Free Falling

Little Things

My eyes refused to open, my body refused to move. I was in so much pain, so sore, so tired. What day is it? What the hell happened last night? Even slightly moving my fingers sent pain shooting through my hand. There was a light knock on the door. "Come in." I croaked my throat straining at the mere words. I looked through the slits that were my eyes and saw Shane walking in with a tray of food. "Morning." He smiled at me like nothing was wrong. "What happened to me?" I asked faintly. "Last night was your first time really using your power and you did use a lot of it. I knew you would be sore today." He said lightly patting my knee as he sat at the edge of the bed. "You need to eat, it helps you regain power." He held a piece of toast infront of my face. "Help me sit up?" I asked him so that I could actually manage to eat the delicous looking piece of toast. Shane laid the tray of food onto my bedside table and grabbed my shoulders lightly lifting me up. The pain rushed through my body but I didn't let out a single whimper. "Seriously, once you eat you will get back to normal." He said giving me the toast. Right after I had taken my first bite my muscles started to untense and I could sit up straighter. 

After eating my giant breakfast I was practically normal, except I was still exhausted. Shane had left to go do something so I was left in the house by myself. I sat up cautiously and slid my feet off the edge of my bed. My door flew open and Shane came rushing in, "Don't move!!!" He said, roughly pushing me back onto my back. I was about to ask what the hell he was doing when he cut me off. "If you move around today than it will take you weeks to get back to fully normal. If you stay in bed today than using your powers in the future will not bother you nearly as much." He instructed me. I lightly rested my head against the pillow,  knowing it was best to follow his instructions. "But dont worry you wont be entirely bored, you will probably have a ton of visitors." He reassured me. "Speaking of which."  A voice came from the doorway and I saw the beaming face of Allen. "Allen!" I croaked/ screamed. He came running over and I could tell he finnaly wanted to give me that kiss but Shane was watching so....

He pulled me into the best hug he could manage while Shane slinked torwards the door. "I'm leaving you two alone, but not really... I will be watching." He threatend and shut the door leaving Allen and I alone at last. "Look at you, your so beatiful." Allen complimented me even though my hair was a mess, I had dirt smudged on my face, and I was in my pajamas. He climbed into the bed, cuddling next to me. One of my hands was inner-laced with his and his other hand was absent-mindly playing with my hair. "Last night was so crazy!" I commented. "I know, you saved my life." He said gazing lovingly into my eyes, my stomach did tons of flips. I didn't know how to answer that so I just smiled at him. "And the funny thing is is that I was struck by lightning and now perfectly fine, and you just used some of your power and your like dead." He teased me, squezzing my nose. "I know, maybe next time I won't save the whole school." I said sticking my tongue out. 

The door opened and a tall guy stood there. He looked at Allen first and Allen jumped off my bed. " I will come back soon, ok?" He asked me so I nodded. He left my room, bumping shoulders with the guy in the doorway who walked in. I recognized him, he was the guy that saved us! He took my chair from my desk and rolled it over to next to my bed, straddling it with the back support faced torwards me. "My names Mason." He stated almost dully, but getting right to the point. "Umm... Hey my names Sara." I told him carefully. " Last night was pretty amazing I have to admit." He told me, his facial expression unchanging. "Thanks." I said, I think thats what I was supposed to say. "Who exactly are you?" I asked, taking a brave step. " I am one of the leaders at the school. I am also assigned to protect you when Shane can't. We will be spending a lot of time together. " He said blantly. This guy had absolutely no personality. Actually that lost thought is wrong, I can tell he has personality, its just covered up. "Thats good to know, but how come I didnt get to meet you earlier?"  I wanted all the information.
