Chapter Seven: Win one fight
Bella's POV
Hours of snores went by, before I finally awoke.
I opened my eyes and rubbed them.
Light from the sunrise was seeping through the large glass windows.
I looked around and saw Cleo, Lewis & Will asleep, but Zane sitting upright, with huge dark bags under his eyes, unlike my other sleeping and slouching friends.
"What time is it?" I asked him, who saw that I was now awake. "6:30" he said without even looking at a clock or watch. "Did you get any sleep?" I asked stretching my arms and neck, realizing that maybe Wills shoulder isn't the best substitute for a pillow. "What's it matter?" he said crabbily. The manner in which he spoke answered my question for me. "You know you're going to be no good for Rikki if you're the living dead. You should try and get some sleep" I said as I looked at him sympathetically, before he said "I can't." I was completely puzzled. "Why not Zane?" I asked him. His eyes started tearing up and he said "what if something happens to her while I'm asleep? She needs me." His words struck a nerve inside of me, as I realized we can't do anything at all to help her. Rikki had fought and won many battles in her life but now she needs to win just one more fight…
This is what Rikki Chadwick's life depended on. Winning one more fight.
My mind returned to talking to Zane, or more so convincing him. "We'll wake you if Rikki wakes up" I said to him, receiving no response. "Okay then, I'll do you a deal. You catch a few winks, even if it's not for long. Some sleep is better than none, and then the second Rikki wakes up, you will too. Okay?" I said feeling like I was negotiating with a child. He nodded, and within a few seconds he was asleep too.
I decided to then get up and get some coffee for myself and for the others when they woke up.
Then around 8ish, Will began stirring & woke up on the chair next to me. "Hey you" he said when his eyes flicked open. "Hi" I said as I put the magazine I was reading down and gave him a small smile. "You been awake long?" he asked me as he stretched his arms out and yawned. "A while. Oh there is a cold coffee for you on the table there."
Will darted for the table, grabbed one of the white cups, and when he came back to his seat and said "Thanks Bella" and after a few sips of coffee he added "I can't believe how long we've all slept." I replied with "Yeah. Zane's only been asleep for a short time though. I think he was up all night, but when I woke up I managed to convince him to try and get some sleep for Rikki's sake."
"I'm surprised that anyone was able to get him to sleep." Will said. "Yeah I know, but he looked so tired. He probably hadn't slept in 24 hours." I said and Will nodded, as he sipped his cold coffee. "I just still can't believe what's happened, I still feel in shock. It was so awful seeing her at the accident yesterday & I just keeping seeing it over and over again in my head, and then I relived it in my dreams too" I said as I began crying and Will hugged me and kissed the top of my head, but I knew that he was still in shock too. We all were.
Out of curiousity, do you think Rikki will live or die? Remember 13 reviews for Chap 8! (I'm so mean! ;) )
Have a good day, CheddarFetta
