Bold is Macy and Bold/Underline is Nick

Nick rubbed his eyes and sat up in his bed. He grabbed one of the water bottles Kevin left him. He drank the water and got out of bed. He felt a little dizzy, but continued walking anyway. He walked into the kitchen to find his mom cooking.

"Mom, I'm really hungry," Nick said.

"That's a first. You're never wanna eat when you're sick," Sandy said. She felt his forehead. "Yup, you're running a fever. Go back to bed sweetie."

"Okay," Nick said. He grabbed another bottle of water and returned to bed. His phone was vibrating when he got there. He picked it up. '1 New Message from Macy'. He sighed and pressed view.

'Hey Nick. R u feelin better?' Nick managed to smile. Macy cared about him, but only as a friend, he reminded himself.

'Not rlly. I feel XP' He replied.

'Aww :( Ur not comin 2 skool 2morro?'

'No. I'm prob dehydrated b/c i cnt stop drinking.'

'U did puke. U prob r.'

'Cn u pick up my hw?'

'K. thx mace. I cn always count on u' iYeah, to break my heart./i

'I'll txt u l8er. Feel better! Xoxo- Macy'

Nick sighed and got out of bed. Why did he have to use the bathroom so much? Oh yeah, he's been drinking water like its going out of style. As he walked back out of th bathroom, a sudden pain hit his legs.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Nick screamed at the top of his lungs. He grabbed his leg and fell to the floor.

"What's wrong?" Joe asked as he ran into the hall. Kevin soon followed.

"My leg! It hurts!" Nick said. Kevin rolled up Nick's pant leg and could see the cramp in his leg.

"Shh, its okay," Kevin said. He massaged Nick's leg.

"What's going on?" Tom asked.

"Nick has a leg cramp," Kevin said.

"Its fine now Kevin," Nick said. Kevin helped him up. Nick groaned a little.

"Still hurt a little?" Kevin asked. Nick nodded. "Joe, get an ice pack. Dad, he might need a pain reliever too." Kevin picked up Nick and laid him bed.

"Thanks Kevin," Nick said. Kevin put a pillow under Nick's leg. Joe came in with an ice pack. Kevin placed it under Nick's calf. Tom came in with Nick's soup and pain reliver.

"Take this and it should help your pain," Tom said. Nick took the two pills with some orange juice and ate his soup.

"Hey Nick," Kevin said after dinner. Nick had his back turned towards Kevin.

"I don't feel like talking," Nick muttered. Kevin noticed he had a note book with 'Nick's songbook' written on it under his hands.

"What's that?" Kevin asked.

"Nothing. Leave me alone," Nick said.

"Why are you so mad at me?" Kevin asked.

"I don't know and that's the problem Kev. You just don't understand," Nick said. "You just don't know it."

"Are you still heartbroken?" Kevin asked.

"Yes," Nick said. He looked at Kevin.

"You remember Alexis?" Kevin asked.

"That girl you dated before school ended?" Nick asked.

"Yup. She asked me out and I was so excited. We went out and she was the first girl I ever made out with. I was head over heels for her but guess what? She was using me. She just broke up with Travis and was using me to get him jelous. You know, big bro's a stud muffin too," Kevin said. Nick laughed.

"Sure," Nick said.

"Anyway, she broke my heart and I thought I would never get over her. Don't tell mom," Kevin said. He pulled up his sleeve and showed Nick his wrist. "I got her name tattooed on my wrist. It sucks that I'm stuck with this stupid tatto of her on me."

"Its not forever though, right?" Nick asked.

"No, it should be gone in a couple more months. When I'm married, I'm gonna het a tattoo, permanent, of my wife's name on my ring finger. She really hurt me, but I know that I'm gonna find someone who really does love me," Kevin said. "Just watch, its gonna be a corny moment from some chick flick where we're vacationing in the Bahamas and its our last day there so we're walking on the beach. She's gonna walk past me and boom! Insta-love!"

"Yeah right Kev," Nick said. Kevin handed Nick something.

"You may be sick, but you're not going to sleep without your retainer," Kevin said. Nick punched Kevin's arm.

"Goodnight Kevin Percy," Nick said, putting the retainer in his mouth

"Love you too bro. Trust me, it get's better," Kevin said. Nick hugged Kevin before lying down and going to sleep.
