Kori's POV

"WAHHHHH WAHHHHHH WAHHHHH!!!!!!!" The crying woke me up out of my sleep. It went on for a while, my parents didn't get him so I did.

I was so tired but got out of bed and went into his room and turned of the light.

"Hi papa, what's wrong," I said walking over to him as he held onto his crib.

He was crying hard, coughing and his nose was runny as ever. I picked him up and sat on the nursery chair with him on my lap.

"Jeez you're burning up," I said as I felt his forehead. And he looks so red and sickly. I wiped his nose off.

He did have a little cough the day before but it wasn't this serious. But he had no fever or anything and was playful and all that.

I took him out of his onesie so he wouldn't overheat. He was still crying.

I took the medicine kit and took out the thermometer. Took the temperature from his ear. 103°. You gotta be kidding me.

"MOMMMMM, DADDDDDDD!!!!" I yelled over and over again so they could really wake up.

They came rushing in.

"Fever of 103, I don't even understand he was just fine yesterday." I said hysterically.

"Baby call the doctor. Kori can you check his diaper and get him some milk. Ima get a nice bath ready, help him before we have to bring him to the doctors."

I did as told, but he just kept crying. And then I was crying because he was crying.

"Jamely stop crying you're scaring me," I was still bouncing him on my hip while he drank his milk and crying. Honestly this could just be the common cold but even that could be bad.

I turned the a/c up hoping that would help.

"Kori!" My dad yelled and I almost tripped running to our bathroom.

I stood outside still crying and my foot tapping anxiously.

"Okay honey we have to drive over to the hospital now. Quick." My mom said with a tired and stressed look on her face. "Kori go back to bed.

"Mom why can't I go?" I asked confused.

"Kori you need to sleep, we don't know what's going on. We don't wanna drag you and have you waiting in the hospital. Just relax," she said in a calm voice.

Just relax? Just relax?!?!?!!

"Relax?!?! I woke up to my brother crying and wailing. I find out he has a high ass fever and all of a sudden there's talk of going to the hospital. My brother looks like he's really going through it. Of course I'm going to be hysterical?!?!" I can't fathom the thought of my brother being seriously ill or anything.

"Kori, Kori," my mom said putting her hands on my shoulder. "I know you love your little brother Jamely. I know you're concerned. But this is extremely stressful for you. You need to lay back in your bed and relax. Watch a show, something. We will call every hour and update you."

I took a deep breath.

"I'm just so scared for him. He's just crying nonstop," I said hugging her.

"I know baby and that's okay. But Jamely is gonna be okay, so take a breath."
