Chapter 42 | Present day

Liv.

Present day.

Everything is a blend of colors. The people around me wear streaks of red, blue and white. The people in front of me are just wearing black.

I hear a distinct beeping noise that makes me want to tear my ears. Out. It skyrockets for a second and I try to remember where I am.

A car hit me. Sam would say, damn, I would just be in shock.

I am in shock.

I blink. Try to sit up. The people rush to gently push me back down, tell me to relax. "You got hit by a car, sweetie," Someone adds extra sugar into her voice. It's raining rainbows out of her mouth. "It's okay, you can rest now."

I close my eyes and try to ignore the throbbing in my head and the ringing in my ears. My hands and feet feel like Jell-O and my legs are mush. Kind of like the tar found near laboratories. The ones that are kind of sticky and bleak. Death sentence. My mind is tar. I think I might be hallucinating. I remember the documentary Mr. Jameson made us watch. He said that all of us are stuck in tar and only the strongest can make it out alive.

I think that's what he meant. Or it was another teacher...

I breathe slowly, take shallow breaths.

Breathe.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

In

out.

Try to forget why my back hurts so much or my legs feel like they are on fire. Try to forget why my head is dunked underwater.

I'm floating.

And I wonder what Sam is doing right now.

Or Cole,

who is happier than I could ever be.

God, I wish I could be as happy as him.

I just can't.

A/N:

Hey guys, what did you think about this chapter? About what happened to Sam and Liv and the short interactions with Cole. I'll keep you posted.

See you!
