Not 'till it's over

Blake
I shook my head, thinking of my weird...ability. "No idea," I replied. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Arlo fall and then painfully get back up. "Shit," I muttered. I got up and rushed over to him. "You alright, man?" I asked.

Chelsea: His face was getting paler and paler by the minute, and his voice gave away his pain. "You don't look fine. You don't have to be strong for me, I'm here to help you, remember?" My voice trailed off in the middle, but came back by the end. I hated it when people tried to put on a brave face, tried to act as if nothing was wrong. That's what all my friends had done, and look: now I had none.

Arlo: I smirked. "Sort of. I'll be good." I said, hoping she'd chill. "I always fall, though never this bad, but I have a feeling I'll deal." I grinned, trying to be optomistic.

Ronnie: I watched as Blake got up and rushed over to Arlo. I hadn't noticed that they were here together. Maybe Arlo was her boyfriend, and that was why she'd hardly responded to my flirting. Ah, well, there wasn't much I could do about that; I wasn't the type to steal someone else's girl. I stood up and went to see what had happened.

((Who was that to?))

"You're so clummsy," I muttered.

Arlo: "I know. That's why ya love me." I grinned. Loved my like a brother, just to make that clear. Get your minds out of the gutter, people.

Blake
I chuckled. "Don't get a big head." But he was right. I did love him like a brother. He was the closest family I had...I winced when my thoughts went back to that one night....the night my life change.... How cliche of you Blake, I thought.

Ronnie: So they were a couple, I thought. Well, then I guess I should definitely back off. Like I said, I wasn't one to steal other people's girlfriends.

(Yes, you both said that it was brotherly love, but Ronnie doesn't know that

Arlo: "I have a big head with out you." I said and then a tremor went up my leg. "Oh, um, to the cave." I said, my jaw trembling.

Blake
"You're so messed up, Arlo," I said with a smile. We walked a little further until we were at the entrance to the cave. "Home sweet home, " I muttered.

Arlo: I shot her a look and hobbled into the cave, flopping over onto a pile of leaves and soft moss. "Ugh." I groaned and ulled up my pant led, past my knee. I unwrapped it and grimaced. The cut was down to the bone, crusting around the edges and the skin around was an odd yellow color. I adverted my eyes and sighed. "Do we have anything to clean it with? I asked desperately.

Blake
I shook my head. "Just the water from before." I shook the almost empty canteen.

Chelsea: I almost gagged, seeing Arlo's leg, but I suppressed it. If he had drunken the medicine, it would have been all better by now. Instead his leg was cut down to the bone. Not that I hadn't seen wounds that bad before but... I felt woozy and sat down just inside the cave's entrance.

Arlo: "Let it rot." I said, shaking my head.

Blake
I didn't like that idea one bit. Turning towards Chelsea, I said, "If that liquid crap kills him, I swear to you that you'll be right besides him in his grave."

Arlo: "Wait! There's no way in hell I'm going to drink that crap!" I said, trying to back away. My back met with the wall of the cave.

Blake
"Alright...so...be in pain 24/7 or experiment with a weird looking liquid.... C'mon Arlo, be a man," I half joked.

Chelsea: "Here." I tossed the vial to Blake, too queasy to look up.

Blake
I caught the bottle and walked over to Arlo, unscrewing the lid.

Arlo: "No!" I whined a little. "I don't wanna!" I said and frowned.

Blake
I rolled my eyes. "Really, Arlo? Suck it up. You've been in worse situations."

Arlo: I frowned and then my face broke. "Fine, but only because I don't think you could survive alone." i grinned and took a drink of the liquid. It had no flavor, so it was easy to drink. "How long until it works?" i asked.

Blake
I sighed and sat down again. I squeezed my eyes shut before opening them and looking for Ronnie.
