Sick Days
Chapter 6
O.K., so after his little screaming fit, Rowen was definitely regretting screaming so very loud. Why? Well, that was because now his head was just killing him! Yes, you heard me, killing him! It was like a demented little monkey (otherwise known as a child…) was beating him over the head with a sledgehammer.
Of course, this did not, by any means, stop him from glaring at Sage. He could almost swear the guy was bent on destroying him, or at least incapacitating him…who knew anymore?
Rowen moaned and seized his head as a sudden wave of pain vibrated through his aching skull. However, when he opened his eyes again he found Sage looking at him with concern, his violet depths pools of concern. Rowen's stomach flipped as a wave of nausea overtook him.
"Are you alright?" Sage asked, for what seemed the umpteenth time. Rowen gritted his teeth in annoyance.
"What do YOU think?" he barked irritably and immediately regretted it when his head throbbed in pain and he saw the brief look of hurt cross his friend's face.
"Sorry.." he murmured quietly thereafter.
"It's alright, you aren't feeling your greatest." Sage said in a calm, quit voice so as not to hurt Rowen's aching head. Inside he was screaming for the doctor to arrive soon, he really wanted to get Rowen home, comfortable, and relaxed. Not to mention feeling better!
Suddenly, the doorknob began to jiggle and Rowen froze, doom spreading across his features, headache long forgotten.
This was it, the moment of truth. The moment that Rowen had been dreading and Sage had been waiting for the whole time they'd been here. For Sage it was a relief. For Rowen it was death and doom all together. Worse than the Q-tip from hell, worse than the perky nurses, and yes…worse than getting his blood drawn (but not by too much)! This was the evil, the dreaded, the crazy/insane doctor that was, at this point, the worst thing that could enter Rowen's life!
And…. It was a kind looking man with sparkle in his eyes as he smiled cheerfully and rightfully at all that crossed his path? Not some insane sicko who was bent on causing mayhem and destroying his patients? Where was his deranged lunatic? The man in white he had feared since he was just a little Rowen?
"Hello, my name is doctor Teki!" the man smiled, letting the door close behind him with a soft click. Rowen stared, and Sage smiled.
"It's good to see you again! I haven't seen you since collage!"
Dun!
Dun!
DUN!
TBC!
