Invisible

Chapter 5: Wake up

Luke's POV

"How much further is it?" I asked this girl. We've been walking for a while now. She was leading me somewhere and I didn't like it, at all. I felt like she was trapping me now, I knew she's capable of doing this, since she did it to Blair.

"Not that far."

I looked around, this wasn't an area I wanted Blair to be in. My poor sister. I looked at the girl. "What's your name?"

She didn't look at me. "Rachel."

I nodded. "Ok, Rachel, why did you do this to my sister? What did she do wrong?"

The girl sighed. "I didn't want this to happen, at all." She stopped. "The guys wanted revenge because you pranked them or something like that. So they figured using your sister would've been the best revenge." She continued walking. "I'm sorry, really. I just want to find her now."

I was really angry, but I figured that I better should keep calm. I mean Rachel obviously wants to help, so I'll just let her. I'll be angry, later on.

After 10 minutes walking, Rachel stopped.

"What?" I looked in front of us and saw a body lying onto the ground, motionless. "Blair?" I ran passed Rachel to Blair. When I arrived at her motionless body, I knelt down. She really didn't look good. She had bruises all over her face, her lip was bleeding. She had a black eye. "What have they done?!"

Rachel seemed paralyzed at that moment.

"They did this to my sister because of a stupid joke?!" I looked at Blair. I took her arm and felt her pulse, thankfully I felt it. I got up and took my phone.

"What are you doing?"

I ignored her. I was so angry, and besides I needed to save my sister. "Hello 911..."

Blair's POV

It's weird how when you're unconscious, you still think and dream. I mean, I wasn't awake, I wasn't conscious, but I did hear people around me. And to be honest to scared me, a lot. Just knowing, feeling, people around me, and I wasn't able to do anything. When they said something, I couldn't respond, I couldn't show a sign that I heard them...

I heard Luke a lot. I heard him accuse this girl, Rachel, and her gang. I heard him tell the 'story' to the police, I heard him being worried about me.

He was worried about me. He really was. Maybe now he'll see me, maybe now he'll stay with me. Maybe now I won't be alone anymore...

It's funny how I first have to be beaten up almost to death for him to be with me, here. I mean he talked and talked, he was afraid that when he stopped, I would die or something like that.

But I wouldn't die, I wouldn't leave him. I would miss him too much, my brother. I'm so happy he's here, with me.

I heard him talk about mom and dad, that they'll visit me as soon as they can... So even though I was in the hospital, I was beaten up and unconscious... My parents still wouldn't come to me.

They don't care.

Of course they do, they must. I mean, I'm their daughter. Parents love their kids, right?

Yes, they do.

And Luke said it himself, they'd come, so they'll come. It's just a matter of time...

I remember dreaming about, about a magical place. About a certain warmth, a save zone, a comfortable place. I couldn't quite make out what it was, but it was nice.

And all of the sudden, it stopped and I woke up...

I inhaled deeply and slowly lifted myself up. I blinked, but didn't know why. I mean I slept for a while now, I think.

I actually didn't know how long I was out... I guess I'll have to ask.

Suddenly I heard something beeping. I looked around slowly, what was happening?

That's when the door opened and nurses entered. "Blair? Can you hear me?" One of them asked.

I looked at her, she was looking at me worried. Why though? What happened?

"Blair?" She looked at her fellow nurses. "I don't think she can hear us."

Yes, I can, I'm right here. I wanted to say that, but nothing came out.

"Blair?" Another nurse tried. "Blink if you can hear us."

I blinked immediately.

"I think she can."

I tried my best to slowly nod.

"She can." They smiled at me. "Ok, we'll stabilize you, don't worry you're in good hands."

I slowly closed my eyes again.

I don't know how long I was out, but I woke up again. I think after a few minutes. I blinked slowly, letting my eyes adjust to the environment.

It's then that I noticed Luke sitting there.

I wanted to say something, anything. But all that came out was a little mutter.

Luke however heard it and sat up. "Blair?" He stood up, leaning over to face me, really close. He chuckled a little. "You're back."

Back? Where was I?

"I'm so happy you made it through."

"Yeah, she's strong."

I looked around and saw a nurse too, how have I not heard or seen her?

"When can she go home?"

The nurse took some papers from the edge of my bed. She looked through them, then looked at Luke. "It'll be a while."

Luke nodded and looked at me, he reached for my hand. "At least you'll be in good hands here, they'll know how to heal you." He smiled. "And I'll visit you every day, I promise."

I slowly smiled.

"I'll leave you two for now." The nurse left and that's when Luke looked at me, his expression serious.

"Listen, Blair, I know that what happened was my fault. Dean and his gang... They're bullies, I wanted to teach them a lesson for bullying one of my friends. And when that was a success, they felt the need to get revenge on me by hurting you."

I blinked, hurting me? I didn't even remember... Now I do wonder what they did...

He caressed my cheek. "I've told the police and the principal. They'll get their punishment for what they did to you. Don't you worry, ok?"

I nodded slowly.

He smiled and leaned in, hugging me. "I'm so happy to have you."

I smiled and closed my eyes, enjoying the hug.

Although it's funny how I first have to be beaten up almost to death for him to be with me, here.
