A month ago nobody didn’t expect the virus to grow into a full blown pandemic. When the fever spread through my body you were there to take care of me, my best friend. Whom I invited over the weekend to spend some quality time with, no sign of sickness when I picked you up earlier this weekend.
The first night was nearly unbearable but you insisted you stay with me, made it clear that if I already was sick when we met you surely were infected by now, and that we would get through this together. I went from violent fever chills to drenched in sweat in a matter of hours. You held a straw to my lips, ushering me to drink some water to get the painkillers down, your eyes worried when you checked my pulse. You held my hand to calm me down when the fever climbed and I begun to hallucinate. I tossed and turned violently in my sheets, panting trying to get some air down.
