Fallen

For a moment nothing makes sense. Darkness surrounds me and I can't seem to focus on anything. What happened? I hear something but I can't make out what it is. The noise gets louder and louder.

"Emilia?!" It's a voice...and it's yelling my name? Why is it so loud? Some of the fog clears and I'm acutely aware of the throbbing pain in my head. I feel myself rocking back and forth causing the pain to violently course throughout my body.

"Ow," I groan, finally finding my voice.

"Emilia, are you okay? Open your eyes, talk to me." I realize now that it's Mr. Jensen's voice and he's gently shaking me as if to wake me up. I must've passed out.

His hand trails down from my face to my neck and he bends over, his face inching towards mine with his dark eyes on my lips. Before our lips touch, he lets out a sigh. "You need to stop doing this to me."
