Samsie- Sick Day

Sammy would always come to work even when he's sick. However, today was one of those days, he should've just stayed home and rest. Sammy looked pale as a ghost, his nose was stuffy and his eyes were red.

When Joey and Susie turned around they were in shock at Sammy’s condition. “Sammy! You look horrible!” Joey yelled.

Sammy sniffled and glared at his boss. “I know that.” He said getting into a coughing fit. Susie went behind him and rubbed his back. “Thanks.” He said sniffling a bit.

“Sammy, you need to go home you're sick.” Joey said. He had his mouth and nose covered so Sammy won't cough in him.

Sammy coughed again, and sniffled using a handkerchief to blow his nose. “Relax Joey. I'll be fine I just need to finish a verse and I'm. I’m.” Sammy stopped as he sneezed. He blew his nose more, and the blow made him feel a little dizzy.

“Sammy.” Joey said in a stern voice. He pointed at the door he came in. “Go home, now.” He said.

“Bu-but. But.” Sammy stuttered. He sighed with defeat, his first defeat with the one and only Joey Drew. Sammy walked out the door and headed for home.

Susie looked at her boyfriend, feeling worried about him walking home himself. “Excuse me, Joey.” Susie said looking at her boss. “Um is it alright to take the day off and take care of Sammy?” She asked, “I'm worried about him being alone and no one to take care of him.”

Joey looked at his actress, frowning at what she asked. While he needed her today, she was right. Sammy needed someone to watch him, and while his place is not to far from the studio he can pass out in the middle of the street. “Susie, are you sure you want to do this?” He asked.

Susie nodded in reply. “I know it's a risk I might get sick too, but Sammy needs me.” She said.

Joey smiled and nodded. “Okay, you're off today. Just be careful. Alright.” Joey said.

Susie smiled and hugged her boss. “I will.” She said. She went to her office and grabbed her bag and headed out the door. When she went to the exit, she saw Sammy sitting down as he was coughing up a storm. Susie frowned seeing her boyfriend in pain, so she sat down next him and rubbed his back.

Sammy turned around and saw Susie rubbing his back. “Susie?” He questioned seeing her presence here.

“Joey is letting me take the day off to take care of you.” Susie said.

Sammy gave a weak smile, and stood up slowly. “Thanks, but I can heal myself.” He got cut off by another coughing fit again.

Susie sighed and put her arm around Sammy, and the two walked over to Sammy’s place. When they got there, Sammy immediately collapsed on the couch groaning. Susie felt his head, and quickly removed it.

“Yep, you're really hot this time hot head.” Susie giggled making the joke that while Sammy is sick, he was always a hot head.

Sammy chuckled a little bit and then coughed again, this time the cough gave a disastrous result. “Ah man.” He said, with a now raspy voice. “My voice.”

Susie shushed him. “Ah. Ah. Ah no talking till your voice is better.” Susie said.

“Bu-”

Susie glared at Sammy who sighed in defeat yet again. She quickly smiled and went over to the cabinets to find a blanket for Sammy. When she found one, along with a pillow from his bedroom, she put the blanket on top of him along with the pillow behind his head.

Since Sammy couldn't speak, he looked around to find something to write or let Susie know he thanks her for her hard work. “You don't need to speak. I know you mean thank you.” She said. Sammy smiled and lied down.

A bit later, Sammy was asleep, and Susie decided to leave to run to the store and get some stuff to help Sammy feel better. She hoped to make it fast so Sammy won't wake up and try to find her, and making himself feel worse.

Just as she predicted she made it back to Sammy’s place and smiled seeing he was still asleep. She wine to his kitchen and took out a pot and a tea kettle. In the pot she made a homemade soup she learned from her mother when she was sick, and in the kettle made some of her Campbell family secret tea recipe that was known to cure any sickness.

As she cooked, the smell of the soup woke Sammy up. He stretched and saw Susie cooking in his kitchen. He smiled seeing her work so hard just to take care of him. When Susie turned around he quickly lied down to pretend he was still asleep, but Susie knew he was up.

After the tea kettle went off she looked for a cup and bowl to put the tea and soup in. Susie walked back to the couch and pulled the coffee table closer to place the soup and tea. She gave Sammy a nudge and he got up, smiling at the angel who was healing him.

“I knew you woke up early.” She said. Sammy smiled and got up, moving closer to Susie. Susie grabbed the bowl of soup and used part of Sammy’s blanket to put the soup on so it wouldn't spill on her or Sammy. She used a spoon and wanted to feed Sammy like a little kid, which he didn't like. “Okay, you can feed yourself, but be careful it's hot.” She said.

Sammy took the spoon, slightly blew it and took a sip. While it was hot, it tasted good. Sammy smiled and his girlfriend smiled back. “I knew you would love it!” Susie cheered. “My mother made it for me when I was sick.” Sammy smiled and took a few more slurps of the soup till she felt time to give him the tea. She took the bowl away from Sammy and handed him the cup. “This should get your voice back to normal.” She said.

Sammy stared at the tea and took a drink from it. Once he swallowed it he felt his throat open back up. “H-hey I can speak again.” He said. His voice wasn't fully back to normal, but he was able to speak and his cough was no longer bad.

“Just don't speak too much okay.” Susie said.

Sammy smiled and drank more of the tea. He went back and forth taking a few sips of soup and a drink of tea, and once he was done, he started to feel a little better. His nose wasn't as stuffy, his coughed calmed down and his voice started to go back to normal. “Susie, thank you.” Sammy whispered just in case his voice started to go again.

Susie smiled and hugged Sammy. “Anytime my love.” She said. At this moment Sammy and Susie could lean in for a kiss, but since Sammy was sick he hugged her back, and the two lied down on the couch, falling asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Sammy was finally back to his normal, healthy self and was ready to head to work. Well almost ready, as he was about to leave he heard a sneeze coming from the couch. He quickly went back and saw Susie sniffling and looking down. “Susie are you feeling okay?” Sammy asked.

“The worst part of taking care of you,” she said weakly before coughing, “is getting sick as well.” Susie coughed again as Sammy felt bad for getting his girlfriend sick. It technically wasn't his fault, and it was more of Susie's fault because she was near him.

Though Sammy smiled and put the blanket on Susie and let her lay down. “But what about the studio?” Susie asked.

“It could wait, right now, my job is taking care of you.” Sammy said. Susie smiled and hugged Sammy tight. “And sin you gave me your family recipes, I'll give you mine.” He said.

Susie smiled. “That sounds fair.” She said. “But before you make me anything, could you turn on the radio?” Susie asked. Sammy chuckled and went to his radio and put it on some slow dance music station. “Thank you.” She said.

Sammy smiled and went to the kitchen to take care of Susie.
