Melanies POV

I wasn't sure where I was, or what state I was in. I could hear the voices of Jared and feel a hand in mine, but I felt like I was trapped inside my head unable to control my body.

"Mel, please you have to wake up. I-I don't know what I'd do with out you."

I heard Jared sniffle. W-was he crying?

"I am so sorry that I didn't catch you, I am so so sorry, but you gotta wake up baby, for Jamie if not for me. Please I'm begging you."

His voice broke at the end, sobs over taking him.

"I love you." I could barely make out the three words that he spoke, but I felt my heart skip a beat at the sound. Every time he told me those three simple yet powerful words, it was as if my heart pumped that fraction harder...beat that fraction faster.

I could feel my mind gaining more control over my body as I attempted to move my fingers and squeeze who ever was holding my hand. It seemed to work as Jared voice filled my ears once again.

"Mel!? Mel! Jamie! She's waking up!"

I tried my best to force my eye lids open, and although at first they felt heavy lifting weights, I slowly managed to open my eyes a jar so that light slowly seemed through the slit.

As my eyes eventually flickered open I was engulfed in a bone breaking hug. It wasn't strong enough though to be Jared so that left only one person.

"Jamie, you're acting as if you haven't seen me in years." I laughed, managing to hug him back.

"OhMelanie!Ithoughtyouwouldntwakeupbutjaredsaidyouwouldbuttherewassomuchblood!ohmel" Jamie gushed, ignoring my previous comment.

"Hey, Jamie, give Mel some space, she hit her head pretty hard." My head spun to my right to see a relieved looking Jared smiling ahppily at me.

Jamie,let go of me saying something about going to get me a drink.

"Jared! W-what happened?"I attempted to sit up, but a pain instantly shot through my head.

"You fell, remember? Hit your your head pretty hard, blood and everything, luckily I had got a first aid kit on the last raid. I was abl-"

"Lily. Where's Lily?" I cut him off.

He looked at me like I had grown a second head.

"Lily?Who's Lily? Mel are you alright?" How could he not remember OUR daughter?!

I tore my gaze away from his face and scanned my surroundings my breathing becoming shorter as my heart started to beat faster. I was in a bedrrom, but not the one that I was in before, with Lily. It looked like a trailer bedroom, one of the small plastic windows on the left wall. As I looked futher around, the room looked old and shabby, nothing but the bed I was layed on and an old cabinet to the left side of the bed and the chair that Jared was sat on and even that was just a wooden stool that looked as if it may colapse beneath him.

Memories came flooding back as I took in my surroundinds. The aliens. The death. The running. Meating Jared. Falling in love. Hiding. The fall. The dream. Lily.

She was just a dream. The aliens were still here. We were still in hiding. I felt a single tear fall down my cheek. Although she was just a figure of my inagination, she had felt so real. Her tiny body in my arms, safe with me and Jared in our house in our world. Theis just made the tears fall harder.

"Mel? Mel are you in pain? I think there is some paracetamol in the first aid bag." Jared asked worriedly seeing my tears.

I was in pain yes, but not physical. I was in emotional pain. I was grieving for a child that I never had. For a life I may never get to have.

I shook my head as I fell into Jared's chest. I felt his arms engulf me as his hand moved to stroking my back, his lips kissing my head. He waited until I had cried all my tears up before he spoke again.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I don't know how but he seemed to understand that it was more than the slight head ache that I was crying about.

"Not yet." I whispered, I don't think now would be the time to tell him I was crying over our non existing child. I think that it would just scare him.

Jamie had come in half way through my little break down and placed the water on the cabinet I pulled away from Jared and grabbed the cup, taking a swig. I smiled as the cold water hit the back of my throat. I hadn't realised how thirsty I was.

"Mmmm." I moaned as I finished the last of the water.

I heard Jared chuckle beside me and I turned to see him now holding his own glass of water.

I placed the empty glass down on to the cabinet. I laid back down, resting my head on my pillow. My eyes seemed like magnets, pulling towards each other and I had choice but to obey.

"Good night baby." Jared whispered before kissing my forehead.
