Choices

Chapter 44

I'm writing this on my new computer! With my new computer there comes me playing The Sims! I'm trying to recreate how I see everyone in the book and I hope that you'll like my creations as well! Each chapter I'll post a new person as well as some text to go with it! The song is Awake and Alive by Skillet!

(Hopes POV)

     Darkness was surrounding me, I couldn't even see in front of me. I felt someone wrap their arms around me like they were giving me a hug. I hug the person back, hoping that if I do, that the darkness will go away and I'll be able to see. I look up at the person and see white light start to surround us, I was hugging Craig.

     "Everything is going to be alright, I promise you." He said as he laid his chin on top of my head. I go into his chest more as I hug him tighter.

     The hugging feeling went away and I heard the familiar heart monitor go off with each heartbeat. At least I'm not dead thankfully. I slowly open my eyes, and sure enough, I'm in a hospital room, but how long was I out for exactly?

     Without moving my head, I dart my eyes to the corner of the room and see Craig and Brian on their phones, not talking to each other. I look around the room some more, expecting to see Evan but he's nowhere in sight.

     "Hey, there she is," Brian says lightly. I look over at him and see him getting up from his chair, Craig doing the same. They both give me a smile as they stand at the foot of my bed.

     "Don't worry, you've only been out for a day and a half. Didn't miss too much now." Craig says, chuckling at the end.

     "How's Brock and Del and everyone else?" I ask softly. Brian pulls his chair closer to the bed and sits in it.

     "Delirious got out yesterday, he's at home with Autumn resting. Brock is fine, he's been staying at the warehouse with everyone else." Brian says as he and Craig share a worried glance at each other. Something's up, and I don't know if I should investigate it further or just leave it be.

     "Evan was in here yesterday, only for a little bit though because of... do you want to tell her?" Craig says looking over at Brian. I tightly shut my eyes after hearing his name, he basically made his choice, he was the one that put me in here.

     "We have a SPECIAL visitor that's being held hostage at the warehouse. If you guess right you'll win a trip out of here!" Brian exclaims. I wanted to sink down in the bed, instead, I just gave them both a pained look.

     "Now I don't want to leave here. The hospital has suddenly become a safe place." I turned my head away from them and wanting to go back to sleep.

     "Hey, we'll be right back. I just remembered that we had to call Evan when you woke up alright?" Brian says. I quickly look at them.

     "I don't want you to tell him!" I practically yell out, although the way it came out didn't make it seem like I was yelling it. Brian holds his hand on the door handle and stares at me.

     "Then we won't call him till you feel comfortable too, but I need to talk to Craig privately, okay?" Brian gives me a reassuring smile and I watch both of them walk out of the room.

(Craigs POV)

     "I get why she's mad," I say as Brian closed the door. "The fucker still fucking cares about the psychopath. I watched him lower his gun, unable to kill Sydnee when he had the perfect moment too, right in front of Hope. Then that's when Sydnee took the opportunity and shot Hope. Right in front of Evan, Brock, and I. Evan went after Sydnee instead of... you know seeing if Hope was alright after getting shot in the stomach." I was starting to get pissed all over again. And the thing is, Brian and I have been with Hope more then Evan has, it makes me sick.
