Loving a Crank part 2

NEWT POV:

I took my jacket off and put it over the boy. I put his arms threw the sleeves and zippered it. It should help cover his cent. I picked up the boy and carried him to my house. Yes us cranks have our own house. We just don't pay bills. We just claim the house as ours and we then live there. I walked to the house and entered. I closed the door and carried the boy to my bedroom. I never really use it cause I can't sleep but I think humans can. I set the boy on the bed. It's pretty messy but still comfy. The boy looked at me still confused. I took the back pack off the boy and set it in the living room. I remember how the boy can't walk. I walked back to my room and took his right shoe off. The boy took his other shoe off and dropped it on the floor next to his other shoe. I grabbed the boy's right foot and rolled the sock up. There was a bruise. It must be from when I tripped him. Maybe he has something in his bag. I went to check. It was all batteries and useless stuff. I found something that looked like a huge phone (walky talky). I put it back. Forks and knifes, clothes, pills. Nothing useful. I walked back to the boy and saw he was sleeping. He was using the jacket as a small blanket. I grabbed the covers and put them over the boy. He should be fine here by himself. Besides I'm just leaving to go get food. I'm not sure what humans eat but I am sure they will eat anything. Except each other. That's just wrong.

THOMAS POV:

I heard something. I woke up and rubbed my eyes. THE WALKY TALKY. I bolted up and fell off the bed. I crawled around to find where the crank put my stupid bag. I found it in the living room. 

"Thomas" said Tersa's voice. 

I grabbed the walkie talky. 

"Thomas you there" Teresa asked. 

I turned it on so I can speak. 

"Teresa, I'm here" I said. 

Teresa signed in relief. 

"Thomas where are you" asked Teresa. 

I signed and felt a few tears. 

"I can't make it back" I said on the edge of tears. 

"What no, you have to come back. Where are you we can come get you" said Teresa. 

"No, I was bit by a crank. We both know what that means" I said. 

Teresa started crying on the other end. 

"I'm sorry Teresa" I said. 

"No, Thomas there has to be a cure or something we can do" said Teresa. 

"We tried for years. There is no cure. I'm sorry Teresa but I am turning into a crank" I said crying. 

We sat there silently for a few minutes. 

"Thomas" said Teresa. 

"Ya" I said. 

"If you find my mom can you tell her I miss her and I hope she is okay" asked Teresa. 

"I will" I said. 

"Also keep me updated please. I want to know when you're gone" said Teresa. 

"Okay, bye Teresa" I said. 

"Good bye Thomas" said Teresa. 

I turned the walky talky off and cried. I'm sure Teresa did the same. I wish I could go back and allow Teresa to come with me or asked Ava to give me a team to go with but would it have made a difference? Maybe we would of all been infected. I crawled back to bed and left the walky talky on the night stand. I had it on in case Teresa tried to call me later.
