The dusk rising as me and Mitch's sobs echoed across the camp as the others stirred awake I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Snapping my head towards the movement I saw Rob pacing our way, worried.

"Preston you OK?!?" Rob asked  panicking and I smiled feeling better knowing that he cared .

"Yeah I'm fine... Something bothering me... I..." I  choked out cupping my hands in my face as Mitch whimpered sadly. Rob kneeling down he wrapped an arm around my back comfortingly.

"Please... One of you... Tell me what's wrong..." Rob begged and I hiccupped earning a fan girl face from Rob.....

"I..... I....... I'm not going to live as long as I thought...... I die in December...." I cried out, Rob immediately pulling me into his arms, his body raking from the tears he tried holding back.

Gripping the back of my shirt tightly. Mitch got up, walking away emotionless while I stayed with Rob for as while... Realization hitting me square in the chest.....

"I am so sorry Preston...." Rob breathed out, pulling away from the hug gazing at me with teary eyes.... Guilt smacking across my mind I sighed looking down at the grass.

"You shouldn't be...." I whispered doubt consuming me.

"Preston don't say that! I am sorry!" Rob snapped at me

"Why?..." I questioned looking at him earning an enraged look from Rob.

"BECAUSE I SHOT YOU!!!!" Rob yelled, tears pouring down his cheeks. Jolting upwards so he couldn't grab me I sat down in the fire, setting myself on fire as well earning a fearful look from Rob giving me my opportunity to speak.

"That doesn't matter to me..." I squeaked out sadly.

"SO YOU'RE SAYING IT WAS COMPLETELY FINE I SHOT YOU?!?!" Rob shouted. Flinching at his shouts I nodded earning a huff of air from Rob... anger consuming him as I raised my hand motioning for him to be quiet.

"Rob listen... I told you this before, as long as you're safe I'm happy... It wasn't you that got shot, I was, so I am happy.. Even if you were the one who shot me... Same if it were Mitch and Jerome... No one wants to take the blame... So I do it for you...." I speeched and his face softened,

Tears pricking at his eyes as he gazed at me, the fire dancing around my legs,  ambers tickling my toes and sparks gliding through my hair not catching on fire...

"But I'm not happy right now Preston...." Rob choked out,

His tears trickling down his face and dripping down his chin, onto the tear stained floor. Looking at the fire below me, the heat burning away my tears. I tensed when I felt a pain jolt through my arm....

Not again.....
