Roses are Red Part 5

                                  -------------------------''Fire drill''----------------------------

Weeks later and Rose was getting worse. It took a toll on everyone, Rose was always ill, always weaker but that didn't stop her from being so happy. so you can imagine the toll it took on them to see her so miserable and forlorn on a hospital bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan was worried about Ramps. She was sad which in all the years Logan had known her was a rare occurrence, her optimism was one of the things he liked, scratch that loved, about her. It hurt him seeing her so woebegone. Logan was startled out of his musings when Carswell Suave Daring Careful Thorne burst in, with tears in his eyes ''She has been admitted to critical'' he sobbed. They all knew who she was, and that was when Rampion ran out of the building. Lets say it was a difficult day for the crew and their kids.

Of course Logan ran after her. ''Ramps!'' he panted, racing towards their clearing. When he got there, out off breath, Rampion was nowhere in sight. ''Ramps'' he said softly, though there was a hint of worry in his voice where was she?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Ramps was in the tree above Logan, crying softly, it was her fault she thought. From all her mucking about in the woods, she had given Rose some kind of stupid disease and now Rose, sweet Rose, was in critical condition!

It appeared she wasn't crying as softly as she thought as Logan's head shot up ''Ramps'' he sighed with relief, and began too climb the tree and sat next to her on the branch she was perched on. ''I would say "are you OK?", but I know that would be cliche and stupid, as I know you aren't'' he said trying to lighten the mood. A small smile tugged on Rampion's lips she couldn't help smiling when Logan was around, but as she remembered her smile drooped ''It's my fault'' she whispered, her voice laced with unshed tears. Logan sighed ''I didn't do a cliche on you better not do the "oh it's all my fault'' one, as its NOT Ramps, trust me it's not, I know it's not''. Logan looked at her with his forest green eyes, ''Tell me one reason why''. Rampion sighed, in her heart of hearts she knew it wasn't her fault, but it was like when there's a fire drill you know it's not real yet you can't stop being worried and doubting that its a drill. Logan hugged her ''I know how you feel, we all feel that way, whenever someone you love or just know, gets hurt you blame yourself, survivors guilt, except in this case Rose is a survivor too she's gonna be OK''. Sometimes you need a friend to tell you something, something you know and that's what it was like for Rampion, Logan was the friend telling her it was just a drill.
