I wake up to a cold ass peice of metal on my chest. Stethoscope. I look up at the doc and he's looking at me like, "Sorry." I shug it off and it registers that Amanda's still holding my hand, because she squeezes it gently. I look over at her as the doc looks me over. When He gets done he takes Amanda into the hallway. And it kinda pisses me off. So, I go out there too. "Andy, you should be in bed," She tells me as I close the door behind me. "I have a right to know what's going on with me. I'm staying." She shakes her head and mumbles "Stubborn little..." I cock my eyebrow and ask, "Stubborn little what?" She gives me a look that says, 'Andy, don't be stupid.' I smile at her a little. She rolls her eyes shaking head and smiling. I smile bigger, knowing I've succeeded in my mission of making her smile. The doc is smiling at us. "So, what exactly is wrong with me and how can we fix it?" I ask. He says, "You're body was exhausted. There was a lack of energy for anything-immune system included. Has your diet changed at all lately?" I hang my head. Amanda rubs my back. "There was a while that he didn't eat much if he ate at all. He was depressed but that's over. He's back to eating normally. Or was until he started to throw up." I keep my head down as she explains. "It was long enough to weaken his immune system, apparently. Because he's only got a bad case of the flu. If you make him rest, keep his fluids up, and at least get him to eat a little bit, he should be better in a week or two; depending on how stubborn he is. And when he is actually able to eat." She nods and I scratch the back of my neck. "That may be a while..." I mutter. She hugs me. I close my eyes as I smile. I hug her back. She puts her head on my chest. "You'll be better in no time, Andy. I'll make sure of it." I smile broader. I kiss the top of her head and thank her. She squeezes me a little and says, "Never a problem. No thanks necessary." I chuckle. she tickles me and I squeak. "She giggles and says, "Bedtime, Andy." I moan. "Do I have to?" She nods once. "Yesh. Now, march." The doc smiles and heads downstairs after telling me he hopes I feel better soon. I thank him and she guides me back into our room and lays me down. She puts the blankets over me, kisses my forehead, and lays beside me. She holds me close and I smile; happy with where I am. She hums a soft song to me and I start to drift off. It's only a matter of minutes before I'm asleep.

The doc says it's just the flu. That's good. I look over at Claude. He waves at me and I crack up a little. I look at Jake, who is still in the corner; Jinxx and Sammi, who are sitting on the couch; CC on the chair; and Cladue on the other one. I'm sitting against the wall. I think back on what Claude told me...
xXFlashbackXx
What if I told you I was in love with my best friend s girl? I ask him. He looks at me puzzled. "That's not good. How did it start?" I sigh. "We started as friends. Then, I got to know her. And I started to fall for her because she's just so awesome that I couldn't help it. She's smart, she's funny, she keeps me laughing, she just... She makes me happy." Claude isn't happy with my answer; I can tell. "Really, Purdy? Really? She's your best friend's girl and you're saying you're in love with her?" Huh? Love? I never said that. "I didn't say-" He cuts me off. "I know you didn't say love. But that's what's implied. If you really love both of them, you need to talk this out with them. Tell them how you feel and figure out what would be the best course of action. If they're in love like I think they are, she won't go anywhere. And if you're as good of friends as I'm almost positive you two are, neither one of you are going anywhere, either. You guys will have to work out what to do, because if you keep this a secret and it gets worse, there's no telling what could be the outcome. Anything could happen. None of it good, though. You could get depressed and suicidal because you know you can;t have her; you could get angry and turn against your best friend; you might even try to seduce her. You have to figure this out as soon as you can. Before it gets bad."

I look at the floor and wonder... "How can I ever talk to them about this?"
