My Father had gotten WhiteScratch! I could see the Yellow bumps on his skin and his pupils had started to enlarge! I don't know how he was able to keep the yellow bumps hidden from me but, he has! "FATHER!!" I said scared that my dad would start getting aggressive. I have no idea how long hes had WhiteScratch which means I have no idea what stage he's in! "Im okay Rachel, really it am." say my father trying to sooth my emotions! "NO, its not! How long have you been infected?!? Why did you keep this from me?!? I CANT LOOSE YOU TOO!". I'm starting to cry now, not wanting my father to die, but there is nothing I can do except watch! I feel so helpless, so hopeless! "Rachel, listen to me very carefully! You have to get away from me! I don't want to hurt you and I dont want you to watch me die! Go to Jake's house, he'll keep you safe!" My father says this so calmly as if nothing has happened! " I... I cant! You cant leave me! I have to stay with you and help you get better!" I say. "You cant darling, there is no cure and Ill only hurt you more, please, go." With tears rolling down my face, I kiss my father one last time, pack up my bag, and start heading out the door, but before I exit I hear my father barely whisper "I love you!" I turn b to say it back but he is hunched over holding his head and I know that's my cue to leave. As I'm walking away I mouth the words "I love you too and Ill miss you." and head toward Jake's house, toward my only protection.
