Cold (chpt 6)

Doug's P.O.V
I laid there... blushing as I looked at the sleeping boy. "He's so cute..." I thought to myself. Ben turned in his sleep then opened his eye slowly. "ugh...huh?...D-Doug?" Ben looked up at me with sleepy eyes. "Yeah?" I answered not really for sure if he was even really awake. Ben sat up in the bed, silent. "You... ok?" I asked as I put my hand on his shoulder. Ben's body shook. He was hot. "B-Ben...? Are you feeling alright." I softly wonder. Ben nodded slightly and turned to look at me. "I feel... weak." Ben murmured. I stared at the sickly boy. "Ben you don't look to well." I placed my hand softly on the side of his face. Ben smiled slightly then his smile faded. I felt helpless. I didn't know what to do. "Ben... you're not ok. I know that. Whats wrong?" I focused on the boy's strange shakes. I slowly wrapped my arms around the feverish boy. "Ben...please say something... you're scaring me..." I held onto the boy softly. He buried his face into my neck. "I_ I really don't know whats wrong with me. I just feel...weak... and weird." he whispered softly. "Oh god Ben..." I frowned and held onto him tightly. Ben pulled away from me. I stared silently at the boy. "Doug... I think something is wrong..." Ben began to breath heavily. "Ben! Come on Ben, You need to breathe!" I commanded the boy. He laid back down onto the bed and buried his face into a pillow. He began to cough heavily. "Ben you're going to smuther yourself. Please get up." I grabbed the boy's shoulders and pulled him up. He was turned away from me. I looked at the pillow he was laying on. It was covered in blood. I made the boy turn around and look at me. Blood was seeping from his nose and mouth. "Oh god! Ben? Are you ok? Ben please answer me." I stared into Ben's blank expression. Ben's lips quivered. "I-I.....I d-don't know.... I- I- f...feel s-sick...." Ben stuttered. I left the room to get some medicine and a small towel. I returned to the room. Ben laid on his side, shaking. I took the small towel and clean the blood from his pale face. I then gave the boy the medicine, hopping that it would help him. "Ben...please be ok..." I whispered as tears began to fill my eyes. "P-Please.... d-don't- don't cry..." Ben's voice was weak. I pushed my fingers through his hair. "I just wish I knew what was wrong...so that I could try and help... I-....I just don't understand whats happening to you..." I stared at the floor and allowed the tears to stroll down my face. The boy took his hands and cupped my face. "Stop. Please... I'll be ok. I-I will. The medicine, it'll make me better. Everything will be o-ok." Ben stared sadly into my eyes. I had began to speak when my eyes caught onto the window. "Oh...man." I frowned. Ben looked back at the window. "W-What is it?" Ben focused back on me. "The generators we have to run the electricity here won't last out there in that weather. If they go out we won't have electricity meaning we'll all freeze to death..." I frowned only knowing it was the truth. Ben shook his head. "M-maybe they won't go out or maybe the storm will end soon." Ben looked back out the window out into the cold darken storm. I opened my mouth but I didn't know what to say. The lights flickered. "No no no no!" Ben began to panic. "Ben calm down. Ben please calm down." I grabbed the boy's arms softly. He began to breath heavily again. "Ben you need to calm down and breath." I tried to calm the boy, but it wasn't working. Ben's nose began to bleed again and he was breathing really hard. "Doug..." Ben started to speak. The lights went out.  It was dark... and getting cold by the second. "I'm scared...."
