AN- I do not own any of the books or the characters. They all belong to the author Allie Condie. I would like some comments or suggestions on the next chapter! ENJOY!
Chapter 2
I gasp as I jolt forward from my dream. I take a deep breath in and exhale out loudly. My head stings from a ragging pain. A headache, I think to myself. I rub my head and moan from excruciating pain. It feels as if my head is burning. The sensation reminds me of the dream. No. Not a dream. A nightmare. I rub my head again and crawl out of bed. I call for my mom to bring me some water and a cold rag to rest on my head. She came in with a worried look on her face. Her eyes looked red. I didn't ask because I already knew the answer. Mom didn't like when Bram or I ask questions if we already know the answer.
She set the water on my bedside table and made me get back into bed. I was sitting in floor next to my queen size bed. She places the rag on my forehead and takes my temperature with a weird looking instrument. She leans down and whispers that I have a fever and needs some sleep. I nod, which caused my rag to slide down the left side of my pale face. She grabs the rag quite quickly. I was surprised at this action. She fixed the cold rag on my head and leans down once more and told me she loved me. Weak, I said I loved her too.
After a few hours had pasted, I was eating soup; which was a small portion. My mind wandered off to Ky. I feel sick to my stomach, because I am guilty. Guilty of deceiving people of love. I set the soup off to the side and take the pen and paper from my bedside table. Still sitting in my comfortable bed, I began to write. Not to my mom, dad, Bram, or even Ky. But to Xander. Because he needs to know everything, now.
