his eyes as he starts to reminisce of the ordeal.
Flashback
10 days earlier…
"Huey…" Said a very hoarse voice
Huey was in the kitchen making herbal tea while wearing a black gas mask.
"Huey!" The hoarse voice said a bit louder. Hearing the voice, Huey sped up his actions. He went to the stove and started to pour some soup in to the bowl.
With both his brother and grandfather sick, Huey was forced to take on a lot of responsibilities. Not only did he have to take care of his family, he also had to do all of the chores which included his own chores, Riley's chores and even Granddad's errands. Huey was forced to do everything on his own.
"Boy! I know you hear me calling you!" The voice yelled straining
"Yeah Granddad I'm coming!" Huey yelled back. The kettle then began to whistle, Huey then brought the bowl of soup over to the table then placed it on a gray tray. He then went over to the grab the kettle then poured the water into a mug. He then grabbed a spoon and began to stir in honey. After mixing it in, he placed the mug on the tray and then began to make his way to the living room. Once there, he met eyes with his Granddad. His face was a bit flushed but he still maintained his normal complexion. He was sitting in his recliner wearing a blue robe and the lower half of his body was covered with two blankets and a small pile of tissues and he was holding a clipboard and pencil.
"There you are boy, where were you?"
"In the kitchen Granddad, getting what you wanted"
"Oh. Well I'm glad you're here cause I need you to spellcheck this" He says pointing to the clipboard.
Huey sets the tray down and approached his sick grandfather.
"What is this?" He says as he grabs the clipboard
"It's my will boy. It's the will and testament of Robert Jebadiah Freeman. I wanna make sure that all my stuff is gonna be in good hands since I'm gonna die of this "infloosa" virus" He sniffles "I need some insurance that someone's gonna take good care of my Dorothy.. And my playboys".
Huey sighs and puts the clipboard down on the coffee table. "Granddad we've talked about this" He says calmly
"For one, you're not going to die, two, its "influenza" and three you don't have the flu Riley does, you just have a bad cold"
"Are you sure?" He says before coughing a bit "My throat still hurts, my body's achin' and I feel chilly" He sniffles
"Granddad" Huey says in a calm but monotone voice "We went to the doctor yesterday and he said the same thing, it's just a cold". He moves in closer and pulls the blankets and covers his grandfather's neck
"Oh yeah, how we magically got to the doctors, I'll never know"
`[Scoffs] If you call a convincing a germaphobic Tom to drive you to the doctors because the only person in this house that has a license was too delirious to drive magical? Then sure it's magical` He thought
"All you need is a lot of rest and some fluids and you'll better in a couple of days. Riley's gonna take a bit longer but the both of you will be just fine". He said as he made his grandfather more comfortable by elevating his feet.
"Alright" He says, seemingly calming down "But what if I end up getting something worse like pneumonia or something?!"
Huey pinched the bridge of his nose and sighs. "Granddad, I keep you and Riley in separate rooms to make sure that it doesn't happen so you can relax".
"Well how come I can't have a walkie talkie?" He whined
Huey groaned in frustration. "Granddad" He says a bit annoyed "I told you, since Riley's upstairs I need to keep in contact with him in case if he needs something and since this a big house and Riley is losing his voice a bit, the walkie talkie was the best thing. You're down here and I can hear you easily so you don't need a walkie talkie. Besides I gave you a bell, what happened to it?"
"It's too damn heavy!" He argued "I can't keep ringing that thing, I'm a sick old man and I got that arthritis and my bones are weak. If I keep swinging that thing back and forth Imma break my wrist". You supposed to be taking care of your granddaddy not tryin' ta' break his wrist by giving me a heavy ass bell.
Huey closes his eyes and shakes his head giving up. He reopens his eyes then goes over to the coffee table.
"You want your soup Granddad?" He said calmly
"Is it chicken?"
"Yes"
"Real chicken?"
"Yes" He says a bit annoyed
"Oh. Well alright then" He said calmly
Huey grabs the bowl and spoon then heads over and gives them to his grandfather. Then he begins to head for the kitchen. As Granddad is about to eat, he notices the mug.
"What's that boy?"
"It's tea Granddad"
"Tea!? Aww nooo..." He groans loudly "Don't tell me it's that nasty ass water thing again"
"Granddad its herbal tea not water and it's good for you" Huey said in a monotone voice
"No it's not its water, nasty ass water and I didn't even want it, I wanted orange juice, where the hell is my damn orange juice boy!?" He said annoyed
"Granddad the tea is much better. It'll warm you up and it'll soothe your throat, stop your coughing, open your sinuses and it'll even ease your stomach you said you were feeling a bit nauseous"
"I'm nauseated by that nasty ass water, now get me my orange juice boy!" He says angrily
He groans then heads into the kitchen to get his grandfather's orange juice. As he stood on a chair to grab a glass from the cabinet, the walkie talkie beeped. "Huey" Said a congested voice followed by a high pitch beep "Nigga you there?" Huey sighed and took the walkie talkie from his pocket. "What is it Riley?"
"I'm thirsty, bring me some juice"
"Alright" He sets the walkie talkie down on the counter then he goes to reach for two glasses. He climbs down then heads to the fridge and grabs the orange juice.
"Boy! Did you wash the dishes?"
"I'm working on it Granddad!" He closes the fridge and goes back to the counter
"Huey I'm hungry, make me a grilled cheese"
"Alright Riley" He starts pouring orange juice in a glass
"Huey! I thought I told you to vacuum!"
"I'll get to it Granddad!"
"Huey I need more tissues!"
"Boy! I need you to go fold the laundry!"
"Huey!" Riley yelled
"Huey!" Granddad yelled
"Huey!"
"Huey!"
"HUEY!" They yell in usion
As they yelled his name back and forth, their voices began to echo in his mind. Huey began to feel more and more irritated and overwhelmed by the minute. His left eye even started to twitch.
Two hours later
Huey walked up the stairs and headed to his bedroom to check on Riley. He entered the room and found his brother sitting up in bed reading one of his basketball magazines and he did not look well. Unlike Granddad, Riley was pale and was almost as white as his bedsheets. His cheeks were flushed and his nose was very red. Hey looked towards the door and caught eyes with his brother.
"Hey" He says blankly "How you feeling?"
"Like shit" Riley croaks in response
Huey then approached his brother then put his hand on Riley's forehead. Riley cringes in disgust and pulls away.
"Aye man, watch'chu doin'?"
"I'm trying to feel your forehead" Huey says blankly while attempting to put his hand on Riley's forehead but Riley again dodges his brother's attempt.
"Eww…. Nigga you gay, get away from me!"
Huey sighs in frustration at his brother's stupidity
"Riley" He says annoyed "I'm feeling your forehead to see if your fever's still high dumbass and it's hard to do that since you won't stay still". Riley stopped fidgeting but still maintained his angry scowl. Huey was also scowling but it was covered by his black gas mask. He finally felt Riley's forehead
"Hmm… you're not as hot as you were before"
"Pause" Riley say blankly
Huey simply shakes his head "You still have a fever but it's not so bad, I'll come back and check one you later. I'll be downstairs if you need anything" Huey turns to leave.
"Wait Huey..." He turns back around "Before you go, could you open a window, it's hot in here"
Huey nods then goes over to open the window
"And Huey, could you fluff my pillow I wanna get more comfortable, no homo"
"Okay" Huey goes over to his brother and grabs the pillow and starts to fluff it then puts it back behind Riley. He then makes his way towards the door.
"Oh and Huey" Now Huey was starting to get annoyed
"Yeah" He says calmly but annoyed
"Could you bring my video game up here?"
"I told you I'm not bringing the PlayStation up here"
"Not that one, the other one"
"Fine" He turns to leave
"And Huey..."
Riley definitely was enjoying having his brother be his "slave" or in his words "Bein' his Bitch" no homo
"Yes" Huey growls
"You can bring that downstairs now" He points towards the tray on the table. Huey takes a breath then goes to get the tray then once again turns to leave.
"Oh and Huey…"
"What? What is it now?" He snaps
Riley says nothing but for some reason he looked hesitant
Huey turns to him "What Riley?" Riley remains silent but still appears hesitant
Huey the walks towards his brother then puts the tray on the floor "What Riley? What do you want" He moves in a bit closer being only a foot away.
"I… I want… I want…" [Achoo!] Huey steps back and cringes in disgust as his face was covered in mucus
"Oops…" He sniffles "My bad" He then starts to snicker but then starts to cough but it still doesn't bother him as he continues to laugh.
Huey growled and started to wipe his face with his arm. He then gave his brother the death stare.
"Oh I almost forgot, could you get me more orange juice? And get me another magazine, I'm done with this one" He tosses the magazine to the floor
Huey scowls intensely (which again can't be seen because of the gas mask) and growls but says nothing. He picks up the tray then places the magazine on the tray and walks out of the room without uttering a word, leaving Riley who was still laughing at his brother, alone in the room
End of Flashback
"Wow, you definitely had a long week" Jazmine said feeling sympathetic for her friend
"Yeah, it was" He says blankly
"But I'm really surprised that you went through all that and you still didn't get sick"
"Well I was wearing a gas mask the entire time. Plus I don't get sick easily"
"Really?" She asked surprised
"Yeah, I have a strong immune system. It would take a whole lot of exposure to cold weather or germs to get me sick"
"So you really aren't worried about the outbreak?"
"Jazmine, I told you it would take a lot for me to get-'' [Achoo!]
"Eep" Jazmine squeaked
Huey sniffled and rubbed his nose then looked over at Jazmine who had moved a few inches away from him and was covering her mouth and nose and she looked a bit freaked out
"What?" He says blankly
Jazmine was hesitant and said nothing
"What?" He said more annoyed
"You're getting sick" She finally said through her hands
"Were you not listening?"
"Yes, and then you sneezed, bless you by the way"
"Thanks. Jazmine I'm not sick it was just a sneeze, which could mean anything. It could be allergies or something just tickled my nose. It's nothing and I'm fine so you can put your hands down now and relax" reopens his book and begins to read it.
Jazmine puts her hands down then moves back into her spot but keeps her eyes on Huey and begins to analyze him. Sensing her glare, he looks at her
"What?" He asks annoyed
"Your cheeks look red"
"No they don't" He says annoyed. Jazmine then puts her hand on his forehead [GASP] "You feel warm" She said worried. "Jazmine" He says in a calm tone
"And you sound a little congested"
"Jazmine" He says as he pushes her hand away "I sound fine, I feel fine, I am fine, now will you please drop it" He then goes back to his book. Jazmine now had a sad frown and continued to stare at him.
"And will you quit staring at me!" He snapped
"Are you sure you're not getting sick?" She finally said
"Jazmine… I'm positive, I'm-'' [Achoo!]
Jazmine immediately covers her mouth and moves back
"Huey!" She Squeaks
"Jazmine, please don't start this again"
"But-"
"Jazmine!" He says in a slightly loud but irritated tone
"I'm not sick. I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm fine"
The Next Day
"Uhhh… I am not fine" Huey groans.
Huey's POV
I can't believe this, for the first time in a very long time my immune system had failed me. How did it happen? I really don't know. Maybe it was Riley's dumbass for sneezing in my face, or maybe it was all the stress I was under having to take care of Granddad and Riley and pretty much everything by myself. Whatever the cause maybe, it really didn't matter because the one thing that was clear was that I, Huey Freeman was actually sick. Truthfully I'm not even sure if I have the flu or a bad cold, but frankly I really don't care, I feel terrible. I was freezing, my throat was sore, my nose was stuffed up and filled with snot, my body was aching, everything hurt, my head, my stomach, even my teeth hurt. Man, this was misery I hate being sick. I was so dizzy I couldn't even get out of bed. So I pretty much stayed in bed for most of the morning in bed with the covers over my head.
Riley who was feeling better and back to his old self was on the computer doing who knows what. As I went into another one of my painful coughing fits, he turned around and looked at me.
"Eww… nigga you gay"
"Shut up Riley" I said in a congested and weak voice from under the covers
"A'ight nigga you ain't gay, but what I should be callin' you is a bitch since you actin' like one. Well, more than usual anyway"
"Again, shut up Riley" I said irritated before sneezing hoarsely
Just then, Granddad came in and then sprayed the room with anti-bacterial spray. I think he probably sprayed too much because Riley started coughing.
"Damn Granddad" [Coughs] "Could you spray anymore of that thing cause I wanted to suffocate today" He said sarcastically
"Oh shut up and stop complaining" He said irritated. He then came over to my bed "Hey boy, you feelin' any better?" I was about to say something, but I ended up sneezing instead "I guess not" He said disappointed. I pulled the covers off of my head and sat up while groaning in pain then went into another coughing fit.
"Eww…I need to get outta here before I catch nerd boy's disease. I don't wanna turn in to a little bitch like him" He snickered as he left the room.
After my coughing stopped, I threw myself back on my bed and felt my body aching even more. Granddad then put his hand on my forehead and then looked upset
"Damn it! And I just finished disinfecting the house. Why'd you have to get sick now?"
"Granddad, I didn't plan this it just happened" I said sounding even more stuffed up
"Well, you better not infect my entire house so keep all that germ spreadin' hacking to yourself. So just stay in your room until this whole thing passes over. Now you have a fever, so I brought you a bottle of water and I brought you some lozenges" He put them on the draw next to my bed "And I got you a wet towel" He threw it at me and I managed to catch it in my hands "Whelp, it's time for my stories I'll be downstairs if you need anything" He then started to head towards the door
Y'know, people are usually caring and sympathetic to someone who's really ill.
"Oh…" He said then turned to me "And you better not die today boy, cause I ain't got no money for no funeral. So yeah, keep breathing" He then turned around and left the room shutting the door behind him.
I sat there staring at the door in disbelief. There are no words to describe what I'm thinking right now
[AH-CHOOO!] "Ow"
But I definitely have plenty of words to describe how I'm feeling right now. I started to rub my sinuses. Man, I sneezed so hard both my nose and my chest hurt. I grabbed a tissue and started to blow my nose, which was making me feel worse. I laid back down on my bed feeling drained and closed my eyes.
Man, this is some bull shit
Sometime Later…
I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed feeling really thirsty. I looked over at the water bottle Granddad gave me and saw that it was empty. I still felt a bit dizzy but I managed to finally get myself out of bed. I slowly walked down the stairs, tightly holding on to the railing then quietly entered the living room. Granddad and Riley were both on the couch watching "Basketball Wives" again (Ugh). Granddad then turned his head over to the doorway and saw me standing there. His entertained smile quickly became an annoyed frown.
"Damn it boy, I thought I told you to stay in your room" He yelled aggravated
"I'm thirsty and I wanted something to drink" I said weakly
"Well why didn't you call me?"
"Granddad I barely have a voice, it's even hard for me to talk how could I have possibly called you?" I said straining
"Why didn't you use the walkie talkie?"
"Granddad the batteries died days ago. I told you I needed you to buy more remember?"
"Oh yeah… Well you can forget it cause I ain't spendin' no $5 on no damn batteries, so carry on" He went back to watching his show
I sighed and made my way into the kitchen, then coughed into the sleeve of my blue pajamas
"And keep them germs to yourself and off my stuff!" Granddad called out from the living room
I rolled my eyes and opened the fridge. The TV was on so loud I could hear it from the kitchen. It was making my head hurt, especially with all the screaming from those so called wives.
On TV `We'll be back after these messages`
"Thank goodness" I said relieved
On TV `You've been waiting` said a suspenseful voice `You've begged, pleaded and even tweeted….And now it's finally here! The new "Kernels Fried Chicken" dinner box` Said in a more upbeat voice "That's right, for a limited time only, we're offering all of our best sides, best desserts and of course our finger lickin' good chicken all brought together into one incredible dinner box"
I get my water bottle and head back into the living room
TV continues `But that's not all folks. In honor of the debut of the dinner box, for one day only we're giving away our amazing dinner box for free! That's right free! `
Granddad and Riley perk up immediately
"That's right ya'll!" Said a man with a thick country accent "John Kernel here, and I'm here to tell you that for one day only you'll get to have 2 pieces of my greasy, crispy, finger lickin' good chicken, 2 of my delicious sides, a medium drink and to top it off with a special little treat, 1 big cookie of your choosin'. I'm a chocolate man myself"[Chuckles] "So come on down to one of my chicken palaces' and get yourself a free box, cause its only for one day and my friends that day is today. So come and get some!"
Announcer (says quickly) "Sales are only valid until midnight. The sale is only valid for the dinner box, you still have to pay for the other stuff"
(More cheery) "Kernel's Fried Chicken where the chicken is always fresh"
John Kernel "And at its finest!" A chicken squawks in agreement
End of commercial
"Yeah Boi!" Riley and Granddad said in usion
"Free chicken, man that's a dream come true" Riley says excitedly "Man, Imma get me some two big ass thighs and all the fries they can give me"
"Free chicken with a side of collard greens and fries and a drink, ooo-wee! This is too good to be true" Granddad said happily. He then turns to Riley "What time is it now boy?"
"11:15, Granddad"
"Perfect! If we leave now we can beat the lunch rush. You ready to get your chicken boy?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Alright lets go, I'll get my jacket" He got up and walked passed me and headed towards the door with Riley right behind him. He went over to the coat rack and proceeded to put on his green jacket. I walked in to the hall and met eyes with Granddad
"So your just gonna leave me here?" I asked in disbelief in a monotone voice
"Man, even when you sick you still hatin`" Riley said a bit irritated
"Oh boy don't start all that complainin' again, we'll be right back before you know it. And besides, you got everything you could need. I got you two cartons of orange juice, so stay away from my good orange juice. I gave you plenty of blankets including the one that you're wearing right now, you got all the water you can drink and you got plenty of that tea".
"Granddad we're out of tea, Riley drank the last of it".
"Oh... Well make some more then" He simply said as he put on his hat "Now you know my cell # so if there's an emergency just call me"
"But Granddad…" I pleading in my straining monotone voice
"Now boy stop all that complainin', like I said we'll be soon. In maybe a half hour or in an hour tops. Plus, I know we're out of aspirin so we'll get some from the store on our way back, so no worries"
"But…"
"C'mon Granddad, we gonna be late" Riley said impatiently as he opened and walked out the door
"Oh right, see you later boy call if you need anything and don't infect my house, cheers" He said quickly and then he shut the door behind him, leaving me all alone.
They are definitely not coming back anytime soon. I am half dead and they left me here alone to go get chicken. I sigh and shake my head.
Unbelievable
Two Hours Later…
[Groans]
It was 1:30 in the afternoon and I haven't gotten any better. In fact I've gotten worse, within the past hr I've thrown up twice and I felt weaker than before. [Groans] I wobbled out of the downstairs bathroom (I had to use it cause I couldn't make it upstairs) with my hand holding my stomach. Ugh, I feel so dizzy and I feel so nauseous, I need to lie down all I want to do is lie down. As I headed up the stairs…
[Ding Dong]
"Who could that be?" I walked towards the door. I don't know who was at the door but I do know one thing, they're not staying. I feel bad enough already, my day couldn't possibly get any worse. I opened the door
"Hi Huey" Said a very cheery voice
Oh no…
"Hi Jazmine" I said tiredly
She looked at me and her upbeat smile immediately became a frown
"Huey what happened? You look terrible" She says innocently
"Gee… thanks" I said sarcastically. I turned around and headed towards the banister to get support because I felt like I was gonna collapse. Jazmine of course followed me and continued to observe me. She then started to look around.
"Where's your Granddad and Riley?"
"They went out" I said blankly before coughing harshly. She then turned her head then started observing me again. God I hope she doesn't-
"Huey, are you sick?"
Of course she goes there, I hope she doesn't rub it in but I know she will
[Sigh] "Yes" I said blankly
[Gasp] "I knew it"
Here we go
"I told you, you were getting sick"
I sighed as I pinched the bridge of my nose "Yes Jazmine" I said tiredly "You were right and I was wrong for once. You win, what are you going to do now?"
"Hmmm…" She gave a thinking face "Ooo, I know!" She finally said "I'll be right back" She started to run towards the door
"But Jazmine that was just a rhetorical!-" Door slams "Question…" [Sighs] "Well at least she's gone". I went up the stairs and headed for my room. Once there I slumped on my bed and closed my eyes. After several minutes of lying down, I started to feel a bit better. My nausea and dizziness went away, my aching body wasn't aching as much, so I felt a lot more comfortable. I even found myself starting to fall asleep. Finally I can get some rest
"I'm back!" Jazmine yelled
Perhaps I spoke too soon
I re-opened my eyes and looked towards the door at Jazmine. She was wearing her nurse costume from last Halloween, she even had on her pink stethoscope. In addition to that she was holding one of Tom's old suitcases. It was the same suitcase she would use whenever she would play doctor. Oh God, I have a really bad feeling about where this is going.
"Jazmine" I said blankly "What are you doing back here and why are you wearing your nurse costume?"
"I'm here for you silly" She walked over to my bed "There's no need to fear, because nurse Jazmine is here" She said confidently
"Nurse Jazmine?" I said confused
"That's right" She said with a cheery smile "I'm here to take real good care of you. I even brought you a friend" She took her hands from behind her back and revealed a teddy bear. It was the ugliest teddy bear I've ever seen. It looked old, the fur color was pale brown, he was missing one of his button eyes, his neck and his left leg were unstitched and it looked like they were about to fall off. She put the bear next to me and then looked satisfied.
"There you go Bubba. I brought you my sick bear Huey, Bubba always keeps me company whenever I'm sick so I brought him here to keep you company"
"Oh, that's nice" I said uninterested
"Alright, now sit up please" She said as she set up her stethoscope. I didn't move and continued to stare at her
"Huey c'mon" She whined
"Jazmine this isn't like your game of doctor. I'm not one of your stuffed animals, I actually am sick y'know"
"I know that's why I'm here Huey, I want to take care of you and make you all better. I just wanna help Huey, please don't be difficult" She said sweetly
I sighed and sat up on my bed
"Thank you" She said sounding victorious. She moved in closer and put her toy stethoscope to my chest "Okay, now take a deep breath" I did as I was told but as I exhaled I had a phlegmy coughing fit which caused Jazmine to immediately pull back
"Gosh, your lungs are filled with a lot of mucus"
What was you first clue?
She then went over to her briefcase and began searching inside. She took out a notepad and a pencil then came back over to my bed
"Alright now what are your symptoms?"
"You can't be serious" I said a bit annoyed
"C'mon Huey this is what a real nurse and doctor does" She whined "Now what are your symptoms" She said going back into character
[Sighs] "Fine. I have body aches, chills, sore throat…"
"Uh-huh" She said as she wrote it down
"Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, nausea, and a headache"
"Mm-hmm. When was the last time you checked your temperature?"
"I don't know?" I shrugged "This morning I guess"
"Well, let's check it now" She went over to her brief case and put the notepad and pencil down then started searching her briefcase and took out a digital thermometer. She came back over to me "Alright, now open your mouth and say "Ah"." I scowled and simply stared at her "C'mon Huey, you promised you'd go along with this" She whined
"I promised you no such thing" I said irritated
"Well… then go along with it then. Pleeeaaaassse Huey" She begged
I sighed and rolled my eyes then did what I was told. I opened my mouth and she put the thermometer in. However, rather than putting it under my tongue she ended up putting it down my throat!
"Gah! Jazmine!" She immediately pulled back "What the hell!? Are you trying to kill me!? You're supposed to put it under my tongue not shove it down my throat!" I said aggravated before coughing
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" She said tearfully
"Just be more careful next time" I said calmly
She nodded and then slowly put the thermometer in my mouth. This time, she put it in the right position
"Okay, now let's wait a few seconds" she said calmly
After a few seconds the thermometer beeped "Alrighty, let's see what your temperature is" She took it out of my mouth and looked at it [Gasp] "102.3! Oh you poor thing, you're as sick as a dog. But don't worry I have something that'll cool you down" She then put the thermometer on the dresser next to me then headed towards the door "Be right back" she said cheerfully and shut the door. I stared at the door for a second then I laid back down on my bed then sighed as I shook my head.
This is going to be a looong day
That's the end of part one of the story, Part 2 will be uploaded soon as possible b/c it's almost done. School is really a pain in the butt, but I will try my best to complete it and upload it as soon as possible.
Also, I want to let you guys know that I did not abandon my other story "New in the Boondocks". I want to thank all of you who've not only read it but also reviewed and even favorite it. I really do appreciate it. I'm sorry that I haven't updated yet, I was writing both that story and this one at the same time and because of school work I was overwhelmed with work. So I figured I'd work on this one first since it was half way done, so "New in the Boondocks" will be uploaded but it might be awhile.
So I hope you like the story so far, I hope that everyone was in character. However, idk why but I feel Huey might possibly be a little out of character, but then again are you guys ever yourselves when your sick? Idk maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid? Idk,maybe you guys can let me know. So read, review, favorite, I really want your feedback let me know what you guys think.
Thanks for reading :)
