Torn

Chapter nine

T-bags POV:

I held my jaw. Alex kept looking at me then nodded at something Michael told her. She relaxed and laid her head on Michael.

He moved his arms under her arms. I looked at everyone. "What just happened?" I asked confused.

Alex looked at me. "I snapped okay. It happens after what I've dealt with." She mumbled something incoherent.

Michael seemed shocked and looked at us. "It happened when she hit her head." We all looked at Alex who was asleep.

Michaels POV:

I could feel her shivering. "We should head out." Everyone nodded. I nudged Alex and she looked at me.

"Mmm." She mumbled. "We have to head out." She nodded and got up. I got up and went to her side.

We went out and Sucre kept looking behind him. "Alex looks so tired Mike." He said to me.

I looked behind me and saw Alex trying her best to stay awake. I smiled and went towards her.

I looked at her and turned around. "Get on my back." She got on and I stood up completely.

Her legs went around my waist and her arms were around my neck. Her head rested on my shoulders.

John looked at me. "She light?" I nodded. "Dammit Alex. Not again." I looked at him. "She has Anorexia. Well had it awhile back."

"I'll talk to her when she wakes up." He nodded.

1 hour later

I felt Alex waking up. "You guys go on ahead." They nodded. I stopped walking. I turned my head to face Alex.

"Hi." I smiled. "Hey." She lifted her head and got off my back rubbing her eyes. "We need to talk." I said.

She stopped rubbing her eyes and looked at me. She looked scared. "Okay." She whispered. I grabbed her hands and linked our fingers.

"It's nothing bad so don't worry." She nodded. "Why don't you eat?" She sighed and looked at the ground.

"Not hungry. I sorta forgot about it after awhile." She looked at me. "You're eating when we get some food." I said.

She nodded. I let go of her one hand and continued walking. She kept looking at the ground.

I squeezed her hand and she squeezed back. She looked up at me and smiled. "I know where we can go."

I looked at her. "Where?" "It's an old cabin of mine. It's big enough for all of us." She said enthusiastically.

Her ear twitched and she let go of my hand and ducked.

Your POV:

I ducked and brought the bat of my attacker to me. They tried to punch me but I caught their fist and brought them to the ground.

"Wow!" Someone said and I smiled. I looked at my attacker and saw my friend Lexi. "Lexi?" I was shocked.

"Yeah okay. I need the money so I'll turn you in." I shook my head. "Not happening." I turned around and walked off.

I can't trust anyone anymore cause they'll betray me. "Alex wait up." Lincoln yelled. I didn't.

I went over to a tree and started hitting it with the bat. After a few swings, I gave up. I threw the bat away.

I looked at my hands and started punching the tree. I heard everyone yelling at me to stop but I didn't.

My hands were numb when I stopped and I was breathing hard now. I went down to my knees and heard people shuffling.

"Alex look at me." Michael said. "Up ahead is the cabin I was talking about." I said in a whisper.

Michael picked me up and looked at the others. "Follow me." We walked until the cabin came into sight.

I smiled. My hands were hurting a lot now. "There's a key somewhere." I looked around at a old tree.

"Put me down." Michael put me down and I went over to the tree. I started climbing to the top and found a box.

"Alex come down here." Michael called. I just rolled my eyes and grabbed the key in the box.

I was making my way down when I slipped on a branch. I was almost to the ground when someone caught me.

Lincoln's POV:

I looked at Michael. "She shouldn't be climbing a tree when her hands are numb." He only nodded.

"I know." I looked in the tree and saw Alex slipping. I ran under her and caught her. She was panicking.

Michael came over and looked at her. "Alex calm down. Your fine." She nodded and stood up.

She walked to the door and unlocked it. I could tell that it hurt her to move her hands. She walked in the cabin with us following.

She went into a room and came back out with a box. She went to the table and opened the box and looked at us.

"What? I'm fixing up my hand." Everyone went off and did their own thing while Michael went towards Alex.
