CHAPTER 3

I awoke to a blinding white light and complete quiet. My eyes adjusted and I found myself in a hospital room. Four boys sat in the corner, three in chairs, and one on the floor leaning against the wall, all asleep, or so I thought. I looked closer, it was Deven, Jackson, James, and Lucan.

Lucan opened his eyes. "Morning sunshine," He said, "Wow, you don't look so good..."

Deven appeared out of nowhere behind Luke. "She lost a lot of blood Einstein." He had a German accent. He fakely smiled, and licked his lips a little. I looked at Luke, puzzled. He shot the same look back to me, but smirked.

I tried to sit up but a sharp pain in my stomach jolted me back down again, "Shit!" I yelled out loud. Luke ran over to me faster then I had ever seen anyone run in my life, "Are you alright!" He exclaimed once he was by my side. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, it hurt just to talk.

"Your in pain." James chimed in.

"Duh, I'm in pain I just got stabbed!" I yelled. I didn't mean to sound so stern.

"No, not in pain. Emotion pain. Someone hurt you mentally, I can sense it." He replied. He was

completely calm... How?

"I guess so..." I said. "I expected what happened, just not then."

"You basically died for a split second. You were coughing up blood, and so pale, you could barely take time to breathe." Lucan said. He paused. "I wonder what it's like to die."

"I guess it's peaceful if you don't die in pain..." I said. I didn't give much thought to it.

Lucan looked out the window. He looked back at me, his eyes sparkled. Jackson went over to the window then looked over to Lucan, then James.

The doctor entered the room, "Look who decided to wake up!" He exclaimed, "Let's have a look at your wound."

He pulled down my blankets and lifted my shirt up. He examined it for a minute or two. "Your recovering quickly," He said. He sounded surprised, "You'll be able to go home very soon."

"I've only been here for a day..." I said.

Luke came over to me, "Alex, you've been here for almost over a month."

"You've been in a coma, and these boys have been here with you this whole time, they haven't left once." the doctor explained as he pointed to Luke, James, Jackson, and Deven.

I was surprised, especially with Deven. He didn't seem like the type to care about anything.

A month! How! This thought puzzled me for an hour after the doctor had left. I soon fell asleep and awakened to the shock of my life.

I awoke to the sound of a phone ringing. I looked around and saw Luke on a chair, sleeping, to my right, and a woman to my left. "Who could that be?" I whispered to myself. Something seemed very familiar about the hair and body. My hair and body! She woke up and looked at me. My stomach dropped. I was looking into the eyes of my mother.

"Hey, sweetie." she said without hesitation. Her eyes were puffy and she had tear stains on her favorite shirt, I could tell she was sober for the first time in a long time as tears came to her eyes.

"Hey mom." I said in reply. My mind rejoiced and tears began to come to my eyes. My mom here with me. Crying with me.

"Your friends came and got me as soon as they could." She said.

I looked at James when he arrived at my door with Jackson and Deven, "You waited a month!" I exclaimed.

"She was either gone or drunk when we came to get her...! Would you rather have her here drunk out of her mind...?" James argued.

My mother put her head down, "I'm so sorry." she said clearly ashamed. Then her eyes lit like fire, "WHO DID THIS TO YOU?" She said, she was very angry.

I didn't know what to say. If I told her the truth, she'd most likely call me a liar and leave, and most likely start drinking again, if this soberness was permanent. But I took a chance-the truth had to get out sooner or later, and the sooner I told her maybe she would get rid of Joe...

"Joe did it..." I said

She said nothing, she just began crying again and walked out of the room.

"Alex... I have a really bad feeling that this will all end up very tragic." James said once we heard the hospital's doors close behind my mother. I didn't want to speak it or even think it, but somehow in the pit of my stomach I felt he was right.

I awoke to the sounds of an ambulance and doctors talking as they rushed a patient down the hallway. The boys were already awake long before me. I looked at the clock, 3:06am. When the doctors and patient came past the boys looked to see who it was. After they had passed, Luke shot James and oddly concerned glance and whispered something to him. James shook his head in response. Luke put his head down. Jackson. who knew what they were talking about, calmly asked, "Dead?" James nodded his head and soon all of them went to sleep, clearly uneasy about something.

I woke up in Luke's arms. At first I didn't know who it was so I jerked quickly away from him and started punching and kicking. "Holy shit Alex!" He said as he jumped out of my bed. He came back to me and started comforting me, "You were yelling my name and screaming bloody murder in your sleep," He explained, "So I came over to calm you down."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I wrapped myself in his arms, I felt so safe.

"That's ok," He replied, "Your safe, that's all that matters now."

Deven shot Luke and evil glance and mouthed the words "Tell her"

I couldn't help but to ask, "Tell me what?"

Deven looked at Luke, "Luke was just about to tell you something." He said

Luke shot Deven a quick evil eye, then looked down at me. "Last night? When all that commotion went on outside?... It was your... your mom..." Luke said "... She's... Dead." It sounded like he had a hard time telling me, and his voice had become weak and was quivering slightly. My heart dropped. I just talked to her that same day, and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I began to cry uncontrollably, "No!" I screamed. "No! Your lying!" I didn't want to bring myself to accept it.

After many hours of crying all the fluids out of my body, the tears wouldn't come. Luke came back over to me and hugged me once he say I was no longer violent.

"I don't get it," I began to say.

"Get what?" Luke questioned, looking down then at me then burring his face into my hair.

"Never mind." I replied. I was about to say something else when Deven and James burst in.

"Hey, hey killer!" Deven exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Why killer?

He brought over a newspaper. Showing me the front page he said, "Apparently, you... Umm... Killed your mother..."
