Bleeding out

A/N
This story has been on my mind for months and I finally could write it down. I have already wrote it in a notepad and I will have the story both here on Wattpad and on my AO3 account. This story is pretty sad and it could be some triggers. I hope that you will enjoy it and the chapters will be pretty long. Enjoy!

Thomas thought that this was going to be a totally normal day, he should go to work, come home, make some dinner and go to sleep. His life wasn't complicated and he enjoyed living it. He was 23 years old and worked as a paramedic. He had always liked to help people so it was nice to have that interest as a job. But now his work had been a bit more frustrated and sad. A new virus without a cure had been infecting people, mostly young, around 15-25 years old. The virus was called 'the flare' and the symptoms were a huge headache, hallucinations, trembling hands, pale skin, insomnia, seizures, pain in every limb in you're body, extreme weakness and eating problems.
When it gets too much the infected person dies.

Many scientists had been trying to find a cure and what Thomas knew, they were really close. Thomas was actually one of the few people in the world that actually was immune to the flare. He could never be infected or sick, which means that he had no problems taking care of the infected people at work.

Thomas was walking down the street. He was on his way to work and the early morning sun shined down on his brown hair. It was June and Thomas was wearing a light sweater. He had a shoulder bag with his computer and work clothes in. He was listening to music from his headphones and right now, the song that were playing was "numbers" by "the cab."He liked that song. It made him feel like he would find that person that he could call his soulmate.
Thomas had just come to the chorus of the song when he suddenly heard a quiet sob. Thomas took quickly away his headphones from his ear and stopped. He had been walking trough the park that were right next to the hospital. Thomas looked around himself and suddenly, he heard it again. He heard the sob but this time, it was a whimper after. Thomas slowly started to walk to where the sound came from. The sound came from behind a couple of bushes. Thomas slowly looked down behind them and he gasped when he saw a boy sitting there.
The boy had a black jacket and skinny jeans. His head were covered by dirty blond hair and he held his hands in his face, sobbing and crying in them.

" Hello?" Thomas said. The blond boy jumped a little at his voice and when he took a way his hands from his face, Thomas could see that the boy had beautiful chocolate brown eyes and the boys skin was really pale. The boy's hands was trembling  and his deep brown eyes showed how frightened the boy was.

" Hi?" Thomas said again and took another step forward to the stranger. The blond boy flinched when when Thomas came closer and he dragged up his knees to his chest.

" I'm not dangerous," Thomas said and crouched down to the blond.

" P-please d-don't take m-me back," The boy suddenly said and his voice was trembling. Thomas could hear that the boy had a thick British accent.
" Where did you came from?" Thomas asked and tilted his head. The blond boy looked at Thomas with teary eyes and he let another stream of tears out from his eyes. " The hospital," he said . Thomas studied the boy closely and saw the bags under his eyes and how his skin were in a sickly white color. He looked sick.

" What's you're disease?" Thomas asked .

" I...I uhm...I have the f-flare," The blond said. Thomas stares at the beautiful blond boy and realized that he hated the flare, this boy couldn't been older than Thomas.

" In which stage?" Thomas asked. In the flare virus it was four stages. The first stage is that you get more tired and you're muscles hurts a lot. You can get a huge headache and you're hands can be trembling a lot. The second stage is eating disorders and insomnia. The third stage is voices in your head and hallucinations. You will also get really weak and exhausted. The last stage is pain in every limb in you're body. The patients can also have seizures and sometimes they can be vomiting blood. Many patients died only a couple of hours after they got to the forth stage. It was too painful. Thomas was still haunted by the screams from the patients and the way their eyes looked like they were going too fall out from their eye sockets, it looked awful.
