A Reunion Between A Lost Pair

Chapter 16- Blur of images

Chapter 15

Michael's POV

Images flashed.

There was the ball. I went.

We laughed.

Then there was the note.

Panic.

Ritchie.

We danced.

His smile.

I was happy.

He's concerned.

So am I.

Why am I concerned?

Its blurry.

I'm gone.

Why did I leave?

Flash.

I'm on the roof.

Crash.

Ritchie's scared.

Hurt.

Who hurt him?

I don't like them.

I'm gone.

It's dark.

Who's that?

They sound nice.

Ritchie.

Hug?

No hug.

Why no hug?

Oh, we're sad.

Why are we sad?

Darkness.

Comfort.

It's gone.

Red.

So much red.

We're fighting.

We must be in danger.

Fight back.

Oh, look Ritchie's here.

Good.

He must be helping.

Attack bad guy though.

Protect us.

Darkness again.

My head hurts. I feel dizzy.

I feel pain. Everywhere hurts, my head especially.

What happened?

There's a ringing.

What is that sound?

Is that in my ear?

Oh gods, it is. What did I do?

I remember the fight.

Who was I fighting again?

Ritchie will know, he always does. I'll just ask him.

He was there wasn't he?

I think so.

My gods, why can't I remember?

Okay.

Darkness. That's a problem.

I opened my eyes, squinting to adjust to the light.

Most of what I could see was a blur. There's someone next to me.

I'm in the med bay?

Oh no, Ritchie's going to murder me again. Why am I here?

Wait.

Why am here?

I need to go.

Ok, let's get up-

Why am I not getting up?

There's something there.

It won't let me go up.

No.

I have to get up.

I have to find Ritchie.

Must tell him.

Why can't I get up?

It's holding me down.

My wrists.

My ankles.

No.

That's not meant to be the case.

Try again.

Use more force.

Must get up.

Now it's on my shoulder.

It's pushing me down.

There's a new noise.

Its loud.

Familiar maybe.

Nice sound.

I like that sound.

Wait, I know that sound.

Calm.

We like that sound.

Don't need to get up if that sounds here.

Wait, why?

Ritchie.

Breathe.

It is Ritchie.

I can see him now.

The blurs gone.

He's crying.

Why's he crying?

"what happened?"

Was that me?

I sound weird.

Oh, now we're hugging.

This is nice.

So, for anyone confused, this is currently Michael's thought process- during and after the ball. I just thought I'd clarify that because it seems like a stupid chapter otherwise, and I wanted to do Ritchie's perspective separately. 

That's all I've got to say, bye <3
