Torn

Chapter seven

Your POV:

I zoned back in and looked at Michael. I have no idea what happened but he looked concerned.

"Alex you good?" I just nodded and stood up. I yawned and looked around. It's pitch black out and cold.

I'm only in a t-shirt and pants. Someone tapped my shoulder and I looked. I saw Sucre looking at me.

"Come on chika." I nodded and followed him back to the barn we were in before. I sat in a corner with my knees pulled up to my chest.

I closed my eyes and listened to the conversations that were going on. "You need to explain John." Michael said.

"Paul and Alex grew up together until he framed her. She grew up with me as well. Every time I would see her she would have cuts on her."

I fixed myself and laid down of the cold floor. "What do you mean cuts?" Lincoln asked. "Her wrists would be covered as well as her ankles."

I moved my hand to my wrist that had the scars. "She would also visit with a black eye or bruises all across her body."

Someone stood up and walked closer to me.

Michaels POV:

I walked towards Alex and sat down near her head. I picked her up and placed her head on my lap.

I grabbed her hand and intertwined our hands. She was freezing. I looked at everyone. "She's ice cold right now."

They came over and knelt down beside her. She turned her head away from me and moved her body.

Her shirt came up and I saw a new bruise on her side. She kept moving and fell off my lap. Her head hit the ground and she jumped up.

She looked around and looked at me then at Sucre. "qué diablos pasó?" (What the hell happened?)

She rubbed her head. "saliste de la vuelta de Michael." (You rolled off of Michaels lap.)

She nodded then looked confused. She walked around. We all stood up and went towards her.

She was shaking. Tweener went towards her and tried to talk to her. She looked at him then shoved him away.

I walked towards her and put my hands on her shoulders. She looked at me then at the ground.

Everyone looked at me then at Alex. She moved my hands and went and sat in a corner.

"me estoy congelando." (I'm freezing.) She said. Sucre went towards her and sat beside her.

She looked at me. I walked towards her and sat beside her. Sucre looked at me. "She's freezing Michael."

I moved her towards my chest. He was right. She is colder than before. I put my head on hers and looked at everyone.

"We'll grab jackets and things in the morning." Everyone nodded and situated themselves on he floor.

4 hours later:

Your POV:

I woke up and moved out of Michaels grip. I made my way towards the door of the barn and left.

I need to find a jacket for all of us. I'm also going to get a pencil sharpener to get the blade out of.

I walked to a little store about 30 minutes away and went in. "Stay alert for the 5 people who broke out of Fox river."

I looked at the tv and saw all our pictures on there. I went to the back and grabbed the sharpener.

I went down more rows and found jackets. I grabbed one for all the guys but had to stop when police went in the store.

I went out the door and ran as fast as I could. I could hear the police sirens in the distance. "I have to make it back."

Paul came out of nowhere and tried to shoot me but I dodged them and continued to run. I could see the barn in the distance.

I ran in and shut the door. I was breathing heavily now and coughing. Someone came behind me and tapped me on the shoulder.

I looked and saw Michael. "We... have... to... run... now." I said trying to catch my breath. I passed him a jacket as well as the others.

"What about you?" Michael asked. I just looked at him. "I'll be fine." I lied. He caught my lie but ignored it.

We went out the door and came face to face with Paul. It was getting hard to breathe. Not another panic attack.

Sucres POV:

Alex stood there looking at Paul. I went towards her and made her face me. She was having trouble breathing.

T-bag came out of nowhere and jumped Paul. I picked Alex up bridal style and ran with the others behind.

We went a fair distance till we stopped. I set Alex down and she looked around. She ran off in the woods and Michael followed.

Michaels POV:

I followed her in the woods and she knew that too. She took many turns and lost me. I looked around for 10 minutes then went back to everyone.

They all looked at me. "I can't find her." I went and sat under a tree. How did this happen? "It's my fault."
