Chapter 4

Sickness

I don't own anything

I'm sorry about chapter 3 being so short I couldn't think of anything else. This one should be longer.

For the past couple of days we had the same routine at night. I would fall asleep on the couch and Toby would carry me back to my room. Then but tonight Toby said to me

"Ant would you mind if I go to bed early tonight?" I think for a moment "No" I say and then we go to bed. It would be the first night I would try to sleep in my bed. I sleep well and it felt good but I missed lying beside Toby and having him comfort me. It was 10:00 before I woke up. Toby hadn't come to wake me like he usually did. That concerned me a little. I slip out of bed and walk down the hallway to his room. I knock lightly on his door. No answer. I knock again a little harder this time. No answer. I turn the door handle. "Thank God" I say to myself as it turns and the door opens.

"Toby" I say quietly walking to his bed. He was lying still but I could see the movement of his chest. "Toby" I say again giving him a small shake. His eye open and he sits up.

"Ant. Is that you?" he asks and I sigh with relief

"Yeah it's me" I say. I climb up on to his bed

"I don't feel so good" Toby says. I place my hand on his neck like I have seen many teachers and parents do when a child says that they don't feel well. He was hot very hot.

"Let me get you a glass of water" I say leaving the room and reappearing with a glass of water. "Thanks Ant." Toby says taking the glass from my hand and drinking it.

"Would you get me my phone so I can text Olga?" I give a nod and walk over to where he has his phone plugged in. I pull the cord out and walk the phone back to him. "Thanks Ant." He takes the phone and to text Olga. Within moments he gets a text back. "Okay she says she will be here in about fifteen minutes" Toby says and I give a nod

"You should rest" I say to him and without hesitation he lies back down and falls asleep. Just like Toby said Olga arrives fifteen minutes later.

"How is he?" Olga asks when I let her in "Fine" I say "He fell asleep after you wrote him back." She nods "Sounds like he's sick." I give a nod "He was hot." I say recalling how he felt. "I'll go take his temperature" Olga says leaving the room to get the thermometer. We then walk to Toby's room. "Hey Olga" Toby says with a smile. Olga gives a small smile.

"Let me take your temperature" Olga says and Toby doesn't resist. Toby then rests as Olga takes me out to the store to buy ingredients to make soup. Olga said it would be the perfect medicine. While we were at the store Olga vlogged and I walked along beside her sometimes sneaking my way into the view of the camera. We got all the ingredients and went home. While Olga was making the soup I sat at the foot of Toby's bed and played with Gryphon. When the soup was ready Toby felt well enough to at least come eat at the table. The soup was good and like Olga had said it helped with Toby's temperature

. Olga was going to stay the night so that if Toby got worse she would be here to help. I was very happy about that. She sleep on the couch while I sleep on my bed. It was a nice night until I heard the footsteps running to the bathroom. I pushed the off of me and run to the bathroom. That was when I was him. Toby was leaning over the toilet and I could hear him throwing up.

I ran for Olga. She awoke when I shook her and we run to the bathroom. When Toby was done throwing up we looked light headed. Then all of a sudden he fell and his head hit the sink causing a cut across his forehead. It started to bleed.

"Ant stay here." Olga said "I need to get the phone." She ran out of the room. I was starting to cry now I wasn't really sure why. I just knew that I needed Toby in my life and I was afraid to lose him. Olga came back while talking to someone.

"Okay" she said and she hung up the phone "I just called the ambulance they should be here really soon" Within minutes I heard the sirens. They took Toby outside so that they had more room to work. I was still in the long shirt I had worn to bed but I didn't mind. Olga and I walk outside to watch what happens. After a while someone walks up to us he was holding a sweatshirt "Here kid you may need this"

He said handing the green bundle to me. It was a Tobuscus sweatshirt. I smile at it while I pull it over my cold body letting the warmth of it warm me. Then he talks to Olga "Would you too like to ride in the ambulance? We need to take him in." We both nod. I had fallen asleep on the ride there.

I had a dream. Everything was dark and I was in the same clothing I was wearing. Then I saw Toby sitting not too far away. I ran to him. He was wearing the clothing he wore when I first met him. "Toby" I said but he didn't respond "Toby" I say again this time my voice cracking a little. Again no response so I walk around to the front of him. He had the same cut on his forehead. It was bleeding more than it was at home.

I watched in horror as he then fell to the ground and his eyes shut. He wasn't breathing.

"It's okay" I opened my eyes "I was just a dream" Olga said. I looked around the room it was in waiting room. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked "That may help" I give a nod and tell Olga about my dream

"I can't lose him" I say starting to cry "I can't lose someone who loves me. Not again" I was really crying now. Olga rapped her arms around me

"It's gonna be okay. We won't lose him. If we saw him do you think you would feel better?" I give a small nod. We walk down a hallway and Olga talks to a doctor and we enter a room. On the bed that was in the room laid Toby. I smile and rush over to him. I grab his hand and hold it for a long moment. His forehead was no longer bleeding.

"Olga may I barrow your phone?" She nods most likely knowing what I was going to do. I went to the camera like I have seen Toby do and switch to the recorder. I aim the camera at Toby and press record.

"Audience? Wha- What are you doing looking at Toby lying in a hospital bed?" I say without as much emptiest as he does "We should be quite he needs his rest. He got sick" I walk over to Olga

"Could you do the intro?" I ask and she puts her thumb on the lens to do the darkness, redness, whiteness intro. "Thanks" I say after she does it. I walk back over to Toby and for a few moments have the camera pointed at me while I lean against his bed watching him sleep.

"Well that's all I have. Bless your face. If you sneezed during this video bless you. If you want to win a T-shirt post a get well comment to Toby below. Peace off. Badadododododododo subscribe. Boop" I then end the video and hand the phone back to Olga.

"Would you like me to post this on his channel?" I give a nod and then she says "Okay we'll call it 'Ant's first vlog and post.'" I smile and she posts it. Within moments there are comments. I read some to myself

"So that's why there was no Toby Games today. Get well soon Toby" I shut the phone and smile when I think about how much Toby means to his fans. How much me means to me.
