Not Today

Chapter 4

Georgia begins cleaning up the blood from the patio whilst Josh washes the blood from his clothes from carrying the man to the shed.
'Are you okay?' Tyler says, hugging me from behind.
'I don't want to stay here anymore Ty' I say, turning around to look at him 'I can't just forget that there's a corpse in the shed or the fact one of my friends killed a man whilst we stood there and watched. This isn't some horror film that I'm going to be the stupid one who goes chasing after the ghouls, I'm not brave enough to say here' I sigh and begins putting my lounge wear I got out earlier back into my case.
'Come on Danni, we are here to relax after the exams, one look at that beautiful lake outside and you'll be sold' he smiles and pulls me towards the window.
'It is beautiful' I smile back at him 'I suppose tonight won't hurt'
'There we go' he laughs, poking my in the stomach.
'I might take a nap, I can tell we are going to be up all night with everyone, embracing the free life' I laugh and Tyler nods in understanding.

*6:42pm*

I'm awoken by the throaty coughs from downstairs, sounding like someone is throwing up. I run down the stairs to see what is going on and see Georgia hunched over coughing up something.
'You okay?' I ask and walk closer, my eyes widen when i realise what she has coughed up. 'Georgia' I say and step back 'what is that!' I point to what looks like an intestine covered in blood 'what is wrong' I shout, alerting everyone else. She looks at me innocently, like she is as confused as I am but I can't help feeling scared by her.
'Oh my god Georgia' Ruby looks at the girl stood in a blood soaked white top and denim shorts looking at us like she has seen a ghost. 'How.. What.. Why' Ruby stutters unable to form a sentence and we both stand there looking at the lifeless pale girl who looks nothing like the Georgia we once knew.
'Tyler! Josh! Get down here' I shout, I hear their footsteps running down the stairs and come to a halt next to us.
'What happened here?' Josh laughs 'ew is that blood?' He winces at the sight and Tyler is stood there shocked with his mouth open.
'What if you're ill George, what if that man had something that's highly contagious and you got it from cleaning his blood' Ruby worries m, running her hands through her hair.
'We can't take any precautions Georgia you know that' Tyler says seriously, stepping closer to Georgia without touching her or the blood on the floor. She nods and looks down at what she has produced. She starts heaving making Tyler jump back just in time for the second round. More blood, more intestine looking objects but this time there is yellow goo.
'What the fuck!' Josh yells holding his head, pulling at his mowhawk.
'Help me' she cries, tears filling her eyes, desperation evident on her face. 'It hurts' she bursts into tears, clenching her stomach.
'We have to lock you up' I say with complete regret as they all look at me like I'm alien.
'I agree' Josh finally says.
'You're joking right? She's our friend, we can't lock her up like she is an animal in captivity' Ruby cries and Georgia stands there with a blank facial expression.
'I'm sorry Georgia, Danni's right, we can't have any more of us becoming infected' Tyler says in a monotone voice 'I would recommend the shed but that's occupied' he tries to make a light of the situation 'sorry' he bows his head 'your room has a lock right?' He asks and she nods 'there, you'll have your bed and tv, it'll be like living with parents all over again' he laughs making us all force a laugh out.

We escort Georgia up to her room. My heart drops at her innocent expression and sad look when we close the door on her. We have to do it for our health and mentality I say to myself over and over. Ruby twists the key in the door, locking her in, only we can open it now. We stand there for a few moments, not saying a word to each other, just like we are praying to God to help her, help us all in that matter.
