Chapter 15 - Laura

"Mom?"

I jerked awake as Michael shook my shoulder. I blinked around the darkness until my eyes landed on him. He stood next to my bed, looking paler than normal. His pajamas clung to him, and I could tell he'd been sweating.

"Michael? What's wrong?" I said, rubbing my eyes and trying to sit up.

"I don't feel good," he said, looking out of breath.

I frowned, feeling my stomach dip. I reached a hand up, finding his forehead hot.

"You have a fever again."

He nodded. "And my body hurts."

I threw the covers back, swinging my legs over the edge of my bed. "Let's get you some medication to lower your fever," I said, placing my hand on his head as I turned towards my door.

I walked out and into the kitchen, grabbing the medication. I walked back with a glass of water having him take the pills. I then let him crawl into the bed. I crawled in next to him and felt him turn around, curling himself against me. "I'm sorry, sweetie," I said softly, whispering it to him as I ran my hands through his hair.

"It's not your fault," he said.

No. But it was my fault; it was just us. It was my fault he had a parent who had no idea what they were doing. It was my fault he didn't have a father who could maybe understand, someone who knew what was going on, someone who could relate, someone who knew what he was going through.

I kissed the top of his head, hoping his fever would break so he could finally get some sleep. About thirty minutes later, I felt him relax and fall back asleep.

His breath was labored, so I knew his fever still hadn't come down. I crawled out of bed and checked the time. It was a little past three in the morning.

I walked back into the kitchen, grabbed a cold rag, and placed it over his forehead. I looked at my phone, tempted to call anyone who would relate.

But it was late, and everyone would be asleep.

I chewed on my cheek. What if this was more serious? I grabbed my phone, chewing on my cheek as I flipped through my contacts.

My finger hovered over Ashley's name. I didn't want to call since it was so early, but I had no one else. I certainly couldn't call Miles after the blowout we had.

I clicked her name and stepped out into the hallway. I tightened my robe as the phone rang a few times. I closed my eyes, knowing she was probably asleep. She likely wasn't going to answer.

But suddenly, she answered. "Hello? Laura, what's wrong?" Her voice sounded groggy yet panicked, and I knew I had woken her.

I pinched my forehead and sighed. "I'm a shitty mom."

"What? Hold on, let me get out of bed." I could hear her moving and a door open and shut. "What's going on?"

"Michael is running a temperature again and says his body hurts."

"Oh, well, he's going to be okay.
