Chapter sixteen

“Ugh! If any more snot comes out of my nose, I’m going to cut it off,” I murmur into the Kleenex I’m holding up to my nose. It’s so sore and raw that I’m barely touching it.

“You need to go to the doctor,” Syd says. “You’ve felt miserable for the past week, and you’re still not better. We leave this weekend for Vegas. Go. To. The. Doctor.” She pokes me in the arm as she says each word.

I throw my head back into the cushion. I feel like shit. My chest hurts from coughing, my nose burns from constantly blowing it, and my voice is hoarse from my sore throat. The last thing I want to think about is my bachelorette party. In. Six. Days.

Just kill me now.

“Fine, I’ll go to the Minute Clinic.”

Sydney jumps up and puts on her shoes. “Great! Let’s go,” she says with a little too much excitement.

“I didn’t mean right now,” I whine.

“No, we’re going right now. You need meds. I’m going to make sure you get them. Now, let’s go.” She reaches for my hand and pulls me up. I blow out an exasperated sigh to show my annoyance but it makes me cough, which pisses me off even more.

Two hours later and an incessant need to take a shower and wash off the germs from the millions of other sick people at the clinic, I’m loaded up with meds with a diagnosis of bronchitis and a sinus infection.

Syd makes me some chicken noodle soup and sees to it that I take the meds then sends me to bed. I’m sure this is not how she imagined the beginning of her spring break. I’m supposed to be flying to Texas right now to drop off Lexi with Amy and Ted for the week since it’s her spring break, too. Max and Aiden go instead. The air pressure from the plane would have made my head explode, so I stay home.

When my head hits my cold pillow and my sick body relaxes into my soft bed, I pull my comforter around me and send up a silent plea that I start feeling better soon. My mind starts thinking about the wedding and Lexi. It’s hard to believe Lexi has been with me for almost a year already. Somedays it’s hard to remember what it was like before she came to live with me. Jaxon is still working her adoption case. Lexi’s social worker makes frequent visits, and I was elated when she told me she thinks Lexi belongs here with us. Now to prove it to the judge. We have perfected our schedule over the last few months. The months have flown by without any incidents, surprisingly. We constantly ask Lexi if kids are being assholes, but that seems to have stopped after Aiden went and had a meeting with the principal.

Seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child made me love it more. I’d never seen Aiden more excited than when he dressed up as Santa.
