Save Me

Chapter 69

Thousands of noises travel to my ears. Thousands of needles are being pressed against my soft skin. Thousand people are pounding and throwing things against the wall. My body trembles; it feels like wherever I'm it's frosty. My blood feels like it has stopped running through my veins. A sharp stabbing pain crushes through my body; weakening it even more. A small whimper slips out of my lips. I feel hot tears cover my cheeks warming them a bit. It offers me a strange burning sensation. I force my eyes to unlock. I blink many times in order to adjust my gaze. Everything is blurry; whiteness, beds, curtains. I close them again when a throbbing ache spreads all over me; It breaks my bones.

"Corbyn," His name leaves my lips before I realize myself.

He came. My angel came to save me gain. My angel. The word makes my eyes pool and I open my lids to free them. I look around but I don't find him. I sit up and regret it instantly while a pulsating pain blooms inside me. I cry out in pain and feel tears run down in the impact.

An elderly lady appears with a white robe; her white hair is gathered in a tight ponytail in the back of her head. As she approaches me, she graces me with a wide reassuring grin.

"Are you okay, honey?"

"I'm...no...I feel..." I try to speak but my mind feels to be swollen; I can't think.

"Can you tell me your name?" My eyes snap open.

"Why are you asking me this?" I recall Edward hitting my head a couples of times. It can't mean that I'm was out for days or years. I can't have lost my memory.

"Where am I?" My anxiety mixes with agony as I gaze around blinking. I haven't been here before. Empty beds separated with white curtains occupy the grand room. It seems like a hospital.

"I will explain everything but I need you to answer me first," Her smile hasn't left her lips and her smooth voice calms a part of me.
"Amelia Evans," Her grin widens as she seems satisfied.
"Very good. Do you remember what happened?"

"Yes,"

"What was that?"

My lips part but I close them. I remember everything. Every single one of my moves in order to break out of this room, to escape me. I recall Corbyn coming in just the moment I lost my senses.

"I...I...was in a fight with someone and I fainted at the end."

"You were in a fight?" She furrows her eyebrows in confusion. I don't know what to say. I don't know what she or everyone else knows. Can I tell her the truth? Does she know it? I shake my head in disapproval. This is a dead end.

"Can you tell me please how long have I been out?" She seems to be hesitant but she thankfully speaks.s

"Just a couple of hours. I injected you and I hooked you up to a drip-feed," She explains and I check my right hand to find it connected to a clear plastic small bag full of a diaphanous liquid. Oh no. I look for my phone but it is in my locker along with the rest of my stuff.

"Do you know that happened?" I ask with desperation evident in my small voice. My body feels numbness though I don't have the time to ask her what she injected me with. I rest my head in my hands.

"It was a big fight. I have been in this school for almost a decade and I have never seen anything like this. A boy got expelled from the school after the teachers and the principal found him." A smile finds its way to my lips. Edward is expelled. My angel saved me. I feel this sudden yet overwhelming craving to see him, touch him, and get lost in his embrace.

"What about the other boy? There were two,"

"Just detention," She says and I let out a breath I have been holding in since the second I laid my eyes on Edward. It' over; I can't believe it. We are free.
