POV CHANGE
PHILIP'S POV

Heather was asleep now. She wasn't going to die anymore, but someone did have to watch her constantly, just to make sure she wasn't going to be in any more danger. Lily had stabbed her, and no one can figure out why. Lily's currently in the side of the room, crying hysterically, and she won't talk to anyone, not even her brother. Henry had volunteered to be the one to keep watch of Heather. Maybe he just feels bad about what his sister did to her, because he's been even more protective over her, and he seemed even more upset than the rest of us when her heart gave out. He was shouting for her, and was in hysterics. We're so lucky Heather stayed awake, Angie said that if she'd have fallen asleep, we might have lost her. I looked over at Chris, who had a pale, greenish colored face, and was obviously in distress. I walked over to her, trying to ingnore the breaking and cracked skin, that littered my body. I put my hand on the back of her head, and put her head leaning into my chest, giving her a hug.

I whispered, "Just follow my breathing, listen to my heart beat."

"I'm scared, Philip. What if someone else goes, what if you do? Please don't leave me, I can't do this alone," my heart did a somersault, and I closed my eyes, lightly rocking Chris back and forth.

"I'm not going anywhere. Hear my heart? It's beating, and it's not going to stop until we're out of here and you're safe, okay?" She sniffled in response to my questions, and I looked down at her, resting my head on hers.

"But, you c-can't die trying to s-save me."

"I'm not saying I'm going to, I'm saying I'm willing to, because you're worth it, and I'd rather die, seeing you alive, than let you die, or get hurt because I couldn't save you."

She nuzzled her head deeper into my chest, I could feel her tears soaking through my shirt. I loved Chris more than anything else in the world, and I couldn't let anything bad happen to her, not while I was here, and I'd make sure if I died, someone else could keep her safe. I knew Chris didn't love me the same way I loved her, but that didn't matter much to me, as long as she was safe, and happy, I'd be happy.

Whatever this guy was doing to make Lily want to kill Heather, and whatever he wanted that made him kill Jenny, Poppy, and Madeline, I wasn't going to let him kill Chris, or any of my other friends, and none of us were going down without a fight.
