Chapter 8
5:00:00 PM (on Miley's watch)
Jake's P.O.V.
I flipped more through the pages. The pages were full of Hannah Montana lyrics. I recognized them from her album. There were also some I haven't even heard of, but under the title it said 'By: Hannah Montana'.
Miley moaned. I looked at her, sleeping. She was sweating, and shivering at the same time. Now I was very worried. I shook her again. She screamed and opened her eyes, which were blood-shot red. Though her face was very pale.
"It's okay Miley." I said in my softest voice, and I held her hand, which was burning.
I took the back of my hand and I pressed it against her forehead, than her neck. I was no doctor, but I knew she had a high fever.
"You definitely have a fever, so don't even say that you are fine."
"Ugh. I d-d-don't – " but she was too weak to continue, and there was no point for her to argue, because she knew she had a fever. She nodded.
I pushed the service button. The flight attendant came immediately.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"Um, she, Miley, has a high fever. Can we give her medicine or something?"
"Hold on, I'll be back in a minute." The flight attendant said.
She came back with a thermometer, and gave it to me, since she couldn't reach Miley since I was sitting by the window. I took it, as Miley slowly opened her mouth. I gently placed it in her mouth and held it there. About 10 seconds later I pulled it out after it started to beep. It was 103.8!
"Oh my God." I mumbled handing it to the flight attendant. Her eyes grew wide. Miley looked at us nervously.
"What is it?" Miley asked her words dry.
"Oh it's just a normal fever." The flight attendant said. But I knew she was just saying that so she wouldn't get Miley worried. She left quickly before Miley could say anything.
"Where did she go?"
"I think she went to get medicine." She moaned and coughed. She coughed for like 2 minutes. Then she started sobbing a little bit. I couldn't take it any longer, and I got up and wrapped my arms around her.
"It'll be okay." I whispered in her ear, trying to reassure her.
Miley's P.O.V.
The flight attendant came back with a tray. It had 2 Tylenols, 1 Ibuprofen, a bowl of lukewarm water and a towel. It also had a cup of water on it. Jake opened his tray as she set it down.
"Jake, honey, you should probably move to an empty seat, otherwise you might get a fever to. I'll sponge her."
"No, it's okay. I'll do it." Jake said
"I don't think that would be wise. It would be horrible if you got sick too."
"I don't want to leave her. I'll do it." Jake said firmly.
For saying that, I wanted to jump and kiss him. But I couldn't even curve my mouth to form a smile.
"Um, okay. But you be careful. I'll be back in 15 minutes to check up on her, and if the medicine isn't helping then, well – hopefully it should work." She said quietly in Jake's ear. Although I couldn't hear her, but Jake nodded.
I let out a shiver, and Jake threw his blanket off and he wrapped it around my other blanket and tucked it in my chin.
"Th-th-thanks." I shivered.
"Shhhh. You need all your energy." He took the 2 Tylenols and Ibuprofen and put it in my mouth. Then he handed me the glass. The cool water slid down my throat, and I shivered once again.
Regular P.O.V.
Jake removed the armrest that separated him and Miley. He took grabbed her soflty and he moved her body onto his lap. He took off her flip-flops and put her feet on the seat. Miley then slept on Jake's lap, as he sponged her with the lukewarm water. Soon Miley fell asleep, and Rachelle came.
"Jake! What are you doing? Why is Miley like on you?" She screamed. Rachelle's lipstick was smudged and her hair was really wild. She had been gone for a long time.
"Shhhh! You're gonna wake her up!" Jake whispered in a harsh tone.
"And where have you been?" Jake asked with an annoyed tone.
"N-n-nowhere." She stuttered. Just than a kid named Josh came down the aisle.
"There you are, Rach! You left your purse on my seat." Josh had lipstick smudged on his lips.
"So that's where you were! Kissing other boys. Well you know what Rachelle it's over!" Jake yelled.
"No, Jakey, I didn't mean too I'm so sorry! Josh was the one who kissed me." Rachelle said, lying.
"Don't ever call me Jakey, so FUCK OFF!" Jake screamed. Everyone was staring at Jake with shock. Rachelle ran away crying. He felt kind of bad, because he was using her, but she still cheated on him so I guess they were even; but she didn't have to know that.
"Whew." Jake said when Rachelle left.
"Jake, how long has it been?" Miley croaked her eyes half open.
"About an hour or something." Jake said. Miley started crying again. She shivered so much that Jake got up from her lap, and lay down next to her. It was a tight fit, but he managed. Then he held her in his arms like a little baby, and he whispered soothing words in her ear, as they both drifted off to sleep.
A/N - I kind of took this last part from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants: Girls in Pants, with Bridget and Eric. I loveeeeee that book! I haven't read the new one yet, but I ordered it from the library, so it should come soon! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I know I didn't, because it was kind of boring and short, because I just wanted to update, so I guess you can call this a filler. There will be a lot of fillers because since the story is called 24, and each chapter is about an hour, I am going to have about 24 chapters, or less, so I have a LOT to write, and I am still trying to think of a plot that will last long, but until then, there you go! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...REVIEW!!! If I get to 120 reviews, I promise I will update and write a really LONG chapter! So pretty please review!
