The Beginning of The End ( NovaHD )

Chapter 13

Aleks' POV*
A striking pain woke me from my slumber. My arm was throbbing with pain, it felt like it was on fire. I winced and turned my head and noticed my blankets were in a ball at my side. My sheets were ruffled, and another pillow was next to mine. Had someone slept there?

I slowly tried to get up, but the pain was too much, and I fell back onto my bed. My head was throbbing hard, I started to get dizzy.  I needed someone to help me, so I thought of the person who always helped me.

"J-James?" I croaked. My voice barely came out, so I knew he couldn't hear me. Suddenly, I felt a shock like electricity go through my entire body. The shock made me shake. The throbbing and burning in my arm stopped, followed by the throbbing in my head.

I looked around again. What the hell just happened to me? I tried to sit up, and surprisingly did with ease. I swung my legs over the bed and stood up. I raised my bandaged arm and rubbed it. It didn't seem to hurt anymore. I walked out of my room, but stopped when I heard yelling.

It sounded like James. Oh James, how I missed you. I smiled at hearing his voice, thinking he was yelling at Seamus or Eddie. But when I looked over the railing, the man in the suit was there. That's the fucker that cut my arm!

I slowly walked down the stairs and started walking towards him. Then, James yelled at the guy again, and I think he was talking about me.
"He's upstairs sleeping, from when he passed out yesterday. And I don't know IF HE IS EVER GOING TO FUCKING WAKE UP!" James yelled at the man. I froze, the others hadn't seen me yet. Why is James thinking I'll never wake up? Was I asleep for that long?

James continued.
"No one knows if he is in a coma or not. He should have been awake by now. And since the Purge is in 6 days, I have no one. THANKS TO YOU!" He said, punching the man in the chest. I started walking again. I understand James is mad, but he doesn't have to beat someone up because of an arm!Why does he even care?

The man stumbled back a little bit from the punch. James started to walk up to the man again, and the others tried to back him up. But he wouldn't move an inch.

James got right up in the man's face, James clenching his fist in anger. Oh no.
"He is my best friend dammit! Why did you have to do that? Why?" James said sternly. He raised his fist, ready to strike, but I intercepted.

I walked up behind him, and grabbed his arm with my bandaged one, feeling no pain at all. Damn dude. What did that guy do to my arm? He tried to pull against me, but he wouldn't budge. He finally gave up and looked over his shoulder.

His eyes got wide and filled with tears. I was just happy to see him in person, and not in my dreams. I smiled at him, and he engulfed me into a hug, my head against his chest. And before I knew it, I was crying too.

"I thought you would never wake up," James sniffled. All of the others were staring at me, eyes wide. Eddie was even crying too.
"I'll always come back James. Your the one who woke me up," I admitted, half laughing.

He pulled away from the hug, his brown eyes glistening from tears.
"What do you mean?" He asked, a weird look coming across his face.

I just smiled and told him my dream, but of course, left out some of the things I didn't want to tell him.

Sorry it's a short chapter! The next chapter is going to be Aleks' dream, then maybe even a few more twists to the story. Don't worry guys, the Purge is coming very soon! Love ya! -Michaela :D
