I awoke to the sound of a hospital monitor beeping. I turn my head and find two people sitting in chairs sleeping. I realise that they are my best friends. Zac is snoring loudly, and Eva is just dozing peacefully. Lloyd walks in and notices that I'm awake. Eva wakes with a start, muttering something about a guy stealing her rainbow unicorn. Zac yawns and rubs his eyes. Eva runs up to me and hugs me tightly. "We thought we had lost you!" She explains and hugs me more. I hug back gently and sit up. "Leo, I must explain something" Lloyd says gently. "You lost one of your legs in combat and we had to replace it with a robotic one. You will not be able to do athletic things anymore, the leg will break. I'm sorry, but you will not be able to run anymore". I lay back down and close my eyes. My kids. I can't even play with my kids. Just because of a kid that I saved when I was seventeen that turned out to be a traitor. As if reading my mind, Eva spoke to me and said "Josh killed Thomas, he had to finish what you started. The man who crippled you for life is now dead, the apocalypse is over, we are on earth right now". My eyebrows go up. "We're on earth?! Awesome!" I shout and fist pump the air. "Your parents are looking after Lucy and Peter. They want to know everything that happened. So do the media. We've had to stay in here to escape the media. They are swarming us like Hawks whenever we step outside. You've been in a coma for a few days, but you'll be fine" Eva reported. I threw the covers off myself and stared at my metal leg. This was going to be hard. But at least the world was saved and everyone was ok. That's when I remembered the sword girl, she had been cut in half by Thomas. I took a moment in silence for the girl. I never even knew her name or where she came from. The rest of my friends had gone to spend time with their parents. Zac, Eva and I were all orphans. We had no knowledge of life before being seven years of age. All of us had suffered amnesia and had a desire to know more about ourselves. We had chosen to move on from the past and focus on the present. My feet hit the ground and I stood up. Perfect balance. Josh walked into the room and hugged me. "I thought you were dead! You're the closest thing I have to a brother and I couldn't bear losing you. Thomas is dead, in my rage, I killed him brutally. Eva explained the fight with a high amount of detail. Josh had pinned Thomas to the wall, punched him over and over again until is mouth was full of blood, thrown a grenade inside Thomas's mouth and kicked him out a window. Thomas had exploded. And taken out half of the alien ship. Josh barely got out with me over his shoulder and Eva running behind him. They had somehow made it to the plane and collapsed there. When Lloyd saw me, he began to operate on my leg, the surgery had taken twelve hours in total. Apparently I had almost died halfway through and Eva had almost gone insane. Lucy, being the clever girl she is, had figured out everything that had been happening and was asking heaps of questions. Eva hugged me again and tears began to fall from her eyes. I looked into her amazing eyes and said. "Nothing could stop my love for you. I've died, I've been put into a game where if you die it's all over, gone through horde after horde of aliens, killed countless amounts of beings, been ripped apart, had my leg replaced and found out that I had telepathic powers. And through all that, the only thing that kept me sane, was my love for you. I love you Eva, more than anything else, and I would do anything to make you happy" and with that, she kissed me. Over the years of knowing her, I had never had a kiss from her that was this passionate, I guess we can't really sum up how much we love each other with words.
