Chapter 5: My Head and My Boob Hurt.... What?
**Alice**

I felt like I had just drank three bottles of rum, vodka and multiple shots, but I don't remember school having that kinda party in the morning. Hell I don't even remember going to school for that matter. And why in the living nature do my boobs hurt?

That was something you probably didn't need to know, but really. Bringing me out of my thoughts I heard a few voices talking in the hall outside the room I was in.

"When she wakes up we'll be able to tell if she remembers anything. If she knows who she is, and knows who you guys are, and forgot maybe her morning and how this happened, then it will be fine." There was a short pause. The male guy - whoever the hell he was - sighed. "But if she wakes up and remembers nothing there a 50/50 chance she won't remember anything for the rest of her life, or it could all come back to her within years, maybe months."

There was a few sighs. "Thank you Dr. Hanson." A really familiar voice said. I heard footsteps walk away before a door opened and closed with a soft click.

"Don't worry Rae, she'll be fine. How could she not remember her best friend since the 6th grade?" A male voice said, trying to lighten the mood. I noticed it was down and sulking.

"She's been out for three days, what if she doesn't wake up in like . . . years?!" The same girl exclaimed.

"Rae.." The guy started. "It wasn't a big gash, they said she lost a few pints of blood, and that she should wake within a week. Give it time." He said softly. I heard nothing after that, so I'm guessing she either nodded or letting his information sink in before she speaks.

"Ethan are you okay?" A deeper male voice asked, and oh my god was that voice the most amazing thing I have ever heard. Off topic! Focus!

I heard a short laugh before it was muffled by a hand. "What the hell is so funny!? I never told you a joke and I sure as hell hope you don't find that Alice in a coma is funny!" A woman exclaimed. Well damn, whoever this Alice chick is, she is very loved. Wait, aren't I this Alice chick? I swear I'm not stupid.

"Its nothing, just, uhmm, thinking about something Alice would say right now." I'm guessing Ethan replied. I had enough of seeing blackness.

Slowly I opened my eyes, cutting off anyone who was going to speak. "She'd tell you to turn off the damn lights!" I mumbled, squinting at the bright light.

"Oh shut it Alice, I wanna hear-" Reece soon cut himself off once he realized I just spoken. Everyone yelled my name and jumping at me with hugs and 'You're awake'! Not something I'd give to someone who has a headache and an aching boob.

Okay I really want to know why they hurt so much, again this is off topic! "How much do you remember?" Rae asked.

"Almost everything, I don't remember getting wasted at school though." I said trying my best not to yell. They all chuckled, Rae had a tear stained face. It was weird seeing her cry. After the incident with- nope, bad memories. She went through it and never cried again is what I'm trying to say.

"Why are you crying?" I asked, She smiled softly before breaking into tears. I sat up ignoring the pain in my head and body and hugged her. I looked at the five, silently telling them to leave. They nodded, getting the message and walked out. Once the door closed I looked at Rae.

"Rae, you've never cried since you were 11. What broke?" I asked, I know her like the back of my hand, even better than I know myself. I know she's been depressed, I would have been the worst best friend ever if I didn't see that. But never in seven years has she cried.

"I-I just, I can't lose you. I don't care how small that gash on your head was, I was worried." She cried into my shoulder. I rubbed her back, something she would do when we were younger and I had started crying cause I wanted my parents. There's a few things I remember about them. It all started coming back when I saw the five.

"I'm never, in a million fucking years, leaving you." I said to her sternly. She nodded and hugged me harder.

Once they checked my vitals and were sure I had my memories they told me they were going to keep me overnight for observation. After that awful night, they let me out. Never in a million years will I go back there. I hate hospitals, never liked them, never will. I sat in the car next to Rae, she's been mute ever since the day she cried. I've tried, Ethan's tried, hell even Milo's tried. No one can get her to talk. I was half tempted to ask my doctor to check her. I never did find out why my boob hurt, mostly because I was too embarrassed to ask but still.

It was quiet and I didn't like it. Rae was never the quiet one, she always had something to say. Rae's favorite song came on the radio. 'Uma Thurman' by Fall Out Boy. I reached over to the dial and turned it up a bit more. I started to sing with it, Well, singing to Rae. She turned down another street, trying her best to ignore me.

I narrowed my eyes at her, and sang louder. I have an okay singing voice, Mel, our old foster mom said I could become a singer when I was older because of my voice. I never believed I had a good voice but Rae and our foster home thought otherwise. I could see her cracking, a smile she was so badly trying to hide. I grinned, I finally broke the DAM!!!!

"She wants to dance like Uma Thurman, Bury me 'till I confess, She wants to dance like Uma Thurman, And I can't get you out of my head." She finally smiled and joined me in singing like retards. Rae wasn't a bad singer either.

Onced the song was over she turned it down. She was grinning like the mad hatter, "You did that just to get me to smile and talk, right?" she asked, turning down our street. I laughed a little.

"Yes, I did. I wondered where my best friend went, and the only way to get her back was singing her favorite song and making funny faces at her." I said pulling my hair into a ponytail. She shook her head and pulled into the driveway. She turned the car off and we both got out.

I walked up to the door, Rae behind me. I put the key in the lock and turned it. Rae looked up from her phone. I pushed open the door and walked in. Rae walked in and into the living room. I shut the door and locked it again. I walked where Rae was, and saw she had a fireball in her hand. I looked at her weirdly, she put her pointer finger to her mouth.

I immediately collected water in my hand, shaping it into a dagger and freezing it into ice. I heard a thump from the dining room and we both looked there. You know those girls in horror movies walk into that area and die? Well lets just say, Rae and I would be dead.

We crept over to the dining room, Rae threw a fireball at a figure. The figure screamed before putting it out. We just stood there mortified. The three people looked at us with wide eyes.

"WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL?"
