Only three reviews? I'm shocked! Please review this chapter?… please… pretty please?
Sam hurried over to her best friend's side, "Jo its going to be ok, don't get upset, we can solve this." Sam rambled on and on before Sean silenced her with a nod of his head.
"Sam's right Jo, we can solve this I mean I bet we're really close," Sean said looking over at Zane for support or at least some positive news.
Zane POV
I looked up as Sean said 'we're really close' and saw him gazing at me looking for answers. I put on my best fake smile and agreed saying, "Yeah actually we are really close. This cure just isn't complete but its really close."
Jo looked over at me like she could see right through my lie. "Yeah right…" she replied looking incredulous now. "You're lying through your teeth. I can tell now tell me the truth." I started to replied thinking of giving her the shorten version before she cut me off, "the whole truth…" It's like she's reading my thoughts.
"Ok Jo now stay calm no matter what I tell you," I said as she nodded in agreement.
I continued steadily now, "Ok Jo this is a new mutated virus. It targets the lungs but works it way to the skin and continues to shut down all of the body's organs. The coughing obviously starts first and the fever not long after. Then the sores appear and then the organs go slowly," I pause taking a breath.
During the pause Jo comments, "Well the organs must not go that slowly since I only have four hours left," she replied smiling weakly.
Zane looked over at her concerned, "Jo you don't have to be strong about this. I just said you can't over react but you can cry," he whispered to her softly.
"Just continue about the virus," Jo said quietly not giving into tears yet.
"Well, the virus seems to be attacking your body quicker than we first suspected, that's why the number of hours was so far off. We're not sure why its going faster than the model suggested but by our count we definitely think you have four hours, but I'm sure we're going to find something to cure it." I said smiling down at her.
Jo POV
I gulped before looking over at Sam and Sean and silently begged them to give Zane and me a minute. I looked back up at Zane and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"What am I doing?" Zane asked confused. His usual smirk was gone and the only emotion on his face was confusion. I felt slightly bad but continued on unabashed.
"You are treating me like a friend and like you really do care which I highly doubt," Zane looked like he was going to correct me but I hurried on, "You didn't even seem to care about Zoe who was almost as sick as I was. You didn't even know where she was and she's your girlfriend and I'm not!" I ended up yelling towards the end. Zane looked at me sadly.
"Jo-Jo," he said softly as everyone looked at us.
"Don't Jo-Jo me," I replied harsher than I meant to. A few tears escaped down my cheeks but he quickly brushed them away.
"Fine! Then Jo, I don't know but every since Founder's Day everything has seemed different and it isn't just you and some of the others. I have these weird memories of you and me...and I don't even know but something is different. And about Zoe I don't know but we were ever only just friends, even if she hated it, she even admitted this to me."
"So are you still together then?" I asked hesitantly.
"Well yeah I guess but I'm not sure for how much longer... it's not really working out between us but I'm not sure how to break it to her."
"I really hope your not an hallucination..." I said quietly to myself remembering the hallucination Zane that said pretty much the exact same thing only yesterday. By the way where is that hallucination anyway. Everyone else got rid of theirs but I still haven't because I can't confess my true feelings and now I might never get the chance.
I just nodded casually before having a terrible coughing fit. Zane looked at me worriedly but I just waved him off.Should I tell him about the sores…it will just make him more worried but it might help him with the cure…ok I'll tell him.
"Zane, the sores appeared about fifteen minutes ago…Zane are you ok?" I asked when I noticed he stopped breathing.
"Zane you are seriously worrying me now," Jo asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," Zane said, "but you're not going to be. I need to get back to work."
"Zane," Jo said quietly.
He looked back down at Jo and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Jo, we will solve this. I promise you, we will solve this."
Jo smiled up at Zane and he suddenly realized who he really loved.
I would really like at least four reviews to update again...and I am sorry for not updating one time but it was my birthday this week. Oh and sorry its so short.
Please review because they are greatly appreciated.
