The Lost One

Chapter 28

~Nate's POV~

I woke up on Pan's couch where I fell asleep. I sat up and turned my head. I jolted my head back and winced in pain. Slept funny I guess. I hate neck aches. I used to get them when I lived in the woods with my baby brother. I miss him. He and Amber were the only people I had. I felt a hot tear trickle down my cheek. My face fell to my knees and I began bawling my eyes out.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I picked up my head to see Felix. My eyes widened and anger washed through me. I slapped him across the face making him fall to the floor. He held the side of his face.

"What the fuck was that for. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the couch." He joked, still holding his red face. I punched him until he was knocked out cold on the ground. I looked at him and then looked at my hands. I realized what I just did.

"Oh my god." I whispered, looking at beaten up Felix. "I'm a monster." I knelt down by Felix.

"Come on. Come on. Wake up please." I whispered, continuously shaking Felix's cold, hard body. I heard movement over by the bed. Oh crap. I panicked and grabbed a blanket and threw it over Felix. I stood there awkwardly but casually. Amber's eyes flickered open and I small smile plastered over her face. I smile back.

"Good morning sunshine." I say, laughing a little. She laughed.

"Good morning but I'm no sunshine." She said looking at the blanket I put over Felix. "Why is that on the ground?"

"Oh um I guess I fell off the bed. That's why my neck hurts. Duh." I said, slapping my forehead.

"Nate come here." Amber demands, but in a sweet tone. I walk over to her and she places her hand on my forehead. "Nate are you feeling alright."

"Couldn't be better." I smile and laugh, obviously sounding like I'm hiding something.

"Um ok. Do you know where Peter is?" She questioned, sitting up more. I glanced behind her to see a pillow in place of Pan. I wonder where he is. That doesn't matter right now. What matters is Felix and how I'm supposed to explain what happened.

"Why does it look like there is a body under there?" Amber points out, pushing the blanket off of her legs. She slowly gets up. She takes a small step closer to me and I step back. Every step she takes I take a step back. I trip over Felix and fell on my butt.

"Are you ok?" She asked reaching for my hand. I grabbed her hand and she pulled me to my feet. She knelt down and began pulling off the blanket, revealing the face of Felix. She gasps.

"Did Peter do this? I sware if he did-"

"No, Amber. I did." I said dropping to my knees. "I don't know what happened to me." I began to cry. She rubbed my back as tears fell from my eyes to the ground.

"Shhh it's ok Nate. You didn't mean to." She softened her tone. I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked up at her. She smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"You are like the big sister I never had." I stated, sniffling.

"You are like the little bro I never I had." She said pulling away from me. A small smile came upon my face as I looked into her eyes. "Now tell me what happened."

My smile faded as I looked down at my hands, fidgeting with my fingers. I sighed and spoke up.

"Well Felix was the one who told me to run. All of the anger I held back when I came back here got out of control. So I kinda sorta beat Felix up." I said, still fidgeting with my fingers.

"Wow a little 10 year old boy can beat up an 18 year old boy. Pretty impressive if I must say so myself." She said, staring at Felix. She patted my back and then fully pulled the blanket off of Felix.

"Peter won't get mad at you." She said attempting to pull Felix towards Pan's bed. I grabbed his other arm and pulled him with her. When we got him on the bed, we both flop on the couch and started panting.

"Damn, pretty heavy for a skinny 18 year old." She said, continuing breathing heavily. I nodded my head and walked into the small little kitchen for some water. I brought some for Amber too. When I walked back in the room Amber and Pan were basically making out. I dropped the glasses of water and ran back in the kitchen in disgust. I gagged over the sink.

"Are you alright Nate?" Pan asked, stepping into the kitchen. I shook my head no. He chuckled. I starting to throw up into the sink. He patted my back as I continued. I wiped my mouth with paper towel when I was finished vomiting. I straighten my back and immediately regretted it when I fell backwards. I tried standing up again but I just fell back again.

Blackness surrounded the outside of my eyes about to take me over. Amber running up to me wast the last thing I saw before everything turned into darkness.
