Chapter 2
Author's Notes: This is the second chapter to my, so far, uninteresting story. I want to thank everyone who reviewed. I guess the rambling I did about reviewing paid off, eh? Also, thanks to all of the people who gave me suggestions. I have taken them all into consideration. I will stop rambling now.
Here's the next installment of 'Sickness'......

Logan called Bling, who promised to be there in a short amount of time. After he hung up the phone, he went to check on Max. He could here her coughing from his computer room and he was really worried about her.
He got in the room and could see Max was shivering under the sheets. He went to the closet and gathered 3 blankets to wrap her in. After he finished wrapping her she was bundled like a baby. A cute baby, he thought, but a baby just the same.
"Logan...?" Her voice was a mere whisper.
"What is it, Max? Do you need something?" Max smiled at how concerned he sounded.
"Do you have anything to drink? My throat is kinda dry."
"Yeah, I'll be right back. Do you want anything else?"
"No, I don't think I could keep anything down. When is Bling going to get here?" Bling chose that exact moment to walk in.
"I'm here, girl. I hear you haven't been feeling well." Max nodded. She was too tired to talk. "Well, let's see what you have, shall we?" Logan left the room to get Max's drink. He thought juice would be appropiate. So, that's what he got. He decided to wait untill Bling was done to bring it to her.

Logan had been waiting in his computer room, reading a rather boring file. He
wasn't all that focused on his work. He was more worried about Max. He wanted to
be there with her, but he didn't want to intrude. He'd probably get in Bling's
way anyway.
It was a while later when Bling came out to talk with Logan. When he came out, Logan hurriedly stood up and asked him,
"Do you know what she has? Will she be okay? Is it serious?"
"She has a very strong cold. It will go away, eventually. She just has to rest a lot. Don't be so worried. She's strong. You really don't have that much reason to worry." Logan let out a sigh of relief and Bling smiled. Logan went back to the kitchen to get Max's drink out of the refrigerator and walked in to see her. She was laying down on the bed, her eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping. Logan knew better than that.
"Max? I brought you some juice." Her eyes popped open and then closed again. The lights were way to bright. Logan seemed to notice this and turned the lights down. She opened them again and kept them open. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Her brow furrowed in confusion, she tried again. Nothing would come out.
"Max, what are you trying to say?" She shook her head and looked into Logan's eyes. He could see that she confused. She pointed to her throat and shook her head. Logan got the meaning. "I'll be right back." He left the room, only to return a few moments later with a pad of paper and pen. He handed them to her so she could write what she needed.
*Thank you* She wrote. *What did Bling say?*
"He said you have a bad cold and you need bed rest. Do you need anything?"
*No, thanks. Do you have work to do? I don't want you to be behind just because I got sick.* He smiled at the way she seemed to care for him.
"I'll be in the next room. Call...I mean..." He stopped, grabbing a small bell from his dresser,"ring if you need anything."She took the bell and nodded her thanks. He left the room, leaving her to her thoughts. ***************************************************
