Chapter 21

Alex (NF) POV:

I walked home silently after talking to Jake, he watched me leave. I felt a bit happy but scared as well.... "Fear...I haven't felt that in awhile..." I sighed and made it back home.

I remembered just then that I had snuck out, and was most likely already found out about that. I decided to go through the window again anyways. As I crawled through the window and made it into the room father was at the door. "Your still not well. You can't just go out because you want to Alex" he said.

"I know.... I'm sorry....." I looked down. Father wasted a lot of his time on me... Spent a lot of money on me. I felt his hand suddenly on my hand and I jumped startled. "Father?" I looked up at him. "You don't know how worried I was.... You ran away... Got yourself sick... You didn't come home until morning.... And when I got home... I just saw you in front of the house on the ground clawing your neck and calling for me.." His voice wavered slightly.

I felt myself wanting to cry. "I'm sorry...." I said once again. Father hugged me instantly "Don't do that again." He ordered kindly. I nodded "I won't.... I won't do that again...." I closed my eyes slightly. "Good, its time to take your medicine, you must feel bad right now correct?" He asked.

Father got the medicine out and looked at me. "I don't feel well, and I have a headache" I sat down on my bed. "It got worse hasn't it..." He sounded like he was talking to me and also himself. "I guess.... It doesn't matter...." I held out my arm for father who took it. "It does matter, you could be walking somewhere and could suddenly have a attack" he injected the medicine into my arm.

He took out another one. "You'll have to take another one for now on. So 2 daily, this one goes on your side." I sighed softly and pulled my shirt up exposing my side and my stomach. Father injected the medicine into my side and got up. "Go and rest, I'll come check up on you in a little bit." He smiled toward me, but when he turned, I saw the smile turn into a frown.

I got up slightly and walked to the door and looked out to see the doctor and Father talking. "He's getting worse each time, and his attacks are getting worse as well. If you are not with him with his medicine at the right moment, he could die. If this gets even worse, he'll have to move into my hospital, or he can't Go outside or leave his room anymore" the doctor told father. "I just hope it doesn't come to this, he's still young, he doesn't understand anything yet, I'll keep my eye on him... He won't die..... I just won't let him leave his room for awhile, to rest and settle his sickness a bit more" he replied to the doctor.

My eyes widen "I'll die..... I won't be able to leave... I might move.... I might never see Jake again.... He would search for me.... But never find me..." I stumbled back from my door and went into a corner. "I don't want to die..." I muttered holding myself in a corner.

A couple hours pasted and I was moved to my bed by father. I couldn't fall asleep, feeling as if I did, I wouldn't be in my room anymore, or I'd die in my sleep. I was curled up in my blankets facing the wall. The only things crossing my mind was dying, Moving, and never seeing Jake. I couldn't change anything that was happening and I was questioning if this was actually a good life to live anyways.

Father checked on me a couple times between an hour or two. I didn't pay attention to him until he came in while I was thinking again. "Father.... Am I going to die if this keeps up.... Or are we just going to leave this home..." I asked not looking at him. "I see you overheard us... Alex, you won't die. I wouldn't let that happen to you anyways. And moving you into his hospital is only if you get to sick to even leave your bed" he replied.

"I'm already to sick... Wouldn't it be easier on you to just give me to them.... It would be more helpful to you... And you won't have to worry..." I felt my bottom lip tremble. "Alex, remember the day you became my son? That day I decided to take care of you, the first time you got this sickness was because of an job I got you to do. If you didn't go fulfill it, you would have been fine. The sickness can't go away, based on their own data. The only cure is by them. And our doctor. People have died from the sickness before but the police still don't understand... That's why they can't have hold of you. You'll be fine after this okay?" Father gave me a smile as I turned to look at him.

I nodded to him and turned my head around again to face the wall. "Okay...." I smiled softly feeling my tired self fall asleep. The last thing I heard from father was surprising but I couldn't say anything about it, I fell asleep.

"The sickness changes people after a certain point.... You may change... And you'll act differently towards everyone... Just don't change your heart..."
