Day 13, 17:45
The rumor that Lydia was infected has spread like wildfire. Now, honestly, I have no idea of \u200b\u200bwhere my friends or where she has been taken. I called Ethan, but it is off and I do not insist. I know there is a good time to get heavy, but I do not know where to go.
The forest has been completely evacuated and Evansville are revolutionized with the new gossip. I do not want to go home and have to deal with questions of my parents. If I have escaped from the police control has been justly so, because I will not torment me now. It is to be able to hide forever, because soon connect the dots to see my face bruised, but I want to delay it as long as possible.
But then, what to do until it gets dark? Wear
wandering around the streets over an hour and I am extremely bored. Back to the routine after so much time just impossible. Do not even remember what was before Ethan and the other were infected. "Football? Boring. Quit? Impossible. Does learning? I get to laugh at the thought.
Maybe my only option really is to go home, face the anger of my parents for missing class these days and hardly have gone any day to sleep and give them a more or less convincing lies. Resigned, I turned around, ready to take the longer route to get to my house, through the commercial area of \u200b\u200bthe city. With any luck I ran into someone and find something better to do.
Some acquaintances are turned to face me when they see my wounds, but choose to ignore them and continue walking. I am aware that when you go to school everything will be worse, so I'd better get used to this in order to survive in the future.
- Taking advantage of this wonderful winter day in Evansville? "He asked in a voice that barely acknowledge, stopping in the middle of my way.
I turn to meet with Gabriel, who bears a huge bag of one of the most expensive stores in the area.
-delaying the time to go home and face a few angry parents .- he clarified, apart from my memories tell me that I behaved like a fool last night .- And you? Doing shopping after the killing? "Something
well .- acknowledges with a shrug .- Denia birthday in a week and wanted to have the gift already purchased.
Her birthday ... I had completely forgotten.
guess considering that this is the first year that we are friends is normal that he has not had much in mind. Although now that I know I want to buy something.
"With all this is normal. How are you? Does it hurt much? - Ask me, letting his eyes roam the map blue bruises on my face there.
"I thought it would be worse, the truth is that we only feel when I smile. And as I have many reasons to do it, does not hurt .- reasoned, starting walking at his side.
- What kind of generation are you? "Eighteen years old and you are bitter? - Ironically, frowning .- I wish I could reward for all that you passed.
"They managed to make new friends and deepen the .- had already observed, trying to sound lively .- I do not know, the damage is done. All they can do is give us and let us live vaccines. Most of us go in a few months.
- Is not you intend to stay here, "asks while looking at me a little uncomfortable.
-not endure another year in this hell. Evansville is overwhelming.
"You can be who you really are .- sentence, staring at the gray sky .- So I left the capital.
- What do you mean? "I ask, pausing with curiosity.
"If you do not meet the stereotypes will create a problem for your family. So you have to be polite until you can go to a place where you can be like want to be .- respond, leaving me with more questions than before.
Turn your head to look at me and smiles.
-Uhm ... I guess you're right .- whisper, completely baffled.
- Do you feel the same?
I do not know what to say. I've never raised. Proves to be ... who I am. Although I have to admit that I have never publicly expressed my doubts about what I'm attracted. But I'm not sure why I did it.
I do not know .- admit.
"If you do not, something is wrong .- follows, raising an eyebrow as he starts again .- Were you home or still going to delay it a couple of hours?
"No, I was at my house. Do you?
"Yes, I'm exhausted after last night and I should wear to school. I lose a lot of classes .- casually explains the old topic of discussion .- Do you know what they're doing now that you have no forest left to watch the new ones?
I do not know. Today a girl has undergone the first processing and I have no idea where they have taken. And they will tell me later. I have to digress here .- informed him, pointing to the wide street leading to my house.
"Oh, perfect. I'll go there. Hey, one thing .- stops me before I go away .- Do you feel like we hang out tomorrow? For the gift of my sister, I can help you choose one. In case you want to buy .- specify at my surprised face.
"Yes ... of course, would be perfect. I could use a little help. Got my phone or ...?
"I ask Denia now, I send a message with the time. Until then .- goodbye, turning around to walk away with fast pace.
-bye ...
Did I just stay with Gabriel?

Day 13, 18:06
come home. Everything is the same, but it looks completely different. The apartment is the same, yet it is not. Maybe I'm crazy. Anyway I do not care, because I know I have to spend many hours here. I felt relief to see Lydia well, lying on the red couch Dylan's apartment, sleeping peacefully with Taylor at his side, is indescribable.
I will not go. I know I'm going to have to do soon, come home with Ethan, to face my mother and rest all the time who say they need. But I have a feeling that if I go around back to "normal." Because there is no forest, there a few days hiking and classes will resume. Although, of course, my father is gone. And I hope that this involves a series of changes in my life.
- What did Mom? Ethan asks me quietly, sitting on the stool beside me there.
I stop looking at my glass of water that lies flat on the countertop to make me famous to him.
"He wants us out of Evansville. There seemed be well, I should not leave her alone ...
-Nora, it is what is wrong and is an adult. You do not have your own mother responsabilizare only when you're sixteen .- chides me holding my hand with love .- Anything else?
I do not know, can not remember .- admit, trying to remember .- Yes, said something that makes no sense. Mom gave you something, a medicine or something, a drink that knew weird?
- What? "Surprised, shakes his head .- No, of course not. Why?
"He said he had given you the medicine against the possibility of giving it to someone without you noticing.
- How? When?-Repeated, puzzled .- It is impossible, I have not been home.
Think, do not think I have mentido. "he pressed. Squinting
and silent for a few seconds, keeping in suspense during that time.
-only drank water at home. I was a bad day, but I think ...
- Did you get bad after drinking water? Did you gave Mom? "I interrupt.
"Yes, she offered me a glass and then I spent a few days ill .- acknowledged .- Do you think that was?
- You sounded the vessel or was it water?
"It was a new jar.
We looked for a while. How could naive?
- Damn it! "He exclaims, leaping up and dragging the stool back loud .- How can I not noticed?! It is not fair, dammit! What about the others?!
-Ethan, calla. "he ordered, starting up and pointing to his head Lydia .- Think about it, unless one can get. It's a good thing just because you have cheated.
- What?
Dylan comes to us, clearly keeping the distance with me.
"I'll call my brother Scott .- decide, ignoring him while running down the hall and locked in a room. I think
the only way you will have to reassure be mediated by Adriana. Sometimes I think I should have been the older sister and not him. Only sometimes.
Dylan turns to me questioningly, waiting for me to satisfy your curiosity. Taking it easy, I stand across the counter and open the fridge, hoping to find anything to eat. I have not eaten since breakfast and I'm hungry.
"My mother gave the vaccine against infection without noticing. He is furious .- answer without worrying too much, pursing his lips when I realized that the fridge is practically empty. There is only raspberry juice .- Remember me show you to do the weekly shopping.
- He can not infect anyone? "Mary was right?" Is concerned, ignoring my last comment.
-Ethan was sick a few days after drinking water from a pitcher who gave it new. I think it's more than obvious .- replied, opening a cupboard and looking at something so appealing: a packet of chocolate biscuits.
"In the background is good that one of us is not dangerous .- says.
"That I told myself, but do not hear .- I get on tiptoe trying to reach the shelf where my prey, but this house seems designed for giants and there is no way to get it .- ...
Hell-No 're foul-mouthed .- Dylan rebuke me, stretching his arm and picking up the box without problems .- Just give me what I ask.
"Thanks .- smile, accepting cookies .- I left your sweatshirt at home.
"Never mind, it's all yours .- decide, outlining what appears to be a friendly smile before departing to sit on the stool before Ethan was busy .- Do you want a ride home? Here you can not do much.
glanced at Lydia. Taylor remains deeply asleep and has not budged on their side, not even been troubled by the cries of his friend.
"I guess I'll go with Ethan .- whisper, taking a bite of the first cookie. It tastes like butter .- Now go recovering the "normal."
"Oh ... - weaves his hands on the counter and start playing with your fingers. He is so focused on it I start to feel the temptation to make me the same thing. Maybe it's a good hobby .- Tomorrow going to do something?
The question surprises me. Not only because it has almost meaningless, but because I was too focused on the movement of their fingers.
"Well ... I have not thought anything. I have no plans. Why? - I hope carefully, fixing my eyes on hers, which I avoid at all costs.
"We could do something .- said quietly so no one else that I hear.
raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. Any appointment? Is that what you mean? I can not believe I've changed my mind so quickly. Twenty-four hours ago I made it clear that he was unwilling to confront their personal demons as ours.
- Anything?
"Yes ... well, if not tomorrow, the other or ... ever, like you see .- repeats, sounding somewhat angry at my questions.
"No, of course. I guess so we could do something .- I reply, still not very concise on purpose.
- So?
"You say.
We sat in silence. This is too weird for them.
"I happened to look at five. Be prepared .- decide, joining and leaving the hall before it can go against.
I get up with the intention to follow him and reject his offer, feeling offended by the way it has been assumed that I liked the plan, but even before it reaches across the room, Taylor stops me. This is the first time you hear about all day.
"Sorry, Nora .- apologizes, sitting on the ground that is beside the couch where she lies Lydia.
His sad eyes look at me before going back down to the carpet. Just drop my friend's hand, which surprised me.
- What? Why? - I know, approaching to sit at his side.
is the first time one of my friends has a boyfriend and if I'm honest, I have no idea how I should behave. Taylor partly because my friend and no longer the guy I know of a lifetime. The change of role that we have given to me is making it difficult to assimilate.
"I should not have left her alone, I should have realized that was wrong.
"Oh, come on, Taylor. Do you really think that this is your fault? In any case, I would have fixed me. But we've all had so much trouble these days than even she realized that the bite could be something else.
raise my head and see the blue stick it has on the forearm. When that bug would sting him?
"Yeah, but still ... Right at the start and everything goes wrong.
"No, not going, Taylor .- reassure him, pressing his hand gently .- Lydia called to tell me everything that was why he was talking to me when she fainted. Without you, if what happened had happened and what made it so very happy, would not have been on the phone. We had not found until the evening .- I explain as if it were a small child.
- Have you told? - Asked, blushing suddenly.
Although the situation is too serious to do so, I laugh at his reaction.
- Why did not I? Told us all! It was I who told him that you liked. The really stupid was not even noticed. What a pair you would be if we had not intervened the other .- kidding, trying to encourage him and getting it slowly.
- And how do you know?
-Ethan told me in an attempt to appease my anger when I realized that I was hiding many secrets. Apparently you used to tell me what's not Adriana.
Taylor drops a soft laugh to hear that, not offended by what his friend.
"It's a dream come true .- acknowledges, rising serious again .- I know it's hard to understand why they liked me so very much without even knowing me, but ... he has no explanation, things like that ... do not, simply.
"I am delighted by the two, really .- .- I wish we could all admit to have sex like you have just started.
- Why did you say? "Is concerned, turning his head toward me.
That last phrase has sounded too melancholy to pass it off as an innocent comment. I can not venture to confess to him too. Moreover, I know I have to warn Lydia to not tell anything about what happened with Dylan.
-guy mistook our friendship with something else. I feel bad for him .- tion, referring to Darren.
"Poor, was due to take a good stick .- says with a smile on her face .- We all get our moment in this topic. Do not worry.
-back .- I do not lie, hoping that the talk is over once.
I still feel uncomfortable with all that Dylan heard my conversation with Lydia. Much as I do not really like habérsela offered so easily. Nevertheless, I still have things that I have not said and that I keep forever in my heart.
- Do you know? I apetecerĂa we return to attempt an exit or something. Dylan without being spoiled, of course.
"It was only his fault .- excuse him, feeling responsible, in part, of its bad reputation .- I was also a bit sensitive and ... well, never mind. But of course we can try again the four. With Ivy, of course.
The desire has to fall well do you feel a certain fondness for him. It seems as if he were striving to be the perfect boyfriend who gets along with his girl friend.
.- "It seems perfect sentence with something more in the mood, turning back to the couch to catch Lydia's hand in hers .- I hope you wake up soon. I need to tell me that's fine.
"It's loud and crazy, certainly seems very" fashionable "to be infected and could be a wolf. We find the plus side with his sense of humor .- I promise, starting up to return to the kitchen for my cookies.
The situation is very stressful or difficult, but my hunger is still worse than her. Taylor
