Chapter one

The feeling of a cool hand on my shoulder causes me to stir as I realize it's just Sam,meaning we're at the hotel finally. I fell asleep in the car, jacket acting as a pillow against the window,I've not been feeling good,I've already thrown up once,that was a close one, we got pulled over in enough time thankfully,after rinsed my mouth,then went to sleep till we got here. "Easy kid,let's get you inside ok Jack"he asks me gently as I look at him blearily, "yeah,where are we"I ask quietly, "We're somewhere outside of Lincoln,Dean got a room,he took the bags inside already"he says gently as he helps me out of the back seat,then I let him guide me to the room. We're on the first floor,thankfully, all the way down at the end.

Once we get there,he guides me inside,and helps me sit down on the bed closest to the door. I hear Dean rummaging through a bag near the sink as I feel Sam gently place a hand against my cheek,checking for fever I guess,I'm not sure. "You definitely got a fever Jack, you OK for me to help you get changed"he asks gently, "yeah,is the fever bad"I murmur to tired to have the energy to do it myself, "I'm not sure yet kid,we'll have to get a temperature on you, if it's too high we'll deal with it ok,we got you alright,you'll be ok"he says gently as I feel him take off my puke stained t shirt off of me,placing it on the floor for the moment. "OK,ow"I murmur feeling some pain in my stomach,uncomfortable,but it passes soon enough. "Does your stomach hurt"he asks gently as I take in a breath, "a little"I murmur as I see Dean come into the room with a thermometer.

"OK kid,we'll keep any eye on that,let us know if it get's worse, we're going to get your temperature alright"he asks softly, "yeah"I murmur. I feel a cool rough hand card through my hair,then something is pressed against my temple,and it beeps a few minutes later,and Dean looks at the screen. "103,that's not good,we need to get it down,Tylenol should help,if it's not down in a few hours we'll deal with it ok kid"he murmurs softly looking at Sam,who hands him the Tylenol and a bottle of water. He hands me the pills and I somehow get them down,trying to drink a tiny bit of water,not too much or I'll get sick.

After I finish Dean leaves to the bathroom to get something,and Sam helps me get into a new t shirt,and some pajama pants. Then I get under the covers,laying on my side,and I find myself bringing my knees to my stomach,it's more comfortable that way. Then I see Dean come back in,and he sits on the bed behind me,and places something cool on my neck,a damp washcloth. Then I feel him rub my shoulder,then get up,pulling the covers over me. "Try to get some sleep ok kid, I'm going to go to the store to get some things,Sammy we'll be here with you alright"he says softly,"OK"I murmur realizing I'm fighting to stay awake. I close my eyes,and soon enough I'm out like a light,exhausted,feeling unwell,and a bit scared since this is my first experience being sick.
