The other way around

Nineteen

Athena P.O.V.
The night of the explosion.

Every fiber in my body was telling me to run the other way, the blood in my body was with high levels of adrenaline and I think that was the only thing making me keep running in the house direction, the big guard was screaming for me to stop. My finger has constantly pressed the detonator until it happened.

One by one the blocks of C4 exploded, the force from the blast was so strong that made me fly backward, the hot air hit my skin, shards of glass penetrating my face, arms, and hands, and then I hit the floor, I felt my bones breaking or dislocating with the impact. At that moment I just wanted Dean, how I wished to be in bed cuddling with him. And then everything went black.

I woke up feeling sore everywhere but the worst was the pressure I had in my throat I started clawing at it, my eyes still closed and that's when I felt the tube coming out from my mouth, the beep beside me getting faster and faster, I was in a hospital even with my eyes closed I could understand that. I gripped the tube and pulled it out of my mouth, making me cough really hard. Soon enough more machines started beeping and suddenly doctors and nurses were coming inside the room.

With my eyes finally opened I looked at them, waiting for someone to talk. But no one did, they were all around me checking my wounds and vitals.

"Stop." I tried to shout but failed my throat felt like sandpaper.

"I'm sorry miss, I'm doctor Daniel and I was the one that made your operation." He said looking at my head, I reach my hand to touch it. I had a spot where my head was shaved above the left ear with a big scar.

"What happened? How long?" I asked, drinking water that a nurse gave me.

"You were in a coma for a week and a half. You had your hip and both shoulders dislocated, but the worse was the bleeding in your brain I had to operate to release some pressure from it. You also had minor lacerations on your skin."

"One week and a half? How did I get here?" I asked.

"There was a big explosion in an old mansion, you were found almost two days after because you were deep in mud and between trees and bushes. Do you remember what happened?" The doctor asked. I'm trying to remember but everything is so foggy.

Think Athena.

Explosion.

Why would you be so close to it?

Dean.

Fred.

Blaise.

Everything came crashing back, making my head hurt even more. The plan going wrong, me having to be near to detonate, the fight and them the big boom. I remember this but there's so much that it's so confusing, I can't remember numbers, not any contact, and not even my fucking house number. Shit, I need to get out of here.
