The Infected

Chapter 6

Rose's P.O.V

"What?!" I said face flushed starting to sweat.

"From that reaction, I'm going to assume it is," he said without showing emotion.

"What! No no that wasn't because it is. I'm just confused how you kn- I mean you got that assumption." I said laughing nervously. He rolled his eyes.

"It's pretty obvious, I'm surprised Gene didn't notice, There is a little white star right at the bottom of the hoodie." He said I rushed to look at it, it was there. I looked at him with a shocked expression. "You smart son of a bitch," I said to him still shocked.

"Soo, how did you get it?" He said. I gave in to the fact that it wasn't his.

"Finne well..."

(you know what time it is,

Flashback time)

I finally saw it, Gene's home. I have been going from friends house to friends house trying to see if they're alive or if there even there. I walked up to the porch praying that they were there, I hate being alone. I opened the door and called genes name. Silence. I checked every room except Gene so far nothing, I walked in his room and looked around. He wasn't there. I wanted to cry for the millionth time that week I looked through his stuff and found a black hoodie, it still smelled like him. I clutched the hoodie tight and calmed down I put the hoodie on and walked sadly downstairs I looked outside and saw a stone. I walked up to it and words were engraved on it. It was their parents. I felt horrible. They had to beery them. I looked around me to see what I can do. I looked at the ground and saw a pair of flowers. I was genuinely shocked, most of the time I saw no other life it was a miracle they were there. I walked up to me and dug around the roots. The flowers looked like they were inseparable so I took them out together. I carried the dirt and flowers over to the gravestone. I dug a hole behind the rock and I placed the flowers inside. I covered up the rest of the hole with the access dirt and flattened out. I smiled to myself looking at the sight. I think the boys would have appreciated it. I got down in my knees looking over their graves and closed my eyes.

"Hello, I'm sorry you passed away... I know you don't know me all that well but I wanted to ask you a favor. Can you watch over them for me? I can't be there for them like I want to, but you can. Please." I said I opened my eyes and smiled.

(End of flashback)

... I told him minis what I said to his parents. He looked at me with a sad smile.

"Y-you didn't have to do that." He said.

"I felt like I did. Anyway please don't tell your brother, he might find out" I said not thinking.

"Find out what?" He said. My face turned red. " That you have a crush on him? He won't trust me, but I won't tell" He said not changing expressions. I got even more flushed when he said crush.

"I hate you just a little bit right now," I said. "Yea so that's how I got it, I hope it's ok I went to your-" I paused remembering something. "That's right I went to your house!" Said standing up. Dante was giving me a confused look.

"What is it?" He said.

"Hold on," I said running to my safe. "I have something for you when I went to your home I took some other things," I said grabbing a book from the safe and putting it behind my back. I gave it to him and told him to look through it. Inside was lodes of pictures of Dante and his family. "I did this in many houses. Where I take a scrapbook so that when I can see them again I can give it to them." I said looking down at him flipping through the pages. He had a sad expression on his face. I kneed down and looked at it with him. "That's why I didn't forget you. When I got sad I looked at these." I said. He turned to a page with him and Gene making silly faces. I smiled and pointed to it. "That one is my favorite," I said he looked up at me with tears in his eyes.

"Me too," He said smiling sadly. "Rose I-i" He started. Then he moved the book and ran to hug me tight. I was taken aback by this but hugged him back.

"Hey no problem kid," I said not waiting for his thank you. He pulled away.

"How can I ever repay you?" He said tears still on his cheeks and in rolling down his eyes.

"By giving your brother some slack," I said wiping the tears from his eyes. He gave me a confused look. "Your brother has to deal with a lot. He has to take care of you as an adult would. But he's just a kid, and you can tell he's really struggling. And I know you're not that young but you still need someone to make sure you do the right things and not dies. So once in a while give him some slack. Plus now I'm going to be helping him." I said smiling. He nodded his head.

"Okay I will, wait did he ask you to take care of me?" He asked offended.

"No he didn't, but I just want to help him out, so get ready for Mama Rose," I said in a joking tone. He rolled his eyes.

"You'd probably be a lame parent," he said crossing his arms in a joking manner. I gasped pretending to be offended.

"How dare you. I'd be an awesome parent. Like a Dean parent." I said. He looked at me in confusion. "You know a Dean Winchester parent." I paused realizing something. "Oh right you never got to see supernatural, that's really sad, anyway dean is the type of parent that would give you a gun for your birthday and say 'Don't shot me'" I said. He smiled at me. "Anyway I'm going to be that parent your brother is the lame one," I said ruffling his already messy hair. "Plus I'm going back to your base with you," I said Jacob burst in.

"WHAT?" Jacob said.

"Calm down, we're moving it's not that big of a deal," I said. He looked at me with an annoyed look.

"Oh yeah sure, not a big deal. Tell me, Dante, are there going to be many people there" He asked.

"Um yeah," Dante said. Jacob made a noise that you make when your parents ask you to take out the garbage or some sort of chore.

"Rose, they could kick you out with me! Not everyone likes demons." He said. "Plus he could be there," he said under his breath.

"Trust me they won't. And plus it doesn't matter you have to come with me." I said. We argued about this for 40 minutes at least.

"So you can't do anything," I said finally. He rolled his eyes in defeat.

"Fiiinnneee," He said going back into his coin. Then Gene came out of the bathroom.

"Hey Mr. Im not going to be in there for long," I said. He rolled his eyes.

"You were right, that was amazing." He said. I smiled for winning multiple arguments.
"Anyway, I was thinking we could go tomorrow. So, Dante, you can sleep right here and I and Gene can share my bed."
