Her:

Is he okay?

Did I just kill him?

I told him to stay away.

God he never listens.

I stand up and make my way to him.

I kneel down and put my ear to his mouth to see if he's breathing.

He is.

Okay, so I didn't kill him.

I can't exactly touch him to shake him away.

I get a branch that's next to him and hit him in the head with it.

He doesn't move.

I start to freak out.

Then, his eyes open.

I sigh a breath of relief.

He looks around confused and then he seems me.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"What? Am I okay? Dude are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah I'm fine." He says standing up.

He looks down at his left arm and frowns.

It looks like my hand.

The veins are red instead of blue and blue splotches everywhere.

"What happened?" He asks.

I run.

I hear him run after me.

He can't know.

If he knows.

He'll die.
