The end of the world

Chapter Sixteen

🗡🗡

"You were my sun

You were my earth

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no

So you took a chance

And made other plans

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no"-Justin Timberlake

🗡🗡

My eyelids feel heavy as I try to open my eyes. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach making me slightly cringe. Suddenly my last memories I have before everything went dark feel my thoughts. The fight between my group and Phills makes my eyes snap open. I quickly sit up making the pounding in my head increase. The sharp pain in my abdomen became so intense i cry out without meaning to. My cry of pain caught the attention of the ones around me.

"Bella," Miguel says approaching me. "You need to take it slow. You lost a lot of blood." Miguel slightly puts his hand on my shoulder gently pushing me back down to the ground.

I look around confused noticing the others besides Danielle are asleep. "What-what happened?"

"After the fight with The Generals group the adrenalin seeped out of the you, you passes out from the injuries you endured." Danielle interjected.

I furrow my brows. "How long have I been asleep?" My fingers dig into the dirt underneath my aching form.

Miguel takes one of my hands in his own. "A week." My eye widened.

"I've been out for that long?" I question. How could i be out for that long? So much stuff could have happened while I was unconscious. Everyone could have died when i was out recovering from my wounds. If anything happened to anyone i could never forgive myself. Before my thoughts could wander too far astray Miguel fit his lips onto mine. My eyes slide closed.

I kissed him back right away. All of my previous thoughts vanish as his lips mold with my own. His hand finds its way into my hair as mine drift up from his shoulders to the back if his neck. Before things could get to heated we break apart and lean our foreheads against each others.

"I always notice you get this look upon your face when you start blaming yourself for things that are way out of your control." I smile opening my eyes. He was already looking at me. "I couldn't let you make yourself feel worse." I close the gap once again between us and slightly peck his lips.

I move my lips from Miguels, trying to regain over the control that diminishes everytime Miguels in my thoughts. My eyes move over towards Danielle who is still busying herself with whatever she is doing. My eyebrows furrow when I remembered what she did. "Hey Danielle?" I call, she turns around with raised brows. I wave my hand signiling her to come over, she obliges.

She walks over and sits in front of me. "Yes?"

"How are you doing?" She looks taken aback by my question. "Okay, i know i'm not the sweetest of souls," She scoffs making me narrow my eyebrows. "But i do care about you guys. Now answer my question."

She shrugs, her surprised look fading away. "Im alright, why do you ask?"

"I saw what you did. When you take a life, no matter the situation, it always stays with you, eating into your soul. I know from experience." Danielle tilts her head.

"She...she gave me no choice." She glances down to the dirty floor. I grab her hand gently in my calloused ones.

"Do you want to take about it?" Miguel glances between me and Danielle before getting up from his spot on the ground and walking away.
