65 LA REINA DE LOS MUERTOS

LENA’S POINT OF VIEW

I slowly wake up with a searing pain in my head and chest, making me choke out a cry as I try to move. “Maia…” I mumble softly, my eyes closing as hot tears fall because of the pain. Maia still sleeping, she doesn’t hear my voice calling her. I try to get up by myself and rest my head on the headboard. “Shit! Where's the painkiller?” I whimper out, scanning the painkillers inside the drawer as I rest my head on the headboard.

I groan as it hurts to breathe “Shit” My eyes close again as I stop scanning the painkillers. A shifting beside me makes me open my eyes again, Maia pulling me into her side “What’s wrong?” She asks worriedly, rubbing my back. “Painkillers!” I say in a low voice as I slowly close my eyes again. I hear the bedsheets moving and the shaking of a pill bottle. A few moments later Maia comes back to my side of the bed with water and the painkillers, helping me sit up.
