Loud screaming pierces through our ears the second we step into the mansion. There's only one person in this mansion.
"Adrian!" I dash up the stairs hoping I haven't lost the last bit of family I have.
Adrian is spasming, thrashing and screaming on the bed but what worries me most is that his eyes are still close. Is he still unconscious while all this is happening to him?
"Lucas call the fucking doctor! Joseph get the first aid kit in the twelfth spare room! Now!" Both boys scurry off to carry out my orders while Yanyan looks at me with huge eyes.
"How can I help?" I give him the most vital job.
"Be my shoulder to cry on? Please......."
He straddles me on his lap and I lay my head on his shirt clad shoulder. Suddenly everything pours out. All the frustration, exhaustion, fear, sadness everything. I've been through way too much emotional strain that no eighteen year old girl or any human at that should be subjected to.
"He-he. He's a-all I ha-have left Yan. I-i c-can't lose, lose h-him." My speech is impeded by pathetic sobs. All my emotions pouring out at once. I truly can't lose Adrian, he's my father, brother and best friend. He's been there for me through everything for seven years.
-Meanwhile In The Void-
Adrian's POV
I'm peacefully chilling in my imagined beach when I'm hit with a massive headache.
"What the fuck is this?" I hold my head as the pain becomes unbearable.
"What's happening?"
Oh. You're about to wake up.
"Does it always hurt this much?"
Yes, actually. It'll stop once you wake up.
"Then why the hell is it taking so long."
Because you're holding back.
I look at her in confusion. What does she mean I'm holding back.
You wanna remain in the void because you can envision the perfect life for yourself. Waking up and going back to the real world means facing problems and hardships. You know that and that's why a part of you wants to stay here.
I realize she's right. Some part of me wants to keep living this perfect life even though a part wants to go back.
I wanna write you awake but I can't force you. If I do you'll just die in a few days. You have to make a solid decision. Do you wanna go back or stay here? The pain will stop when you make a decision and you better hurry. You have to make this decision before the time I planned to wake you up, which is about in ten minutes.
The searing pain in my head continues. It intensifies with each passing moment and the continual of my indecisiveness.
A single word echoes through my mind. That word breaks all doubts and strengthens my resolve.
"I know what I want." The pain stops.
"I wanna....................."
A/N : Guess we'll find out Adrian's choice next chapter. It may not be the one we all expect. It all depends on the word that helped him make his choice..........
Cliffhangers are kinda fun 🙂
