Mighty Med Part 2
I wake up and see Oliver and Skylar sleeping soundly together by my hospital bed. I smile, but at the same time, I feel a little jealous again. I know why I'm jealous now. I have a crush on Oliver, and Skylar has a crush on him as well. But I can't forget about Chase. He is my one and only love. He's not here right now though, and now, on top of being depressed, I'm also confused. I close my eyes and try to go back to sleep, but I can't. My head is swirling with too many questions. Plus, I'm afraid that I'll have nightmares. I must have just been lucky the first time I went to sleep. I had woken up before this to take some antidepressant pills but they didn't really help.
Now, I'm just lying in bed, still amazed that I am in a hospital for superheros. I really hope that I will get closer to Skylar. Being best friends with my favorite superhero would be awesome! Then, Bree, Skylar and I could hang out together, just us girls. All of a sudden, I hear his voice. "You have betrayed me," he says. "You love Oliver, not me." My heart feels like it is beating a hundred beats per second. "Chase," I say to the voice in my head. "It's not what it looks like. I still love you." "Liar," he hisses. My eyes fill with tears. "No, I'm not lying," I say, sobbing now. "I love you, Chase!"
Oliver and Skylar start to stir in their sleep. Then I realize...this isn't real. I'm hallucinating again. Chase would never say that to me! I squeeze my eyes shut and try to clear my mind. After a few moments of silence, I realize that the voice is gone. I sigh in relief. I try to go back to sleep again, but fail. I look around the hospital. What do I do now? I feel lost again. Maybe I'll just feel lost forever. Maybe it's easier to feel lost than to actually be lost. I can't just keep lying here! I have to talk to someone! I sit up, lean forward, and gently tap Oliver on the shoulder. He gives a slight snort, which I find to be absolutely adorable, and his eyes flutter open. He looks frantically around the room. "Oliver," I whisper. He quickly turns his head so that he is looking at me.
"Are you okay," he asks, quietly. "I-I'm okay," I reply. "I just wanted to...talk to someone." "Oh," he says, gently. "Okay. What's going on?" I sigh and look up at the ceiling. "I'm lost," I say. "I've been fighting with my family a lot, my adoptive aunt's sister is an evil lunatic, and my boyfriend left me to keep me safe, but I don't feel safe." "Oh, I hear ya," Oliver says. "My mom was evil, but we defeated her eventually." I am stunned at hearing this. "Really," I ask. "Yup," he sighs. I smile sheepishly, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, my birth father was evil, too, but he was defeated." He chuckles, "Huh. Maybe you and I have more in common than I thought." I smile.
Suddenly, there is a loud siren and Skylar jerks awake, lifting her head up off of Oliver ' s shoulder. "What's going on," I whimper loudly. "I have no idea," Skylar replies. Horace ' s voice booms through the speakers. "Attention," he says. "Everyone currently in Mighty Med hospital must exit immediately if they wish to live. Please proceed out the back door in a calm and orderly fashion." My chest burns with worry and anxiety as I stumble out of bed. I'm scared and there's only one person who can calm me down. Chase. I need him. He's not here. He's gone. I don't know what to do. The depression starts to overtake me again, this time combined with fear. I start to faint, but someone catches me.
I look up to see Oliver looking down at me with clear worry in his eyes. "Are you okay," he asks. I nod, although I'm not really okay. He helps me up and leads me out of the hospital along with everyone else. Just as I think that I'm home free, I slip on something, fall out of Oliver ' s embrace, and hit my head on the floor. My vision is clouded and black dots fog my vision. I feel queasy. I groan as the ground rushes up to meet me.
