Jade's really sick day
Hi! New chapter time, so just fair warning schools back so my updates mightn't be as regular as they have been so I apologise in advance for that!
Disclaimer I don't own victorious, this is so tedious I mean the site is called fanfiction is this really necessary? :/
Jade's POV
I lie curled into a tight ball under the dark protective sheets of my bed, hiding away from the intrusive light, my heads banging almost as if someone ran over it with a bus. I groan as the slightest noise sends me reeling and forces me to lean over the side of the bed and hurl into the bucket mum left me. I shakily wipe my mouth and pull the sheets back over me. At least I have the house to myself all day as my mum and dad are working and James is at school, I don't think I can deal with company at the moment. Suddenly the lights flicker on, I hold back a cry as it penetrates the sheets and shines into my delicate eyes "hi" a voice screams I gasp and cover my ears "Cat" I groan, she rips the sheet away from my body leaving me with only my thin pyjamas, a violent shiver runs through me, with my eyes clenched shut I reach out and try to cover myself with the blanket again. "I'm here to look after you" she cries "no" I object, drawing it out, draping my hair like a curtain in front of my face to lessen the light that can enter my eyes "why?" she whines, I so can't deal with this "I can make you soup and stuff" she pleads "Cat, I don't like soup" I snap then bring my hand to my face as a wave of pain shoots through me "fine, just let me sleep then" I surrender throwing my head back and leaning into the cushions. Cat grins triumphantly I am kind of grateful, I mean she will have had to have skipped school to look after me but I just want to be allowed to sleep it off, I hear Cat leave the room and sigh with relief as the lights switch off. I pull the sheet back over my head and close my eyes.
Just as I start to drift off a weight lands on my chest, making my laboured breathing even more difficult. My eyes snap open but I'm instantly hit with a torrent of nausea and clench them shut again when I recover slightly, my eyes open and blearily attempt to focus on the thing perched on top of me. Patches of brown and white come into focus followed by the lithe form of "Dizzy… what the" I mumble, carefully rubbing my eyes "I thought he would make you feel better" a voice explains "Cat" I exhale incredulously, Dizzy takes a hop and nuzzles my face, his wiry whiskers brushing against my cheek. I let out a low hiss of pain "get him off of me" I demand but my voice is scratchy and dry, I gently push him away "kk" Cat yells scooping him up, the breath rushes out of me and I reach for the bucket yet again and proceed to throw up. "Ewy" Cat yelps jumping away I hesitantly lean back into the cushions and beg "just put him back and leave me alone"
I manage to get about 4 hours of sleep in between waves of pain and nausea, after a while I begin to feel slightly better as the pounding headache turns into a dull pain, easier to ignore. When I feel well enough I can slowly push myself up to lean on my headboard, my throat is bone dry "Cat" I yell as loud as my aching throat will allow, hoping that she hadn't left, I hear someone pounding up the stairs in response and almost crack a smile. Cat skips into my room beaming at the thought of being able to help "get me some water and some paracetamol" I demand, closer to my normal attitude "kk" she agrees and hurries out the room, she returns a minute later with a clear glass of water and two small white tablets I hold them to the back of my throat and swallow them with the help of the water. I finish off the water and hand the empty glass to Cat "thanks" I murmur I feel better almost instantly as the cool water quenches my burning throat and the tablets begin their work, I tap the empty space of bed next to me as an invitation "did I make you feel better?" Cat asks "yeah, a little bit" I accept and she skips over to accept my invitation, I turn slightly to face her "what were you doing downstairs?" I wonder, she better not have broken anything "well first I put Dizzy back and then I tried to give Peppa a hug but she bit me" she smiles showing me her bandaged finger "then I went into the kitchen and had a jam sandwich, I hope that's ok" she threats glancing up at me, I nod in acceptance "and then I watched some TV" she finishes. "What did you watch?" I ask "well first I watched seaseme street then I watched this thing with a dog that talks and eats all the time and him and his human friends solve mysteries" she grins "Scooby doo?" I input "no, wait yes" she replies "I like the dog" she informs me "what did you do?" she queries, I raise my eyebrow disbelievingly, is she being serious "oh yeah" she grins and starts laughing hysterically "No" I snap clasping my hands to my ears , still not one hundred per cent. She falls silent "thanks for looking after me" I mumble "its k" Cat beams. We chat for about half an hour before I start to feel quite a bit better, I want coffee and don't trust Cat with boiling water I sigh and kick the sheets of me "where are you going" Cat panics "I want coffee" I snap and pull myself off the bed but as soon as I get up I regret it instantly as the room starts spinning, I gasp and feel myself falling backwards and then everything goes black.
Cat's POV
Oh my god, Jadey was just getting up and she fell asleep even though she wasn't tired, like Tori did in the play, what do I do? I spring of the bed and run up to crouch near her head "Jadey" I cry shaking her. I start to panic, what if she doesn't wake up I know she says the most irritating song ever is baby monkey riding on a pig but I think it's really cute because there's a really cute little monkey riding on a piggy. No I have to help Jadey; anyway I have it on my phone so I grab it and play it on full volume right next to her ear, the song ends. Still nothing. Maybe, in that short film we were in ages ago when I pretended to faint Jade slapped me "sorry Jade" I apologise slapping her face her head snaps round but she doesn't wake up "sorry" I try again, nothing. Oh no I better get help, I grab my phone and mass text Tori, Andre, Robbie and Beck 'come to Jade's house fast, 47 Oakmere drive the one with the big fence, cuz we really need help' they should be home since school will have finished about half an hour ago, James is at after school club because their parents work late on Fridays. I try to move Jade's sleeping form onto the bed but she's too heavy so I just pull a pillow from the bed and put it under her head, she looks tired and even paler than usual. I wonder what she's dreaming about, I hope it's nice her face is blank so I can't tell, usually I can see whether Jadey's having a good or bad dream by her expression and also if she's having a bad dream she moves about a lot and kicks.
I hear the quack of my phone and hurry to read it, there's one from Andre and one from Robbie
To Cat from Andre: Why? What's up little red?
To Cat from Robbie: how come?
I send them both the same message 'Jade fell asleep and won't wake up' oh wait if people come over they might see the bunnies, Jade would hate me if that happened so I run outside and throw the tarp over the hutch before returning to Jade's room, my phone's flashing. I move over to it and have four new messages
To Cat from Robbie: ok I'm on my way
To Cat from Tori: will I regret it?
Tori probably thinks Jade got my phone or something, she's never been invited to Jade's which is sad because Jade's house is so nice and it's really big too, big enough that we could all sleepover and have our own rooms if Jade's mum, dad and brother weren't in but Jade doesn't like having people round I reply 'no.' I hope Robbie gets here soon it's scary being alone in the house when Jadey's sleeping, I hope she's ok. My next message is from Beck:
To Cat from Beck: ok I'm coming, what's up?
I forward on the message I sent to Andre and Robbie in answer and scroll down to my next message
To Cat from Andre: oh god is she breathing?
Phooey, I knew I had forgotten something I glance over to see her chest rising and falling evenly and felt a steady pulse in her wrist, maybe she was just tired and sleeping because Jade can sleep through a lot but not usually this much, she can sleep through noise but if someone touches her she wakes up to slap them or maybe she does that in her sleep. But she is sick so she might be even more of a deep sleeper than usual, when my brothers sick he goes to sleep for ages but that might be because of the special medicine mum has to give him, I don't think Jade needs special medicine. There's a knock on the door from downstairs so I jump up and run over to Jade's window seat and hop up so I can push open the window, after seeing that it's Robbie and Beck standing below me I lean out and yell "the doors open" they nod and push open the door and a second later they enter the room "careful" I gasp as Robbie nearly steps on Jade as she sleeps near the door he gives a startled cry and jumps back "so is she ok?" Robbie asks "I don't know" I cry "she's sleeping" I slam the window and hop down and skip over to them "she probably tried to get up before she was well then fainted" Beck theorises "yeah, she was really sick this morning and then she got up to make some coffee" I agree rapidly nodding my head.
Beck's POV
It's almost laughable, it's so…Jade, I mean she's just so independent, she's the type of person to try and run before she can walk. Its hell to look after her she spends the whole time instead of resting and getting better arguing that she's fine and about how she can look after herself, her body disagrees. It must have been terrifying for poor Cat to see your best friend just suddenly faint, it seems like Jade was pretty bad as well judging by the amount of vomit in the bucket lying by her bed "what do we do?" Cat asks "can you lift her into the bed?" Robbie wonders looking over at me, she does look pretty uncomfortable, lying at an odd angle on the floor "sure" I lean down and pull her limp form up off the ground, her arm and hair dangle down and sway as I move her over to the bed. I gently lower her down, careful not to hurt her. As I lay her down on the bed I take a second to brush a stray piece of hair out of her face, she looks so peaceful but deathly pale. From downstairs there's a loud banging on the door "I'll get it" I offer and leave the room. I push open the door to find Andre and Tori "Andre explained and picked me up, how is she?" Tori says in way of greeting "she seems fine, just tired" I explain "has she woken up?" Andre asks, a worried expression on his face "not yet" I frown before turning to head back up to Jade's room with Andre and Tori following behind me but Andre halts halfway up the stairs "one sec" he calls before turning back downstairs. He returns a minute later with a glass of water in his hand, he shrugs at my questioning gaze "it works in the movies" he defends.
Jade's POV
I gasp as I'm wrenched out of the comfortable darkness into the painful world of consciousness, water fills my eyes and mouth, and I cough and splutter, wiping the water away from my eyes. I open them and am met by a hazy image, like bad reception on a TV, I rub my eyes again and the room comes into focus I lock onto the faces of Robbie, Beck, Andre and Tori along with Cat's and my headache return with a vengeance "what the hell? Is this some sort of party" I manage to spit out, my face is scrunched up in pain "hi" Cat waves I groan and throw my head back, taking in that it was Robbie who clutched the empty glass so I can get revenge when I feel better. I feel like I was hit by a bus dumped in a lake and then pulled out and punched in the stomach or something and being surrounded by people is really not helping. I try to find the energy to glare at Cat who I'm assuming invited them but fail miserably and instead just sigh and close my eyes "how are you feeling" Vega asks "worse now that you're here" I snap, my eyes still clenched shut there's silence for a while "hey you wanna watch TV? There's popcorn in the cupboard" Cat suggests, what the hell so now they're eating my popcorn and watching TV in my house, whatever as long as I'm left alone "hey Cat" I cry as she starts to leave "get me another drink and some more paracetamol please" I plead "kk" she accepts and skips out, returning a few minutes later with the promised items "thanks" I murmur "wanna come watch with us?" Cat offers I open one eye to stare incredulously at her "Beck or Andre can carry you" as if my dignity hasn't been shattered enough "I'm fine" I sigh closing my eyes again and listening as Cat slips out of my room and follows the others downstairs. I groan again, worst sick day ever Cat can't even look after a goldfish let alone a person. I take my tablets and soon empty the glass of water I roll over and place it on the floor before curling up into a foetal position, as sleep takes me I'm left with one thought 'let them leave me alone'
Beck's POV
"worse now that you're here" Jade snaps, well as long as she's well enough to be mean to Tori she's fine but the pained expression tainting her face makes my heart go out to her, it's so unusual to see her show any weakness or to be so vulnerable, I'm just glad she's awake "hey you wanna watch TV? There's popcorn in the cupboard" Cat suggests, typical Cat her attention span is so short now Jade's awake her minds probably wandered, it's obvious Jade wants to be alone so we all nod in agreement and head down to the living room. As I pass through the kitchen I glance out of the window and smirk as I see Peppa and Dizzy's hutch covered in tarp. I remember getting her Dizzy, she had been angry at first saying that it was an awful present and that she hated the fleabag, her words but it soon became obvious that she had fallen in love, she treated him like royalty, probably still does. She went and bought Peppa just to keep him company, well that's what she said but I think that she probably just wanted another rabbit and Peppa's perfect, with her beautiful exterior but vicious bite. I sigh at the memory and continue onto the living room. I hope Jade feels better soon.
So Jade had a really sick day! Not just a sick day! So what did you think, love it hate it despise it? Let me know
P.s. I'm so addicted to baby pig riding on a monkey, if you haven't seen it look it up on youtube it's so funny and I think it's something Cat would like!
