I'll Be Fine (Transcript)

The next morning, Zoe woke up feeling groggy and sick. Her stomach is hurting but she has a low fever. Hayden woke up to see his younger cousin suffer in pain in her stomach.

Hayden: Zoe, you alright?

Zoe: No, my stomach hurts.

Hayden: I guess you can't come to school today.

Zoe: No, I have to.

Hayden: Are you sure? You're supposed to keep your health first.

Zoe: Nope, studies first.

Zoe and Hayden changed into their school uniform and went downstairs to see Mrs. Besson preparing breakfast for the kids.

Mrs. Besson: Good morning.

Zoe: G'day mum.

Hayden: Hey auntie.

Mrs. Besson: Zoe, are you alright? You seemed to be a bit pale.

Zoe: I'm fine mum.

Mrs. Besson: Okay, do you want to eat breakfast?

Zoe: Can I skip? I'm not that hungry.

Mrs. Besson: Well, of that's okay with you.

Hayden: Zoe, are you really feeling alright.

Zoe: I'm fine Hayden, can't you just drop it.

Hayden: Sorry about it.

After breakfast, Hayden and Zoe went out of the house and on the way to school. Zoe's stomach has been hurting on the way and she looks unwell.

Hayden: Zoe, are you sure you're feeling okay?

Zoe: I'm fine, Hayden. Why don't you just drop the subject already?

Hayden: Because you're my cousin and blood relative. I need to care for you while Josh is still in the hospital. What about this, we go home early after lunch because of how unwell you are. Unless you are sent to the nurse's office or something.

Zoe: I dunno.

Hayden: Oh well, we'll see.

They both finally arrived at the school building as Zoe swayed all the way to her classroom sitting right next to Kan. She put her arms on her desk and put her head on them which worried Kandace.

Kandace: Zoe, are you alright?

Zoe: I'm fine.

Kandace: I don't think you're fine. Are you feeling depressed or something?

Zoe: Of course I'm depressed! My brother is still in the hospital. And sick.

Kandace: Sick?

Naomi: Kandace, what's wrong?

Kandace: Something's not right with Zoe, she's depressed because Josh is still in the hospital and sick.

Naomi: Zoe, can you tell me what hurts?

Zoe: My stomach.

Naomi: I think she just has stomach bug.

Kandace: Here, try to eat some crackers and keep it down. And did you bring your water bottle?

Zoe: Yup.

Kandace: Okay. Try to eat a few crackers and then drink a few sips of water.

Zoe ate some crackers Kandace gace her and drank a few sips of water. She is able to keep it down without puking it out.

Kandace: Very good.

Zoe: Kandace, I still feel sick.

Kandace: Well, guess you and Hayden won't be able to join us in the programming club today.

Zoe: Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Later, it is lunch time and Zoe nearly collapsed when she was entering the cafeteria. But luckily, Hayden caught her,

Hayden: Woah, you okay?

Zoe: Hayden, I don't think I could last until after lunch.

Hayden: Don't say that. You know what, I think we should walk home right now. I don't think you could last long enough in school. Let's go grab our things first.

Zoe felt the burning sensation behind her eyes and used her powers to grab hers and Hayden's things. She then managed to go up to her feet.

Zoe: Don't worry, I got it.

Hayden: How can you do that? Drop that question, we have to go home now. You know, sick leave.

Zoe: Okay.

Hayden and Zoe got their sick leave slips and walked home. Once they arrived, Mrs. Besson wasn't home so they got changed and went to Josh and Zoe's room. Zoe laid in her not feeling good. So Hayden grabbed a thermometer which is on Josh's bedside table and put it in his cousin's mouth. He took it out and her fever must;ve risen.

Hayden: 39 degrees. Well, not as high as Josh.

Zoe: I know.

Hayden: Hey, I know you miss Josh but I won't replace him as an older brother to you.

Zoe: What made you think that? I mean yeah, I thought you would replace him or something.

Hayden: Josh is irreplaceable, even though he's sick right now I'll be there for you. And once he's better, we'll both we good older brothers to you. I promise.

Zoe: Really?

Hayden: Yes.

Song: Love Someone New from Over the Moon

Hayden: #I know you're feeling sadness #I see it in your eyes #The pain is overwhelming #When a loved one dies #But it's time for you to let go #And set your heartache free #For there's life that's waiting there for you #If you can let love through #If you can give love, you will find your family #Though it may not be like it was before #And if you give love, you'll never lose love #It only grows #More and more #No need to build a rocket #For you can now be strong #The things that you've been searching for #Have been here all along #And though it hurts to miss her #Her spirit's always near #So trust that she will always be with you #And love someone new#

Zoe: #The gift is not the answer #And you are not alone #For love is all around you #A love you've always known #And though it hurts to miss him #His spirit's always near #The heart grows #And it knows #You can love #You're wonderful#

Mrs. Besson soon came home from work and saw Hayden and Zoe home really early.

Mrs. Besson: Hayden, Zoe, why did you come home from school early?

Hayden: Zoe's sick and she's getting worse. Her stomach has been aching.

Mrs. Besson: Oh dear. I need to heat up some leftover chicken soup from Josh. I'll be back, just need to put down my stuff.

Zoe's mum put down her stuff and heated up some leftover soup for Zoe. Once she's done, she gave some soup to Zoe.

Mrs. Besson: Zoe, make sure you could eat at least half of it. I know your stomach isn't doing good but you need some nutrients in your system so that you won't be dehydrated.

Zoe: Okay. But I don't think I have much of an appetite.

Mrs. Besson: Just eat at least half of it.

Zoe: Alright.

Zoe ate at least half of the soup until she's done. She gave the bowl to her mum and laid back on her bed.

Mrs. Besson: See? It wasn't that hard.

Zoe: I think I'm gonna be sick.

Mrs. Besson: Hayden, get a sick bucket in case Zoe gets sick. It's in the kitchen.

Hayden ran to the kitchen to grab the sick bucket and brought it to Josh and Zoe's room. Just in time to see Zoe puke out the half-digested soup and crackers from this morning. This shows that her condition is getting worse.

Mrs. Besson: Honey, let it out. I think we have to take you to the hospital.

Hayden: Really? I can't bear Zoe and Josh being in the hospital anymore.

Mrs. Besson: They'll have each other, Hayden. We'll take Zoe to the hospital and she might be in the same room as Josh because I heard that he's in recovery right now.

Hayden: Really?

Mrs. Besson: Yup. For now, let Zoe rest. Tomorrow she might be admitted.

Hayden: Okay.
