Chapter 5: First Sight
~Carlos P.O.V~
Knock. Knock.
"Come in!" I yell as Camille steps in.
"You don't have to yell in my ear, I'm coming."
"Goodness, are you okay? There's no need to be mean." I reply.
"Sorry Carlos. I'm just stressed." Camille sighs and looks honestly sorry. Logan goes to her.
"It's okay. We're all on edge." he tells her as he wraps in a hug. His stomach growls, "But right now I'm starving. I'm gonna go eat. You coming James?"
"Yeah." James replies.
Then they leave.
"Hey Camille!" Kendall finally speaks.
"Hey," She answers as I sneak out to find Jo's room.
It took me five minutes to find Jo's room. I took a deep breath and step in.
"Carlos! Hi!" Jo tries to sit up more, but instantly falls back on the pillows.
I cringe.
"Hey Jo," I slowly approach her.
"I know. It looks awful." She says sadly.
"No. I promise I expected worse," I smack my forehead. "That came out wrong. I mea.." I stop. Is she... laughing?
"Carlos, it's okay. That's the best thing I've heard all day. I may be sick, but I'm still me."
I grin, relieved. Maybe it will all be okay. After all, this girl is a fighter.
