Deadly Encounter

Alex's POV

After about an hour since we hear of my brothers death, my mom gets a phone call from the hospital. I couldn't hear the conversation but she could hear mumbling. She sounded kind of excited. "JAY ISN"T DEAD!" She shouted. "What?" Dad and I said. "How?" "I don't know, they just said he isn't dead he started to move again! But sadly we can't see him till next week. They are taking him to the C.E.D.A HQ. to run a few tests.
My dad didn't like C.E.D.A, he thinks they are just trying to save themselves. Ever since the flu came they haven't been doing much for the communities. They just sent out fliers and gave out water incase the flu was waterborne. My mom was way happy. She had hope now. She thinks the flu is going to be cured thanks to my brother. I'm not sure that he is cured but I guess I can be a little hopeful. "You can go outside for a bit if you want." Why is she letting me outside now? Oh well I didn't care I was sick of being locked up for about 2 weeks.
I decided to go see my friend Kayla. She was like my only friend, I didn't make friends very easily, but she moved next door when I was 7 and we've been friends ever since. When I got to her house her mom answered the door. She had this nasty cough and accidentally coughed on me. I'm sure she just had a cold so I didn't worry to much but I still went and washed my hands for like five minutes.

A few hours later I headed back home and I started to feel a little sick I got lightheaded and dizzy, I also felt like I was going to throw up. I stumbled to the door, I could barely see because of how dizzy I was. "Mom, I-I think I'm sick." Before she could say anything I ran towards the sink and threw up. "Oh no! Please don't be sick!" My mom started to cry. This is exactly what happened to Jay when he got sick. I couldn't see anything. I really didn't want to die. I was only 15! I had so much more to do. I don't want my parents to worry. Well now that Jay is probably going to be the cure for all of this I might make it. That gave me little hope. I still didn't want to be sick at all. Only if I just stayed home I would have been fine. Unless I got it a while ago and it just took time to infect me? No that seems silly. If I got it when it first all started I've be dead. It only take a few hours to get sick. I must have gotten it from Kayla's mom. "Call Kayla's mom." I was able to say "Tell her she's sick"
My dad took me to my room because the hospital is full. I might die in my room if we can't find a doctor to treat me. My mom called Kayla to tell her that her mom is sick and she might be too. I feel like I'm losing everything by getting a fatal illness. The quickest time it killed someone was 5 hours. That's how long it takes to defeat you. My dad left he looked like he was about to cry. I was freezing Blankets weren't enough to keep me warm. My parents came in to give me heat blankets and that wasn't working. I put on my grey hoodie and taped up my arms and legs to see if that would help. It helped a bit but not a lot. My dad turned up the heat to almost 90˚. I turned on my T.V. to see if any thing has happened. The news just said the there has been more deaths and C.E.D.A is evacuating non infected people out. It's only been 2 weeks and things are already this bad. I was getting really tired. My eye's felt heavy. I didn't want to go to sleep I was afraid I was going to die in my sleep. I wasn't ready to die, I'm going to keep fighting for my life. My parents would come in every now in then to see if I'm still alive. I was awake every time they came in. "Don't be afraid to sleep honey." My mom said. I didn't want to sleep. I could feel my temperature rising. If it got to 108 I'm screwed. My dad brought in cold rags and put them on my forehead. That cooled my down but I'm not sure if it was working on my body heat.

Matt's POV

I am so bored, and hungry. I'm thinking about calling Ryan but his parents are germ freaks. Ever since the flu started he hasn't been able to come over and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks. I wish I made some more friends then I would have someone to hang out with. Well I do know a girl named Kayla. I dated her in 9th grade. I think I still have her number. I go to my room and look through my contacts list. Yeah I still had her number. I hope she answers. I called her up. She answered. I was happy to hear some ones voice. "Hello?" "Ah, Hi? Do I know you?" "Remember I went out with you in 9th grade, I'm Matt Larsen." "Oh, I remember now. Yeah. Hey why are you calling." "Just wondering if you want to hang out with me. I am really bored and Ryan can't because his parents are super protective." "Hmm Maybe, I'm sure Alex can't hang out today so yeah I'll hang out with you." "Awesome. Whose Alex?" "Hehe. I'll tell you all about her. I'm sure you know her. Anyway see you soon." She hung up. At least I'm not going to die of boredom. That would be lame.
When Kayla finally go here she didn't know my parents were gone. I was hoping it wouldn't bother her. I'm not like most guys I respect girls. And all we are really doing is watching some really cheesy zombie movies. I love zombies I play the zombie games and I go on zombie walks. I really hope there's another one in my town. If not I'll create one myself. "Are you parents home?" "Sadly no, they work for C.E.D.A and they went to go work on this kid that came back to life after being dead. I though of zombies when I heard about that." "Oh." "Is it awkward for you. I used to date you, so it must be." "Uh, not really." We were quite for most of the time.
She had to go home to help her mother with stuff. I was alone yet again. I flipped on the news just out of curiosity and only to find out there has been more deaths. Nothing new. But it's kind of scary that over 6,000 people have died in 2 weeks. I didn't know that this flu was so fatal. The last flu only killed around 600 people. I started to get a nasty cough. I think it was normal for people to start coughing randomly because of a dry throat., but my throat didn't feel dry but it sure did hurt. I got some water but it didn't help. I got a little lightheaded and dizzy, I couldn't see very well. I tried to stay clam but it was scary. I think I'm dying. I try to call my parents but I couldn't see the phone let alone the buttons on the phone. I try to lay down, I feel like I'm going to throw up. I run to the bathroom but I was to late. I threw up all over the hallway. I felt gross. "I should take a shower again. I felt really cold, good thing is that I can see again. I try walking to the phone but I was off balance and feel down a few times. I feel like I'm drunk but I know I'm not I don't drink.. Anymore at least I stopped when I started Park-our. And that was two years ago. I finally get to the phone after countless efforts. Now for the hard part. I thought to myself. I was able to read the names on the phone and I called my dad's cell phone.

"Hello, Matt?" He answered. I was so happy. "Dad you have to come h-" I threw up again this time it was blood. "Matt! Are you okay!" " Hurry!" I had to put the phone down it hurt too much to talk. My throat burned "Matt? Are you still there? Talk to me! Matt!" I could hear my dad on the phone "Help" That was all I could say. I was able to hang up the phone. I crawled to the kitchen and grabbed a bucket and a few rags. There was blankets on the couch so I'm just going to rest there. I had a jacket on but I was still freezing, I wrapped myself up in the blankets but that wasn't enough. I decided to watch T.V. again. The news was broad casting on all of the channels now. I couldn't watch Sports or Mtv. I had nothing better to watch so I should just listen to what C.E.D.A has to say. Maybe it will tell me if I have the Green Flu or not. If I do I'm screwed, mom and dad will come home to a dead 16 year old on the cough covered in blood. Well that was a beautiful image to put in my head. I was scared believe it or not I don't want to die. I haven't even gotten my license yet, although I have no use for it I can just get through the city by jumping the roofs, you can get where your going fast and avoid traffic. It would have been nice to drive though. If I had a girlfriend I can take her places. C.E.D.A. Started to tell the symptoms of the flu "If you have the Green Flu and don't know it. Here are the symptoms. First, you get really lightheaded and dizzy. You can barely see. Second it's difficult to walk. Third your start to throw up, rarely you'll throw up blood large amounts of it if your really unlucky. Fourth your temperature changes like crazy first you freezing cold then your burning up. If you have any of these symptoms you may have the Green Flu. If so don't panic stay inside and away from other people and family members. If you condition worsens call the emergency office and you will be treated as soon as possible." Now I am really scared I have all of those symptoms. I don't know what to do I already tried calling the hospital but they were busy. I wish my parents where here I don't want to do this alone. I actually started to cry. I wonder if anyone else is going through the same thing as I am. Without anyone by their side. I don't want to die.
