Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 34: The Truth

Buster approached Rosita. "You guys didn't tell her?" asked Buster but the mother of 25 made a swiping gesture. "Tell me what??" said Porsha in worry. "Chris, what is he talking about?!" exclaimed Porsha. Chris then held her hands. "Porsha...you know I would never do anything to hurt and scare you, right?" asked Chris. "Yes. What's going on?" asked Porsha. He noticed her tone was getting a little angry at this point. "Okay. So the guy who attacked you, Gus DiMarco." said Chris. "Yes. What about him?" asked Porsha. "He had a faulty pacemaker." said Chris. Porsha's eyes widened. "It wasn't functioning properly and... the doctors" "He's dead! Isn't he?!" exclaimed Porsha. Everyone was shaken by Porsha's behavior. Little did they know Luna was hiding in the hallway in tears and she too is afraid from her mother's outburst. "Porsha, calm down!" said Chris. "When were you all gonna tell me?!" exclaimed Porsha as she sheds tears. "Porsha, please! You were just defending yourself." said Meena as she shed tears. "No! You all lied to me!! I'm...I'm crazy. I'm a killer!" said Porsha as she was hyperventilating. Everyone was in shock. "No, Porsha! Your NOTHING like that!" said Chris. "Stay away from me!" said Porsha. She was leaning on the garage door, she then felt her head spinning, her stomach growling and sweat dripping. "Porsha?" asked Chris. She gulped an air bubble as she suddenly vomited the content of her stomach on the floor. "Porsha!" said Chris as he held her. "No! Stay away!" said Porsha. Vomit dripped from her mouth as she went limp. "Porsha?" asked Chris. Her breathing was coming out short, hitched gasps like she couldn't get oxygen through her lungs. "Porsha? Porsha?!" said Chris in worry as he carefully placed her head on the ground. Everyone crowds around her, horrified. Rosita held her forehead. "She's burning up!" said Rosita. "Get Sue! Now!" said Chris as Ash ran to the call button. "Sue! Get down here! Porsha collapsed, she's running a fever!" said Ash. "On my way! Get Porsha to her room!" said Sue. Chris carried Porsha to the room and placed her in bed. Luna watched from the hall as she was shedding tears. Sue got a wet cloth and placed it on Porsha's forehead. Her face and ears were red as she struggled to breath, feeling pain as she did. "She needs ice to cool her down and antibiotics!" said Sue. "I got some ice in my truck. I'll get them!" said Alfonso as he rushed to the back. "I can get the antibiotics. Just tell me where to get it." said Chris. "Uh...ok." said Sue as she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something down and gave it to the wolf. "There's a pharmacy just down the road. There are particular meds there. Can you hurry?" asked Sue. "You bet I can." said Chris as he grabbed his jacket. "C-Chris?" said Porsha. As Chris froze and turned to her. "Porsha?" said Chris. She reached her hand for him as Chris held it. She couldn't find the strength to open her eyes. "Don't leave me." said Porsha. "I have to, sweetie. You need those biotics to feel better." said Chris. "Promise to come back. Promise?" asked Porsha as she gives him the sad eyes. Chris smiled and chuckled. "Promise." he replied. Suddenly, Porsha's vision was blurry. "Oooh. Chris, you have pretty eyes. Pretty face." she said as she giggled. Everyone was confused and surprised by Porsha's behavior. "Uh...okay then. I'll be getting the stuff. I'll be back." said Chris as he left. "What was that all about?" asked Ash in confusion. "I think she's in her own world." said Gunter. "No, she's just delirious." said Sue. "Delirious?" asked Nooshy in confusion. "It's a thing where you say things in an awkward tone. Like what just Porsha said for example." said Sue not wanting to say what she said to Chris. "The two really love each other. I don't blame them." said Johnny as everyone leaves the room, giving Porsha privacy. Luna sneaked in the room and sits with her mother. "Mommy? Are you okay?" asked Luna. "I'm fine, sweetie." said Porsha as she smiled.
