Chapter Five
After his father finished his cleanup, he let the small child rest. Miles apologized over and over as he tried to help him.
“No, no,” he said as he pushed Miles’ shaking hands away. “I can do it. Accidents happen. Just lie down and rest, okay?”
Miles didn’t say anything for the rest of the evening; even if he wanted to, he didn’t want to throw up again. His stomach growled in hunger and his head pounded. As any child would, he always hated to be sick. He especially hated it when he did it in front of his father - it was a sign of weakness and Miles shouldn’t have to be weak.
Today was a terrible day. He couldn’t fold the stupid paper crane right, Phoenix was acting weirder than usual, he got soaked in the rain, and he got sick! On top of that, he threw up right in his dinner. All in all, Miles wanted this bad day to be over. He was sure, though, that Phoenix didn’t even notice that he wasn’t there anymore. He was almost sure that-that stupid bully, Larry Butz, kept making fun of him behind his back - especially on how he cried in class that day.
He clenched his fists when he felt himself getting angry.
He let out a deep breath as he slowly and finally drifted off to sleep. His dreams didn’t help matters. All he could see was an exaggerated version of his classroom, pointing and laughing. Phoenix wore a pink tutu, for some reason, but no one seemed to notice but Miles. The substitute teacher seemed to have a witch-like costume on while the other students in his class just had bigger mouths and they laughed harder than what actually happened.
Miles also noticed in his dream how everything seemed to be bigger and how he seemed to be smaller. He felt dizzy all over again when he saw a bright light. The light hurt him and a woman’s hand came into view. He couldn’t see the woman’s face but there was something familiar about her. He reached out and then he realized he wasn’t sleeping anymore.
“What?” he said out loud, in his dream or in real life he wasn’t too sure, when he fell off his bed.
A loud thud echoed in his room and he just lied there. The pain in his head felt worse but he knew it would worsen if he got up and moved around. He felt the cool air from his fan and he slightly shivered. He felt so weak and so heavy.
He looked out the window and saw that it was a new day. The sun was brightly shining and he heard a few birds sing outside. Miles let out a cough and then a sneeze as he finally lifted himself off the floor; and he was right. His headache did worsen so he placed it against the cool mattress and shut his eyes.
Finally he heard another soft knock.
“Miles? Are you okay? Did you fall off the bed again?”
Miles’ eyes widened opened as he quickly tried to climb into bed, cover himself, and laid his head down.
“No,” he muttered, his voice extremely hoarse. “I didn’t.”
“Don’t lie to me, Miles.”
Miles characteristically pouted. “I did not!” He sat up only feel his headache. He grabbed his head in pain and laid back down.
He heard a laugh behind his door as his father opened it.
“Are you feeling hungry? Ready to try my soup again?” All little Miles could do is groan. “I’ll take that as a yes.” He brought out the small tray as he did the day before and placed it near the bed corner and sat down beside it. “You know, Phoenix came over after school yesterday. He was really worried about you.”
“So?” Miles didn’t understand that feeling in the pit of his stomach. He didn’t want to throw up again.
