I began to awake. When I open my eyes I look around to find that I'm laying in a bed. I slowly sit up to get a better look. Suddenly, I start to freak as I remember my leg. 'I couldn't feel it!' i throw the covers off to see it. But my eyes widen. 'What?' I look at my unbroken leg. "H-how?" I touch it. I look around the room. "I need to find Cole.." I scoot to the edge of the bed. I swallow hard. 'You can do this..' I take a deep breath and slowly stand. I hold on to the bed frame. I soon realize that nothing hurt and I could stand right. "But..." I shake my head. 'Maybe...' I try to figure out what is going on when the door opens.
"Izzy!" Cole runs to me. "You're okay.." He hugs me tight.
I laugh. "You too.." I look up at him. We smile at one another.
"You still need to take time off your leg for it to heal." He sits me on the bed with him.
I look closely at him. His face was slightly bruised. "Cole.." I softly touch his face.
"I'm fine. Katy helped me." He smiles.
"Katy?" I look at him confused.
"Oh she's the short pink haired girl. She help heal you" He looks at my leg. "Does it hurt?"
I shake my head. "No.."
"I'm leaving.." He closes his eyes.
My eyes start to water. "What?" 'How could he leave me? He was the only person I knew was around..' "Cole.."
He sighs. "It's for the best.."
"No! No you will not leave! I don't care! You're the only person I know and...and I'm in more danger when you're not around!"
"Izzy.." He looks at me. "I can't...if..if I hurt you or...." He bites his lip. "...kill you again..I couldn't live with myself.."
I see tears forming in his eyes. "Please...please don't leave me.." I tug on his arm.
He puts his arm around me. "Don't cry.."
I bury my head in his chest as I cry. "You idiot!...If you leave..I'll...I'll...I don't know what I would do!" I say as more tears roll down my cheeks. 'I didn't want him to leave! I need him here...with me!'
"I promise I won't leave.." He rubs the back of my head.
We sat in silence for a minute or two when someone walked in. It was the tall girl from before.
"Oh..Morgan.." Cole says as he stands. "She woke up.."
'Morgan? Who the heck is she? And why was Cole acting weird?'
"Good. We will be leaving soon. So.." She looked at me. "Be ready." She walked back out.
Cole watched her as she left.
'Why is he acting like this?' "Well?" I say in a harsh voice. I cross my arms. 'He needed to explain himself.'
"That's Morgan. She's the leader of this little gang." He sits back down.
"Gang? You mean the two members with her?" I say giving him a mean look. 'Who does she think she is? Acting all big and bad! And why did Cole act weird when she entered. Does...does he like her? Wait! Why am I getting so angry over this?'
"Izzy.." Cole asks snapping me out of my thinking.
"Yes?" I say coming back.
"You need to get ready. We'll be leaving." He says getting up and walking out of the room. He closes the door behind him.
"Man.." I rub my head. "I feel like I'm on a roller coaster of emotions and situations and can't seem to get off." I lay back as I stare at the ceiling. 'First I woke up and my family and everyone else was gone. Then Cole tried to kill me. Then I fought a shadow person...and now we met some new people.' "Dang..I just wish I can close my eyes and wake up and none of this ever happened." I close my eyes. "When I open my eyes again I will be in my room waking up and my mom will be there...and so will my brother..and my dad.." I open my eyes. I look around. "No..I'm still in the same room." My memory comes back. 'Wait..what house our we in? Is..is it that old ladies house? No! We couldn't of..' But I realize the old wallpaper. The dirty floor. The nasty looking closet. Oh my god! Is this is the old ladies house than this must be her bed I'm laying in!' I jump off the bed. "Oh god!" 'Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross!' "I'm getting out of here!" I go to the door when it opens.
Katy, the pink haired girl, stands there smiling. "Oh! Hi! I'm the one that-"
"Fixed my leg..I know" I study her. 'I don't know you..nor trust you..'
Her face stays the same. "You'll warm up to me! Anyways lets get you downstairs!" She says moving out of the way.
She helps me down the stairs. 'I'm a little nerves of falling. When Cole pushed me...I thought for sure I was a goner.'
"Don't worry. I got you" Katy says as we make it to the bottom step. "See?" She smiles big.
I smile a little. "Thanks.."
"Listen, we'll be leaving in a minute. So take this time to get whatever you need." Morgan instructs as she walks to the door. She stops in the doorway. "..and hurry!" She walks out.
'She seems nice..' I roll my eyes.
Cole notices me. "Hey, do you need help?" He looks at Katy.
"I'm fine" She looks at the red-orange hair boy.
The boy gives her a look.
She quickly looks back at Cole. "You know what? Me and Brandon need to go get some of our stuff" She props me on Cole before running out of the room with the red-orange hair boy.
Cole smiles a little.
"What's with them?" I ask looking at him. 'Did he become friends with these people while I was passed out?'
"They are really good people." He helps me walk outside.
The wind hits my face. 'Fresh air..' I took a deep breath. 'I feel at peace'
Cole notices. "Someone is enjoying the air." He laughs.
I couldn't help but laugh. 'It felt good to laugh again. To know I'm safe...for now..'
