Chapter four

Sorry that it has taken so long for me to put the next chapter on here. The day that I got it done the site was down and now I am having computer problems. I will work on putting the last couple of chapter up pretty soon. I am open to any ideas about this story or even a future story.

The story is not mine; I am just borrowing them for a little while. _______________________________________________________________________

Jarod laid her body on the bed of the house that they were hiding in. Her body was shivering from fever, and her face covered in sweat. He sat down next to her bed and held her hand in his.

"You have to fight Parker." He whispered. He moved a piece of hair out of her face. "I cannot do this without you." He started to remove his hand from her when she whimpered. Her innocent cry tugged at his heart and he put his hand back on hers then laid his head on the bed.

*** "Jarod.. Jarod where are you?" a much younger Miss. Parker called out. She jumped as a hand touched her shoulder. Fear rose in her throat as she spun around. "Jarod! Don't ever scare me like that!" She cried out with her hand over her heart.

He laughed and they sat down on the ground. "Why were you calling me?" He asked seriously.

"We were playing and then suddenly you disappeared," She sad matter-of- factly. Her eyes met his and he was startled to see the pain in her eyes. "I thought you had left me like everyone else does."

He touched the side of her face. "I could never leave you." ***

Jarod was jerked awake by frantic movements. He opened his eyes and jumped up when he noticed that she was seizing.

"SYDNEY!" He cried out. He then quickly move to her side and moved everything away from her. "I promised you I would never leave you Parker, don't die on me."

He was checking her pupils when Sydney ran in. "What do I do?" The older man asked rushing to her side. Jarod just looked at him with sad eyes.

"Just hold her hand." He whispered. "Just hold her hand."
