Book 1- I Met you Before

Chapter 10

I woke up on the couch of my cabin. I could see that Julia was standing over me with her hand around my arm. She was mumbling something under her breath with her eyes drawn shut. I looked over to see Casey talking to Miss Annie. Tears seemed to threaten to fall. Robyn was hiding in Ash's arms. Jax was in the back with a smile across his face. Jazmin had Grace crying into her shirt. Julia looked up at me and took my hand. "Don't tell anyone, but you should have been dead. Right about now," she said, with a serious expression on her face. Her words stuck in my head that day on. I nodded yes. She looked over to the others. "He isn't dead," she said, removing her hand from mine. "What? No, he is dead," Miss Annie snapped. I grabbed Julia's hand causing her to jump slightly. Casey walked over to me. I looked up at them. "Jay," they said, tears running down their face. I let go of Julia's hand.

"Cas," I said, trying to sit up. Pain from my stomach had shot up. "Shit, don't move. Robyn, can you get that wheelchair?" Casey said. Miss Annie looked at me with hatred in her eyes. She stormed out and Julia seemed to flip her off. Robyn got a wheelchair and helped Casey lift me into it. "Okay, quick question," I said. "What?" asked Robyn. "How long was I out?" I asked. "A week," Julia said. "The challenges were stopped that long," Ash said. "It's getting late," Jazmin said. "We should get-go." Jazmin and Grace waved goodbyes. "I will catch up with you guys later. I'm staying a little longer," Julia said. "Okay," Grace said, walking out.

"I'm going to sleep," Jaxson said, forcing a smile. "Okay," I said. Jax left the living room and slammed their door shut. "The fuck his problem," Julia said. "Julia, no swearing," Robyn said. Julia crossed her arms. "Whatever. Can you all roll up your sleeves?" Julia said. The others rolled up their sleeves including Julia. "What the..." Casey said. All five of us had a number inside a hexagon. "Hexagon has six sides," I said. "Wow, thanks Captain Obvious," Casey said. "No, he's right. Six. We all have numbers but no six. We are missing someone," Julia said. "Can't be Jax or Jazmin," I said. Julia and I looked up in horror. "Grace," we said.
