Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 21 Taking Care

No matter how insane he think this was but he had to retrieve the keys beneath the pot so that he could let them in and treat her because by every pa.s.sing moment her temperature was rising which was not a good sign. He puts her down and Hayley felt her feet touch the ground again her body didn't have any strength so she supported herself by nearby wall, the wall was cool and that feel good against her skin which was burning and she crouched beside the wall and leaned her head against wall, she felt like she had to put all strength in her body to take a single breath, breathing was hard job for her.

Aaron took out that key and unlock the door when he turned to look for Hayley he saw her sitting in crouching position and her head leaned against the wall and eyes closed. He could see that she was getting weaker by each pa.s.sing minute. He held her hand and picked her up he manages to bring her in her room somehow by half pulling and half dragging her. He made her lay on the bed and then he went to his own room he know he had thermometer in his room. After taking her temperature which was around 102 degree Celsius, he asked her if she had eaten anything in the party he couldn't give her medicine in empty stomach. She just shook her head and convey the message that she didn't eat anything during the party. Aaron could see that she was losing conscious by each pa.s.sing minute. He just stood up and went towards the kitchen to look for something that he can make her eat so she could take her medicine and then he saw an ready-made soup packet and he boiled some water and add the mixture in water and then bring it for her, right now Hayley was lying in her bed motionless. He propped her up by supporting her shoulder then he supported her head to try to make her drink the soup and she took two to three gulps and then she refused to drink more,Aaron sighed and then he took out some medicines from the box and made her sallow them and then he put her down again and covered her with blanket. He needs to bring her temperature down so he went to her bathroom and wet a towel and then brought it to her and put it on her forehead.

Night was slowly progressing, Aaron kept changing the wet towel on Hayley's forehead and first she was uncomfortable and keep turning and tossing in bed like she was having a nightmare and then Aaron started to pat her on her head which somehow calmed her down and now she was sleeping soundly and Aaron was still patting her head he didn't know why it was also soothing to his heart. She was sleeping now and her temperature had came down and Aaron could feel his own eyelids also getting heavy and he had an urge to close his eyes but there was another urge which was way too strong than his urge to sleep and that was he wanted to kiss Hayley. He was still patting her and then his hand slowly creased her cheek and then like a man in a trance he got up from his chair and moved towards Hayley , he was just going to put a peck on her forehead that was all. His mouth now way close to her forehead little bit more , he closed his eyes but the moment he close his eyes, desperate to kiss her, when another face from another life swam in front of his eyes and he froze he stopped leaning towards Hayley forehead.
