Chapter IV (Lavi's POV)
After Lenalee left, I felt as though she had taken all of my strength with her. I wished she hadn't gone. The room grew dark as it started to storm and I wanted it to rain forever. The sound of senseless, redundant pattering on the roof. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, Lenalee was shaking my shoulder, Allen standing beside her.
"Lavi?" She looked worried. "Thank God, you've been asleep for hours." I blinked and looked at the clock, nine.
"I'll go find Bookman." Allen sounded akward. Lenalee messed with my hair, it was becoming a habit of hers. She sat beside me and I leaned back against the headboard. Her hands found my headband and she pulled it off.
"Hey..." I stopped as she shushed me. "What are you doing?" She laughed and dangled a small red braid in my face. "Why?" I asked.
"Because there's nothing else to do. Besides, it's not like I can braid my own hair anymore!" I couldn't tell if she was angry or joking. "Now shut up and get some more rest."
"Lenalee, I just slept for eleven hours." She ignored me and got up. I got up after her. "Where are you going? I thought Allen went to go get Gramps?" She turned arouind and I saw the tears in her eyes. "Lenalee?" She ran to me and flung her arms around my neck, it hurt. "What's wrong Lenalee?" She shook her head into my shoulder.
"Promise me you'll get better." She whispered. "Promise!" Desperation laced her voice.
"Yes, I promise, I'll get better. Now will you let go? That hurts." I took her hands from my neck and held them. "What's wrong?" Lenalee just shook her head again, more water works flowing from her eyes.
"I can't lose you too, we already lost Kanda and Kroly, I can't lose you too." Her head leaned on my chest, bumping my stitches.
"Ah! Don't..." My vision got blurry and I steadied myself with her shoulder. God, it was hot! I felt as though I was suffocating. Lenalee said something but I couldn't hear her. 'Just let me sit for a moment' I tried to say, but my voice was gone. The world was quiet and noisey at the same time, my head felt as though someone had tried to drive a burning stake in it. Sharp hot pain glanced through me like lightning. Lights glittered in my eyes, blocking out Lenalee and the rest of the room. I could tell she was yelling, but her voice didn't reach my ears. It hurt just to breathe and I wanted the darkness to come and take away the pain. I felt Gramps' hand on my arm, trying to get me on the floor. The smooth stone was cold and welcoming. I tried to speak but my mouth was thick and dry. Lenalee was crying again, her tears falling on my arm, her hand tight on mine. I tried to squeeze hers, to say it was going to be okay, but I didn't know anymore. Allen's astonished tones mixed in with the other jumbled sounds. Gramps was probably making me a human pin-cusion but I was numb, blackness consuming everything.
see why it's short? its kinda hard to write from an unconcious person's point of view lol! working on chapter five now! no updates until I get some more reviews.
