Chapter Nine
Paige gets home from work and heads upstairs to her bedroom to changes out of her work uniform. She does not know that Alex was in her bedroom and is trying to sleep, because her dad did not say anything when he picks her up from work that night. She did not think to ask him if anything was wrong despite the fact her mom normal picks her up when she work Wednesday evening, because Dylan has hockey practice. Paige gets to her room and sees that her bedroom door is close. She thinks to herself, I know I left my door open this morning. Maybe Dylan shut it after he grabbed my work uniform out of the me bedroom. She open her bedroom door then flips on her bedroom light. She then walks into her room and throws her book bag on the bed and it lands right on top of Alex.

AlexSound congested) Ouch
Paige: Sorry Alex’s I did not know you were here and sleep in my bed. No one told me.
Alex: It, ok Paige (Coughs) I should have told your dad to tell you I was here.
Paige: And I should have known something was up when I see my bedroom door close when I left the door open this morning.
Alex: Can you turn the over (Ah-Choo) over head light off, and turn the desk light on?
Paige: Why, Baby?
Alex: The over head light is too bright and is bothering my eyes!
Paige: Ok sweetie

Paige walks over to her desk and flips the desk light on. She then goes and turns the overhead light off. Paige then starts grabbing her PJ and her towel up, she takes her shoes off. Paige starts to walk out of her bedroom, but stops and turn around and look at Alex.

Paige: Alex’s do you need anything before I go and take a shower?
Alex: No
Paige: Lexi are you sure because you did not eat anything all day, you have to be hunger?
Alex: I don’t have an (Ah-Choo) appetite.
Paige: How about something to drink Lexi?

Alex just shakes her head no and at the sometime grabs a tissue and starts coughing, greenish-yellowish mucus into the tissue as Paige head into the bathroom to take her shower. A half hour later Paige walks back into her bedroom and closes the door behind her. She then walks over to her bed and take a set next to Alex’s on the bed. She sees that Alex’s has her eyes closes and think she has went back to sleep. So she gets up and goes over to her desk to work on homework.

Alex: (Ah-Choo) honey where are you going come back over here?
Paige: (As she walks back over) I thought you were a sleep Lexi.
Alex: No, every time I try to go to sleep I start coughing.
Paige: And I thought you said you never get sick?
Alex: I usually don’t get sick, I must have caught a bug from (Ah-Choo) visit Emily at the hospital.
Paige: Maybe you should go see your family doctor Lexi?
Alex: No I’m sure I been bettered in a few days.
Paige: (Kiss Alex’s forehead) Lexi, you burning up, I’ll be back, I am going to go wet a washcloth down with cool water to wipe your face of with and then set the washcloth on top of your forehead.
Alex: Ok

Paige gets up and walks into the bathroom, she comes back a few minutes later and closes the door behind her. She walks over and set back down next to Alex on the bed and wipe her face off. Paige then folds the washcloth in half and set the washcloth on Alex’s forehead. Paige then goes to get up to do her homework but Alex grabs her arm.

Alex: Paige stays with me please and hold me.
Paige: Sure, Lexi I stay here and hold you.

Paige gets under the cover with Alex . Paige then wraps her arms around.

Paige: Alex are you cold because you are shivering?
