I was sitting outside, on the bench I 'magically' made a few weeks before, when I remembered every precious moment I had had with my brother.
The memories brought tears to my eyes. Me and my brother playing with action figures for hours on end, riding our bikes in the mountains doing daredevil stunts that would freak my mom out, or just staying up late talking about whatever. This is my relationship with my brother... or.... at least it used to be.
Remembering these memories and thinking about how much we used to laugh together made me feel even worse.
I could sense people looking at me and the professor in my head assessing my mental state, but all I wanted was to be alone, so I walked into the woods surrounding the grounds and blocked my mind as much as I could from the Professor.
Once I was a ways into the woods I sat down on a log a wept. I couldn't cope with all that had happened and the sharp pain in my stomach was getting worse and worse. I knew I had to calm myself down so I wouldn't open my wound back up; however I couldn't stop crying.
Eventually There was an outside force calming me down, but it wasn't the professor like I thought. There was blood staining my shirt and my breathing was becaming labored. I could feel the color draining from my face. It didn't hurt, but I knew if I didn't get help soon it would be fatal. The only problem was, I didn't want help.
I leaned up against a tree, looked at the sky, and thought.
Why shouldn't I just give up? It would be so easy, so painless. I wouldn't have to deal with my brothers betrayal, or the drama of the professor and Aric. I should just stay here and let it end.
I was ready to give in, but fate seemed to have a different idea.
"I won't let you go Marida. You have too much to live for." Aric picked me up in his strong arms, and quickly started heading back to the school.
"I have nothing left." I croaked out with my fading voice.
"You have me." Aric said with concern. Even through my foggy eyes I could see him blush. And then, everything went dark.
