Part 43

TW: PTSD, vomiting

"You, blonde, spit out the gum! And you, in the blue leggings, what are you doing?" I hear my PE teacher's voice. She never put in the effort to learn our actual names. And I was the girl in the blue leggings. 

My legs were shaking. My classmate's faces were blurry, morphing into one giant, scary figure, that looked like the HYDRA scientist, staring down at me with a grotesque grin.

"...Hannah? Hannah!" I hear a voice, could it be the scientist's? No, his lips weren't moving. Someone was screaming my name...was it me? Was I screaming my own name?

"Hannah!!"

That didn't sound like me. Was it MJ? Peter? I couldn't see anything, there were HYDRA workers in the corners of the room, stepping towards me. They grabbed me tightly. 

I couldn't scream. They were going to take me back. This time, they were going to kill me.

Wait, they couldn't be HYDRA workers, they didn't have faces. They slowly faded away, and I saw my classmates running around, throwing balls and playing badminton like nothing happened. 

"Hannah!" MJ was saying my name and waving a hand in front of my face.

My heart was beating in my throat, I was sick. My hands were shaking and I couldn't move them, because HYDRA's cuffs were tied around them.

"Yeah...sorry!" I said, panting.

"Welcome back to our universe" she said, throwing and catching a tennis ball in her left hand.

I couldn't breathe. I ran to the bathroom. I heard my teacher's voice as I ran through the school's corridors. I ran into a bathroom cabin and locked the door.

I collapsed on the cold floor and my head hit the wall. I felt so sick, so nauseous...

I bent over the toilet and threw up. I felt like my heart also came out of my stomach, like my guts were tied together. My lips were wet and the apple I had today tasted bitter in my mouth.

I wiped my lips and collapsed back on the floor, shivering, my teeth chattering. I prayed that someone, I don't know who, will come and save me. I prayed and begged. But nobody came.
