I feel Luke shaking and telling me to wake up. I my eyes blink open, I shut them quickly the lights are so bright. I start to blink more and look around I hold my shaking hand out for a cup of water. Luke hits the red button next to me. The nurse walks in with a cup of water, she hands it to Luke to help me drink it. After the cup is empty he places it down on the table next to me. I move my shaking hands to touch my face, I feel dried tears crusting up on my skin and my hair knotted and matted with filth. I try to move Luke put his arms over me pushing me down shaking his head no.
I try to move again his arms still pushing me down. "I need to take a shower, I smell like sweat and nastiness." I say in a raspy voice, all my friends look at me in concern. The nurse had left telling me not to move much. I ignore he and still try to take a shower. After a few tries Luke lets go. I walk hesitantly to the bathroom to shower.
Luke's pov :
We watched as she walked to the shower room. The team huddle together to talk about her situation. But instead of speaking we just glanced around talking with our eyes. Alice comes out of the bathroom wearing scrubs provided by the sheltered mansion. She walks to the bed lazily saying we need to leave as soon as possible. She falls asleep not soon after she is done speaking. I leave the room to smoke some cigarettes. I think about how much w have changed over the year. My feelings have yet to change, she is beautiful. She has gotten much stronger. While I have been a let down, i haven't been able to protect her well enough.
