Authors note: Sorry this took so long! I've had time to work on this chapter during WKEC testing (state tests to show how I compare to kids in WI that took the same test), so enjoy! I'll try to have the next chapter up sometime next week! Oh, and thanks for everyone who reviewed! ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~
He's been sick for a few days now. He can't keep anything down, he's got a high fever, there's bad coughing fits, and he's occasionally delusional. Morpehus says if Neo's not better soon, we're taking him to Zion. He's giving him three more days. Looking at Neo, I remember a conversation we had the other day.
~-~-~Flashback~-~-~ "Everyone gets sick, Neo. Everyone."
"But I'm not everyone. And I never get sick." He says quietly
"You are now." I say shutting the door and walking away quietly. It feels as though I have just put a small child to sleep. Its strange how taking care of someone you love so much can feel like something else. He'll get better. I know he will. For now all he can do is rest. He hates resting when there is work he could be doing, but he knows I won't let him get up. He's stubborn sometimes, and sometimes all it takes is a little TLC to make someone obey. Good lord, I sound like I'm a fifty-year-old mother of three! (A.N. - sorry, I needed some humor to wake this up!) ~-~-~Flashback~-~-~
I've been watching him on and off just to make sure he's ok. He's been sleeping soundly for hours on end. I can't resist anymore. I need to wake him up just to be sure. "Neo?" I say quietly. He stirs a bit, but stays asleep. I say his name again, a little louder this time. His eyes crack open slightly and I give him a small smile.
"Trinity" he says, a few coughs following. I nod and touch the back of my hand to his forehead. It's definitely warmer. "Are you all right?" I ask. He shakes his head. "You've been asleep for hours. I was beginning to worry." I say, even though he still looks tired. He begins to convulse and heave. I hand him the basin that's been next to his bed. He takes it with shaking hands. Ten minutes later all he's brought up is bile.
After he's ok, I leave him to rest. Tomorrow is another day. Maybe he'll start getting better. Maybe he won't. He hasn't been sick since he was a kid, or so he says, and he's not happy now.
I suppose the real mystery is where he got it from. The Neb is sterilized regularly for the equipments sake, and any sickness in the Matrix isn't real. Who knows.the important thing is that he gets better.
~-~-~ Morpehus has told the crew to start getting ready to go to Zion. Neo's been sick for 5 days now and he shows no sign of improvement. We leave tomorrow.
Everyone looks at Neo with pity when they see him, but he doesn't take much notice. He is rarely out of his room these days though, so most never see him. He mostly sleeps these days they've noticed. They ask how he is. 'The same' I tell them. They walk away disappointed.
I go back to his room. He's awake and sitting at the small table with a glass of water in front of him. There are shadows under his eyes, emphasizing his paleness.
"You look a little better." I lie, trying to make him feel better. He shakes his head, but quickly stops, dropping his head into his hands. "Headache." He states simply. I get him an aspirin from the cabinet and he swallows it with difficulty. I help him to the small couch in the corner. I would have put him in his bed, but the sheets need changing due to sweat, spit, and water. I cover him with a thin sheet and put a clean pillow under his head. He watches me change the sheets. When I'm done I go back to him.
"Do you want to go back to your bed or just stay here?"
"Stay." He says
"Will you be ok on your own for a while?" I ask. He nods slowly. "I'm going to get something to eat and talk to Morpehus." He nods again and I give him a small kiss before I leave.
