Chapter 2 Waiting isn't my forte :(
I didn't know what I was getting myself into, I wasn't prepared for this, not like my parents were. Maven was out to kill me because of my parents, now I know, he did kidnap my parents. I didn't know if he did or did not kill them, I would never know.
My hearing started coming back, there was beeping, and silence. I felt a hand inside of mine, it was warm, and kinda sweaty,
the door creaked open, "Is she awake yet?" Tony asked,
"I don't think so." It was Tyler, he was the one holding my hand,
"This is all my fault, I should have protected her."
"By keeping her locked up in a tower?"
"Actually that isn't a bad idea."
I felt a throbbing pain in my head and I groaned,
"Tori?" Tony asked.
Tyler let go of my hand and a different hand grabbed it, probably Tony's, "My-head-hurts." I mumbled,
"I'll go get some aspirin." Tyler said.
The door creaked again then shut, "Next-time-I-stay-home." I said, I kept my eyes shut but I was sure Tony smiled,
"Thank you for agreeing with me."
"I-wasn't-ready... I'm-not-the-hero-type." I said, my breathing still uneven,
"It's not your fault, it's mine, I should have trained you to use your powers better and train you to be a hero, like your parents."
"I'm-not-my-parents-Tony." I sighed. I couldn't understand how my parents could save the world, my mom started saving the world when she was only five, I'm sixteen and can't even save a city! Thinking about it made my head hurt even more, "Where's-Tyler?" I groaned,
"Just hang on."
I groaned again, "Tony-it-hurts."
"I know it does, you'll have to wait." he said
Waiting was not my forte, I was a very impatient person. Finally the door creaked again, " I've brought extra-strength Tylenol and some water."
"Bring-it-here." I said sitting up. The water was cold and made me feel better, I opened my eyes and squinted, the sunlight shone through the open window. I sat up more and rubbed my eyes, "How long was I playing sleeping beauty for?"
"Like, a day... it wasn't that long." Tyler said,
"What happened to..."
"She got away." Tony said,
"I can't believe I was so stupid to not know that she was Maven's daughter."
"It's ok..."
"We should have stopped her, she'll be back." I said interrupting Tony,
"There wasn't much you could do, she poisoned you."
"We have to stop her."
"You're not doing anything until you get out of here."
"Which will be?"
"I don't know."
"UGH!" I leaned back onto my pillow. Waiting wasn't my forte, I know I've said it before, but it really isn't.
Hours passed and Tony left to go somewhere, leaving me with Tyler, "Listen, this isn't going to work out." I said reading through a magazine,
"What do you mean?" he asked,
"Us, we're not going to work out."
"Are you saying that you're breaking up with me?"
"Tyler, we weren't even dating." I said,
"Are you saying you don't love me?"
"I love you, yes, but I'm saying we should just be friends."
"You're friend-zoning me?" he asked sounding hurt,
"Sorry." I said still looking at the magazine.
Friend-zoning Tyler was the hardest thing I could have ever done in my life... Ever! Sure, I loved him, but I had other things to worry about right now. He left me alone in the hospital room all by myself, I probably needed some time away from people, time to think about A) how we are going to find Lisa... er, Mackenzie, and B) Do I want Tyler close to me, to only have him break my heart?
Did I break his? Does he love me enough to understand that friend-zoning would be best? Thinking about it made something hurt, but it wasn't my head, the pain radiated in my chest and it made breathing harder and my heartbeat go faster, I didn't know what was going on, my vision started blurring and then I blacked out.
What happened to me? Was I dead? I've never died before... Blacked out? Yes, but never died. At least, I don't think I've died, that was something I should think about in the future. My life seemed so complicated when in reality it wasn't I didn't have to do anything, I relied on Tony my whole life, he did everything for me. Why was I so unhappy? A question I often asked myself when I was in my room drawing pictures or reading my books.
Slowly I could feel myself regain consciousness, I coughed and opened my eyes, "Did I die?" I asked myself,
"Almost."
I looked up to see Tony back in the room, he was looking at some papers, "What happened?" I asked sitting up,
"The doctors didn't really say, they said it was some sort of heart attack and they want to keep you here for a few extra days."
"Are you for real?"
"Yes I am." I sighed and leaned back onto my pillow. It wasn't fair that my body was treating me like this, I've treated it good all of these years, I've never fed it meat, and kept myself away from sick people, I swear it wants to die.
It was 10:30pm when Tony turned on the news, I was doing some homework that he picked up from school, I had a feeling that I wasn't going to be there in a while. In Trig we were learning about cosines, in history we were learning about World War 1, and in English we were reading Lord of The Flies, which was kinda boring. They talked about the weather which was supposed to be sunny all week, then they went to breaking news, "Earlier today firefighters reported to a fire that happened at the local high school..." That caught my attention so I looked up from my homework, "Authorities say that this may have been arson, the fire broke out in the gymnasium but didn't spread far and was contained, we talked to the superintendent about the situation."
The screen changed and showed Mr. Stanton (the superintendent), "The fire broke out at 11:30 this morning, luckily no one was hurt, but we suspect foul play here."
"Not much more was said on the subject, but authorities are under investigation right now." They went on to another subject,
"Foul play?" I asked looking over at Tony,
"I went down there today, it was pretty bad."
"Something bad is going on, and I think I know who's behind it."
