Three days has passed today was Saturday it was only an hour's drive to Turtle Cove, Taylor finally arrived at Silver Hills. Before she visited Eric, she decided to visit the supermarket first to buy some food, she had a bad feeling about Eric. After she finished shopping she drove to Eric's house. Finally she arrived at Eric's house. She pushed the doorbell.
No answer and she pushed the button again, no answer.
This is odd he said he's here at Saturday and no work. She thought to herself. However she does not give up and she pushed the button again.
"Come in" Eric answered from inside.
She opened the door, entered his house and put her shopping bags in the refrigerator and she entered Eric's room, she was surprised to see him sitting on the bed his face red. "Eric, what's wrong?"
"I haven't been feeling well, since yesterday."
"Have you eaten anything?"
He nodded "Yes, but only cup-a-noodle"
Taylor glared at him "Cup-a-noodle? Are you kidding? You're supposed to not eat anything like that if you sick!" She hissed.
"I couldn't help it cup-a-noodle is the only food I have in this week"
"Suit yourself" Taylor sighed. "Glad that I went supermarket first".
Taylor could see it. Eric endured his sickness for the whole day since yesterday, he didn't even tell her he was sick because he did not want make her worry, but he makes a mistake. Taylor was really worried about his health and she could hear Eric weak breath. She put her left hand on Eric forehead while she put her right forehead. She could feel it, Eric forehead was really hot and he needed more rest.
"Eric, please sleep"
"But why?"
"Are you nuts or something? You're sick so you need more time to rest!"
"I don't need to-"
"Please!"
Eric gazed into her eyes. She's worried about him which was a shock to him because it was the first time someone worried about him. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead, Taylor gasped She didn't expected his action.
"What are you thinking you're doing?"
"I'm sorry Taylor, I didn't mean" Taylor chuckled and hold his hand she move it to her cheek Eric could feel the warmth.
"Before you go to sleep let me ask you something, have you changed your clothes today?"
"Not yet"
Taylor moved and opened Eric's closet and picked one of his outfits. "Raise your hand I will change your clothes"
Eric raised his hand and he let Taylor change his clothes. He couldn't reject her offer because he felt sick and if he rejected it Taylor would upset. After she put clothes on Eric, she put his dirty clothes at laundry, and washed his dirty clothes, meanwhile Eric sleeping. She would occasionally check on him to see how he was doing.
While waiting for Eric to wake up from his sleep Taylor cooked up some soup and made jelly. After she finished cooking and making jelly she wrapped jelly and put it in the refrigerator while the soup still at stove so she could warmth it easily.
Then she entered Eric room. He was still sleep, Taylor pulled a chair and put it near Eric's bed she sat down and he was not awake yet and she held his left hand and prayedfor his own cure. She was scared what if Eric passed away just like her father did when she was still little. No she shook her head Eric was Eric and her Father was her Father. Eric was not her father and her father was not Eric so there was no way Eric wouldpass away.
She stroked his hair slowly like what he did to her and then she fell asleep later because she's feel so tired today. After driving from Turtle Cove to Silver Hills and also nursing Eric, she was tires but happy to be there.
A few minutes later Eric woke up from his sleep. He saw Taylor sleeping with his left hand in hers and he smiled and again stroking her hair softly with love. Words can't describe how happy he was that Taylor really did care for a person like him. The person who had once been bitter toward her. And then he whisper softly
"Taylor, I love you" He didn't get up from his bed. He would wait Taylor patiently until she awake, beside he's sure that Taylor waiting him to awake from his sleep.
