Im Addicted To Extra Strong Mints
Day 13, 5:30
"I'll turn off the lights, try to sleep until dawn .- Denia announced before the last turn of the lanterns leaving nursing almost dark as she continues working.
I cringe under the covers, looking for a position I would not be painless and take shelter from the cold now that I've managed to stop shivering.
"Do not accommodate much, is Scott .- Dylan tells me, still sitting with my feet and stared at the skyline.
The few lights shine in his eyes black, with pale face. Returns to be as serious as usual, but something in his attitude remains different. Is relaxed, does not seem ready to jump at any time. He's comfortable with me and I love it.
- Scott? Now I remember
Denia words: it was he who took me from the forest. I wake up suddenly, feeling dizzy from the sudden movement and noting that a shiver through me to have stayed the body without the support of the blankets.
"Do not talk so loud, Denia has not stopped coming to see you and if Ethan realizes that I'm here to kick me. It is very rare .- blond boy laughs, standing squatting next to me. Does your normal
perfect short hair disheveled and has received many blows that have left her face bruised, but continued wearing the captivating smile that wins so many girls.
- God, Scott, thank you - exclaimed before the plunge and embrace you with scorching tears.
"I'm not the des. What do you think? What would leave you roll there? - Says, responding to the embrace, laughing .- You will have to promise me you'll never walk alone in the woods. If you find you do not have surveillance, search for your brother. Dylan
averts his eyes when crossed with mine, letting me know that he should have been there at that time. If we had fought separately and then, things have not gone well. But I do not care and I hope he will also be able to leave it behind.
"I swear that I have no intention of returning to the forest as soon get out of it .- kidding, separating .- Are you okay?
"Yes, this is nothing not to go with a couple of bandages and hydrogen peroxide. Which is wrong you, so rest. Do you stay in the hospital surveillance? Ordain you'd better with the trees .- turns to Dylan in innocence, making me feel guilty for not letting you know the real reasons why the guy is me.
"I'm watching Nora, Denia can not and I have had .- dryly replied, using his usual tone .- Go take away the blood, You disgust.
"I love you, Uncle Scott .- ironically, standing with him .- Do not despair, it is best advised to ignore me before .- turn around .- See you tomorrow, mate. That last word
get tensed at both, but soon I realize that is stupid. Scott knows nothing, is a joke as any. Although it is clear that is not the most appropriate for our situation, because Dylan gives me a worried look when I move to go back to topple. And I know what you're thinking: what are we? Have you decided? And if so, what will we be? Hate it with all my heart.
- Does this look is so "couple" or because you're a little jealous also by the embrace of Scott? - I choose to say.
"I was not jealous of Darren, the less I will be pregnant with Scott. That would be as unhealthy.
- Why? Scott is a handsome boy, may like it .- defending him.
"Yes, but I am sure you would not like it .- I am offended by your comment and it captures the moment, because it is quick to clarify his words .- Scott is not sure which team plays, I do not know if I understand. Has many questions and if you have them, there must be.
-Oh .- muttered, running out of words.
Now that's a true story, the large topic of conversation would the citizens of Evansville for a year. What a disappointment to learn that female population that ...
-surprising, huh? - Smiles.
"A little affirm .- .- Well, you better sleep. Again I
tuck the covers and close my eyes, straining to let out my weariness and give adrenaline. I'm almost getting it when I notice that Dylan moves to end lying beside me.
I open my eyes instantly terrified, trying to find some sense of the situation.
- What are you doing?
"What I've been wanting to do since you've left before embracing .- whispers, getting under my duvet and bustle of making a threat of returning to surround myself with arms.
I have fear that someone will see, that Scott or Ethan back and ... I do not care. Right now I'm not the most consistent person in the universe, so now I'll worry later for my actions. Closing his eyes
again, I curl up against him head on his shoulder. I sleep so much easier to raise and comfortable. Dylan
sighs at my reaction and buries her head in my hair, shaking her arms.
.- whispers "Good night.
"Good evening.
I sleep with Dylan. Dylan hugging. No. Better not think about it. My heart goes so fast that I'm sure he will eventually realize, so you'd better relax and leave everything ago. Although it is impossible.
But I have to sleep. So I force myself to breathe deeply and calm down and reconcile the dream.

Day 13, 6:00
If I retreat early in the warmth of my tent I'll finish with pneumonia in the hospital, but I need someone I confirm that my wounds are surface. Denia continues to remove blood from his face with patience, making sure I do not need points while talking about the possibility of giving me something for pain. I do not want anything, I hate drugs as a child and I have never needed. So I do not understand why that will change now.
- Do you know? Which is going to go to sleep like a log will be me .- sentence, rubbing his eyes after being contained hardly a yawn.
- There is no one helping with this - I am interested .- You can do another, you're dead.
-just got my brother went to the forest track with Ethan and I guess now I will help. Has gone for water .- respond.
- Your brother? I did not know who was among those infected.
And it is not. My parents called him when I act weird and came from the capital to talk to me and I had to tell. Decided to stay, keeping me back to college to me sick here did not make him any grace. It is a great help .- I said with a smile of pride .- studied biochemistry and feels quite interested by this virus.
-Family
brains .- joke, making smile when other cotton strip soaked in blood on the floor. "Exactly .-
match, raising her head to look over his shoulder .- Look, is what is right without knowing what to do.
lift my head to see in the dark. He is tall and has dark hair, similar to Dylan. I can not see his eyes at this distance, but I know he's attractive. The shape of her features and it gives me to understand. "It's pretty
.- Denia tell innocently walking with Security .- Three hundred girls around him. She
provides for a second in silence before a sly smile take over your face. Leave the kit on the floor before answering.
"Never has been one of those, do not go for anything with it .- there is a kind of secret message hidden in his words, but could not pick .- It is curious, Gabriel said the same about you when I answered your questions about you.
Gabriel? I like the name.
- Questions for me? When?
"When he came to camp, still not even know your name .- says, rising .- Anyway, back to the topic. You're right, I sleep. I'll tell Gabriel to finish him with your wounds. See you tomorrow.
winked, turns to join his brother, leaving me speechless. Denia is very rare, I start to really think you need a vacation from all the stress that is causing our situation.
I wait patiently for the boy to approach, hoping to go to sleep. This starts to be killer.
"I think the pretty nurse has gone to sleep, you'll have to settle for me .- Gabriel greets me, approaching me.
is now that I can distinguish those flashing eyes that is his sister, a thousand times more beautiful than yours. I have to admit however much they want to Denia. And if I told her that he is handsome, now repeat. It is that and much more.
"I will settle for no bleed.
Gabriel laughs and starts a new cotton soaked in hydrogen peroxide.
"By the way, my name is ...
" I know, Denia told me .- I interrupt, sounding too gay for the situation .- Thanks for joining us enough help in our situation.
"So you're another infected .- apparent, forcing me to lift his head while removing the cotton dried blood left on my left cheek.
When I blush for your skin contact with mine and try to hide it, thanking the darkness. Do not know what I'm doing, is a boy but lives in another city, and ... Do I need anything else? It's a boy. And although I'm not sure what I prefer ... Ah! Do not even know what I think.
"No, I do not .- respond when I realized that I have not replied .- I'm just here for my friends, they all have the disease and could not leave them alone. So I'm here.
"I understand. As soon as I heard what had happened to Denia just thought I'd pack up and return to this poky old town. Although I did when I was delighted with the idea of \u200b\u200bnot returning .- recognizes undeterred by our contact .- I think this is now. Did you Denia given aspirin or something?
"I have recommended you take them, but do not want. I hate those weird things.
As away, also take the opportunity to move away and increase the distance between us.
"I can ensure they are safe .- jokes without realizing my attitude .- See you tomorrow.
"Yes, I suppose. .- I say goodbye to another, casting almost running to my tent.
Denia not only needs a holiday. We're all starting to go crazy with the matter, especially me.

Day 13, 10:09
a while I've been awake, but I am so very comfortable that I do not want to move. The cold seems to have the courage to approach us. And I say us because Dylan is still there, mired in a deep sleep, breathing deeply. Has barely budged throughout the night, continues to face close to mine, her arms around me. Our legs have chosen to intertwine in a strange tangle that I do not bother to undo.
Nursing continues to sleep, they sleep in peace now the nightmare is over and Denia has not made an appearance at the moment. For me this time could be extended forever. I do not want it to end.
For in that he does, as Dylan can wake up that everything changes. To return the stupid and insecure boy who harmed me. I do not want, I refuse to have to return to the past after what we experienced.
sigh and sink into it over her head, closing his eyes. Ethan come to see me four times to ensure I'm well and then give me the news. Bad or good news. Maybe it's news to dry. I do not want to face anything that is happening, right now I crave only refuge in my imaginary world. Some light passes
me suggest that my dream is over, especially when someone is approaching and crouches next to us. Seeing that only comes Dylan wake, half opening his eyes and surreptitiously grabbed me closer to him.
-Dylan, wake up ... - Denia whispers with some nervousness.
He moves suddenly before the eyes open and focus the view towards the girl who smiles at him immediately.
-Ethan is coming to see Nora, I thought you would not like that I saw ...
- Huh? - Dylan still takes a few seconds longer to clear your mind and absorb the information, but finally nods. - Yes, of course, thanks .- whispered hoarsely as he turns to shoot me with a yawn escapándosele by mouth.
"Nothing. Bye.
Hoping to make something completely close my eyes again and openly sleep. After a couple of times cursing under his breath for the few hours of rest, I note that turns to me and I look forward with excitement.
"I know you're awake .- laughs under his breath, placing the hair behind her ear. Loose
giggled when they heard his words, leaving pretending and giving me up. I open my eyes and I lie face up, turning to bring him to keep the heat that we have created under the covers during those hours.
I contemplate in silence before I say anything, surprised at how different it looks now, just lifted. The wild hair, hooded eyes and dark circles indescribable smile ... I like this.
.- greeting "Good morning, responding to his smile without noticing.
"Good morning. How are you? - Asks, leaning on his elbow to lean on me and started stroking my hair.
"Tired, but much better than a few hours ago ... .- I have to refer to what happened, saying" yesterday "is not the right thing. Have not passed or twelve hours.
"I'm glad to hear that .- recognizes, looking up to see the nurse .- Ethan is coming, so I'd better go. I'll call later to see you, okay?
"If there is no other ... - mumble mumble, feeling little attracted by the plan.
"I promise that this" late "is in your brother go .- says, laughing, to cheer a little more .- Try to sleep more, I think you have been good.
Not knowing quite what to do to say goodbye, watched him a couple of seconds and rises with resignation, turning to leave the blankets in place to protect from the cold. Farewell with a smile, slowly away, wearing only his T-shirt, which reminds me that I still wear your sweatshirt.
In a vain attempt to keep the feeling that causes me to have him beside me I curl into the huge sweatshirt and I'm just waiting for Ethan to come. Because if you are going to do, it is foolish to return to sleep to finish waking up a few minutes.
the distance, I see Ethan and Dylan will cross paths and exchange a few words before proceeding each with its own way. I hope my feelings do not end with the friendship of both.
Seeing me awake, my brother smiles and runs the last mile run, dodging nimbly patients without pausing to consider whether you want any of them could be his friend. I guess now I can not think of anything more than making sure I have not lost an arm or something.
-Dwarf, how are you? - Ask me, drowning in a bear hug of his own.
"I'm fine, you do not me ask me all of ten minutes .- River, responding to the gesture with all my strength, not caring that my wounds will resent it.
You do not know the shock you gave me not being at home ... - I whispered in your ear without departing one iota .- Had it not been for Scott ...
"Stop martirizarte for it. The important thing is that I found and I'm fine. We are all more or less trying to move away .- I cut to breathe .- Why did not you say what he planned to Dad?
- How you heard? - look me straight in the eye, fixing his gray eyes caught mine.
"Yesterday I heard her say things to the men who tried to kill me .- admit, feeling a lump in my throat is installed .- And then I forced myself to Dylan to tell me what happened. They have killed father, Ethan.
Her voice breaks me in that last statement I am aware now that it's true: we have killed and are now going after us. Ethan is pale, not knowing what to say, I do not even seem to desire even to be angry with his friend for having revealed the truth.
- How do you know? - Get asked hoarsely.
"One man ... - start, holding back tears barely .- He said he had given you was dead and that his son would be in shortly. Who failed to find the mother and wife, but soon be handed to see his family dead. They also talked about me .- I hope a few seconds to say something, I disprove this fatal information but does not. And it does because he knows that I have reason.
As sprout again the tears from my eyes, Ethan breaks the distance once more and I close with sweetness, burying his head in my neck as he rocks me like a baby. I can feel her tears on my skin, her pain by binding to it in that strange silence which has become master of nursing.
may not have been a good father, perhaps we have been bitter for all our lives, especially with Ethan, but I think it does not matter now. Because the sensation is causing me the idea of \u200b\u200blosing a parent, knowing that going after my brother and who long for death of my mother is getting death of me. And with it too.
Because we never thought that someone's death was the solution to our problem. We have had enough with Samuel.
- What ... what will we do - asked, struggling to catch their breath.
"I'm going to the police, they tell you all ignoring the disease .- respond more calmly than I do, without letting the tears take over completely it .- I promise that this will end and soon be home safe.
- what about you? - Suddenly remember what I said long ago, early in the trip when we discovered their secrets. I wanted to leave because he was afraid of not being able to control himself, to hurt me and put us in danger.
"I'll do with vaccines and remedies and be with you, I give you my word .- I promised softly.
"Go and police .- incites him, forcing my .- just as with it.
"I will not leave you alone.
I'm about to tell you that Dylan come when I fall into the reality that he knows nothing and fell, seeking a more appropriate response.
"He'll probably Lydia Denia and bust.
"Oh, that reminds me that I spoke with Taylor .- says, running his hand over his eyes to wipe them .- You appear to have an idea of \u200b\u200bwho may be the men who attacked us, so I'm going to accompany the police station .
- What are you going to say about Samuel? "I dare to ask.
-is buried, I doubt you will find jamás. whispers .- He asked us to keep it secret, I think we should at least fulfill his last wish.
"Okay. Then go.
"I'll ask someone to take you home, you'll be better there. Try Having A left before midnight, okay?
"Do not worry, really .- I ask you, forcing a smile .- Hurry.
I love you, Nora. Everything will be alright. "And that sweatshirt? - Asks suddenly.
-Ah .- go, now what am I saying? I guess if I'm honest, you may not notice anything unusual and to think that Dylan has finally decided to behave decently with me .- I gave Dylan, this morning it was cold as hell and he was not concerned so much.
"I think he'll have to thank for taking care .- leans over and kisses me on the forehead before to leave quickly, without letting me respond. Whisper quiet
having passed that bump and turn to plunge into my makeshift bed. If the police took charge of the situation, we will not have to worry about. Because without my father, my mother will soon fall and give them the cure. I'm convinced.
Although what I want most right now is that caught these men and make them pay for their crimes.
