CHAPTER 6

                                                                         ALITAS POINT OF VIEW

I heard someone saying my name  then someone tapping my cheek but it was so far away like a dream, I'm really confused my eye lids feel so heavy but the voice is getting closer and closer I am still struggling to open my eyes not knowing whats going on when I felt this horrible pain. I moan out loud goodness this hurts. ''can you open your eyes for me Alita come on sweetie open them beautiful  eyes for me.'' I try but its so hard I just want to go back into the a bliss into the oblivion no pain, no fear. Then I think about Mrs. Debbie and I struggle again for my eyes to open after a few more tries I finally managed to get my eyes open I see Mrs. Debbie sitting over me smiling away. I manage a very weak smile and an even weaker hi. but she looks so relieved she says hey really softly. I then realize that I have no idea what happened after I passed out or how long I was out for so I licked my lips and tried to speak again I whispered how long was I out for. My voice broke after I said the last word. "two hours" I nod weakly then I forgot to ask how everyone else is making sure everyone else is ok. I licked my lips again and she realizes my throats really dry she gets me some water I drink it slowly when im done I say thank you its still weak but not from dryness I manage to ask how  is everyone else doing. she chuckles and says you are one of a kind sweetie everyone is fine just worried about you. I nod again "how are you feeling honey'' my stomachs on fire it really hard to breathe its hard to I'm tired..... hungry hot really hot '' ok all we have is Tylenol but it will help you looks like your running a fever so im hoping the Tylenol will help that to. do you think you can sit up we'll get you something to eat ok. I nod my head and start to try to sit up she help the best she can without hurting me more its so painful my breathing is getting worse I cant breathe I am gasping for air seeing black dots but I don't stop I keep sitting up determined to get it I finally manage to sit up for it felt like hours I still cant breathe im trying to catch my breath but its coming out really shallow  Mrs. Debbie helps me control my breathing. Mrs. Debbie asked vanessa to get a granola bar because she couldn't move she was holding me up I was to weak to hold my self up vanessa got me one I ate it really slowly but I ate most of it I get even more hotter then I was earlier she helped me lay back down the other kids came up to me and said that they were glad I was ok I nodded and my eyes were going heavy getting really tired she puts her jacket over me like a blanket moves my hair out of my face and whispers its ok you can sleep I nod my eyes already closed I sign and falls asleep.  I don't know how long I was asleep but its even hotter then what it was my stomach was on fire I smile back trying to ignore the pain and heat still somewhat sleepy hi honey how are you feeling Im ok how bad are my injures" well honey you have a really bad burn on your stomach and some bruised ribs I put my extra shirt on you because yours was ruined. I nod trying to stay awake again I made conversation how are we going to get out of here I cant walk. I say she says well figure it out ok don't worry bout that'' I nod again did the fire extinguisher really kill it'' ''yes it did so we have an advantage now'' then we can leave' were not leaving until you  get stronger ok I nod. sign and tries to sit up just thinking that its the way im laying down that's causing me pain I get up alittle but I fall back down gasping for air im sorry I say she just says don't apologize its not your fault no but jake and samanthas death is I think sadly to my self Mrs. Debbie looks at me sadly I look down and she says its not your fault, I look back her startled how did she know she helps me sit up leaning on the wall and she says again its not your fault they died Alita I whimper and say whisper yes it is looking anywhere else than at her and she wont see the pain and the guilt in my eyes she takes my chin gently to make me look at her a tear falls down my face its not your fault she says again I finally admit the truth out loud and whisper yes it is another tear falls down my face. she says again more stern no its not alita you couldn't have anything more then anything.'' if I was faster and had better reflexes they would still be alive I wouldn't have they're blood on my hands they wouldn't be dead my best and only friend wouldn't be dead im a murder I was breathing really heavy I start crying she carefully pulls me to her and holds me while I cry my heart out its not silent this time its a loud sob. she whispers to me just no sense in my ear shhh its ok its not your fault you tried they died knowing you would have died for them and I bet that gave them the peace they needed. my stomach is more on fire now then it was but I couldn't stop crying. she held me tighter I don't know how long I cried or how long she sat there with me holding me while I cried. I eventually stoped crying clutching my stomach still holding on to her for dear life I whispered against her chest thanks. your welcome sweetie she pauses your stomachs on fire isn't it. yes I say clutching my stomach more I got your shirt wet I just noticed she told its fine we need to lay you down it looks like your fever got worse im scared you have an infection on your burn. she lays me down and lifts up my shirt she unwraps my the wrap on my burn she gently touches it I whimper it burns its so hot im breathing heavy now. its infected I don't have that kind of medicine she signs she got up and got some ointment she has around the room and comes back im thankful all the other kids are sleeping she opens the lid and she puts the cream on my burn I bite my lip to keep from screaming im crying again it burns so bad, I whimper she shh me im almost done its ok, I can taste blood I didn't answer her because I would have screamed if I opened my mouth. my breathing is worse im seeing dots in my vision I hear Mrs. Debbie saying my name but I cant respond and soon my world goes black from lack of oxygen. "alita.... alita can you hear me sweetie.  I  moan I try wedging my eyes open but I cant im to weak come on baby wake up for me. a few minutes later I try to wedge my eyes apart again I finally get them open, I see Mrs. Debbie over me looking really worried "im so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you she says I manage a weak smile and says its not her fault she gently pushes my hair out of my face and I ask her how bad the infection was. its pretty bad sweetie but it could be worse. its starting to get really cold I shiver and whisper im cold I know its the fever im trying to get it down. I nod gently falling into a fevered sleep.
