Short chapter today sorry xx

Elaine

Newt and I are sitting with Alby when Thomas and the girl burst in.

"Newt!" Says Thomas he is holding three syringes of blue liquid he hands them to Newt talking a mile a minute. "Teresa found these in her pocket when she woke up I think it's a cure we could save Alby!" Newt hands one of the syringes to me to inspect it's nothing special but again with the same letters W.C.K.D on the top.

"We don't even no what this stuff is tommy. We don't know who sent it, or why is came up here with you" he points at the girl- Teresa with the syringe.

"For all we know this thing could kill him." I say my words are strong but the break in my voice on the last word gives me away.

"He's already dying. Look at him!" We all turn to look at Alby he is shaking and his veins are discoloured every so often he makes these terrible gurgling choking noises. "How could this possibly make things any worse? Cmon it's worth a try."
Newt looks at me then looks to Alby.

We all wait in a strained silence for a moment before Newt speaks.

"Alright. Do it." He says as he passes the syringe back to Thomas I still have one in my hand so I slide it in my back pocket and get over to Albys side, Thomas leans down and so do I holding this arm gently.

He raises one of his hands and that's when I see that his hand is shaking and sweat is prickling at his hairline he looks back at Newt his breath getting quicker, I look at him closely, he looks absolutely terrified so I grab the syringe from his hand he looks at me with a question in his eyes but I simply nod he straights up still breathing heavily but he isn't shaking anymore.

"Okay" I take a deep breath in then turn back to Alby soddenly I feel a hand grab my collar roughly pulling me down so I'm millimetres away from his face.

"You shouldn't be here Elaine!" I feel his nails dig into my skin as he starts screaming and shaking me, I feel the others trying to get him of me and I hear Thomas breathing heavily close to my ear trying to pry Albys fingers of off me.
And I'm just stuck looking into his eyes as he writhes in mental turmoil, I feel someone's hands on my waist trying to pull me away.

"The syringe!" I hear Thomas yell then Teresa grabs it stabbing it into the skin of Albys chest. He lets me go almost instantly and I pull back away from him getting to my feet again I put a hand to my pounding heart breathing in deeply I look to my left seeing my favourite pair of deep brown eyes looking worriedly at me I nod at Newt telling him without words I'm uninjured he wraps his arms around me pulling me close to him his heart is also beating out of his chest and I can feel his arms shaking as they are wrapped around me, I return the hug my arms finding their away around his waist as I take comfort in his arms.

"Well that worked." Says someone I'm assuming Jeff but I don't turn to see I just burry my head deeper into Newts chest.

"Okay from now on someone stayes here and watches him around the clock!" He holds me a little tighter and closer his lips find the crown of my head and he plants a soft kiss on the spot.

"Hey." I hear a voice that I don't really want to hear right now and pull away from Newt staying close to him as I turn around my back practically touching his chest its Gally he stands at the door looking straight at me and Thomas.
"Sun down Elaine, greenie. Time to go." I sigh nodding and giving one last look to Newt then start towards the door.
