The Storm (2)

Chapter eight

 Melina's pov-

 My body feels fuzzy, everything hurts. What the fuck even happened? 

 My eyes slowly fluttered open. Ew, bright light. 

 I looked around and saw I was in a hospital room, I'm assuming at medical. I really doubt my brothers would've taken me to the hospital. 

 " Melina?" I looked over and saw Enzo. 

 " What happened?" I asked.

 " You don't remember?" he asked.

 " You had an episode." Maddox said, walking into the room.

 It all came rushing back to me. The guys cornering me, trying to get me to eat. The anger and fear taking over. The last thing I remember was telling Max to get them away from me.

 " How bad?" I asked.

 " Bad, really bad." Maddox said, a look of sadness on his face. 

 " Is everyone okay? Where's River?" 

 " He's at our place with Silas." he told me.

 " He didn't see it, right?" I asked nervously.

 " He did." Maddox said.

 I really hope I didn't scare him too bad.

 " What about my brothers? Where's Max and Theo?" Maddox didn't respond, his eyes dropped to the floor.

 " What?" I asked, looking over at Enzo. 

 " Tell me." I demanded. 

 " Enzo, out." Dean said, walking in and taking a seat next to me. Enzo listened to Dean and left. 

 " Where is my fucking brother?" I asked in a deadly tone. 

 " Melina, things got out of hand when you had your episode. You took a knife to Theo. He lost a lot of blood. He was put into a medically induced coma but they brought him out of it yesterday. He's gonna be fine. Most of us are just bruised up, a couple of broken ribs." he told me, only answering part of my question.

 " How long was I out for?" I asked.

 " Four days." Maddox answered.

 Jesus, I don't think I've ever been out for that long before. Not due to an episode at least. 

 " Where's Max?" I asked again, he usually never leaves my side after an episode. 

Dean and Maddox looked at each other, " Don't look at him, look at me. Where.is.Max?" I snapped at Dean. 

 " Max tried to stop you, during your episode and you attacked him." I felt fear and anxiety rising. Please let him be okay. He's gotta be okay, I wouldn't actually hurt him, right?

  My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest.

 " What did I do?" I asked breathlessly.

 " You broke his neck." Maddox blurted out. 

 Oh my god. There's no way I actually did that, I couldn't have done that. I wouldn't kill him. I felt my anger and sadness rising. My breathing picked up and I felt myself slowly losing control again.

 " Fuck, Melina, you need to calm down." Maddox grabbed my hand.

 " Dean." Maddox said in a warning tone.

 I looked down and noticed the black veins slowly creeping down my arms.

 Maddox gently grabbed my face and made me look at him.
