The Infected

Chapter 4

Just gonna warn you there might be a lot of Grammer mess ups in this one because someone *cough* menesesliz20 *cough* was rushing me to finish and I didn't have time to correct it through Grammerly so bare with me. I might go back and edit it but who knows

Rose's P.O.V

I heard gene make a weird sound from the cloth that was in his mouth.

Um, no I dont... Why?" Dante asked.

"Well teach you," I said. Gene just made a sound that sounded like uh-uh. "oh come on, it's important to learn, what if your gonna bleed out and I'm not there? He can help so I'm teaching him whether you like it or not, just have a little faith." I said. He rolled his eyes and nodded his head giving the sign that it was ok.

"So the ingredients you will need are a needle, thread or if you can find any you can use dental floss, and liquor which is so easy to find, people hoard that shit, even before the apocalypse started," I said. "You need to clean the wounds so they dont get infected," I said as I poured the liquor on his wound muttering sorry when he winced from the sting. "And I sip for me.." is said taking a swig. Yes I'm 16, yes I know I shouldn't be drinking, but I only do when I'm in a lot of pain emotionally or physically and it's only a swig. Plus you dont think you'd drink too if you were in this shithole of a planet. Dante goes to reach for the bottle. "Hey, what do you think you're doing," I said snatching the bottle.

"Taking a sip," he said reaching for the bottle again as pulled it out of his reach.

"How old are you?" I asked.

"12," he said looking disappointed.

"That's what I thought no liquor for you," I said putting down the bottle of liquor down and getting the needle ready to sew.

"If your Genes age wouldn't you be 16? That's not old enough to drink" He said in an angered tone.

"Well, lifes not fair beside older than you so I win HA!" I said finishing getting the needle ready.

"Ok, so the pattern you want to do is an up and down." (I don't know much about sewing so sorry if I say it incorrectly just pretend I am) I showed him the motion and made three stitches. "Okay for this one Im going to hold your hand as you do it to guide you are you comfortable with that?" I asked Dante. I saw Gene shake his head no.
"Im not talking to you, idjit," I said to Gene as I turned back to Dante.
"O-okay," He said in a shaky voice. He picked up the needle and I put his hand in mine and helped guide him. He made three stitches and barely messed up.

"Wow, Dante you did so well, Im going to let you do it on your own okay?" said calmly. He nodded. Gene looked a little nervous so I took his hand and held it. I was looking at Dante pretending I wasn't holding his hand. I smiled when I saw him blush from the corner of my eye. When Dante started to stitch him Gen squeezed my hand tightly like his life depended on it, I put my hand over his hand and I felt Gene calm down a little, but he was still squeezing my hand. "Done how does it look?" Dante said.

"Really good Dante, ok so now clean it a little more with the alcohol" I said as Dante grabbed the bottle and pouring it on the stitched wound.

"And now patch it up with the patch over there" I said lifting my hand off of genes and pointing to it then placing my hand back to its original place. He grabs the patch and places on Gene's wound. I take my hands off of Gene's And take the cloth out of Gene's mouth.

"That wasn't so bad right?" I said.

"W-" He started to say

"Yeah it wasn't so bad, ok now you too need a shower. Soo Dante go to the bathroom down the Hall in the bedroom and it's in there. Jacob can you get him something to change in" I said cutting Gene off. Jacob groaned and and fased through the window.

"Rose I can't thank you enough" Gene said smiling sweetly, still not wearing a shirt just saying.

"You don't have to thank me, I care about you, which extends to your brother" I said packing up the tools.

"Umm, did your view of the shithole world start?"
