MY 'Friend' Falls Sick!
My 'friend' was supposed to come by my house to pick up some c.ds and copy them for my work. He however changed his mind saying that it would take a long time and he wasn't feeling well. He'd developed some sort of cold. So I asked him to come to the house even though he was half way towards boston. I'd bought him food and something to drink thinking he'd be hungry when he stopped by.

He came back and he looked horrible. I felt guilty for having been stern with him on the phone when he said he wouldn't be able to copy the c.ds. He sat down and I felt his temperature. He had a fever and so I got a wet wash cloth and put it over his head. I had to do this several times because the wash cloth kept on getting warm from the high fever.

He rested his head on my shoulder and I stroked his hair. I wanted him to feel that he wasn't alone. He'd taken care of me when I was sick and alone on Thanksgiving day by bringing me a plate of food. To many that isn't much but to me it meant a lot.
I rubbed his feet and kissed him on the cheek and I could sense he was so comfortable because he was beginning to dose off.

He reluctantly got up because he had to move his car for my roomate to park and he decided to drive home. I called him a couple of minutes later to see whether he got home alright and he said he did. He thanked me for taking care of him and I said "I'd do anything for my sick boy".
