CHAPTER FOUR

Blake's POV

It was Claire sprawled on the floor crying. She looked so sad and helpless I wanted to know what had happened to her and how I could help her if I could.

Her sobs got a little louder when I heard a door inside the room open and a guy about 16 years old walked into the main room fresh out of the bathroom.

He had long jet black wavy hair parted at one side that stopped right underneath his ear, he was at least 5'8 and had a very well toned body although he wasn't very muscular, honestly this guy looked like a teen model dressed in his thin long sleeved ash shirt and black sweat pants he was wearing socks over his feat and had gloves on.

He looked like a crazy person to me. Who would have that much clothes on when this whole hospital was room temperature.

He walked over to Claire and took a seat on a chair that was right beside her.

"Stop it Claire you know I hate it when you show signs of weakness".

"I know, but this time I don't think I can keep it in any longer. It's getting way too much and I've been strong for too long".

"I know you have Claire and I want to thank you, you've been strong for yourself and strong for me for long enough. It's time I take back the torch, don't you think ?". I literally didn't understand what these people were talking about and which torch did this mysterious boy mean that he would carry for her.

"No, Cole I can't let you do this for me again. I'm your older sister, I'm meant to protect you and I've failed so many times let me do this a little longer?". The mysterious boy who's name was Cole's green eyes softened and it looked like he was going to cry.

"I won't let you take these hits any longer. Look at you," he waved his hands up and down around her.

"you get thinner everyday I'm scared you might break soon". He had finally broken and was crying.

"We need to get you out of that hell hole it isn't safe for you any more" he sighed.

"You know what?, You need to move out immediately". He added.

"I wish i could stay here with you" she grabbed his pillow and put her face in it.

He snatched it." What the hell do you think your doing?" He yelled.

"Do you want to get this?" he waved around himself yelling at her.

"At least if I do we would be together finally".

"No way I'm not losing you too" he started tearing up.

"I've already lost dad I'm not losing you too". He started full on crying and before I knew it he, broke into a coughing fit.

I was really scared at this point if he really is that sick he would die and I didn't need someone's death on my conscience.

"Hang on Cole I'm going to call the nurses" she was panicking. But he held on to her.

"Don't pls....if you don't.....call them then I can finally have peace" he said in-between coughs and I could tell this guy was done with life as it is and I wasn't going to let that happen on my watch even though they couldn't see me and didn't know me I wasn't going to let him die.

"You want to leave me?" She was crying even more than ever. Trying to get out of his grasp while he held unto her.

I started running as fast as I could I had to make sure the nurses got to Cole before it was too late.
