Trapped

Alive

"Alana?"
~

"Hey." I said opening my eyes to white walls.

"Alana?" A voice rang through the lights.

"Hello." I asked my eyes becoming less blurry.

"Alana your awake. You woke up." The voice said taking my hand.

"Cole?" I asked looking around eyes still hazy.

"No. He never stayed awake. He has surgery again today." Bayla shuttered tightening her grip.

"She's awake." Eli yelled down the hall the room instantly filled.

"Bay your cheek." I said holding her hand.

"Alana?" A woman asked next to the door.

"Where's Grey?" I asked looking away from her.

"Alana. No." Eli said tearing up.

"No where is he."

"He.... he died before he ver made it to the hospital." Bayla said showing me other scars on her arm.

"Klarissa, Riley, the Keeper?"

"Who?" Eli asked stiffening.

"Ryan Sykes, the keeper." I asked looking to Bayla.

"She'll need to see Doctor Cranmer." I man in a white coat said stepping threw the crowd.

"Who? Wait I asked about Klarissa and Riley."

"The accident it took most of them. Our car, yours, and the car Clara and Kadence where in had the only survivors." Eli said fixing my hair.

"That wasn't an answer." I said feeling my wet cheeks.

"Klarissa had a lot of surgeries, lost a lot of blood. Not as much as you." He laughed trying to smile. "She hasn't woke up yet. Riley is in therapy today broke both arms. She lost a lot of motion. Your parents are with her."

"Okay. Tell me everything."

"You should talk to your doctors." Bayla said tightening her hold even more as she cried.

"No. I want them to leave and I want you to yell me everything."

"Alright give the girl some time call her parents and keep an eye on her." I girl said kicking them all out.

"Now tell me." I said watching them sit.

"You remember the game?" Eli asked looking me over.

"What game?"

"Cole's basket ball game."

"No. I remember being stabbed."

"I figured. Four months doesn't go away in five minutes." Bayla said rubbing my arm.

"So you remember to?"

"Yeah we both do. I was in a come two weeks. Bayla eight days. They said Grey kept yelling to stop the Keeper and the screaming when they found us. They didn't get it."

"I was in psych for six days till Eli woke up asking if they got your knife out and got Ryan. Then we got therapy. Cole was awake for a day asking if the breaks worked. Riley doesn't remember anything but screaming." Bayla said tears now in full flow.

"I remember being stabbed." I said digging for my wound now a pink scar.

"Actually. You where impaled by some glass from the windshield. Never got stabbed. Not here anyway." Bayla laughed.

"Grey's leg? Klarissa's thigh? Coles scar on his chin?"

"All from the accident. The one on your arms to."

"And yours?"

"Yeah the accident was huge seven car pile up six dead open arrival. We hit your bumper the Subaru folded my truck was totalled instantly. Ryan/borrower's car nothing but a pile of glass and scrap metal. The mini van all casualties. Everyone had some surgery if they even made it here." Eli mumbled shaking the last sentence out as my parents entered.

"How many?"

"Eighteen." He shook again answering me. "Including every single person even us.

"Cole and Klarissa will wake up soon. The last voice I heard it was Cole." I said trying to sit up.

"Honey don't." My mother said as I pulled out my IV.

"No. I'm going to see Rissa now." I said as nurses came in.

"Let her go Lacey." My father said bringing me a wheelchair.

"Help me." I said looking to Bayla and Eli.

"Okay." They said taking my hands.

"Hey Rissa." I whispered looking at her covered in cords.

"She can't hear you." Her brother said looking me over.

"Dylan." I smiled. "She only hears me. "Rissa you're gunna wake up today. We're here. Well what's left of us. Th- Ryan he's dead." I laugh-cried. "Grey to." I said and she started checking on her chest tube and lights started flashing.

"Move her." A nurse said rushing in.

"I told you. Today." I said gripping Bayla's hand.

"Since when are you friends?" Dylan asked looking at us.

"Right." Klarissa coughed weakly.

"Rissa." I said moving close.

"Dylan can you call your aunt?" The nurse asked. "I'll get doctor Leats."

"I'll just be a second." He said holding Klarissa's hand.

"So we got him?" She asked looking us over. "We won?"

"I'd say we tied." I said pulling a small smile on.

"Grey?"

"Died right after the crash." I said sniffling.

"Cole."

"He's in surgery again seventh one." Eli chuckled.

"The school?"

"Shut down for two days after. Summer break starts tomorrow. We should have graduated today."Bayla said as we all joined hands.

"Dang." Riley said as she waddled in. "At first I thought I'd be the only one. Like in the comics."

"Hey kid." We all smiled.

"Cole's out of surgery." She said looking in my eyes.

"And." Eli asked.

"He's talking." She said sitting down. "Talking to the crazy doctor."

"Damn. I'll go." Eli said running out.

"Why is he running?" Klarissa asked.

"Drink some water and listen close." I said looking at Bayla as she shut the door.
