Adelaide - Finished!!

I'll ask politely: Gimme what I want

Adelaide's POV

I was in front of Cole. Had to find a way of making him remember me. Remember what he did.
Kevin was really clever when trying to help.
He showed me my fan he kept. Then, he threw it at the floor. Cole got down to get if for me.

--- Ah, let me get this. Is it yours?

--- Yes, it is.

He stared at the fan, not giving it back to me. Holding it tightly.

Carlo came with that...popcorn of theirs.

--- Are you alright, Cole? What's the problem with ya?

He didn't move.

--- Cole?

--- Hm, yes, what? I'm sorry I'm....I'm not really feeling good I...

Then he ran away to the woods, with my fan!

--- I need...I need some air I'm...I'm sorry I..

Carlo went after him. I looked at Kevin

--- Is it working?

--- There's only a way to know.

--- Should we go after them?

Kevin was already at the door.

I ran the fastest I could go the trio in the woods

--- Where's her? Where's your girl?
Go get her, we need some help, I need to get a thermometer, stay with him you two and...Go get her!

--- She's not my girl she's just...she's coming!

--- I'm here!!

I said it already out of breath, due to the effort I was putting to keep appearing to them. I wouldn't take it a lot further, I just couldn't.

--- Go inside, take the thermometer! I'm gonna be here with him, me and Kev, go go!

Carlo went inside.

Kevin said to me:

--- I think he's that way cuz he remembered. Or is remembering, I'm not sure I--

-- Shh!!

--- Did you just shush at me??

--- SHHHHH!

Cole was hyperventilating, sat in the floor. I kneeled down, to stay in the same height as him.

--- I need you to look into my eyes.

--- I'm so sorry I run away I'm sorry I'm--

--- Just look at me.

He didn't look at me, he looked down.
Kevin sat by his side.

--- Look at her, fella.

He just cried more.

--- I need you to look at me, just for a second boy, I'm gonna help ya. Look at me, what are you feeling?

He cried.

--- Look at me!

He sniffed and said between tears:

--- I can't, Adelaide.

Kevin raised an eyebrow. Excitement ran through my veins. I was smiling. The way he said my name.

--- What? Why, Cole?

He finally looked up, right into my eyes. A heavy look, desperate. Older than usual. His face covered in sweat. His hands running through his blond hair.

--- I just, I don't know what it gave me. I don't, I don't now what is happening I--

--- Edmund are you there?

--- What?

--- Edmund McCarthy, do you hear me?

--- Ada, take it easy, it's gradually..

--- Edmund McCarthy do you hear me, by any chance?

Cole laughed, in the verge of a meltdown.

--- Ed Who?

He coughed, he cried.

--- I'm not okay, I promise, I'm going to die here, call my brother

--- He's coming

--- Cole?

Suddenly he fell in Kev's arms, unconscious.

--- Cole?!?

Kev held him tightly, Carlo was coming already.
I went closer to his face

--- Wake up! He passed out, get him some water with sugar!

I tried to hold his face.

--- I think it's not him, he's just having a stroke it something?

--- It's him, Kev!

I went closer to him.

--- Wake up, Edmund, and look at me.

His eyes opened slowly.

--- Ada?
