Eve

A blur of voices reaches my ears. My head pounds and light pulses behind my eyelids, making me wince. Finally, my brain zeroes in on a voice.

"Yes, but all I'm saying is she has an eighteen percent chance of living." And then.

"Doctor! Shes waking up!" A frantic voice calls. I feel as if I have cinder blocks on my eyelids. They simply won't open. A soft hand touches my cheek.

"Hey, baby girl. Take it easy." I whimper softly. I can hear the smile in his voice. "Can you open your eyes?" He asks softly. I try to say no, but all that comes out of my dry throat is a croak. My lips are dry and cracked. I move my lips, mouthing an 'O'. "Water." The warm voice says. The sound of heels clicking away reaches my ears. Suddenly, my eyes shoot open. A nurse with long brown hair stand in front of me. She has a little tag on her shirt, but my eyesight is too blurry. She smiles warmly at me.

"Hi. You probably cant read my tag. My names Mercy." She says softly. She strokes my cheek. "Lily will be back with your water in a second, sweetie." She says.

"Doctor." I force out. She looks up.

"Doctor! She wants you." Mercy says. A handsome guy in his late teens walks up to me. His blonde hair hangs over his forehead. I lift my arm and touch his hair. Its really soft. He chuckles.

"I see you've met Mercy." He says. I nod. "Well, my names James." I smile, despite my pain. He smiles back. The nurse, who I'm guessing is Lily, comes back in carrying a plastic cup full of water. She brings it to my lips and I gulp down the cold water. She steps back. James helps me sit up.

"Hey, baby girl. I forgot to ask." He says. I nod. "Whats your name?" He asks. I open my mouth, about to answer, and then freeze. I frown. He frowns too. "Whats wrong?" He asks.

"I-I dont remember." I say. He looks back at Mercy, who has her hand over her mouth. Lily has the same shocked expression. James looks back at me with a grim expression.

"I see."

Hello, undies. *waves from behind a couch* How are you today? Please don't hurt me! This was necessary for the following events that take place! It had to happen. Sorry!

Also, later on in the book, we will have a SHIP WAR! So start commenting on what the ship names should be! Here are some suggestions:

1.) Eve+James= JEVE
2.) Eve+Sammy= EMMY or SEVE
3.) Eve+Roy= REVE

Ya know what? We're NOT having a ship war. Look at that! Jeve? Seve? Reve? No! Terrible. Terrible! Forget it. No ship war! But I will as you to comment who you SHIP the most, because whichever gets the most votes, that's who Eve will get together with. So, goodbye my lovely undies!

Vote!

Comment!

Lots of love and tater tots!
