Virus part 2 : Help Him

Previously: "Mark not so loud. Harris what else is there?" "It seems the ships 'brain' is trying to get us to complete this cycle, and we only have five hours left before the virus destroys the ship.......and kills you."

___________

Ryan's pov :

I was frozen , my body felt like it weighted a hundred pounds. I only had five hours! Five hours for Harris to hopefully complete some cycle and stop this virus or.....I die.

There were so many emotions mixed up inside me, that I'd completely forgotten that Mark and Harris were still in the room or that I was still strapped down to the medical bed.

The only thing I could think was , 'why, why me . why was this happening to me '. Hot fresh tears began to stream down my cheeks. It was all too much to handle.

I was gonna die. I'd never get to go to college or get married.

Sobs racked through my body , I couldn't stop my cries anymore . The bed then dipped beside me. I looked up through my blurred eyes to notice Mark was beside me. He looked down to me with a look of pain and sadness . My voice came out as a low whisper , "why.....sob.....why is this happening to me." He stayed silent as I continued to cry. Suddenly , I felt the straps on my arms loosen and I was pulled into a warm chest , and the feeling of circles being rubbed on my back. I burried my face into his neck and continued to cry as he tried to comfort me.

This went on for what felt like hours , but may only have been a few minutes. My sobs had finally calmed down, but the tears kept coming . Mark then decided to speak . "hey ry-guy I.......I know your scared , but your a walker and we don't do scared , Harris is gonna do whatever it takes to help you..." , before he could finish I cut him off. "And you ??" , his gaze caught my own , "of course , I'll always help you , I'm you big bother and dont you ever forget it ." A small smile made its way onto my tearstained face. He handed me a towel from god-knows-where and had me wipe my face .

But that's when I noticed, 'where's Harris??'

Mark: I told him to leave , until I got you to calm down and stop crying . You were so focused on crying that you didnt notice.

'Huh, how did he know what I was thinking . is he a mind reader??'

Mark: no , but you are speaking out loud.

'Oh , well that explains a lot.'

After that final thought , I then realized he was still holding me and my head was now resting his shoulder. I then tried to move from his grip , now embrassed from crying . But he only held me tighter , and after a few minutes of struggling I finally gave in and just stayed there .

An hour or so had pasted and he was still holding me , but now his breathing was shallow and even , also his grip on me was more loose then before , 'he must have fallen asleep' . I didn't want to disturbs Mark and I must be heavy , so I tired to slowly ease myself off him. Big mistake , once my feet it the floor a wave of dizziness washed over me. My balance was off , the room was spinning .

My stomach started to turn in knots , my throat started to burn . In what felt like a second , I was on my hands and knees ,with a puddle of black ooze under me. But what scared me the most was that a few visible blood drops were mixed in.

My chest began to hurt , it was getting hard to breathe. I tried to call for mark , but my voice came out as a whisper. 'Well sorry about this mark' , I used my powers to set the alarm off , siding mark flying up and looking around .

Mark's POV: One minute I was sleeping , the next I'm being woken up by alarms! I shot up from my laying position on the medical bed, to find that Ryan wasn't in my arms anymore. Wait where is Ryan ! I quickly looked around the room for him . When something out the corner of my eye, caught my attention .
