Never Grow Up
A Cold from Hell
Tour was nearly over and I had to get a damn cold. It hit me harder than a ton of bricks. Matt had to cancel the radio interview and the meet and greet for today's show so I could rest up my voice. I sounded terrible and it scared Kylee a bit.
"Daddy, can we play tea party," Kylee asked.
I shook my head as I coughed and sneezed. I hated being sick on the road and especially in fron of Kylee. But there was nothing I could do.
"Matty make him better," Kylee demanded of my tour manager.
"Kylee," I called to her with my torn up voice.
"Yes Daddy," she asked.
"Let me get some rest. Have Jack play tea party with you," I told her before coughing some more.
"Maybe she and I can play doctor with you to help you feel better," Jasmin made her presence known.
"I don't want to get either of you sick," I protested.
"I'll have none of that, Alex," Jasmin shot down my protest.
"Kylee go wash your hands before we play," Kylee nodded and ran off to the bathroom to wash up.
"I'll take care of you Alex and Kylee will help. Don't worry about getting me sick," Jasmin pushed my messy bed hair out of my face, "Damn you have a fever. I'll make some tea and soup."
"Nurse Kylee Gaskarth reporting for duty," Kylee shouted as she came back into the front lounge.
"Shh, Kylee I have a headache from my cold," I told her.
"Sorry Daddy," she replied.
"Kylee, why don't you get your daddy some medicine from the bathroom," Jasmin said as she looked up from the pot of soup she was heating up.
"Okay," she replied happily and left.
"Thank you, Jasmin," I whispered for the sake of my voice.
"Don't mention it. You're a good friend and you need the help with Kylee," she replied.
I felt a little hurt when she said I was a good friend. To be honest, I liked her a lot. She was sweet and she was fun. She reminded me of a female version of Jack with hints of my personality. She was almost like Kylee's mom, but not quite.
"I got the medicine, Doctor Jasmin," Kylee announced as she came back.
"Help your daddy take it," she replied. I took the box of dayquil she grabbed and I took the dosage I needed.
"Now go put it away," I told her.
"Here's your soup and tea," Jasmin said as I sat up to eat, "Careful, they're both hot."
I ate my soup and sipped my tea carefully. Jasmin had Kylee wash her hands again before she made her a grilled cheese. I liked seeing Jasmin with Kylee, it was like Kylee found a mother figure to cling to along with me. I knew I liked Jasmin a lot more in that moment, and I had to act quickly before I lost my chance to win her over.

Notes
Alex has a crush!Check out my other story, You've Got My Heart in Your Hands.
I just read what you have of this, and absolutely love it. I'm not sure if that last chapter you posted was kind of meant as a final chapter; I guess it could work in a way. But the story is awesome and I really liked what you have of it.
It's been a minute since you've updated, so it's probably asking a lot to update again, but if you weren't finished with this and one day want to update again, I will be here to read. :) Although as it is it could be seen as conclusive.
Idk, but I just wanted to leave this comment letting you know I enjoyed what you did have of this and think you're a great writer. The story is very sweet. :)
