Lisa added another tissue to the pile in the garbage can and sighed when she noticed the box was empty. Toilet paper was going to have to do until she could get out to the store. She leaned back on her bed, covering her eyes with her arm. It’d been almost three days since she’d first felt the cold coming on, and after a lot of sleep and cold medicine she was finally starting to feel like herself again. Even so, she was grateful that it was Friday and she had two more recovery days before she had to go back to class.

Had to go back. That was a weird thought process for her. She was usually excited to attend her classes, but in the last three days she hadn’t been able to even think about them, except to worry that she was falling behind. Stupid cold.

Her phone vibrated where it sat on her headboard and she reached up, patting around with her free hand until her fingers brushed the phone. She pulled it down and raised her arm just enough that she could peer out from under it at the glowing screen. She had a text message. Actually, she had several text messages, but until now looking at the phone screen had made her head pound so she hadn’t bothered answering them.

She scrolled through the names: her mother, Beth, more Beth, yet more Beth, a general message from her Trig TA, Jason… Her thumb hovered over Jason’s name. She hadn’t missed him while she was actively sick. She hadn’t missed anyone, but seeing his name struck a chord. His latest message was only from an hour ago. She opened it.

*Hey sickie. You didn’t answer when I knocked. I hope you’re sleeping the sleep of the well medicated. There should be something by your door.*

She read the message twice, hearing his voice in her head. It was funny how texting did that. Very slowly she got to her feet, amused when she found she could actually stand without the room spinning. That was new and welcome.

Lisa tucked her feet into a pair of fuzzy slippers her mom had purchased her for Christmas and made her way to the door. The light from the hallway was much brighter than the lamplight in the room, but there was indeed something by her door. It was a basket and it was…pink.

She blinked, clearing her eyes and looked again. Yes. Still a pink basket. Lisa laughed softly and picked it up, retreating to the semi dark of her room. She sat on the edge of her bed and started pulling items out: two boxes of lotion tissue, a half dozen packets of vitamin C powder, a lavender sleeping mask, a ‘bathroom traveler’ crossword book, and a whole bag of tiny marshmallows. Lisa laid back on her bed, breaking into laughter. It was the sweetest thing ever. She wondered if Beth had had a hand in it, or if Jason had come up with this whole thing himself.
