Chapter 15:

Jack POV:

I was worried about Callie and James. She hadn't left the hospital since the accident, not that I had either for extended periods but still; I had enough of a mind to feed myself. James hardly slept. Granted the two were on speaking terms again but that was hardly a win considering the situation. James got up and left the room. We'd been waiting for ten days. He spoke to her every day hoping she would hear him.

"Hey…" I saw Callie talking but to Kalen not me. "I know I haven't talked in a while but there hasn't been much to say."

I sad down next to her and put my hand over hers that was holding Kalen's.

"Please if you can hear us WAKE UP!"

I saw Kalen's eyes twitch behind her lids again. That was the only sign that she ever heard us. I sighed and gave Callie's hand a squeeze. She had been hysterical the day after we got here and it all sunk in. She punched the doctor when he told her there was nothing he could do. Then she broke the surgeon's clipboard when she found out Kalen had gone under while getting stitched up.

"Guys." We looked up and saw Christopher.

"Chris?!" Callie said. "What are you doing here?"

"Jack called me. The night of the accident took me a while to get permission though. Is she…?"

"In a coma." I told him. "She's stable and it seems like she reacts when we talk to her but she isn't waking up."

"Well if she responds to talking I've got a few things to say." He pulled up a stool and sat down next to us.

KALEN POV:

After getting set up in town hall I let Callie drag me away to meet her friends. "You'll love Jack and Chris." She went on. "Their normal humans like Logie. Just not as smart. Instead Jack is super fast and Chris is really strong."

I nodded and she dragged me to what looked like a little school house further down the street. She flew up to the door and nocked.

"Hello?" A tall tan boy opened the door for her.

"JACKIE!" She squealed tackling him.

"Oh! Hey Cal…" He said a little sheepishly.

"Jack who was it?" A somewhat built guy came to the door. I took in his goldish hair and dark eyes and immediately flushed.

"It's Callie and- someone I don't know."

"OH!" Callie came over and dragged me over to the boys. "Guys this is Kalen. James found her in the woods. She just moved in!"

"Hi I'm Jack." He said sticking out his hand.

I took it and shook. "Nice to meet you."

"Names Christopher." The other one shook my hand to and I could've sworn I got darker.

"Uh hey Cal… not to rush you out or anything but we're in the middle of our biology project so can we hang out later?" Jack asked her.

"Yeah sure." Callie turned to me and pulled me away. "Come on I'll take you to your house." I followed her and waved goodbye to the boys. Once we were a little further Callie shot me a sly glance. "So you like Chris?"

"What!? NO!" I said. "I just met the guy!"

"The blush says otherwise."

"Well I'm not going to deny he's cute…" I mumbled.

"It's okay he's the first crush you can remember so even if you've had one before he's the first that you can remember." She stopped outside of a house. It seamed vaguely familiar. So did the tree growing outside next to a few of the windows and swing set in the front lawn. "I have to go help Logie at the shop. Stop by tomorrow after your settled in and we can hang out." I waved goodbye to her and stepped up to the house.

I unlocked the door and stepped in. I looked around the room and suddenly a massive headache filled my head I looked around the room and saw flashes of beer cans scattered on the floor and a man and a woman and an older boy. It was over in a moment and I paused to catch my breath.

Hey Kalen. Been a while. It's me Chris.

"You're not Chris you're one of the voices. I just met Chris." I fired back.

Listen you need to wake up soon. If you don't you'll be in trouble.

"How will I be in trouble? Last I checked you're the one stuck inside my brain-damaged head. If you don't shut up soon I'll poke you with a Q-tip!" I was starting to get mad. This stupid voice wouldn't shut up!

We're all waiting for you to come around so do it soon got it?

"Who's waiting for me! I can't even remember my last freaking name! If it's so important to you make me remember you maybe then I'll 'come around' or whatever!" I stomped my foot and turned on heel to incestigate the upstairs of my house.

I entered the master bedroom and looked out the window. Then I almost hurled.

It was the exact same view I remember from my memory of jumping out of a window.

Hello readers! I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately. It was a scramble to finish my summer homework and I didn't have any time to write. :'(

Fortunately though I'm back and with a pole on my wall. I need some input for a story I had an idea on. Simply vote for your favorite OC and they'll be the feature character in the long run! Please note there are two options for Kalen and pick the one you like best if it's her!

I enjoy reviews, I enjoy them very much.

Till Next time!
