Chapter 5: The Choice; Bitten
Thanks for all the votes and views guys! Keep it up!
I was in so much pain while covering the bite mark with my sleeve.
Kate spoke up, "I have to tell you something, Patrick."
"Yes?" I said wondering what other secrets this world could hide from me.
"I'm dying." She looked down depressed.
"What!" My heart sank.
"I have leukemia."
"Oh god..."
"I'm so sorry." I tried to say to sound like I knew but I had no clue.
Christian and Daniel were looking like they'd just seen ghosts.
"I have something to confess." I broke the silence. I pulled the sleeve of my left arm up. "I'm bit."
Everyone gasped.
"This is the end." I said. Now what? Were all dying?"
Daniel spoke for the first time that evening. "I mean, can't we just like cut it off or something?"
"I think it's been to long." I replied sadly.

I was getting into bed with Kate.
"Patrick. I might not get through the night. I just want to kiss you, hold you, and say I love you for the last time."
"Me too."
She fell asleep on my chest.
***
"Patrick.." Daniel said softly. "She gone."
I just sat there for a moment thinking about all the time we had spent with each other. Granite it wasn't long but is sure as hell was fun.
