Darkness Falls (NO LONGER UPDATING)

Chapter Eight

 I dreamt of before. The good days when I was little, the bad days too. What used to seem so foggy I could now remember so clearly.

"Boys! Come and get your breakfast!" Mom yelled. My brother and I ran down the stairs.

"Do I get some food too?" Asked my Dad sarcastically.

"Nope." My mom said. Popping the P. My dad slumped his shoulders.

Then the memory changed.

"Icarus! It's time to go to baseball practice!" My dad yelled. I ran down the stairs wearing my baseball cap and carrying a bat.

"But dad. I am hungry." I said to him.

"I've got you covered." He said winking. I smiled and then took off out the door.

The memory changed again.

"You're just a nobody!" Yelled a bully.

"You're just a bully who thinks he's better than everyone else!" Yelled my brother.

Then the memory cut to the bully pounding my face in.

I woke up with a gasp. The cold sweat coated the sheet and pillow that I was in. I looked around. I was still in the apocalypse. Then I remembered what I saw before I blacked out, and how I blacked out. The explosion which had knocked me unconscious. I felt my stomach. The bandages that were wrapped around me were tidy and neat, and blood soaked. I felt my face. The scratch across my face was scabbed over. 

I sat there, studying my self for a while. Then the door opened. An unfamiliar face was revealed. She walked in and looked at me. When she saw that I was up she ran out of the room. I sat there confused for around 5 minutes. Then everyone walked in. Everyone, even the kitchen lady. They came in and looked at me, Ava came forward first. She looked at me and then in split second she was next to my bed hugging me. When she let go she looked at me. Holding my face in between her hands. Tears formed in her eyes.

"I thought you weren't going to wake up." She said.

I looked at her. Not knowing what to do I leaned in. Our lips met. They tasted like wine or some sort of alcohol. The warmth of my face was shown in different shades of redness. She slowly pulled her face away from mine. Everyone else who was in the room were going "Awww." and I just smiled with happiness. 

"H.. How long was I out?" I asked.

"5 Days." Ava said.

Five days wasn't bad. It must have felt like forever to her. I tried to stand up. When I did I got dizzy and put my hand on the wall to steady myself. 

"You should take it easy for a couple more days." Ava said.

I nodded and then went to my room. In there were notes on my bed. Not bothering to read them I took them and put them in my closet. I grabbed a gray long sleeve shirt and some jeans. Then I went to the bathrooms. I looked at my face in the mirror. The long scratch on my cheek had already healed a little bit. Leaving a pinkish skin. It was going to scar for sure. That would be badass, I could tell people I got into a fight with a bear.

I undressed and stepped into the shower, turning on the water. It started out cold and felt great. Once the heat came it hurt my stomach. I turned it to warm and continued my shower. I sung one of my favorite songs while taking a shower. I stood in the shower for well over 30 minutes. Letting the blood and sweat wash off my body. Once the water started turning cold I turned the shower off and dried myself. I then put on my clothes. I went back to my room and laid down. 

I got to my room and started looking at the notes. "Get well soon!" or "Hope you feel better" were the main vibes and messages. Typical notes. I laid down on my bed. I felt more tired than ever even though I had been sleeping for five days. I closed my eyes and drifted away.

When I woke up the light was shining through the skylight right into my face. I looked around my room. Yawning and stretching I sat up. I looked at my feet, which still had my boots on them. I was so tired I fell asleep with shoes on. Stretched my arms then my legs and then got up out of bed. My head hurt really bad. It felt as though someone was repetitively jabbing a spear through my head. I then grabbed a granola bar and started eating it. I was living the dream...
