It's the Z-Life

No Sleep

I spent four days straight, with no sleep, working in this. Alyssa walked in with a concerned look.

“Liz, you need to sleep. You’ve gone four days without sleep.” She said and put a hand on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes.

“Sleep is over rated. I’m almost there.” I said as I placed a beaker with some mixed chemicals in it, on the table. “Here.” I whispered and injected a new walker with the cure; try whatever. I lost count a while ago.

“Tell me if anything happens.” I said and headed to my room and lay on the ground and closed my eyes. Rest… finally.

“You finally took a break?” Jacob made me jump. I didn’t think he was with me. Jake lay right next to me and I curled up next to him. My head on his chest.

“You’re so tense.” He said and kissed my forehead and rubbed my arms.

“I’m sorry. It’s a lot of pressure knowing the whole human race is depending on me.” I said. Jake wrapped his arms around me and I melted in his grasp.

“You’re doing a fine job. This time the cure will work. I know it. You’re a very smart girl, Liz.” Jacob’s voice was re-assuring. I turn my head and kiss him on the lips, then I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes to try and rest.

 “When all of this is over, I am going to take you to a restaurant. A nice one, too. To take you on a real date. You deserve it, baby girl.” Jacob’s voice sounded like heaven at the moment. I smiled and actually purred. That’s when I began to drift into a sleep.

“Goodnight, Elizabeth. I love you.” Jake said.

“Rise and Shine, Sleeping beauty!” Laura said. I saw Kujo, Laura, and Alyssa sitting in my room. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, then yawned.

“How long was I out?” I asked. I couldn’t see Jake. I kind of gotten a little worried.

“Two days.” The girls said in sync. I tilted my head at the awkwardness, then patted Kujo as he licked my tired face.

“Where’s Jake?” I asked and sat completely up and stretched out. Alyssa smiled at Laura.

“He’ll be back. Liz, we’ve got to show you something!” They got awkwardly excited.

A/N How is it coming? :D almost
