Olivia slowly climbed out of bed and went into her bathroom. She looked in the mirror and saw a ghost. She was white as a sheet with sunken in eyes and a sweaty forehead. She was shaky and weak. "God." She whispered to herself. She ran some cold water and cupped her hands in it. She let it run over them and it felt nice. She then put her face in her hands with the water and let it run down her cheeks. She sighed and decided to change her shirt as it was soaked in sweat. She'd have taken a nice cold shower but she was afraid she couldn't stand much longer and she wasn't sure where Elliot was. Once she was changed she decided to see where Elliot was. She was getting tired again but she had to see if he was still there so she crept carefully to the living room and saw him doing paperwork. "Hi." She said from behind him.
His head snapped up. "Hey. You're up. You shouldn't be."
"I wanted to uh, change." She said sitting next to him on the couch as she didn't think she could stand anymore.
"Are you hungry?" He asked hopefully.
"No." She answered obviously. "But I know you're going to force me."
"Yep." He grinned at her. "Toast or soup?" He asked.
She shrugged. "Don't care. I can do it you know."
"No you can't. You'd be lucky even to stand up again." He said.
She knew it was true, she didn't know how she'd get back to her room, but she figured he'd get her there.
Elliot brought in some dry toast and a glass of OJ. "Thanks." She said taking a sip.
"Here." He handed her another Tylenol. "It's been long enough." He told her. "Be honest, how bad do you feel?"
She gave a slight laugh. "Uh." She grunted in response. "Been better."
"I assumed that. But if you could be more specific…" He rolled his eyes. That was definitely his Liv.
"Ah, my head hurts, I'm tired, weak, chills but hot at the same time, kinda nauseous, and oh yeah, there's the cough." She listed. "Lucky me."
Elliot had to laugh at her sarcasm. "Yeah, sounds like fun." He teased. "Okay, well as soon as you finish that I'll take you back up and you can try to sleep this off some more."
"Thanks." She said as she took another bite.
He smiled watching her as the phone rang again.
