Dawn's POV

It was weird being at school without Dicky. Who could of thought. It's really hard going through school without your comic relief and it turns out, people will really take notice to you if they're missing.

"Where's Dicky?"

I hear someone say for the millionth time this morning.

"Sick"

I say with an eye roll.

"Oh no that's terrible!"

I look up to see Sadie.

"Yeah it's pretty terrible."

I say flatly,

"But he'll be fine soon."

Sadie grabs both of my hand,

"Send him my love, I'm praying for him."

I nervously laugh and smile,

"Okay..."

I say as I turn in my heel and walk away. Sadie was always so over dramatic about everything. Dicky was going to be fine. Right?

Dicky's POV

My phone goes off again just like it has been for the past hour. I turn if off and lay my head back down. Everybody keeps texting me, asking if I'm okay. They're treating it like I'm dying. I'm not! It's just the flu or something! My mom comes in to check on me. She's holding a thermometer and approaches me slowly and cautiously.

"Hey Dicky."

"Hey Mom"

"How you feeling?"

"Terrible..."

"Well I need to check your tempature again."

I sigh. I knew it

"Okay."

She puts her hand in my forehead and shoves the thermometer under my tongue. It's goes off and the number still hasn't changed. Which is weird cause I feel different than I did before. Not better. Definitely still sick... just different.

Nicky's POV

Everywhere we go people just ask us about our missing quad. It's like they've taken a whole new liking to us. We've been getting so much attention, I almost feel like they have some kind of ulterior motive. Last year when Dawn broke her arm or the year before that when Dicky was in crutches or ever last month when Ricky had a black eye we didn't get attention like this! Maybe a few, "I'm so sorry!"'s here and there but this felt different. Like the problem was bigger then we thought and everyone could see that but us...

A/N: here's a short little update... sorry! I've been working on 5 other stories and chapters and stuff! I'm going to the beach tomorrow so the car ride should give me a long time to write! And this time I promise! Updating soon. For real!
