What Happened To Me!?

Does It All End?

Elliot's POV

My eyelids keep opening for a short second, then they close again. I don't want to be here. Everything is cold, lonely and dark. I want to go back to reality. I want to go back to them...my friends They must be heavily worried and terrified of what had happened to me..right?

I want to go home. I'm scared. Every time I keep opening my eyes...I keep seeing white. All white. I'm not where I think I am...am I? I couldn't be...I have people to comfort. I have people to care for. I don't want to give up now...please just let me go.

Let me escape from this dark pit untold loneliness that screams and echoes in pain...its overwhelming, its too much. I want to be free from this madness.

I just want to get back to them; the ones who really care..the ones who've been with me through the end. I don't just want to leave them. Not now. Not ever.

No. I can do this! I'm strong aren't I!? I've fought off dozens of dangerous robots before right? I'm sure I could do this! I'll be free! I will be free! I just have to...keep trying.

. . .

But what if there's no chance....?

What if I never get to see them again? After everything I've done for them. I've saved the world, but at what cost?

And even if I did do something heroic to save the world..

I'm still just a kid.

I want to live my life...I sometimes wish I've never taken these powers in the first place; I just wanted to live an extraordinary life...now look where that got me. I'm cooped up with my own mind space, the only sounds being heard were a few occasional beeps from a heart monitor. I knew I was in a hospital, I didn't want to be there, but I knew it was there.

It's all so dark. Cold. Empty. I almost felt....

Lifeless.

But I know I'm not...I'm still there. I'm still there somewhere...

I want to see her. She's still alive right? She's still there...after all that has happened. This all feels like some sort of lucid nightmare. A nightmare that I've been living for my entire life; what am I going to wake up to...? A happy family? But that's not real, that's not real at all.

I don't want to be met with fictional appearances and a fictional story to make me happy. That's not what I want. Sure, everything sucks and is going down...but I don't want everything to be happy just for me. What about everyone else? What about their happiness? Do they not matter? They matter to me! They matter way more to me than I ever do!

I just want to go home...please please please please let me go home. I want to go home..

I feel my eyelids open again, this time they're staying open way longer than they used to. I can actually see...I can actually see something, but all I see is white. Why is everything white? I mean- I am in a hospital.

I feel two looming figures over me, they looked somewhat like people but my mind could be playing tricks on me. Great, so I'm also hallucinating. Another mental problem to add to my life at the age of thirteen..at least I think that's my age. I don't necessarily know how much time has passed, hopefully it wasn't much to begin with.

I'm beginning to hear voices as well, they sound like adults; they're most likely doctors trying to take care of me. Imagine trying to take care of Mr. Whitlock's son, especially after an extraordinary mishap like this. Wouldn't be surprised if they quit the job after that.

I feel the blurriness begin to pass from my sight, everything becoming sharper and somewhat more comprehensible. I was in a hospital room of course, but the looming shadows were gone from my vision. Was that really a hallucination...? The brain could really hallucinate but can't seem to have the decency to tell??
