Cordelia

chapter 51 ~ hey

i open my eyes and remember in which part of life is replaying right now

it's the first day i went to stay with all of them, they were staring at me four of them but this time it's five, maybe I'm mistaken, i don't know 

I'm not sure what is happening

"Cordelia, my god you're okay" i hear Samuel's voice

what is going on, why can't i say anything, i look around not liking the noises

"why isn't she speaking" i hear his voice, and he's right why am i not?

i try to wet my throat by swallowing my salvia but there is none, my throat feels dry as Sahara desert, i tap on my throat trying to give them the hint to give me some water

"wait i think she want's some water" i hear another voice and in no time i was give a glass of water, i drink it, all of it in one go

i breathe "want more" he asks and i nod

"do you know your name" i was asked by a man i have never seen before, i nod at his question

"can you talk, i need to know if you are able to talk"

"yes" i whisper, it feels kind of strange when i talk, it feels as if my throat is sliced by knife.

"good" he strange guy made few tests, checked me, took my blood and then left

i then look around and stare at them "why are you looking at me like that" i question

"you know who we are right?" one of them asks

i stare at them with no expression, i then notice one of them sigh "shit, she doesn't"

"why wouldn't i" i ask them and their eyes widened

they smile, well almost everyone except him, Everett, he put his hand on his eyes and walked away, why is he walking away? i can't see his face because his hand is covering it, is he happy, sad? what expression is he making right now?

after a little i was left alone to rest "if you need anything call or text, don't even raise your voice" i nod at Connor

i thought i was left alone but few seconds later someone came inside once again, i look who is was and see Everett entering the door 

"Cordelia" he whispers

i don't say anything, just look at him "how are you feeling" he asks

"I'm fine"

"do you remember what happened?" he looks concerned, what happened?

"I'm not sure" i answer, what happened? did i do something?

"okay" he sighs and slight relief crosses his face

"why what happened" i question

"it's fine, don't worry about it, you will remember it and if you don't that's even better" he states and i just not, not knowing what i should say

"is it good or bad" he stays silent, i guess it's bad

"what is the last thing you remember" last thing? i started to think

last thing...

"being on the beach" yeah i was on the beach with him and others, then something happened but what

i flinch because my head started to hurt as i tried to remember what happened

"it's okay, don't force yourself to remember, it'll come naturally" he calms me down and i nod

"hungry?" i shook my head

the rest of the evening he stayed with me, i would lay there and he sat on the chair holding my hand, i don't know what he's thinking, but then i decided to ask him

"hey, what are you-" i cut myself off when i realized he fall asleep

"hey" i whisper "come here" i pull him towards me 

he slowly opens his eyes and being dazed and freshly awake he doesn't understand what is happening so i just ordered him as i pushed him towards me

"lay here" i state and he does it with no hesitation

he lays next to my and i wrap my hands around his head and hug him, he wraps his hands on my waist and we just lay there, doing nothing but i feel good, i feel relaxed, i don't feel threatened

and that's all i need for now, i look at him, stare, looking at his slow breathing and i close my eyes and soon enough i fall asleep.
