Chapter 15 - Illness



"Christina" Christina turned around and immediately put her head down.

"Yes Andy?" Christina spoke.

"Do you know where Mai is?" Andy concerned about his girlfriend that hasn't been to school for a couple of days.

"She's home sick" Christina answered.

"How do you know she's sick?" Andy said sternly just in case she might be lying to him.

"I delivered her homework to her everyday so far" Christina didn't dare to look up.

"I will deliver her homework to her today" Andy has been dating Mai for a few months now.

Christina nodded.

"You are dismissed" Andy waved his hand.

"Thank You" Christina backed up and turned around without looking at Andy and quickly walked away.







"Hey Andy! Over here!" Joe screamed.

"Hey guys" Andy greeted his two best friends.

"That's a lot of books even for you Andy" Terry looked the stack of books Andy was holding in his arms.

"Oh I'm going to visit Mai, and these are her homework" Andy explained.

"I see, I heard she's really sick" Joe scratch his head.

"Where did you hear that from?" Andy asked curiously

"My Sister, everyday when she comes home she would cook something hot and leave to her house" Joe replied.

"So I'll guess I'll see you at home" Terry smiled a little.

"Yeah" Andy taking a step forward.

"How long have you and Mai been together anyway?" Joe asked suddenly.

"About 3 months" Andy didn't know exactly either.

"The school outing is coming up very soon, you think she'll get better before then? She's been talking about it a lot and she if she misses it I think she'll never forgive herself" Terry worried about Andy's girlfriend.

"I hope she does" Andy sighed.

Andy separated from Terry and Joe; he went straight for Mai's house. Soon he came across a pale white house with a beautiful garden.

He walked up the doorstep and remembered their first date. He smiled as he rang the door bell. He heard someone walk down the stairs and stumble over something while trying to reach the door.

"Andy" Mai coughed. She was covered up in a blue blanket and her hair was a bit out of place.

She still looked beautiful in Andy's eyes. "I was worry about you"

"Sorry" Mai opened the door wider offering Andy to come in.

"I brought your homework" Andy raised a couple of books with papers slipped inside of them.

"Thank You" Mai croaked.

"I think you should get back to bed" Andy almost saw Mai fainted.

Andy helped Mai get back upstairs and he set her homework on the desk next to her bed. Mai sat on her bed just dozing off for a minute until Andy spoke to her.

"Do you need anything?" Andy bended down in front of Mai and looked deeply into her eyes.

"I could use some hot water" Mai asked kindly.

"No problem" Andy kissed his forehead and felt the warmness it gave off. 'She must be in real pain' Andy thought.

Andy came back with a glass of hot water in his hands. "Do you feel better than you did? It would be a shame if you missed the school outing to Cherry Park"

Mai gratefully took the hot glass and took a great slip. "No" Mai frowned.

"What are you doing?" Andy asked as he saw Mai get up and sit at her desk.

"Homework" Mai weakly smiled.

"You're in no shape to do such thing" Andy saw how weak and sensitive she was.

"I have to finish, or else Christina won't have anything to bring to school tomorrow morning" Mai opened her books and started working.

"Well there wasn't much today" Andy knew she was devoted to her studies.

Andy and Mai did their homework together and every now and then Andy would help Mai get something to drink or to eat. When the clock read 6:23 PM they were both done with all their work. Mai placed her things back into order.

"Here I'll take those" Andy offered to turn in her homework tomorrow.

"Thank You" Mai voice gave out on her again.

"Mai, you should get some sleep" Andy commanded.

"I think you're right" Mai laid on her bed to weak to pull up the covers.

Andy came over and tightly pulled the cover Mai's body. Andy was walking out of her room when he heard she spoke.

"Andy, please don't go yet. Stay with me just a little longer......Please" Mai's voice travel to him from under the blankets.

"Of course Mai" Andy came back to Mai and lay in the bed beside Mai. He wrapped one of his arms around Mai and moved his head where he can smell her sweet scented hair. They both soon fell asleep.

Andy woke up at the sound of the door bell. He looked at the time; it screamed 7:38 PM. He and Mai had been asleep for about an hour. Mai rumbled a little under the blankets and tried to get up.

"Don't move Mai, I'll get it" Andy patted her arm.

"Thanks" Mai tried to get comfortable again.

Andy walked downstairs and to the door. He opened it and was shocked at who was at the door.
