Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just haven't really been feeling that into this story anymore. But still, I thought I owed it to you to write another chapter. So...here you go :)

Block's Residence
Massie's Bedroom
7:15 AM

Massie woke up that morning to a headache and temperature. According to Inez she had to "Stay in bed. Don't move. Don't breathe near me. It could be contagious!" She's a quite lovely woman, isn't she? Massie rolled over in bed, groaning. Today there was a pep rally and she really wanted to go. Alicia, Dylan and she were all going to wear their school colors and sit with the boys. She even got Claire to do it with them! Why did she have to get sick today?

"Calling all sick people!" she heard someone shout from her doorway. "Shut up!" she practically whispered, the shouting was not helping at all. Dylan giggled while stepping into Massie's room. She made her way to her bed and then climbed right in next to Massie. "D-Dylan?" Massie questioned, while squinting her eyes trying to see if it really was her.

"The one and only" Dylan replied cockily. "What are you doing here?" Massie asked while trying to sit up.

"Well…" Dylan sighed, "I told my Mom that I wasn't feeling well and she let me stay home. Once I heard her pull out of the driveway I rode my bike right over!"

"But, how'd you find out I was sick?" Massie asked.

"You told Alicia didn't you? I mean if you told her, I was bound to find out…along with the rest of the world!"

Massie sighed, "True story."

At that exact moment Massie's phone began to vibrate frantically, telling her she had a call. She flipped open her cell phone, not bothering to see who it was.

"Hey Leesh" she answered with a scraggly voice.

"I hate you" Alicia sniffled, "Why?" Massie asked hurt.

"You got me sick and now I have to stay home all alone and-"

"Alicia, my parents aren't home" Massie rolled her eyes.

"Oh!" Alicia exclaimed, "In that case, I'm at your front door. Come let me in"

She hung up and Dylan ran down the long staircase to open the door. "What up A Money?" Dylan greeted.

"Nothing much D-Man" Alicia smiled back, "where's the patient?"

"Up in her bedroom, being all sick and nasty" Dylan replied as the two girls climbed the staircase and walked down the long hallway towards Massie's room.

"Morning sunshine" Alicia smiled.

Massie grumbled something that neither girl was able to make out.

"Ok, so I brought Advil, Gatorade, piles of 'Seventeen' magazine, first season of 'Gossip Girl', 10 different shades of purple nail polish and your favorite pillow that you left at my house last weekend." Alicia stated as she poured out all the contents of her Ralph Lauren bag.

"And…" Dylan added, "I've got the wash cloths to cool you off, sweatshirts for when you get too cold and of course...your specialized UGG slippers you got imported from Australia last weekend" Dylan smiled.

Massie snuggled deeper into her blankets, "thanks guys" she smiled. She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes. Soon her breathing became even and it was obvious she was sleeping.

"So do we raid her pantry now… or later?" Dylan asked.

Alicia pretended to think for a moment, "Now" she nodded quickly and the two girls ran for the kitchen.

Massie's eyes fluttered open and the voice of Serena Vander Woodson rang through her ear drums. "I swear if that girl doesn't kiss Dan now…I might die!" Alicia exclaimed. Massie began to sit up, but found that if she did her headache just became worse. "A little help?" she managed to squeak out.

Alicia and Dylan turned around from their seat on the edge of the bed. Dylan tossed her Fritos to the side and crawled over to Massie and helped her up. "Feeling any better?" Alicia asked, while inserting a gummy worm into her mouth. She felt like being a little gutsy today and eat some calories.

"I guess" Massie sighed, putting her hand to her forehead. Dylan grabbed the thermometer and placed it in Massie's mouth. 20 seconds later, she pulled it out.

"99.5" Dylan read, "Yay! You're almost better"

Massie rolled her eyes, "I don't feel any better"

Alicia smiled sympathetically, "You will soon. Ooh I know, how about we watch 'The Notebook' that always helps!"

Massie wrapped her Egyptian cotton blankets around her body and shrugged her shoulders, "Sure, why not?"

Alicia ran over to Massie's DVD wall and started searching. Yup, Massie owned so many DVD's that she had a wall dedicated to them. Alicia ran her finger across the DVD's in search for the right one. "Breakfast Club, Breakfast at Tiffany's …" she read off.

Dylan rolled her eyes, "Leesh. It's obviously gonna be in the N's not the B's"

Alicia blushed, "I knew that…" she then bent down to the N's and screamed, "I found it!"

Massie groaned from the sudden shouting, "Sorry" Alicia whispered.

Alicia inserted the DVD into the DVD player and went to the main menu, pressing play.

"Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone." The older Noah in the movie narrated.

Dylan, Alicia and Massie were by now bawling their eyes out, "It's so true!" Dylan exclaimed.

Inez walked into the room, "Ms. Block…you have a visitor"
