Tripped up Stripes

Chapter8- Alana

Well we're not going to be talking about that to other people. I rest my head on his shoulder, " Jacob would kill me and you both if he knew we did that." I smile. "Not like he'll find out, us even together is a secret. But not everything stays a secret forever Alana." he answers me quietly, "But this will." I remember the call I got. "Wander who it was that called me?" I say, I pick up my phone," Bj. Twice." "Shouldn't be much. Should we go somewhere or stay here?" he asks me. I begin to redress,"doesn't matter to me." I answer.

27minutes later we had decided that go horse riding. Why, I don't know. Guess the idea of a criminal girl and her boyfriend out in a field somewhere riding horses sounding like an interesting thing to do. Most of my hair back in a ponytail, I help get the horses ready. Matt helps me up on my horse, like I needed it but it was very nice of him. My horse Amberlight, went out first, then Matt's horse, Rosevine after us. "Bet I can go faster than you," I smile, ready to run. "We'll see," he takes off. I speed past him, I laugh happily. Slowing enough to let him catch up and we burn the field. "Whaho!" I scream over the pounding of hooves. By the time we're done it won't even look like a field. "Now I get why you're always out here!" Matt yells. "Yup!" I yell back. I feel invincible right now, like nothing on this earth could stop me.

My heads hurting for some reason. I slow down to a stop. Matt stops. I have to get off, I slowly get off Amberlight. " You alright?" He asks. I fall to the ground, in pain. My whole body feels like needles are stuck threw every cell in it. I feel Matt picking me up, which makes me hurt more. What the hell! I can't talk, I can't move, can't breath, I can't see or hear. Such shape pain. I feel my self pass out from it.

A picture comes into focus, the eyes. The outline of the figure in the tree. Whispers come from nowhere," you live my child, only because I know who you are." I jolt awake, breathing hard. The pain is gone, I can see and hear again. I realize I'm in a hospital bed. Matt and Jacob sit in chairs looking at me. " You ok? You had me worried." Matt asks, I can tell by the look in his eyes he thought I was dead. I shake my head," yeah I'm fine." I answer him. Jacob looks at me as if I was crazy in o say this," you weren't breathing for 47 damb minutes!" "well I'm fine now!" You would think the brother of a dead sister would be happy she was alive. I jump up and hug Matt," I missed you." he whispers so quietly I can barely hear him. I turn to my brother. " You had a fake name to be in here. They have no idea what happened or what caused it. They just knew you were dying. And quickly." he says. He looks at the floor, " I don't know what I would have done if you died. Ya little boyfriend over here worried as much as me. Yeah, I know." he finishes and stands up. "Plan on keeping my mouth shut don't worry," he smiles, I hug him.

when are we going home?" I ask them. Jacob looks around, there's a window?" " See ya in like 2minutes." I answer and climb out the window.
