Dex&Jensi

Chapter 11

I woke up in the Healing Center. It took me a minut before processing everything that happened. And then...

"Jensi! Where is he?"

Sophie hurried to my side when she heard my desperate scream.

"I'm sorry, I-He didn't make it."

No, no, no. Jensi had to be alive he couldn't be dead. He just passed out. The soporidine dose he got couldn't be fatal. Ro had much more and was still alive!

"You're kidding right?"

"Oh, Dex, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. We were too late. The antidote didn't work."

"No."

I turned my back at her. Jensi was Alive. She was just lying. He would walk in and come see me. I closed my eyes and dozed off.

I don't know how long I slept–well I didn't reaaly slept. It was more of a sleep-five-minutes-and-wake-up-the-sleep-again– but when I woke up, I was. So. Fucking. Hungry. But I couldn't get up. Because in the moments where I was awake, I had realized that it was true. Sophie didn't lie. And strangely, I wasn'r angry. Or sad. Or anything really. I was just a shell with nothing inside. My parents took me home and I locked myself in my room. My friends visited me. But I didn't opened the door. It was just too much to ask for my strained body. My mom left the food on my doorstep and I took it only after she left. Wich was long and almost every time, my meal had time to cool down. After a week, I started to feel something. I realized it was my fault. If I didn't make Vespera mad, she wouldn't have shot soporidine in the sky and Jensi would've been alive. And he would've known I was ready to come out. Or if I had untied him first. For another whole week, I pent most of my time crying. I ate less. I think my mom got tired at some point because she kicked down my door. And tried to talk to me. Normally, I would've said something like "I didn't know you were a badass" but it wasn't normal so I just turned and let my mom talk. I don't know exactly when but she left my room while swearing a lot and I fell asleep.
