Project V (Clementine X Male Reader Book 4)

Unconscious

Brooklyn

Emma: Brooklyn?

I open my eyes. My vision is blurry, but Emma is standing over me. I'm met with that familiar smell of sanitizer. It totally beats the smell of the dead. I'm back. We're back; we did it.

Emma: What happened to Y/N?

Suddenly, I'm panicking. What happened to him? I tackled him and brought him through with me. He should be here with me, right?

I turn my head quickly and look at him. He's still in bed, lying there unconscious. We should both be up, right? Right?

Emma: I saw you both go through, but as soon as you did, his screen distorted, and yours went black like it should. You showed signs of waking. He didn't. Now you're awake, and he's not.

I got us both through. I did. I know I did.

Emma: Brooklyn, what happened to him?

Me: I don't know! How am I supposed to know?! You're the one who should know!

There's someone here, typing away furiously on a keyboard.

Me: What is he doing?

Emma: Trying to figure it out.

Me: You mean to tell me none of you know what's just happened?

Emma: Yes.

Me: Is he alive?

Emma: For now.

Me: For now?

I feel like crying.

Emma: Like I said, we don't know what's happening.

Me: Then fix him!

I can't get up. I want to go to him. I want to do anything I can to help him. But I can't with half my body broken, and I don't have the slightest bit of knowledge about any of this.

Emma: Brooklyn, calm down.

Me: What do you mean, calm down?! How do you expect me to calm down?!

Emma: He's ok right now. He's not hurt. He's just unconscious. We have to figure out why he hasn't come out yet, and then we should be able to help him.

Me: Should?

Emma: We don't know what's wrong.

What's happening, Y/N? Why aren't you coming out? Please wake up. Please.
