Chapter 4

- Jerome

All the guys except for Rob had left to go mining. He was making some mushroom stew for Mitch.

"How are you feeling." I asked Mitch softly stroking his head.

"I've been better. How about you? You need to rest too." He asked placing his hand on my cheek playing with the fur. Typical Mitch even when he's dying he still cares about everyone else.

"Don't worry about me." I said taking his hand in mine.

"Jerome if I don't make it..."

"You will make it Mitch."

"If I don't make it then please move on."

"I won't need to move on 'cause you're gonna live." He nodded.

"Can you promise me one thing Jerome?"

"Ofcourse."

"If I turn, kill me."

"I...I can't do that."

"Please I don't want to risk hurting our friends or you. Promise me Jerome." Tears fell from my eyes.

"I promise." He smiled and pulled me in to peck my lips.

"Thank you." I looked up to see Rob with tears streaming down his face and a bowl of stew in his hands.

"Sorry." He said wiping them away and walking over to us.

"Here's the stew." He said handing me the stew. He sat next to me on the side of the armrest Mitch's head was laying on.

"Jerome's right Mitch. You're gonna live. We will make sure of that.

"Thank you Rob, I couldn't wish for better friends." He smiled, suddenly his face changed into a pained expression, his eyes turned red then back to his caramel colored eyes then back red and so on. He balled his fist and arches his back, aswell as clenching his teeth.

"Mitch!" I shook his shoulder.

"Stay with me!" He suddenly relaxed again and looked at me with his normal caramel eyes. He smiled weakely.

"Are you okay?" I asked him worried.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"No you're not Mitch." His eyes flickered red for a second.

"It's getting worse." I said stroking his head. Right then the guys walked back inside.

"And?" Rob asked.

"We fount some but not enough to make a notch apple yet." Rob got up and lead them to the kitchen, I heard him explain what had happend here. The guys came back into the livingroom this time Rob was all geared up but Preston wasn't.

"See you guys later!" Vikk yelled walking out the door.

"Hang in there Mitch. We'll get you better." Lachlan said before walking out with the rest. Mitch smiled then looked at me. His smile made me feel better instantly and smile back.

"Go to sleep Jerome." He said softly petting my head.

"I don't want to leave you alone."

"I won't be alone lava P is here." I still didn't wanna go.

"I promise I'll still be here when you wake up." He said smiling at me.

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"Preston?" I yelled and he came walking in.

"Can you watch Mitch while I sleep?"

"Ofcourse."

"Thanks." I leaned down and kissed Mitch.

"Sleeptight." Mitch said as we pulled away.

"Don't forget your promise." I say before walking to the guestbedroom.

"I won't."
