It's okay Ali,you don't have to say sorry or be mad at yourself,momma says. It was a meaningless argument and it's not your fault Samuel died,God has a special plan for everyone,Daddy says. We love you and forgive you Ali.
I wake up in a different room,it's just a bed but I am hooked up to more medications. I'm am sweating as I sit up against my pillows,it was just a dream,I tell myself. I start feel my throut burn as i try not to cry or think about the dream. I look around the room,it's a bedroom but a sheet where the door should be, the window that is in my room is boarded up. I only have a bed,couch and a dresser. Thinking about it,I'm just glad I have something left.
The next day I wake up I see Dylan asleep on the couch. I try to get up and I grab to pole that the medication is attached to and walk over to him. It feels as I am about to puke, so I decide to sit down before I do any more damage to my body. "Dylan". I whisper in a hoarse voice. Dylan jumps up and quickly comes up to my bed as I lay,he hugs my softly and says "I'm here". I smile at his gently spoken words. "I'm glad you are here",I say. Dylan looks at me and asks,"did you kill Hayes?" I look away and try not to meet his eyes,"yeah..I did he said he was the one to tie up Sam". So I made him suffer",I say fiercely. Dylan looks at me with a discussed look,"why would you do that? "Ali" Dylan looks at me with discusse "Just because he killed Sam doesn't mean you can just kill him". I look at him bewildered,"are you serious he killed Sam!" If some one killed your family you wouldn't do that?" I yell and just as I finish my sentence I realize someone did kill his family. "Dylan" I look up at him as he slowly stands up "I'm sorry,I'm didn't mean it." He bites his bottom lip as I see he is trying not to cry. "Ali..you're not who you used to be",he says harshly. He walks out just as I start to have trouble breathing,as I do I see Thomas walk in with two other nurses. The come quickly towards my bed with medical supplies,and tell me to stay still. "Woo no your not stabbing that inside me,I don't even know where I am!" We'll tell you that after we're done,Thomas says.
Once I wake up,I feel a lot better,I look at my arm and it still hurts but it's not infected. I touch my collarbone, and almost curse but bite my tongue,it burns like I'm on fire. I know it will be sore for awhile,hell I'm surprised I lived through that. Dylan walks through the sheet door,I turn towards the wall to not look at him. I hear him sigh, "look I'm sorry I said that,I should have understood." It's just I feel like I lost the girl that I loved,because of how you've been acting lately,he says. I turn to him,"you used to love?" So it's over because of how I killed someone? "See you're talking like as if you don't even care,but you do well at least you did,"Dylan says and walks away. I look up at the roof and bite my lip so I won't cry. How,..how all of sudden is everything falling apart. I need help,from someone and now even you have turned on me,my own mind,I say to myself.
Thomas comes in,"you can now walk, but with someone helping you,I'll go get Dylan",he says. No,not Dylan,I say. "Why?" It's over with me and Dylan,he thinks I'm monster,I say. Thomas shakes his head and looks as angry as I saw him when we got a grenade thrown at us,"fine I'll go get Gale,and talk to Dylan." You really shouldn't,I say but he is already gone. Gale comes in,and I am already getting up. He runs over to me and holds me by the waist as I get up. "I need to tell you something,Ali,"Gale says as he looks in my eyes. "Sam's..funeral will be held tomorrow." I don't ,I can't hold back the tears this time. So..so they didn't bring him back to life? I ask as I cry. Gale has a few tears coming down his cheeks as he shakes his head. Just hold, on to me,because I'm a little unsteady,I say. I drop the cane and hug him, he hugs me back,his hug makes me feel so safe,like he wouldn't let me fall. I look at him and say,"the clothes I got him,I want him to wear that not a tuxedo he's to young for that."
We start walking to where they are getting ready for my brothers funeral tomorrow. The room where they are having the many funerals for the many people that have passed. They are having it in a church that has happen to be in the city where we are staying. Then I see girl that looks familiar,somewhere I've seen her..the raiders place! I walk over to her and hug her,"thank you." She smiles and nods. When we arrive at the place I see Romania standing in front of the hand carved,mahogany coffin. I have to stop,and prepare myself of seeing my dead brother. I walk over to the coffin and give the outfit to her,"I want him to wear this,"I say. As she takes it we hear yelling outside,I walk quickly as Gale holds my arm and walks with me. Once we arrive at the door we see Thomas and Dylan yelling at each other. I walk out and see we are in a small town,that seems like it too has been in war. Then I look at them,"why would you leave her because of something so stupid!" Thomas yells. She did it for her brother!" Thomas yells again. She is not who she used to be,the kind,loving girl. I don't like her! Especially if she will act like that! Dylan yells. I feel my heart stop and the cane falls to the ground just as Gale goes over to break up Dylan,and Thomas. I feel my legs give and I fall on the torn up street where we stand and I can't breathe. Gale and Thomas look at me as Dylan runs over to where I lay having trouble breathing. Thomas runs to me and just looks at me in shock, I'm on the ground crying and trying to breathe. I have my hands on my throat and my legs are moving as I try to breathe but I struggle. Thomas puts his mouth on my and breaths into me. As I slowly feel his air enter me,I close my eyes and blackout,not seeing anything.
