Chapter 5: Questions

I heard a groan next to me and saw Alei wake up. He froze when our eyes met, then he smiled and hugged me? I vomitted blood after, because he squeezed me while hugging. He apologized to me for being careless. His appearance seems to have changed, he looks more mature somehow but his silky brown hair, mysterious jade eyes and cool atmosphere are still intact.

"My name is Alexis Laverdo, I'm sorry for making you vomit blood" he said.

I smiled at him, I can't really say 'nice to meet' to him or nod my head, I don't want to loose anymore blood than I already did.

"Little girl, if you don't mind. I'd like to ask you some questions" the doctor said. I tapped the board once

"Little girl, do you remember who you are?" Weird question but I tapped the board once.

"Do you feel any pain on your chest?" I tapped the board twice.

"How about your belly?" I tapped the board once, the stab wound I recieved still hurt after 2 years but it's not as painful as before.

"Can you see clearly?" I tapped the board once.

"Does your body feel hot?" I tapped the board once, for quite sometime now, I have been feeling a bit hot.

"Do you feel hungry?" I tapped the board twice, I don't feel any hunger at all.

"Last question" she said.

"Do you like him?" She said pointing to Alei.

Alei was surprised by this, he glared at the doctor with a tint of red on his face and the doctor just responded with a shrug. Being the honest girl I was, I tapped the board once. No girl in my age could resist Alie's charms, except for me.

Alei and the Doc was surprised by my answer, they must have expected me to lie and tapped twice, but I'm honest girl.

"That was surprising, isn't it Alei?" The doctor said mischevously.

"Yes, it was" he said avoiding eye contact.

The doctor smiled at me and said "okay, that would be all darling. Get some more rest, I think you'll need it later". She pinched my neck and everything went black.

I woke up in the same hospital bed as before and the same room as before but this time, I was alone.

Being alone like this made me think about my family. I wonder how they're doing? Maybe they think that I'm dead now.

It's kind of lonely without any younger cousins to run around and mess with things, older cousins fighting on the T.V. remote, a nagging aunt and a laughing uncle.

I hope the police who stabbed me didn't kill them, I wish they're safe. I wish I could see them again, to see how they're doing.

Thinking about those things made me anxious and that's not good.

I calmed myself down and returned to sleeping. I miss them.
