Patrol
I wake up coughing my lungs out. I sit up coughing harder and start to gasp for air. I sit there for half a minute and my dad barges in my room.
" Here here just lay down. "
He puts his arm around my back and lays me down. I continue and cough and he puts his hand on my forehead.
" You have a fever as well. I'll get your medicine. "
He gets up and leaves the room and my coughing dies down. He comes back with a bottle of medicine and water.
" Here take these. "
He helps me sit up and puts some pills in my hand, and I take put them in my mouth. He hands me the class and I drink it. He takes the class from me and lays me down.
" I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow if it gets worse okay. "
" Aren't you going on a long patrol tomorrow. " I say weakly.
" Yes I am. I'll be back after dinner, so I'll take you before I go. " He says and he pets my head. " Now rest okay. " He gives me a smile.
My dad stays by my side till I fall asleep. I wake up and hes gone. He's probably already left to go on the patrol. I sit up and I have a bad headache and rubs my head. I stand up and stagger a bit. I lean against my nightstand for a few minutes.
I finally head to the kitchen slowly and open the fridge. There's a note on a container that says. " Breakfast. " I chuckle a bit and grab it and open and take a sniff.
" Mmm. Chicken stew. "
My dad makes me stew with medicine in it all the time. I put it in the microwave and wait for it to warm up. I've always been sick, it's like having a cold 24/7. Sometimes I go for a bit without feeling sick and I go to school or something. The doctor said it should clear up when I shift.
I'm only 12 right now, so I only have to wait a few more years. Hopefully I can be as strong as my dad. He's done so much for me, training to be strong, taking care of me I love him so much. He does so much for me I don't like to bother him with things.
I hope I get to see him when he gets home. We haven't been able to spend that much time together. I stand there thinking on what we can do, probably watch a movie or play a game. I got lost in thought a bit and jumped when the microwave beeps.
I chuckle and grab it and walk to the living room and sit down on the chair. I turn on the TV and watch it while I eat. I finish and look at the time and it's only 9:24. I could maybe go to school. I was really sick last night but taking my medicine made me feel better. I stand up and stretch and walk to my room.
I get dresses in some black joggers and a plain blue shirt. It's only 9:30 now and school doesn't start till 10:00. I gram my bag and walk out of my room and head towards the front door. I put on my shoes and put a sweater on. I walk out of the house and slowly walk to school.
it only takes 15 minutes to walk to school but I walk slow. I get there in 25 minute and grab my phone out of my bag. I connect my headphones and put them in my ears. I head towards my locker and try not to bump into anyone. I reach my locker and grab my books and I guess the first bell sounded.
Everyone started heading to class and so do I. I slowly walk and am suddenly pushed down, my books slide across the floor. My headphones come out and I look up and see Jena, the alpha's daughter.
" You came to school I see. Come to infect us with your sickness. " Her and her friends laugh.
I try to ignore her and grab my book but they kick them away from me. I crawl fast for my books and grab them. I try to stand up and they push me down.
" You should be lucky that my father took pity on you. You should be careful, when Liam becomes alpha you might get kicked out. " She kneels down in front of me. " You should watch yourself. "
She stands up and I try to stand up but she kicks me really in the side. I let out a small scream and they walk away laughing. I lay there for a few minutes and finally get up. I slowly walk to class holding my side. I reach the class and walk in and everyone stares.
" Your late. Hurry and sit down. " The teacher says angrily.
I quickly go to my seat and sit down and listen to the lesson. The day goes by with a few beating and a lot of bullying like usual. I head home and open the fridge to grab another container of food and eat it. I sit and watch TV for a few hours and do my homework.
I look at the time and it's almost 10 o'clock. I stand up and stretch and clean up. I get ready for bed and look out the front window. It's so late and I wonder why my dads not home yet. I lock the door and head to my bedroom.
I sit on my bed and stare at my clock. He should be home, he's never been gone till this late. Maybe he stayed out since it was late, maybe he went out for drinks or something. I hope he's home when I wake up. I miss him. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
