GASP.

𝐈 wake up in a panic. I quickly take notice that i wasn't at the hospital anymore. I breathe heavily and try to calm myself.

'Fuck.. what the hell.. what happen-' I grit my teeth as i remember the events prior.

'..I trusted them.. i fucking trusted them and they-' I clench my fist and take deep breaths. I begin to stand up. I groan and hold onto my abdomen. "..Dang it.." I mumble.

'..Where am i? What about the others?' I ask myself as i look around the room.

I notice i was in a white room, i myself was on a bed, not to far in front of the bed was a wooden table, on the corner there was drawers, in front there was a television.

I look to the side and notice another room, a bathroom. As i was looking around i notice a camera. I narrow my eyes at the camera.

'It looks like i'm on an asylum or some shit..' I think to myself.

I look around the room again and realize there was no windows. 'Dude.. imma get pale in here.'

I sigh and rub my head.

'What the hell is going on.. where did Rosa and Miguel take me?' I think to myself and grit my teeth in frustration.

I then tried to stand up. I wince as i do. I take a deep breath and stand up. I felt my legs slightly shake from under me. I hold onto the bed.

I then heard the door in front of the room rattle. I felt my body stiffen and i don't move. I narrow my eyes at the door. If i tried to move if probably fall to the floor.

The door then opens. The person coming into the room,

was Mateó.

My eyes widen and i felt my breath get stuck in my throat again. "M...Ma..Mateó...?"

He only smiles at me. It wasn't a normal smile. It was a smile like he planned this. He knew what happened.

"Hola, hermanita." He says in a calm voice.

Translation; "Hello, little sister."

I had no words. Absolutely no words.

Just then, another person came into the room. I look over to the door in a panic, i see someone with a dark blue doctor uniform. They had their hair tied up, and wore glasses. I took notice they had a bag in their hand.

"Hello-" They said and before cutting themselves off when they saw Mateó.

"Mr. Gómez. You're not to be in here. He said you're are not allowed in until he said so." They told him.

"Tsk." Is all Mateó said before he went to leave the room. He looked back at me and gave me a smirk before he left the room.

I look back to the doctor. I press my lips together and back away, out of caution.

"I apologize about that. He was not meant to show up. I didn't mean to startle you in any way." They told me, calmly.

"I brought you some food, though." They told me as they lift the bag in their hand.

I stay quiet and only look at them wearily.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to harm you if that's what you're concerned about." They reassured me.

I slightly calm down. "..Who are you..? and what are your motives." I say.

They didn't seem to mind the caution in my voice. They stepped closer with the bag in hand. I notice they had some sort of tablet in their other hand.

"My name is Alex. I'll be in charge of your care for now. I know you're confused, scared, and weary, right now. So i'll do my best to explain the situation." Alex tells me.

I stay quiet and hesitantly nod.

"If you want to come sit and eat while we talk, I promise the food is not drugged, whatsoever." They tell me. I stay quiet and look at the bag of food.

They also stayed quiet and watch my every move. I hesitantly make my way towards the table as i use the bed for support and hold my abdomen. Alex seemed to notice this.

They set both the bag of food and their tablet on the table. Alex then approaches me and helps me walk to the table.

Once i get to the table they carefully make me sit onto the ground. They go the other way and sit across from me.

"I do apologize for this inconvenience. I know that you were in the hospital and may not be in the best shape." They said.

I just nod my head. I carefully grab the bag and open it, i notice a sandwich and a water bottle. I take them out of the bag and slowly begin eating the sandwich.

"I'll let you go ahead and ask what you wish to know first. If it's something i can answer, i'll answer it." They tell me.

I stop eating for a second. "..Where are they?.." I ask them.

They looked at me a bit confused. "Who?"

"..My friends." I tell them.
