Chapter 9 - Back in the game?

❄Preston's POV❄

I opened my eyes and found myself in a different room.

This isn't the arena. Why am I on a bed? Why is there a heater next to me? What happened? Why am I in here? Where am I? But most of all, Where is Rob?

I stood up into a sitting position, making me put my hand on my forehead. Oooh, blood rush. I winced at the sudden pain in my head, making me shut my eyes in pain.

"Preston, lay down. You need to rest more." Kara instructed, walking towards me, and placed her hand on my chest and the other on my forehead, and she laid me down. How is she even take the heat when she's near me? Maybe because I'm not in the right temperature, that's why. And there is a heater beside me, it feels good though.

I tried to speak, and I remembered that I still can't talk due to forcing my tonsils to scream, talk loudly, and shout alot, even though it's already damaged. My pretty, precious, wonderful voice... Gone.

"Oh, I forgot that you can't speak right now, Devon (Turq) told me that you messed up your own vocal chords." She spoke in a soft voice. I always knew that she's a shy one, and her voice can be a bit soft than a normal girl has. "Here, I'll lend you my phone, and you go type there on what you have to say, and we'll talk that way, okay? You understood?"

I nodded and she lend me her phone and I started typing. She's lucky I'm a fast typer.

'Is UHC going on right now?'

"Well, I would say yes, it is, and it's been going on now for quite a while now."

I frowned, everyone knows that I really wanted to compete this event, with Rob. And my chance just messed up, and all I can hope for is for Rob to be alright without me.

'How did I end up here? Also, can you read lips without voice coming out or nah?"

"Rob told Turq to teleport you here. Turq told me everything, since he can see everything. Turq told me that you mindlessly wandered off away from Rob and he even need to tp him to you, and said you were unconscious, so Rob went solo, and kept the team name so when he wins, he will be winning for you." Kara paused, and went to get something from the microwave.

"And also, nah, I can't read lips. I know no one that is mute, so I wasn't able to learn, but Brandon knows how, maybe he could teach me." She finished. "Here," She said, getting a bowl of soup from the microwave next to the desk that is beside the bed. "You'll get better faster." She smiled warmly. I haven't felt that in a while now, warmth. Maybe it's because of my cold, and it sucks. I actually don't have an appetite right now, but if it means of getting better, and for Rob, then I will.

I tried eating, but it ended up just me eating three scoops of soup, it wasn't warm enough for me, but for everyone else, it would be boiling hot, but it did help. And it seems that Kara is happy for me too, seeing me better already. "It's okay, Preston, you don't need to force yourself into eating." She chuckled, as she noticed that I am forcing myself to eat, I am doing this for Rob, though. I shook my head, and tried to continue eating... or as well drinking, it is soup. It is a liquid.

I flailed my arms to get Kara's attention, I need to ask her something, and she's currently using her phone, probably she's on social media websites. [cough twitter cough]

She looked at me with raised eyebrows, "Yes, what is it Preston?"

I glared at her, and she noticed that we have nothing to communicate with.

"Oh, oops, here."

'CAN I STILL COMPETE?'

I showed her the question and she looked at me with a pout on her face. "You don't need to write in caps lock, ya know." She chuckled, as I grinned as I indeed noticed that it was on caps lock.
