Chapter 2- A drifting mind

Spencer's pov

I knew she was right. Somewhere along the line I had worked out I wasn't well but was I really that bad? She was glaring at me with the same look mother used to have. I didn't know what I had done wrong if I was honest. I mean I only asked about her day at school and then she was staring me down like I was an evil murderer or something.

"I haven't checked my temperature yet"

"lie down"

"Wait what?"

"Go and lie down on the couch. Il bring some stuff and do some evaluating."

I had no idea what she meant but I did as she said-lay down horizontally across the sofa. She bolted to her room (making a lot of noise) and charged back down the stairs, carrying what look like a mini doctors kit.

"Carly what is that?"

"Only to be used in emergencies like this, Spence"

"But i'm not that bad. It's just a slight fever"

She ignored me completely as she sat down next to my legs and began poking a thermometer at my mouth. As she placed it in my mouth I felt my face heat up slightly (Wow, talk about role reverse) and looked up at Carly. She was staring rather intently at her watch. God she reminds me so much of mom. Only mom would ever stare down like that, or even get angry about me whenever I was sick. I never understood why actually. I might wanna ask Carly at some point. Wait... is she talking to me?

"...and you should have been in bed..."

She's looking at the blury thermometer now and saying more but I can't seem to hear then:

"Spencer, can you hear me?"

"Wait, what just happened?" I reply with my smart answer. Did I just pass out? I can kind of feel that zoning out sensation coming back again.

"Spence stay with me! Eyes on me Spencer, it's gonna be ok. I'm gonna call some help ok?"

But I don't answer cuz there are white spots clouding my vision. Everything blurs into a black and grey sea and the last thing I hear before I pass out completely is from Carly.

"SPENCER!NO!"
