Episode eight - "Jellyfish"
Previously on Survivor at Sanchez, the tribe was more relaxed with Lesley gone, ["It's the funniest thing, but as soon as Lesley's gone, Hell doesn't seem real anymore, in fact, Hell? What the hell?" - Ashley Confessional] And Ashley decided it was safe for her to rekindle her relationship with Stacy, only to find out that there no longer was a relationship [Okay, something's totally wrong here. It's like the sparks are totally gone, a few days ago, I thought Stacy was just this amazing person, but now, hmm, meh" - Ashley confessional] Not wanting to hurt Stacy's feelings, Ashley decided to talk with Dolly, who she was beginning to have feelings for. ["That? That was just weird, was she? Flirting with me? I've never been so attracted to anyone, as I am to Ashley right now, she's like a drug or something, once you're with her, you can't get enough of her, not that I know, I've never done drugs. But at the same time, I feel bad for Stacy; she's way more attractive then me, and I thought her and Ashley were so good together. " - Dolly confessional] Stacy sensed something was going on, and did not like the looks of it. [I am not blind or deaf, I can see and hear exactly what's going on, Ashley's tired of me" - Stacy confessional] Though she no longer had feelings for Stacy, Ashley was practically on her knees begging her to be her friend again. Stacy decided to give her one more chance, and they made up. [Ashley can make herself look so convincing. And I hate that about her." - Stacy confessional]
At Perez Yauman was concerned about the tribe's group dynamics. ["I can't stand seeing my tribe like this. They've just all been sulking around, I don't want to be nosy or anything, but I want to know what's going on, and I think the best way, would be if we all sat around and talked about what's bothering everyone, we haven't really talked like that since Wanda was here, and I think it's time we start that again." - Yauman confessional] He decided to get the group together, and have a meeting so they could talk about their problems, unfortunately his idea did not go over well at all. For the reward and immunity challenge, the tribes received the news that they were to get a special reward, (a trip to the Belizean market) and in other news both tribes were going to tribal council.
For the first time in a long time, Sanchez won both the reward and the immunity. At Perez Erick's health continued to falter, ["When I said I was going to puke my guts out, I didn't actually mean literally, but I think I pretty much puked my guts out, my stomach, kidneys, intestines you name it, pretty much everything, so now my insides hurt just as much as everything else." - Erick confessional] And Jaime continued to worry. ["I can't ever get a moment alone. Jaime just about always finds me anywhere," - Erick confessional]
At the reward, Ashley was having the time of her life ["I just love everything about the Belizean Market, every time I see anything I'm all' I've got to have this'" - Ashley confessional ] And decided to have some fun, by stealing some white powder ["Well what do you know? "It's written in Spanish, oh well you'd have to be a total idiot not to know what this is. Drugs. I'm going to have some fun tonight. "Par - Tay!" - Ashley confessional] as the Sanchez tribe was getting ready to leave, Dolly noticed something was troubling Ashley. Ashley promised she'd tell Dolly everything as soon as they got back to camp, and Dolly promised to keep it a secret.
When they returned to camp, Ashley was true to her word, and showed Dolly what she had stolen. Ashley got high off the fumes and her feelings for Dolly spilled out. Unfortunately Stacy caught them in the act, and decided she never wanted to see Ashley again. Ashley, unable to deal with the pain decided she needed to take more, but felt she couldn't get enough, and ended up over dosing, [Now that's more like it I think I know what I overdosed on now. They're crushed up happy pills. Happy pills, they're pills that are happy. Now, I can't even remember what I was unhappy about in the first place." - Ashley confessional] At Perez everyone was spectacle about going to tribal council. ["No one likes going to tribal council, well I guess duh, who would? I know Jaime and Dave are going to want to vote me out so I'm definitely on the chopping block. I don't really think anyone's safe here." - Peih Gee confessional]
Courtney was looking forward to getting rid of Christa, and convinced a few other people to vote with her. ["I can not believe I'm hearing this, I vowed not to be the pariah this season, and look what's happened, I make one tiny mistake, and I'm hated. Courtney's somehow convincing everyone that I'm a mean girl."] At Perez's tribal council, Courtney's plan worked and Christa became the 7th person voted out of Survivor Mexico. Once Christa was gone, Perez was asked to sit in on Sanchez's tribal council. Ashley was acting suspiciously as if she were on drugs, but Stacy was convinced that she was faking it, so she wouldn't have to admit she did something bad. Ashley became the 8th person voted out of Survivor Mexico. 10 are left who will be voted out tonight?
Theme song order: Sanchez: Brady, Todd, Stacy, Lesley, Dolly, Osten, Rocky, Ashley, Greg, Perez Jaime, Wanda, Erick, Courtney, Frosti, Dave, Peih Gee, Yauman, Christa
"That hike to tribal council" Erick said in a confessional, "practically killed me," He yawned furiously "Well on the bright side, I'm not so sure if this even is a bright side or not but anyway, I'm not quite dead yet, I guess you'd say I'm undead, I keep telling myself it's nothing, and keep telling myself that it's going to be fine but every millisecond, it seems to keep becoming less and less nothing."
He yawned continuously.
"Erick um you okay?" Peih Gee asked, "I mean you've been doing like an unusual amount of yawning just now."
"Okay" Peih Gee said in a confessional, "I feel a bit guilty about this right now, but my fist instinct was to scream at the top of my lungs 'STOP YAWNING' it's contagious, but that would be kind of mean, because there's obviously something wrong with Erick, so he probably can't help it. I don't think it's in any way shape or form normal to be yawning that much. I mean all he did was hike to tribal council, we all did and we're not that tired out from it."
"I'm just a kind of tired" Erick said, and yawned again.
"I can tell" Peih Gee said "Under statement of the year." She bit down on her lip "I'm sorry I guess I'm just kind of worried about you." She said lamely
"Will you stop worrying?" Dave said sounding annoyed, "It's really obnoxious." "What aren't you worried?" Peih Gee asked, "Of course I'm worried, I mean Erick has been showing all the classic signs of sickness, he's pale, his breathing sounds crackly, the whole works. He probably just has a bug, but you never know it could be something more serious."
"A bug" Peih Gee repeated, "Well you know something? You bug, I mean seriously" She continued, "it's like perfectly fine for you to be worried, but if I'm worried it's really obnoxious? That's pretty retarded."
"Well it is obnoxious" Jaime agreed.
"Yeah?" Peih Gee asked, "Why is it only obnoxious when I worry?" She repeated.
"I don't know" Dave said, "Probably because you're Peih Gee."
"That's you're best insult? My GOD I am just so insulted right now, how dare you say something so mean about me?" Peih Gee asked rolling her eyes. "What is that implying anyway?"
"That you're obnoxious DUH!"
"You guys don't need to worry about anything." Erick said, "I'm fine." Jaime rolled her eyes and sighed at the same time.
"I am so sick of hearing 'I'm fine'" Jaime said in a confessional, "Erick and I are going to have a serious talk about that"
"Erick can I talk to you?" She asked.
"Not right now" Erick said, "I'm going to sleep"
Jaime crossed her arms over her chest. "How rude" she sulked in a confessional. "I know everyone says Erick's this really nice person who's incapable of being mean, but let me tell you something, he is SO passive aggressive it's not funny. It's not fair! He just finds every excuse he can think of not to talk to me, well one of these days Erick, one of these days, you're going to run out of excuses."
Jaime wrung her hands furiously. "I think I might know what the problem is" Jaime said in a hushed voice. Her eyes were swimming with %%##@. "I think Erick might have" Her voice became even quieter. "I think he might have the C word"
"Okay" Dave said, "That, that was just not nice, I know Erick can be a bit of a wuss sometimes, but he certainly does not have the C word, and besides that's completely irrelevant."
"I meant Cancer you pervert" Jaime hissed. "I can't believe you're so stupid"
"Oooh" Dave said, "That C word" His eyes suddenly widened. "Oh my god I hope not"
"I'm sorry" Jaime said, "I'm probably just over reacting, but honestly, how can I not over react?"
Erick was wide awake and could hear what was being said, "I know they're trying to speak quietly" He said in a confessional, "But I can hear them whispering, and it's making me really uncomfortable, I wish they'd stop. I realize that some time I'm going to have to talk to Jaime about all of this, I can't hide from her forever."
Since the Sanchez tribe had returned to their camp, none of them had said a word to each other.
"I can't take this uncomfortable silence" Dolly said in a confessional, "I know that both Stacy and Brady have good reason to be mad at me, I shouldn't have let Ashley lead me on like that, but still it hurts just as bad." %%##@ ran down her cheeks. "If I have to take anymore of this" She continued, "I might as well just give up, just.........quit"
Dolly tried to strike up a conversation. "So it's dark out isn't it" She said lamely.
"It's dark out isn't it?" She said in a confessional, "Pathetic! Just pathetic, why is it that I always end up saying such stupid things? Of course it's dark out, its night time."
"Good observation Blondie" Stacy said coldly. Dolly tried again.
"Look you guys" She said, her voice was quivering. "I'm really sorry about what happened with Ashley, I don't even like her, in that way I mean." Brady and Stacy both said nothing.
"It's like I'm talking to a wall" Dolly said in a confessional, "Come on people say something, anything would be nice, anything."
"Dolly can keep playing innocent if she wants to" Stacy said in a confessional, "She can grovel at my knees begging for forgiveness, but I'm not going to forgive her. Ever. If she apparently doesn't even 'like' Ashley in that way, than why the hell didn't she try to stop her? Why the hell?" Stacy's voice broke off, and she began crying again.
"You need to stop talking bullshit" Stacy said finally breaking the silence, "We know you like Ashley in that way, you enjoyed every bit of that."
"Wh'what was I supposed to do?" Dolly stammered, "I couldn't get her off of me"
"Bullshit" Stacy said again.
Dolly looked towards Brady for support. "I really wished you would have told me Dolly" He said sounding hurt.
"Told you what?" Dolly asked sounding genuinely confused.
"That you were having these feelings" Brady said, "I would have totally understood."
"You would have?" Dolly asked her eyes watery. "If you told me, yes, but you didn't, I thought we told each other everything."
"I'm sorry" Dolly said looking down at the ground. "But honestly, I didn't know I had those feelings for Ashley, I honestly didn't know."
"Forget it" Brady said huffily, "I'm going to bed we have a big day ahead of us."
"I thought for sure Brady would have taken my side on this" Dolly said in a confessional, "Well, idiot me. I don't have any allies anymore, if we don't merge soon, I'm going to go crazy, we better merge soon."
Erick awoke once again to find Jaime staring at him. "She has got to give that up" He said in a confessional, "I can't stand to see her lose sleep over me, and for another thing, I know she's been planning on our conversation all night and I am not looking forward to having it."
"Hi" Jaime said, curtly. "So can we talk now?" Erick tried to think of an excuse, "Um" He said, "Actually, I was going to sleep in a little more."
Jaime groaned loudly.
"Let me tell you" She said in a confessional, "I am so frustrated right now, I am in %%##@. I just want to sink my teeth into something, to slap something, to throw something, I want to lie on the ground and kick my feet and bang my fists and have a tantrum. Seriously that's how frustrated I am right now, get the picture?"
"We got tree mail" Frosti announced. Erick slowly came out of the shelter.
"I want to tear that tree mail into shreds" Jaime continued in her confessional. "It says we're merging" Frosti read, everyone cheered "and also it also says that we're neither staying at our camp or the Sanchez camp, we have a new campsite all together, it looks like we got directions."
"I am so not up for paddling to a new camp" Erick said in a confessional, %%##@ rolled down his cheeks. "It's really selfish for me to be mad at Jeff for this because how was he supposed to know that paddling five miles to a new camp was out of the question for me, but well I am kind of mad at Jeff."
Meanwhile Sanchez had also gotten the news of the merge. "I am so relieved" Dolly said in a confessional, "This could be like a whole new beginning for me, what I'm not looking forward to is, paddling 5 miles to our new camp site with two people who basically aren't talking to me."
"Welcome to you're new camp everyone" Jeff announced as the tribes met. "Drop your buffs everyone" He said, "Sanchez and Perez are no more, you now get dark purple buffs, I have left you a basket of goodies, enjoy and I'll see you at the next challenge."
"It's the weirdest thing" Dolly said in a confessional, "No one seems at all enthusiastic about the merge. I expected everyone would be happy, but right now, I have no idea why I expected that."
"So this is a nice camp site, don't you guys think?" Dolly asked biting her finger nail.
"It's okay I guess" Jaime scoffed. "Something wrong?" Dolly asked. "I'm sorry that's kind of a stupid question."
"You probably wouldn't understand" Jaime said tightly. "Have you seen Erick anywhere?"
Dolly looked around, "I think he's on the beach, why?"
"I don't know" Jaime said, "Maybe because, I REALLY need to talk to him about something, I mean it's really important."
"You can talk to me about it" Dolly said lamely. "No honey, mmm, mmm" Jaime scoffed. With that stomped away.
"Hey!" She said sitting down next to Erick. "I hope you haven't forgotten that I need to talk to you." She said. "Actually" Erick said, "I was kind of hoping you forgot."
"Nice try" Jaime scoffed.
"Could it wait?" Erick asked, "I kind of want to get to know our new tribe members, don't you want to meet them?"
"I already met them, and I don't feel like meeting them again" Jaime said.
"Hey you guys" Dolly cried, "we're about to have a party"
"Can't you see we're in the middle of something?" Jaime snapped.
"A party sounds fun" Erick said, and followed Dolly.
Jaime angrily stomped her foot several times, letting sand spray everywhere. "Come on Jaime" Dolly said, "A party will cheer you up"
"God that girl is Sooooooo immature" Jaime said in a confessional, "'a party will cheer you up' what is she like five? Sooth everything over with a happy little party."
"Yeah whatever" Jaime said gritting her teeth.
"I probably should have let her talk to me" Erick said in a confessional, "By the time I'm ready for her to talk to me, she's going to be in a much worse mood."
Jaime sulkily came over to join the group. "Look at all this food we got" Dolly said, "Dig in, I can't eat it all by myself you know"
"I can't eat" Jaime said angrily. "I'm too pissed off."
"This past couple of days" Jaime said in a confessional, "I've been so worried and pissed off, that I've kind of become apatite retarded, I'd probably feel a lot better, if Erick talks to me. That is going to be a big if." With her finger she wrote a big IF in the sand.
"Let me tell you" Erick said in a confessional, "It's not fun partying when you feel like you could die any millisecond, but at least Jaime and I can both focus on other people."
Unfortunately Jaime
refused to take her eyes off Erick. "I think you're making him nervous Jaime" Dave said, "Here, have some corona."
"I said I'm not hungry" Jaime said shortly bushing the bottle away. "I mean I totally lost
my apatite because Erick's not eating anything."
"Okay" Dave said in a confessional, "That has got to be the stupidest and weirdest thing Jaime's ever said. And for another thing, why would you have to be hungry to drink Corona?"
"You do realize how stupid you sound don't you Jaime?" Dave asked.
"I don't think that sounds stupid at all" Jaime protested.
"I'll eat something" Erick said, "I just haven't decided what I want."
"I seriously can't eat" Erick said in a confessional, "not that this food doesn't look good to me, it's just that lately when I've tried to eat something, my throat closes on me, and I can't swallow. I'm really scared, what is wrong with me? Every time I try to tell myself I'm fine, I get some strange new symptom. Why is it so hard for me to tell Jaime? "
"It was kind of hard for me to decide too" Dolly said, "So I took a little bit of everything, we have chocolate, bread, fruit, creamy and crunchy peanut butter, I prefer creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanut butter has too much peanuts in it."
"Dolly" Stacy said, "Stop trying to make conversation, you're no good at it and you know it." She turned to Erick, "Here's the corona if you want it" She said, "I hate the stuff now, it's always going to make me think of Ashley, 'Corona, corona'" She rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Liquid should be safe" Erick said in a confessional, "Sure" He said "I'll take some of that."
"Here ya go" Stacy said handing it over. Erick took one sip of the beer and began coughing uncontrollably, Jaime gasped loudly.
"You okay Erick?" Stacy asked. "I should have warned you, if you drink too fast it just might go down the wrong tube." She said condescendingly.
Erick stopped coughing. "Yeah I probably shouldn't have" he said embarrassedly. Jaime looked genuinely freaked out. "I'm okay Jaime" Erick assured her, "I just choked a little bit, you've choked before right?"
"No" Jaime said crossing her arms across her chest, "Never"
"Of course you haven't" Peih Gee said rolling her eyes, "Because you're perfect in every way."
Jaime glared at Peih Gee.
"So um" Dolly said, "We haven't come up with a name for our tribe yet, does anyone have any ideas?"
No one offered any.
"Do you guys like the name Lunez, it sounds like a good Spanish word, I think it means light or something."
"Sure" Jaime said apathetically, "I don't care what our stupid tribe's name is."
"I like Lunez" Frosti volunteered. No one else protested.
Jaime gave Erick a quick nudge, "Okay" She said, "No more excuses we NEED to talk right now."
"We got tree mail" Yauman announced.
"Never have those words sounded so soothing to me, it's like orange juice to the ear in fact" Erick said in a confessional, "I was running out of excuses, but this time I have a good one."
"It says we have our first individual reward challenge" Yauman read, "For this challenge we get to compete in a wrestling match the way the Aztec's did long ago."
"Not the Aztec's again" Courtney said rolling her eyes.
"I am not looking forward to this challenge." Erick said in a confessional, "I know I've been saying that about pretty much every challenge lately, but this one sounds worse than most of them. But at least I can hold off the dreaded conversation with Jaime for a bit longer."
Jaime cleared her throat, and motioned for Erick to come over. "We have the challenge now" He said and followed the rest of the group. Jaime grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back ward. "Oh no you don't" She said.
"Okay spill" She snapped, "What is going on with you?"
"I don't know, probably nothing." Erick said and walked away. Jaime once again yanked him by the arm. "I've been worried sick about you, I can't eat I can't sleep, I can't think straight in the challenges, if you don't tell me what's going on, I'm seriously going to lose it. You're breaking my heart"
"Don't waste your time worrying about me, just try to have a good time" Erick said.
"How can I not worry about you? How can I try to have a good time?" She snapped, "You're really letting yourself go, you look like you could keel over and die any minute, and you don't even care, you haven't once tried to get help, you're killing yourself Erick, killing yourself, and you're killing me."
"Jaime's lecturing" Erick said in a confessional, "Is even worse than I thought, by now I'm so out of it I can't even make out what she's saying, to me it sounds like she's just saying 'blah blah blah blah blah' and a bunch of other gibberish. She's not even talking anymore, now she's just shrieking."
"Did you here what I just said?" Jaime snapped, finally sounding audible. "Yeah" Erick said, "I heard"
"Okay?" Jaime said quizzingly "Than what did I just say?"
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah" Erick said weakly. "NO!" Jaime exploded, "Just as I thought, this conversation is going right over your head." She grabbed Erick by the shoulders and began shaking him uncontrollably. "SPEAK TO ME!" She shrieked, %%##@ and snot splattered everywhere, "Look me right in the eye, and tell me everything."
"JAIME NICOLE DUGAN!!!" Erick snapped. Jaime released him at once and gave him a look of pure shock. She had never heard Erick yell at anyone.
"I'm fine" He said, switching back to his calm self. Jaime through back her head and sighed in exasperation. "NO!" She snapped, "No you're not fine!, Oh my god" She said, "We're way behind everyone, thanks a lot if I hadn't been so worried about you, and if you hadn't postponed talking to me, than this wouldn't have happened."
"I'm sorry" Erick said helplessly.
"I don't feel any better at all after this conversation" Jaime said in a confessional, "In fact now, I'm even angrier, I should have known better." She grinded her teeth.
"Glad you guys could finally make it" Jeff said, "We were just about to get to the challenge"
"Omigod" Jaime cried, "Are we really that late?" She glared at Erick. "Yes actually you are" Jeff said, "We were going to call a search party for you guys. Please don't let anything like this happen again. All right let's get to today's challenge, as you know from the tree mail, today we get to have a wrestling match, I'd like everyone to divide into teams, since we have an even number let's do men versus women."
"I'm sorry" Stacy said in a confessional, "But exactly how is this fair? The men are totally going to whip our asses, ever think of that Jeff?"
"Want to know what you're playing for?" Jeff continued, everyone nodded. "The winning team get's to spend the night at a five star hotel, let's begin"
The challenge was half way done, and Erick knew he was next. "I'm in no mood for this challenge" He said in a confessional, "I've been watching everyone and it looks really brutal, is it too late to tell Jeff I can't do this, is it too late to back out of this?"
"Erick, I'm done, it's your turn you're up man" Dave said giving him a quick nudge Erick sighed heavily. "You feeling all right man?" Dave asked. "Kind of sort of not really" Erick said under his breath. And stepped up to the plate.
"Erick meet your opponent" Jeff said. Dolly looked freaked out. "Go easy on her"
Jeff said.
"On your marks get set GO!" Jeff said. Erick could see black splotches in front of his face. He breathed heavily, before Dolly could make an attack, his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards."
"ERICK!" Jaime screeched. %%##@ spilled down her cheeks. "I didn't do anything" Dolly said guiltily. "Of course you didn't!" Jaime snapped and pushed Dolly out of the way. She knelt down next to Erick and sobbed loudly. Suddenly everyone was hovering over Erick and whispering.
"You guys" Jeff said, "Give Erick some room to breathe" Besides Jaime who was practically wailing everyone was quiet.
"I know you guys are all scared" Jeff said, "You should be, But please try not to panic."
"How could we not panic?" Jaime cried and began hyperventilating. "Jaime!" Jeff said, "Calm down, the last thing we need is another person here fainting."
"Calm down!" Jaime repeated frantically, "CALM down, calm DOWN, CALM DOWN! I don't think so Jeff"
"I know CPR!" Dolly offered shyly. She walked up to Erick. "Are you all right?" She asked shaking him, "Can you hear me? That's all I remember" She said embarrassedly.
"Thanks a lot Molly, Polly, Holly or whatever your name is!" Jaime said angrily, "You're a great help!"
"Dolly" She corrected her quietly. "My name's Dolly, I was only trying to help"
"Well do everyone a big favor and DON'T" Jaime scolded.
"It's okay you
guys" Jeff said, "It's probably nothing, maybe he's just over heated or something. We might have to hold off the challenge; in fact I think
we are going to hold off the challenge."
"Did Erick tell him to say that?" Jaime wondered in a confessional, "Seriously, did him and
Erick like have a little pep talk before this challenge, 'oh if I faint let everyone know that it's absolutely nothing, okay Jeff?'" She bit
down on her lip, so she wouldn't start crying again.
"I know" Dave suggested, "We have some water at camp" With that he took off.
"DAVE HURRY!" Jaime shrieked, than continued wailing and sobbing. "Why couldn't you have listened to me Erick?" She whispered, "I kept telling you, that you were in trouble, I kept telling you, why couldn't you have listened to me? Why, WHY?"
"Okay than" Peih Gee said in a confessional, "Erick might have something wrong with him, and what's Jaime worried about? That she [Jaime] was ignored. STFU JaiME"
"I'm back" Dave said, "How's he doing,"
"Not dead" Dolly said trying to sound optimistic. Jaime gave her a silencing look.
"This might be all the water we have left for now" Dave said in a confessional, "But I think Erick needs it" He opened up the bottle and poured it over Erick's body. Erick's eyes opened weakly.
"Are you all right Erick?" Dave asked kneeling down next to him.
Erick coughed and spat up water. "I think so" He breathed, "Where am I?"
"Why do people always ask that when they pass out?" Dolly blurted out.
"Holly or Molly, or Polly or whatever your name is." She sighed heavily "Dolly" She said grudgingly "you're done!"
"I'm just curious" Dolly said in a small voice, "I know that was a stupid thing to say right than."
Erick sat up and was sorry he did, because everything went blank.
"Don't sit up to fast!" Brady snapped. "Are you okay?" He asked "Did you black out? That's what happens when you sit up too fast."
"Yeah I'm okay" Erick said, "So um" he continued, "We should finish the challenge, shouldn't we"
"We held it off" Jeff said. "No one get's the reward."
Erick suddenly started crying. "I just felt so terrible," He said in a confessional "it sounded like a really good reward, it's not everyday when you get to stay in a five star hotel in Mexico, but now thanks to me, no one get's to. I kept telling myself I wouldn't be a burden out here, and look what's happened, I ruined everyone's reward."
"I'm sorry you guys" He said his voice trembling.
"You should be" Jaime snapped. "I know I shouldn't be so hard on him" She said in a confessional, "I mean he's obviously sick, but he really scared me just now, I don't want to sound selfish, but for a second there, I thought for sure I was going to have a heart attack."
She leaned over and slapped Erick against the face.
"JAIME!" Brady said in pure shock.
"I'm sooooooooooooooo sorry" Erick apologized, "I know how much you wanted to go on the reward."
"You think this is about the reward?" Jaime shrieked, suddenly her mood changed she threw her arms around Erick and continued sobbing.
"You really broke my heart today" She said tearfully. "I wish you would listen to me, I wish you would talk to me" she broke into yet another fit of sobs.
"I was just so scared" Jaime said in a confessional, "I'm all, 'You really broke my heart today,' and 'I wish you would listen to me, I wish you would talk to me' I was scared to death."
"You may head back to camp" Jeff said, "Erick, are you going to be all right?"
"Yeah, I guess" Erick said.
"This is a really morbid thing to say" Erick said in a confessional, "But I wish that when I fainted at that challenge, I just went in a coma and died that would have been much easier than facing the pain and the embarrassment of the whole thing. Owe, my Arthritis is killing me, oh wait I don't have Arthritis, do I? I don't remember. I hate to say this but I'm not up for walking back to camp, because well you see, too much walking."
"Poor thing" Dolly said in a confessional "I just keep looking at Erick, and I keep worrying that he's going to faint again, I can tell everyone's worried, everyone's being so quiet."
"I am uncomfortable with this silence" Erick said in a confessional, "Sounds weird coming from me, because I've been silent about this the whole time, but now that everyone's being silent about it, and to make things even worse everyone's staring at me. I want this to all end" %%##@ streamed down his cheeks.
"Our conversation went right over your head didn't it" Jaime asked Erick when they got back to camp. "You're obviously sick and you go and do the challenge, why the hell didn't you tell Jeff that you weren't feeling well?"
"I don't know why" Erick said, "I didn't want to bother him I guess"
"I'm surprised you were even thinking about bothering Jeff" Jaime said, "I mean what is wrong with you that you can't tell people that you're not feeling well? How hard is that?"
Erick stared down at the ground in shame. "Hello" Jaime said, "I asked you a question"
"I heard you," He said "it runs in my family, you know my um identical twin brother um, Derek well he's even worse off than I am, he had both tonsillitis and appendicitis and didn't tell anyone about it, and he almost died. He was born on the day of a huge earth quake; I think that might be why I feel so sick right now and that might be why we have bad luck."
"OH! That's gross!" Jaime screeched, "Why would you do that Erick?"
"I told you" Erick said lamely, "It was my twin brother, Derek"
"I'm not an idiot" Jaime said, "I read your bio, I know you I know you're an only child, and beside what kind of parents would name there twins Erick and Derek? That would be like if I had a twin sister named Amy or something, but that's beside the point, that is really gross, gross, gross, gross!"
"I know it" Dolly said, "Tonsils are gross, so are appendix come to think of it, what's the point of tonsils and appendixes anyway?"
Jaime flashed another mean glance at Dolly.
"I meant" She said, "It's gross because, you enjoy being in pain or something don't you Erick, you're like a masochist or something, and its sick! And it's really immature that you have to lie about being a twin when you're obviously not."
"Wow" Stacy said in a confessional, "And I thought I had issues with keeping to myself, Erick just gave me a run for my own money. Wow holy shit, I'd at least tell people if I was feeling sick, I just wouldn't expect anyone to care. But people obviously care about Erick, he should just tell them it's not like it's some really big secret or something. And what's even weirder, is that he felt the need to invent a twin brother, what kind of 27 year old does that? Seriously! Heck the what? And I may be wrong but if his twin brother was born on the day of an earth quake," She couldn't help smirking "wouldn't Erick have been born on the day of an earth quake or whatever too? I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right. I think this guy might have special needs of some kind. Like everyone else here."
"I'm going to go lie down" Erick said.
"Erick's doing really bad" Dave said in a confessional, "At first I thought he just had some kind of bug or something, but I think it's way worse than that, I think if we don't get the paramedics out here, he's going to be in really big trouble." %%##@ streamed down his cheeks.
"We need to get the paramedic's here" Dave said.
"No" Jaime cried, "Not the paramedics"
"If it were any other time" Jaime said in a confessional, "It would be fine for them to come but, I know he's going to get air lifted." She breathed heavily.
"we're going to call them" Dave said, "Whether you like it or not"
Jaime cried hysterically.
"I heard them mention the paramedic's" Erick said in a confessional, "And I panicked, I don't want to find out what's' wrong with me, I don't want to know if I have a fatal disease." Erick began sobbing fitfully.
"I feel so sorry for Erick right now" Dolly said in a confessional, "It would be so scary to get sick on Survivor, I just want to go into the shelter and comfort him. But I don't really know what I'm supposed to say."
Dolly stopped at the shelter and hesitated. "Hey" She said quietly. Erick slowly sat up.
"Can I come in?" Dolly asked, "Sure" Erick said quietly. "Come on in" Erick's shirt was off, so now his lesions were clearly visible. Dolly made a face. "Ouch!" She said, "Doesn't that hurt?"
"Kind of" Erick said "It hurts like hell actually" He confessed, "It's like 50 billion on the pain level."
"Wow" Dolly said her eyes were wide with curiosity. "And you never told anyone?"
"I didn't want to bother anyone," He said quietly, "I didn't want to be a burden to my tribe, we were already having enough problems as it was, I didn't want to add any new problems."
Dolly nodded understandably. "Dolly?" Erick asked, "Can I tell you a secret?"
"Um yeah sure" Dolly said, "Go for it."
"It seems that lately people have been coming to me with their secrets," Dolly said in a confessional "I guess they just really trust me."
Erick sighed heavily, "I don't really have a twin brother, I was talking about myself."
"I didn't think that was true" Dolly said. "I mean okay I kind of believed it maybe a little, but not really."
"So that's not really a secret is it?" Erick asked he looked up at Dolly, his eyes red with %%##@; he looked like he had more on his mind "You know Jaime?" He asked. Dolly nodded. "Well" Erick said, "The thing is, she expects me to tell her everything, but I can't because, well, I don't really like her she's bossy and she's always watching me like she's some kind of sentinel or something, and it's impossible for me to talk to her."
"I know what you mean" Dolly said, "What's a sentinel?"
"Jaime" Erick said weakly.
"Dolly is just so easy to talk to" Erick said in a confessional, "I'm usually uncomfortable talking to people about personal things, but Dolly's different, she understands she listens. She's a lot like me in so many ways."
Jaime had her ear pressed against the shelter, and was not at all happy about what she was hearing.
"I don't like the way Erick's confiding in this Dolly girl," She said in a confessional "I mean he's known me for much longer, why couldn't he have told me that he thinks I'm a sentinel." %%##@ streamed down her cheeks. "It just hurts me to hear Erick describe me like that, maybe I have been a little bit hard on him, but don't I have the right to be worried? Does that make me a sentinel? I hate being described as a sentinel, because I realize it's true. I mean seriously, look at me; here I am with my ear pressed to the shelter, listening to him and Dolly's conversation" She groaned loudly. "This is just sooooooooooooooo frustrating, what the hell does Dolly have that I don't? Why can Erick talk so freely with Dolly? Dolly, Dolly, Dolly!!!!" She let out a scream of frustration.
"What do you think you're doing?" Peih Gee asked sounding disgusted.
"Shhh!" Jaime hissed, "I'm listening."
"My God" Peih Gee said in a confessional, "She seriously needs to get over herself, she's been like sitting there with her ear pressed against the shelter for like hours, I hate to say it because well I'm kind of mad at her, but I'm kind of worried about Jaime, she's really falling apart mentally. I don't think I've once seen her move from the position she's in."
"Listen" Erick said, "I really shouldn't be saying these things about Jaime, it's not nice. Besides I like Jaime."
"Oh. Um I understand I guess" She said, "Just a few seconds ago," Dolly said in a confessional, "Erick said he didn't like Jaime because she's bossy, he seems really confused poor thing."
"I'm so thirsty" Erick complained clenching his throat. "Here" Dolly said handing him the canteen.
"I can't drink" Erick said. "My throat's like literally closed up." %%##@ spilled down his cheeks. "Now I remember what my twin Brother Derek felt like before I had my tonsils removed." Erick blinked back his %%##@. "I'm worried that if I try to drink, I might get Pneumonia or something, and I don't want to risk getting Pneumonia, especially not on top of everything else."
"Yikes" Dolly said. Her eyes began to water. "Okay" She said in a confessional, "I'll admit it, I'm scared, too much information and a lot of it didn't even make any sense I knew he was sick, but I had no idea he was that bad. I've always kind of had a phobia of sick people, especially when they go into specific detail about what's wrong with them." She shuddered. "I know that's mean and everything, but oh my gosh what if this thing Erick has is contagious? Don't panic Dolly, it's not it can't be. I can see why Erick might not want to tell Jaime about all this. Jaime would FREAK. "
"Uh oh" Dolly said, trying to keep herself calm." That might be a problem; you're going to get dehydrated."
"Great" Erick said in a confessional, "Now she's starting to sound just like Jaime"
"I'll be okay" Erick said. "I hope so" Dolly answered. She got up, Erick grabbed her hand. "Dolly?" He said weakly.
"Y'Yeah?" Dolly asked nervously. "Could you stay with me? You know until I go to sleep?" Dolly gave him a watery smile. "Yeah of course" She said.
"My ears are burning. I could not believe what I just heard" Jaime said in a confessional, "Erick:' Dolly, could you stay with me? Until I go to sleep?' Dolly: 'Oh but of Course! My love' I can't believe this, Erick has replaced me with this female equivalent of himself. Why couldn't he have asked me to stay with him? I know why, because I'm a bossy sentinel, okay I admit it. It's all true." She cried in her hands.
Dolly stayed close to Erick, he hadn't fallen asleep yet. "This is painful" Dolly admitted in a confessional, "Please fall asleep soon. Pretty please" Erick finally fell asleep and to Dolly's horror began foaming at the mouth like a rabid animal. "Oh my god" Dolly said clutching on to her chest. "Erick!" She shrieked "are you all right? Can you hear me?" "I wish I knew more CPR" She said in a confessional. The whole thing was too much for Dolly, she instantly ran out of the shelter.
"Dolly!" Jaime scolded. "Jaime!" Dolly shrieked, "Were you here the whole time?"
Jaime nodded slowly. "Were you listening to our conversation?" Dolly asked, "Not that we were really having one, because you know neither of us really talk all that much. How much did you hear?"
"The whole thing" Jaime said crossing her arms. Dolly gave her a lame smile and started taking off. "Dolly" Jaime said grabbing her. "I know we're not really friends or anything but please, HE'ELP!!!! I know I've been a bitch, how can I get Erick to talk to me? How can I be less of a sentinel?"
"I don't know" Dolly admitted, "Because I don't know what that means"
"It means I've been over protective" Jaime said sounding as if Dolly should have known that. "Oh" Dolly said nodding. "You agree with me don't you" Jaime said her eyes narrowing.
"Um" Dolly said, "No, You're not over protective, not at all, okay maybe a little."
Jaime turned the other way her face was covered with %%##@. "I can't help myself" She sobbed, "I worry, what would you do in that situation?" She snapped.
"You asked for my opinion" Dolly said shyly. "Right" Jaime said. "Sorry, Look" She added, "I really need to ask, I heard you're conversation, but I just need to know" She took a deep breath and began talking a mile a minute. "How's he doing? What's wrong with him? Is he going to die? Is it contagious? Will he be able to make it to the next challenge? Will he have to be taken out of the game? Tell me tell me tell me please! PLEASE!!" She began hyperventilating.
"Jaime I don't know" Dolly said. "All I know is he's doing really badly"
"Yes" Jaime said, "I got that, I'm just making sure I heard right. It sounds way worse than I thought. What do you think's wrong with him?" Dolly bit down on her finger, "You might want to sit down for this Jaime" Dolly said. Jaime did as she was told. Dolly's eyes widened. "Erick" She said her voice was shaking, "Has Rabies!"
"WHAT??????" Jaime shrieked. She stood up and slapped Dolly across the face. "Why would you say that?" She snapped, "I don't know" Dolly said lamely, "Why else would he be foaming at the mouth." Jaime collapsed to her knees. "Oh my god" She said, "No, Dolly. You're wrong okay? You can't just make assumptions like that. You can't just diagnose people."
"Well" Dolly said lamely "On the bright side, at least he doesn't have Cancer like you suggested earlier."
"Thank you so much Dolly" Jaime snapped, "I feel much better now!"
"Rabies doesn't spread" Dolly said weakly looking at the ground.
"Just shut up! Okay!" Jaime exploded, "We'll let the paramedic's figure out what's wrong" %%##@ flooded down her face. "Until than" She stared bitterly at Dolly. "STFU!"
"I can't reach the paramedics" Dave complained sounding exasperated, "How could they possibly be on hold, what else do they have to be doing?"
"That Sucks!" Jaime said curtly. "That really, really sucks." "I know earlier I really didn't want the paramedics to come" Jaime said in a confessional, "But now, I really need to know what's wrong with Erick, I'm desperate for answers. I just want to know that he doesn't have Rabies or Cancer, or both."
"This is not cool" Dave said in a confessional, "Erick could be dying or something, and where are the paramedics? Hell knows"
"Maybe they're just on vacation" Dolly suggested
"How could they be on vacation?" Dave snapped, "Don't they realize they have an important job to do?"
"Gimme the phone" Jaime said curtly.
"They're not answering" Dave said. "Hand over the god damn phone" Jaime said through clenched teeth. Dave did as he was told. "PARAMEDIC'S" Jaime shrieked into the phone. "PLEASE SOMEBODY, HE'ELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dave clapped his hands in slow motion. "Great show Jaime, have you ever considered Broadway?" "Do you think this is the time to be talking about this?" Jaime snapped. "No" Dave said, "Not at all, so?" He asked, "Did it work? Did they pick up?"
Jaime dropped the phone and sobbed uncontrollably. She gingerly picked up the phone again, "Look" She said in her normal voice, "We really need your help, I'm sorry I made such a scene, but please help." "Hello" A voice said at the other end of the line. Relief flooded out of Jaime's body "Hello" She said back, suddenly her relief was replaced with anger. "Get you're asses over here this instant" She snapped, "We need you"
"They're on their way" Jaime said as she hung up. %%##@ of relief spilled down her cheeks. "Good" Dave said, "I'll go contact Jeff, I think he needs to know if one of our tribe member's is leaving."
Erick was suddenly jolted awake. "I don't know what's going on" He said in a confessional, "But I'm really scared, everyone's talking really loud, all at once and I can't figure out a word anyone's saying. The only word I can make out is paramedics." %%##@ streamed down his cheeks. "I know I'm in a really weak state right now, but at the same time, I want to stay in the game, I don't want to give up. I know they're going to find something wrong with me, and I'm going home, home, home." He let out a shaky sigh. The paramedics arrived shortly.
"Thank you so much for coming" Jaime said frantically. She grabbed the paramedic's hand and began shaking it uncontrollably. The paramedic backed away. "Okay" He said, "You're welcome" She began talking to them a mile a minute.
Erick sat up slowly, "They're here" He said in a confessional, "I'm just going to stay in the shelter until they decide to leave. I'll just wait till tribal council." Minutes later Erick noticed that the paramedics hadn't gone yet.
"I know what I'm going to have to do" He said in a confessional, "I'm just going to get out of this shelter and show them and everyone else, that I'm fine." he sighed heavily, "That might be hard to do" he continued, "First of all, I don't really feel like getting out of the shelter, and secondly I don't think I'm going to be able to fool anyone. Not the paramedic's, not Jaime, not Dolly, not even myself." Erick continued listening to Jaime blab to the paramedics. To make things even worse, Dolly had started blabbing too.
"This is just too much" Erick said in a confessional. He miraculously got himself out of the shelter. Everyone's eyes were glued to him. "We called the paramedics" Jaime said, as if that wasn't obvious. "You called them?" Erick asked weakly, "What? Why?" Jaime led the paramedics over to Erick. "Thank you for helping" She whispered to both of them. She than left Erick alone with them. "So what seems to be the problem?" One of them asked. "Problem?" Erick asked deliriously, "There is none I'm" Suddenly more black splotches appeared in front of his face. "Fine" He finished, than once again fell over backwards. Jaime let out a loud banshee like scream. "It's okay" another paramedic said putting his hand on her shoulder trying to calm her down. Jaime jerked away, "NO!" She snapped, she turned away "No it's not okay" she said poutingly. %%##@ streamed down her cheeks. She knelt down next to Erick. His eyes slowly opened. "J'Jaime" He stammered weakly. She tearfully grabbed on to his hand. "Don't worry" She said, "The paramedics will find out what's wrong, it's going to be okay." She stroked his damp hair. "He's all yours" Jaime said turning to the paramedics. They closely examined him. "How long have you had these?" one of them asked touching one of his lesions. Erick jerked back in pain. "They're new!" he coughed out. Jaime was furiously shaking her head. "Nuhuh" she exclaimed, "I'm sorry" Said one of the paramedics, "Did we ask you?"
"No" Jaime said boldly, "No you didn't, but I know what's going on, you think just because I'm blonde, I'm clueless, I'm not!" She began breathing rapidly. "He's had those lesions since I don't know, day 10 or something. They are NOT new."
"Since day 10?" one of them asked. Jaime nodded her head furiously, "It might have even been day 9" She said. Her eyes widened. "She's wrong" Erick breathed out weakly. "I mean she's right" He finally admitted. Jaime continued nodding her head furiously. "Does it hurt?" The paramedic asked, "He told me it's like 50 billion on the pain level" Dolly offered, "But" She looked down at the ground, "I don't think I was supposed to say anything about that."
"He's not asking you Dolly!" Brady snapped. "Sorry" Dolly said looking down at the ground.
"She's right" Erick said, "I mean she's wrong" %%##@ slid down his cheeks, "It's much worse than that" He said breathlessly, then let himself slip out of consciousness. Jaime bit down on her lip. "What's wrong with him?" She asked instantly, "You have to tell me."
"I'm just going to remove myself from this situation for a while" Dolly said in a confessional, "I am really not looking forward to finding out what's wrong with Erick, like I said, I'm kind of phobic of sick people. Omigod, I'm being such a jerk right now."
"You need to be a little more patient" The paramedic said to Jaime. She clenched her jaw. "Don't you tell me to be patient" She snapped. The team of paramedic's ignored Jaime, and continued examining Erick. "This doesn't look good" One of the paramedic's said. "What doesn't?" Jaime cried, "What?" They continued ignoring her. "What????" She cried again.
"I will not be ignored" She said in a confessional, "Don't they care about what I'm feeling? Don't I matter in this situation?"
"Tell me!" Jaime shrieked.
"Jaime" Dave said, "Come over here, I think you might want to get out of their way."
"I'm just worried" She said tearfully. "Can you blame me for it?"
"Of course not" Dave said irritably. "But don't you think you should give the paramedic's their space?" Jaime scowled hard. She knew Dave was right. "Don't you have any idea how hard this is for me?" She asked tearfully, "Doesn't anyone care about me? I'm just so miserable, so worried, so heartbroken. With out Erick, I make no sense."
"You are so selfish" Dave said disgustedly, "Have you even once thought about how Ericks feeling? I hate to say it Jaime, but he's taking it a hell of a lot better than you are and you're not the one who might be dying, you really disgust me you know that?" Jaime once again started bawling hysterically.
"My God" She said in a confessional, "I hate being told that I'm selfish. Okay I'll admit it, I am kind of on the selfish side, but in this situation I'm not being selfish. Is it selfish to worry about someone excessively, I think not." She wiped her eyes, "But what's really getting to me" She continued, "Is that deep, deep down, I know Dave's right, I haven't thought about how Erick's feeling. But maybe that's because I don't know how he's feeling, because he won't tell me, and neither will the paramedics."
"Maybe you're right" She said turning to Dave, "Maybe I am being selfish."
"Bingo!" Dave said condescendingly. Jaime scowled.
"Well" Dave said, "You are, what was I supposed to say? That you're being really selfless?" Jaime stared down at the ground and said nothing. One of the paramedic's walked over to the rest of the group.
"It's about time" Jaime snapped anxiously. Dave glared at her. "I mean" Jaime said, "What did you find out?" The paramedic gave everyone a serious look, "I'm afraid your friend isn't going to make it out here, he's in critical condition."
Jaime was becoming more and more impatient. "Yeah and?" She prompted them. "Are you going to tell us what's wrong with him or not?"
"Your friend was stung by a jellyfish" The medic announced. "Fortunately we were able to remove the stinger from his body before the poison spread further." Jaime shuddered uncontrollably. "He's going to be okay right?" She asked, "Afraid not" The paramedic said, "He's had that poison in his body for such a long time, that it's done a lot of damage." He turned to Jaime, "So you said he's had those lesions since day 9?" Jaime nodded vigorously. "I'm so sorry" She said "I should have contacted you guys earlier, I'm such an idiot."
"Erick just kept quiet about it" Dave said, "He keeps quiet about everything, we could all tell that he was sick, but since it didn't seem to bother him, we kind of let it slide. That's just the kind of person Erick is, he likes to keep things to himself. He just wants to play the game and get far." %%##@ trickled down his cheeks.
"I don't understand when this could have happened" Jaime said, "Erick hasn't been in the water since for ever, he get's sea sick easily."
"Yeah" Frosti added, "Even when he's not on a boat, he threw up a ton in the ocean."
"OH That's GROSS!" Stacy exclaimed, "Grosser than gross, please don't talk about that in my presence."
Suddenly Frosti remembered something else. "He was clenching his back a lot I remember" He said, "Like he was in pain" %%##@ streamed down his cheeks. "Omigod" He said quietly. "I should have known better, I should have pushed him to tell me what was really going on, I feel like such a bad friend" He began sobbing.
"Well it's too late now" The paramedic said, "Hopefully, we'll be able to get him safely to a hospital."
"Please tell me he's not going to die!" Jaime ordered.
"Does he have any heart condition that you know of?" Asked the paramedic. Jaime thought about it for a while. "Yes" She said, "He has a heart of solid gold, which makes him so he's incapable of being mean to another person."
Courtney smirked loudly. "Seriously Jaime" She said, "Would you like a breath mint?"
"COURTNEY!" Jaime snapped.
"Jaime" Courtney said taken aback.
"Let's be serious here" The paramedic said.
"Who's not being serious?" Jaime cried.
"I meant does he have any REAL heart problems?" The paramedic asked.
"Well I really don't know" Jaime said huffily, "Because there's a lot of stuff he keeps from me."
"He doesn't have any heart problems" Dave said sounding annoyed. "Well than" The paramedic said turning to Jaime, "That answers your question, only people with heart problems die from Jellyfish poisoning."
"Make him better" Jaime commanded, "I need him to stay in the game." She then shut up because she realized that she was being selfish again.
"We can't even get him to wake up" The paramedic said firmly, "How can you possibly expect him to stay in the game? If you really care about your friend, than you'd let us take him to a hospital."
"You're supposed to be paramedics" Jaime snapped, "You're supposed to take care of him."
"I'm sorry" He said to Jaime,
"I can't believe this is happening to me" Jaime cried out hysterically.
"Did I hear her correctly?" Dave asked in a confessional, "Did she seriously, honestly say I can't believe this is happening to ME??? I cannot believe her. I mean where does she get off turning this into HER problem? Nothing is happening to HER."
"I'd like to have a moment alone with Erick" Jaime told everyone. "That's not going to do you any good I'm afraid" The paramedic said, "I've already said we can't get him to wake up" Jaime ignored him, and walked towards Erick. His eyes were glued shut.
"Honey please wake up" Jaime said grasping on to his hand, "I'll do anything, I promise I'll be nicer, I'll stop being so annoying, I'll stop being a sentinel, ANYTHING, just please wake up, pretty please! Pretty please with sugar on top, pretty please with a cherry on top? Pretty please with whipped cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and a cherry on top?"
"You seriously need to cut that out!" One of the Medics snapped. "It's not going to do anything." Jaime flinched.
"Where the hell, is Jeff right now?" Dave asked irritably, "I contacted him an hour ago."
"I'm sorry" Peih Gee said, "But no you didn't, you were going to, but I guess you forgot."
Dave stared down at the ground. "What are you waiting for?" Jaime shrieked, "GO!!!!"
"I don't really understand, what Jaime thinks all the hurry is about," Peih Gee said in a confessional, "It's not like contacting Jeff is going to automatically make Erick better or something."
Dave walked over to the rest of the group. "I got a hold of Jeff." He announced, "He said he's on his way over."
Jeff arrived at the Lunez
camp in no time. "Jeff" Jaime cried, "Please let Erick stay here, please."
He gave Jaime an odd look, "That's not up to me, that's up to the Paramedics, besides, he's
in a coma Jaime." He said, "Yeah I know DUH!" Jaime snapped, "But maybe the paramedics can take care of him, and he'll wake up and be
okay again."
"I don't think so Jaime" Jeff said shaking his head.
"We're taking him" One of the paramedics said, "There's no way he can stay here. In fact we probably should have already taken him." Erick made no signs of waking up.
"Ready?" One of the paramedic's asked the other. "I'm ready" Said the other. The two of them lifted Erick onto a cot and hooked him up to an oxygen tank and an IV."
"This is not happening" Jaime said staring off into space, "This is all just a nightmare, and once I slap myself I'll wake up, and everything will be fine."
"I think not Miss" The paramedic said, "This is really happening." Jaime strided over to Erick, she held his hand in her's. "Goodbye Erick" She whispered, her %%##@ spilled all over his body.
"Okay," The paramedic said, "No more wasting our time let's get him in the helicopter." The two of them lifted. "Bye everyone" They said once they had gotten him in safely. Jaime instantly dropped to her knees and cried until her body was limp with exhaustion.
"Well" Jeff said, "It's always a shame having to lose a tribe member that way, but hopefully Erick is safe now, and that's what matters. Since we already lost a member, that means there's no tribal council tonight, I'll see you guys at the next challenge."
