"I--I love..." he whimpered, coughing.

She shushed him and ran a hand through his hair, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." she watched him slowly pass out, realizing that this was all way worse than she realized.

The rest of the night was rough -- David was in an out of consciousness, going from barely breathing, to tossing and turning and whimpering, calling out for Erin.

Erin attempted to feed him the tea at multiple stages at night, but it wasn't helping. He was getting worse.
Eli stopped by at some point, slipping a note under the front door saying he was sorry he couldn't e there to help.

It wasn't until nearly 5 in the morning when David's fever finally broke and he was able to fall asleep relatively peacefully.

Erin finally passed out on the floor, too tired to sleep in Eli's bed and too worried to leave him.

A few hours later, David blearily opened his eyes, still weak, but feeling thirsty. "Erin..?" His voice was hoarse and quiet.

Erin immediately perked up, sitting up and looking at him at the edge of the bed. "Davey? How you feeling?"

He gave her a weak smile, holding his hand out for her. "Thirsty..."

She nodded. "Okay...." she blinked awake for a second, standing up and rubbing her own head as she went to go fill up his water glass. She sat back down at the edge of her bed, putting the straw to his lips.

He drank desperately, completely parched.

She allowed him to finish the water and then immediately refilled it, placing it back into his mouth. "I'm so relieved to see you drinking."

David took hold of her hand. "I think I'm gonna be okay..."

Zippy shushed him. "Please just rest. I'm going to make you soup. Let me know when you have to use the washroom."
