sorry for taking so long had exams, anyway heres the next chapter :)
Chapter Twelve – "It's Coming Back."
Rachel caught her brother as he fell,
"Zeke!" she screamed, "Zeke! Can you hear me?" It was Declan's room all over again…
He mumbled something and slowly opened his eyes.
"God, you scared me!" She exclaimed thankful Zeke wasn't hurt in any way.
"I…I remembered some of it…"
"What?"
"It-t came back…" Zeke said, "Some of it came back…"
Rachel felt as stunned as Zeke looked; she helped him to his feet and gave him back his crutches just as Karl and Susan walked back in the room…
"What happened?" They asked, sensing that something had happened.
"Zeke, are you alright?" Susan asked, he was staring into space…
"Uh… wh-yeah, just remembered something, that's all." He responded.
"What, Zeke?" Karl pressed him. "What did you remember?"
"Surfacing under the raft and Libby telling me to hold her hand."
"Anything else, anything else at all?"
"No…" Why was he so worried?
"Okay… you tell me if you remember anything else, okay?" Karl said, worried that if he remembered something bad it wouldn't do anything for his mental state…
Zeke was laying on the sofa gazing at the TV; he wasn't really watching it, he was playing the flashback over and over again in his mind.
I broke through the surface, gasping, only to find I was under the capsized raft. I could hear someone beside me, their short ragged breaths matching my own.
"Zeke?" The person called out, "Is that you?"
"L...Libby?" I spluttered, trying to keep my head above the water.
"Yeah, It's gonna be ok, take my hand."
Why couldn't he remember anything else? It all seemed weird, patches he could remember then the rest was just big blanks. He gave up trying to work it out; it was making his head hurt, so he lay back and went to sleep instead.
A few days later and Zeke hadn't had any more flashbacks to the accident and he was having less trouble breathing by the day… mind you he wasn't doing much.
School had started three weeks ago but because of the accident Zeke hadn't gone in yet, you couldn't blame him, he'd been in hospital for most of the time. But now Karl thought it would be okay to go back, he spoke to Zeke about it,
"You seem to be okay now, you haven't had any more flashbacks and your chest seems to be getting better."
"What are you getting at?" Zeke asked puzzled.
"Well, I think it would be alright for you to go back to school, you've got your inhaler in case anything goes wrong and Libby and Dan know everything that's happened so they won't give you a hard time."
"Okay." Zeke said, pleased he was getting back to normal, he would be able to see his friends again, he hadn't seen them in ages, apart from Ringo of course, seeing as he lived here. "When?"
"I was thinking tomorrow…?"
Please review :)
