Me: One crazy chapter coming up.
Mark stood there in the hallway as he watched the doctors struggle to save Roger. He's about to lose his best friend, and now the one guy he loved was also slipping away. He turned back to the window and sighed.
Mark: Without You
The Ground Thaws
The
Rain Falls
The Grass Grows
Without You
The Seeds Root
The Flowers Bloom
The Children Play
The Stars Gleam
The poets dream
The Eagles Fly
Without You
The
Earth Turns
The Sun Burns
But I Die
Without You
Jason walked into his dad's room to see him lying there with tubes in his nose and a ventilator.
Jason: Without You
The Breeze Warms
The
Girls Smiles
The Cloud Moves
Without You
The Tides
Change
The Boys Run
The Oceans Crash
The Crowd Roars
The Days Soar
The Babies Cry
Without You
The Moon
Glows
The River Flows
But I Die
Without You
Mark: The World Revives
Jason: Colors Renew
BOTH
But I Know
Only Blue
Lonely Blue
Within Me, Blue
Without You
Jason: Without You
The
Hand Gropes
The Ear Hears
The Pulse Beats
Mark:
Without You
The Eyes Gaze
The Legs Walk
The Lungs Breathe
BOTH
The Mind Churns
The Heart Yearns
The Tears
Dry
Without You
Life Goes On
But I'm Gone
Mark:
Cause I Die
Without You
Jason: Without You
Mark: Without You
BOTH
Without You
Awhile later, Ria came out of the ER and over to Mark.
"Ria what happened?"
"Well after we left, Dad wanted to hang out in Santa Fe so we hopped a bus. About a week later we came back and I told him to go back to the loft because he was starting to get sicker but he was so stubborn he wouldn't go. We stayed in the tent city and I was about to go to the loft and find you but he got so bad he shook all night."
Mark didn't say anything and burst into tears again.
"The only thing I wanted to know is why you said what you said?" Ria asked puzzled
"Ria it wasn't what it sounded like. What I was trying to say was I WAS afraid of Ryan getting infected but that was only because…oh God I can't do this."
"Come Uncle Mark just say it."
"The reason why I acted like that was because there's a good chance I may be infected. I couldn't tell your dad because he would never forgive himself and he would hide up in the loft again like that one year," he said sobbing.
Just then the doctor came in and asked to speak to Ria. When she came back out she walked back over to Mark.
"They got him conscious and stable so we can go see him."
Mark composed himself and got ready to walk in.
"I should tell you, I should tell you"
Angel: What now?
Me: Wait and see
Ducky: Who's gonna die?
Me: I have an idea, the next few chapters are gonna be a major plot twist. I saw something on tv that could work for my story.
Nadie: What?
Atrus: Just read and see! (turns to mimi) I LOVE YOU!
Mimi: GO AWAY!
Ducky: R&R!
Me: Uhh…(looks in fridge) I have soda!
