The rain pelted the tin roof of my house, coming down in buckets. I wrapped my blanket around me tighter as I sat up in my bed. The power had gone out ages ago and I'd just been sitting here - all alone. When the outbreak had first started, I admit, I was terrified. Terrified of what might happen to me or worse, Leo.
I loved him with all my heart and couldn't bear the thought of losing him. Especially to something as horrific as this outbreak. I needed him like air to breathe. He was the only person in the world who could make me feel like that and I never wanted to lose that feeling. But things were different today than they had been that day it had all started. Leo had been here then, holding me, comforting me.
I felt so safe with him beside me. And now he was gone - reporting on the other side of the Cordon. I sighed to myself as I thought of him - his sandy blonde hair, the stubble on his chin, his electric blue eyes. Gosh, I hoped he was okay out there. Suddenly, the ringing of the my phone beside my bed snapped me out of my thoughts. I snatched it up quickly and answered it.
"H-hello?" I asked into the phone, hesitantly.
"Jaz, it's me," Leo breathed into the phone.
Tears of happiness filled my eyes at the sound of his voice.
"Oh, Leo, baby are you alright? What's happening in there? Are you safe?" I asked, slightly frantic.
He shushed me gently.
"It's alright, angel, I'm fine. I got over the wall and I'm here with Lex," he said.
"It's Major Lex to you, Greene." I heard from somewhere in the background.
Leo sighed and I could almost see him roll his eyes.
"It's bad over here though. People are sick...dying even."
I closed my eyes briefly and sighed once more.
"Leo, why did you go? I can't stand it if..." I trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.
He was silent a moment before he spoke again.
"Jasmine, you know why. This is something I have to do. It's for my job, it had to be done."
"I know. I just...gosh, Leo, just stay safe okay? And come home to me?" I said, the concern in my voice evident.
"I will, Jazzy, I promise. You're my girl. How could I not come back to you?" he asked and I knew he was smiling.
I smiled widely then, my fears melting away. That's one thing about Leo. He always keeps his word.
"I love you, Leo." I sighed as more tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I love you too, angel." he said softly and then disconnected.
As soon as the line clicked, I didn't hold back the tears. I let them flow out of me as the pain of being without him hit me. My breathing as ragged as the tears continued to come. I lied down on my pillow and pulled the blanket up over my shoulder. This was going to be a long night...
