Archie hated the flu season, he was always the one who fell victim to this time of year. This season was no different. When he fell ill his mother or one of his sisters would help him. Though this time he was all alone, at this moment moving out was the worst idea he ever had.

He laid in bed tossing and turning, not being able to shake off the body aces, nor was he able to even think straight. His head hurt, his stomach hurt, he felt dizzy and tired. But most of all he felt nauseous. He felt overall awful. After listing down his symptoms in his head he took notice of the buzzing sound next to him. His phone was ringing, he grabbed it and squinted trying to adjust to the bright light “Valentina” was the name shining on his screen he picked up. 

“Hello?” he said, his voice slightly cracking,

“Ari, babe. Where are you? Are you even on campus?” she said sounding kind of annoyed but having a hint of concern in her voice

“i’m not on campus i’m at home not feeling well.” talking made his head hurt even more which made him groan into the phone.

“Not feeling well, what's wrong?” she said now sounding worried and concerned “Flu.” he responded now sitting up noticing the saliva rushing to his mouth, Val opened her mouth to say something before Archie cut her off “O-Okay Val, I Really got–UUrp– I-I gotta go” he hung up the phone and basically threw it on the bed running to the bathroom in a panic.

Once there he wasted no time dropping on his knees in front of the toilet. A wet blech escaped from his mouth, despite being violently ill Archie was now very embarrassed, why did he pick up the phone in the first place? Why did all his nausea have to hit him all at once? These thoughts made his stomach twist, a wet burp sent a thick wave of pale vomit to fall out of Archie's mouth.

He groaned then gaged into the toilet he hadn't eaten much that day, he forced down some eggs and juice and a granola bar but that was it. He then gagged again, sending another wave of vomit out of him. He rested against the wall behind him and sighed. After a while of blankly staring into the bath he decided to close his eyes.

A loud banging at the door woke him up, he sat up straight still feeling the same as before, the loud banging continued and a familiar voice shouting his name. He stood up walking down the stairs. He walked to his front door. The muffled voice sounded familiar. He grabbed the door handle and twisted it open

“Archie are you okay!?” Val said basically running in then grabbing Archie’s face

“Val..!?” He said barely registering that his girlfriend was there in front of him. “Yea, Yea im okay..” He said obviously lying, Val took note of his messy hair, his flushed face and the eye bags under his eyes

“Yea not buying it c’mon” She grabbed his arm and pulled him up the stairs once there she got the strong scent of acid coming from the bathroom. “Jeez Archie..” was all she managed to mutter out, he looked down embarrassed. She led him to his bedroom and laid him down. As soon as she threw the covers over him she placed her palm on his head “God, Ari-hunny! Your burning up..” she said biting her lip Archie didn’t respond, instead he sat up placing an hand over his mouth

“Val- I-I think im gunna–hic–” he was cut off by his own sickly hiccup

“You’re going to be sick?” he nodded and by that point Val had already grabbed the trash can in his room and placed it on his lap, she leaned over and began to rub his back. He gagged into the trash can. His breathing was heavy and fast, “Ari, Breathe..it’s going to be okay..” she soothing rubbed circles on his back as he tried to respond between gags

“I-I’m sorry tha–UUrp– T-That you have to see this” Val cringed at the blech that came out of her boyfriend.

“No need to apologize..” Archie gagged again, sending pale liquid to fall out of his lips. Val didn’t move nor flinch; she continued on rubbing the boys back. After that, Archie continued to vomit into the trash can, It was like his stomach had enough. Once he was done he groaned, Val grabbed the almost full trashcan and set it aside she continued to rub his back until he laid back down.

“Are you feeling a little better?” Archie chuckled “ ‘Little better’ is an understatement ..” Val sighed and giggled “You're such a dumbass..” she smiled, and walked off. She returned with a cool rag and some water. Archie smiled wide. He was so lucky to have Val..
