Echo Aftermath

nothing makes sense

Alex p.o.v.

I dont know what's going on one minute he was here and the next he was just gone. That's not possible well neither is having an alien as one of ur friends.

I looked up after I realized that he was not there that he was gone.

I saw Emma first she was so relieved to see me and a little mad. Then I saw Munch he had an apologitic look, I knew he was sorry. Then I saw Tuck and he was rolling his eyes and pissed off and was looking at Emma all googlie eyed. I knew he liked Emma but she was mine! I mean not mine I don't know... I got up and walked over to them. I stopped infront of Emma.

"I'm sorry I had to see him..." she nodded and looked at me with understanding.

I passed her and went Munch. He looked at the ground in guilt. I hugged him. "it's alright man I don't blame you." we stopped hugging I looked at Emma and then back at Munch. "she can be scary when she wants to be." he smiled and I walked past him. I didn't even bother talking to Tuck there would be no point. He glared at me when I was walking by we bumped shoulders.

Emma's p.o.v.

When we were back Tuck went back to his sleeping bag and Munch was looking for something in his bag which I have no idea how anyone could find anything in that bag. I walked over to Alex and he was holding his side looking out a window.

"You okay?" I asked.

"No. But are you talking about my side or my seeing stuff that's not there?"

"well let me check your side and we can talk about the other thing."

"sounds good to me."

I lifted his shirt up to see what was wrong and it was getting infected it was a 3 day trip back from the desert. His side would be ten times worse if we left to go to the doctor.

"Hey Tuck?! Can you get me some water?" Tuck groaned and got up anyways only because I'm the one that asked I know he likes me but I like Alex and Tuck hates that I think thats what's wrong with Tuck and Alex's friendship, me.

I touched his side and he wensed in pain. I saw the pain in his eyes and it made me feel bad I don't want to hurt him so just stopped.

"what's wrong?" he asked.

"I hate hurting you." I say with sad eyes. I put my head down. He put his fingers on my chin to lift up my head and looked in my eyes. I have never seen such beautiful eyes. He moved closer and are lips were almost touching when he stopped. He whispered "impossible. Nothing makes sense Em, I don't know what's really and what's not anymore." he said I coould tell he was confused. It was may turn to say something. "I am. I'm real. And I'm right here I'll always be here Alex. I promise." this time I moved closer and our lips touched. It was the perfect moment, all things considered.
