Chapter 19

[July 13th 2030)

[Angela's P.O.V]

--

I had been led back into the hospital. Carol, Dustin, and Connor, pretty much went suicidal. Now I can never see them again. This disease has spread like wildfire, and the supposed cure was a bunch of temporary bull crap. It was just an excuse for David to keep us from losing our minds from being pessimistic.

As I sat on a cot in the operating room, I just kept crying. There was no meaning in my life anymore. I had lost a great friend, my husband, and my only son. Dustin hadn't even really lived his life yet, he was just a teenager that had his future ahead of him.

Connor, he was my husband. I loved him. Now, he's not here anymore. What am I going to do? I missed his smile, the way he cared about me; and now I have none of that. He ran right to the infected, and now I no longer have him in my life. I'll miss his warm hugs, and the way he smelled; he smelled like apples, really good smelling apples. I'll miss him always, I'll miss his warm embrace that makes me feel so safe and secure when we're sleeping. I feel vulnerable without him now; but I'll get through it. At least I still have Ted.

Carol, she was a great person to be around. She had helped us when we needed it the most. She had been there to help us through the ordeal, and then she got infected. Then things changed, and we had to try and protect her. We, or should I say Ted and I, were there for her. We made sure that she wasn't going to attack us, and that the infected wouldn't attack her. Now she's gone, torn to shreds by the infected by an apparent death wish. We had told her that Connor, Dustin, and I, weren't going to attack her. We were right, we hadn't attacked her, but then she went suicidal, and ran right into the infected.

Now, it's just Ted, David, and I. Soon though, it will be just Ted, and I. Ted, and I will make it through this together. We're strong, we'll get through this.

David on the other hand is going to pay for lying to us, especially me. He will pay severely for what he did. He may have tried to help Connor, Dustin, and Carol, but in the end he didn't help them. That is what bugs me, I don't give a damn if he said that it was a cure, it didn't cure a damn thing.

After about a millennium I ran out of tears to cry, and got up off the cot. I was going to confront David. He would surely pay for this.

I looked around for David, and when I didn't see him in the operating room, I went back to where I was this morning.

Surely enough he was in there. He was sitting on a metal bench, reading a book. "David!" I hollered.

I made him jump, and he looked up startled. "What is it?"

"You lied to me. You said that the tea was a cure, you lied. Now my life is ruined, you ruined my life." I spat at his face.

"Angela, I did not ruin your life." He responded calmly.

"YES YOU DID!"I hollered. "If you knew what you did then maybe, just maybe you would understand."

"Oh really?" He scoffed.

I really didn't need an older person's sass, they become stubborn at a certain age, and I don't need it right now.

I dragged my hands over my face, annoyed. I didn't have time for this. I turned around and walked out of the room. Once I was back out into the Operating Room, I decided to listen to the radio for a bit. There were no announcers on the radio; the stations were either static, or there was an emergency broadcast that was automated.
