I open my eyes, and there she is, with her mouth on mine, and my eyes fill with tears of joy. I lose all recollection of the bug fight, the pain, even of her running away from me. She is perfect, and I couldn't ask for anything more.
"Hey!" I hear from another world, "Stop! She needs to rest!" and then Brianna is pulled off me, and a whimper escapes my lips. Brianna is replaced by Lana (she keeps her distance), and her healing hands are on my stomach, creating a scab of the gash there.
"Brianna…" I say before pain and Dahra's pills pull me under again.
