Asleep- The First Book in the Asleep Series

Chapter 14

-Petra

     I repeated what Doctor Williams had said tome. Again and again. I clenched my fists in my lap and with shaking hands, I played the guitar. Begin, by Elliot Middleton. Again and again. 

  Jesse had... I strummed again. Jesse. I closed my eyes. How could he turn out to be someone who I don't know existed to the one who truly mattered?   

  "Petra Jackson?" Doctor Williams had said and he brought me to the side of Axel's room. Jesse was in another room. "Jesse..." the doctor scratched his head. I felt the urge to just grab the papers out of his hands and read them.

  "Jesse has a disease called... melangeltauris." (pronounced, mel-angel-tauris, made up name by forever_jetra so don't find it in a dictionary) I bit my lip.

  "And there's no cure." How? How did he become like this?

  Why did I care for a boy who I just met? I set down my guitar and waited. Axel was in bed. In a coma. Olivia was sleeping and I was waiting for something I couldn't name.  

    I tasted the tears before I felt them. I looked at the window. My reflection. All I saw was a girl, with dark eyes looking back at me. Calm down. I looked at my hands. The hands that played a thousand songs. 

  I decided to looked for Jesse. Maybe I was dreaming.When I wake up, I'll believe that Jesse didn't have melangeltauris. If I didn't know that I was falling in love with Jesse, I knew now. I wanted to see his eyes again. Hold his hand. Make sure that he was going to live, even if I lose him.

-Jesse

I woke up to blinding light. I felt like someone just threw a bag of rocks at my head. I reached up and touched my head. Bandages?What happened? Did I have an accident? I looked around as I sat up. A hospital room greeted me as I regarded the pristine white walls. Carefully, I got down from the bed. Barefooted and cold, I crossed over to the door. Why wasn't there anyone? 

  I pushed open the door and realized that I had to pull it. Damn it Jesse. What''s wrong with you? I pulled it open and stepped outside and into a bustling hallway. I waited, hoping that my memories would come back... Reuben... Axel... and Olivia. Petra. I knew who to find.

I stared at the phone in my hand. Jesse's phone. Carefully, I turned it on. A password? I leaned against the wall and tried to think of the possible passwords. Reuben? No. Jesse? (Stupid, I know) Then I tried... and it unlocked. I felt a lump in my throat. The password was my name.
