Alex Above

Chapter Six

***
   All the memories were flooding into my brain. Everything that my brother had told me, everything that happened with Alex, even memories that never happened. Dreams. Nightmares. Terrible Nightmares. 

   I felt someone shaking my body and my eyes shot open. Everything was blurry and I couldn't make down who was here or where I was. It was hard to concentrate on anything on anyone when I had just had nightmares. Nightmares that hurt me. 

   "Honey. Honey it's okay," I heard an unfamiliar voice say. I tried to talk but failed. "You need to talk to me, your heart rate is off the roof." Off the roof? 

   "W-water," I managed to say, my voice scratchy and dehydrated. I heard her shuffle out of the room, however it was, to go get me water. Where am I. My eye's finally cleared up and I looked around. Small t.v, iv, bed...I am in a hospital. Why am I here? What happened? Why does my head hurt. 

   The person, who I now know was a nurse, came back into the room and handed me water. I slowly sipped it from the small cup and set it down on the table next to me. 

   "Why am I here?" I asked attempting to sit up but failing. She sat at my feet and gripped the bed. 

   "Uhm, you had a panic attack while you were driving and blanked out. Your brother had called us while attempting to stop the car. Luckily he had, because when the ambulance got there, your car was hanging over the edge of a cliff while you two were laying on the gravel next to it," She explained. I remember none of that. I don't remember the drive, I don't remember why I had a panic attack, I don't even remember leaving the house. 

   "I remember non of that nurse," I said, licking my dry bottom lip. She shook her head. 

   "Uhm, yeah. You have a little bit of brain damage that caused you to have amnesia of the situation that happened. Your brother is fine," she said, grabbing my hand. 

   "My brother? Where's my brother?" I asked frantically looking around. 

   "Uhm, he was talking to some boy. I will bring him in here," she said before walking out. 

   Minutes later she arrived with a worried brother. He ran up and wrapped his arms around me, squeezing me tightly. He whispered something in my ear that I couldn't hear, but I didn't care. 

   "Are you okay big brother?" I asked once he pulled away and sat on the bed. His eyes widened as if they fell out of their socket. 

   "Me? Am I okay? What about you? You're the one in the hospital bed," He said, shaking his head. 

   "Yeah, I know but I could've killed you. I am so sorry," I say, looking down. 

   "It's okay baby sis. It isn't your fault, you had a panic attack," he said like I didn't almost kill him. I rolled my eyes. 

   "But-" I started but he stopped me. 

   "No but's. Stop. You can ask me that when I am in a hospital bed, but I'm not. I am perfectly fine. You're the one that is in the hospital bed, you're the one I am worried about." 

   It is sweet that he is worried about me, but I almost killed him because I couldn't keep my thoughts together. 

   "I almost killed you--" he stopped me. 

   "Well, I am still here so, no need to talk like that--" he started. "But, off of that topic for a sec--" my eyebrows furrowed. Why would we need to get off the topic of us almost dying? What could possibly be better...or worse? "Someone is here to see you--" 

   He looked over to the door. 

   "Come in." Then there he was. The mysterious boy that I yet to know. Asher Cole...

   Why is he here? Better yet, how does he know I was in here?

A/N

Ugh, so I know that this chapter is terrible:( but I am also just getting into this story and I don't know where it will go. I know it isn't a big deal that Asher went to the hospital (or is it) but I wanted to make it seem like a big deal to Elle. Why was he there? Better yet, how did he know Elle was there? What happened? You'll just have to wait. Probably not because I won't be able to hold it in. After I write it I will want to post it. I guess that is good about me being the author, because I can't hold back publishing the chapter after I write it so you won't go too long without an update. Haha. Well, give me some feedback and why you think Asher is there? I love you forever and ever and ever okay? 

Don't forget to share, comment, and vote. 

Much love,
