19. New feelings and another seizure
Evie's P.O.V.
I didn't know where the need for it came from now, but that moment had been so incredibly magical. Carlos carefully buried his fingers in my hair and put a hand on my neck. An incredibly beautiful feeling spread in my heart and where he touched me, goosebumps developed. My hand stayed on his cheek while the other was on his chest. Carlos began to move his lips on mine very gently and I replied immediately. I had never felt feelings so beautiful. I had always seen Carlos as a very good friend, but he was more. Much more. Again, my heart almost broke at the thought that I would soon lose him forever. And now the pain was more intense. And I realized that I had fallen in love with this boy. At that moment the door opened and Carlos and I literally jumped apart. A smiling Mal and a grinning Jay stood in front of us and looked at us knowingly. I looked at Carlos, who blushed slightly and had to smile.
"Did we bother you?", Jay asked, grinning to himself.
"I ... well, uh ..." Carlos didn't really seem to know what to say and I didn't know it either. Only now did I realize that I was still lying on him. I quickly got up and tried to look as calm as possible, but inside I freaked out. I had never experienced such beautiful feelings. Not even with Doug. Mal laughed.
"It's okay. We know what just happened anyway. But Carlos, shouldn't you be sleeping?" I slapped my forehead inwardly. Damn it. I had completely forgotten that.
"No. I'm fine. But what happens to the magic wall now?" When he raised the issue, I was worried again. That was really a good question. It had to be acted quickly before all the evil creatures like our parents could come off the island. Mal's face grew hard and Jay looked serious again.
"I have no idea, Carlos. We can only hope that the Fairy Godmother will get it back on time," Mal replied to me and Carlos looked frustrated. I'm worried. Hope didn't sound good. It was like waiting for something to happen. And at that moment I felt a tremor next to me. I turned in confusion and then cried out. No! Please not! Mal and Jay came running immediately and there were concern and a little panic in their eyes. Tears stung my eyes and I also trembled a little. What should we do now? Carlos was cramping properly and his eyes were wide open. He hardly seemed to be able to breathe! Panic spread through me. Could he suffocate?!
"I'm calling a doctor!", Jay said, jumping up. Mal looked calm, but I saw the fear in her eyes. I was also terrified. I did the only thing I could do. Calm him down somehow. I carefully put a hand on his cheek and tried to suppress the tears.
"It's all good. We're with you," I breathed, unable to stop the tears. Why? I still asked myself this question, but I knew that nobody could answer it. Mal took his hand and squeezed it.
"Breathe on very calmly. It will be better in a moment. And the doctor will come soon." Carlos tried to normalize his breath, but it didn't seem to be working. My hand trembled on his cheek when Jay suddenly ran in.
"The doctor will be there any minute." With a worried face, he also sat next to Carlos. "Keep calm, Carlos." My heart almost broke at the picture in front of me. Cramps rushed through his body and he gasped for breath. My tears never stopped running. Would we lose him now? No! I couldn't think of that! Carlos was strong! He would do it! But deep down I knew it wasn't true. Carlos would soon lose the fight. Very soon.
