I'm Not Dead

"Zoey.. Zoey, wake up."

I blinked a fewtimes, then I slightly opened my eyes.

"Can you hear me?"

I made a noise but didn't talk. From the voice, i knew Colton was hovering over me. He picked me up, and made it so i was leaning against the wall.

"Zoey, please answer me."

"What happened." I said with a cracky voice.

"You wre knocked out."

"I was?"

"Yeah."

"Is she talking at all?" Liam said walking over.

"Yeah, a little."

"Good.."

"Yeah." Colton looked back at me. "Your aunt and uncle are coming."

I nodded and shut my eyes again.

"Zoey,you need to try and open your eyes.We don't want you out for another hour or so."

Groaning,I forced my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.

"Colton."I said quiet.

He looked down at me."Yeah?"

"I heard crying."

He didn't answer me.

"Colton,who was down there?!"

"Look,I don't want you to freak out."

"Colton!Who was down there?!"I said that to loudly,so it ended up in a cough.

"Zoey,I don't want to freak you out."

"Fine."

I put one hand on the ground,and the other on the wall.Colton grabbed my arm so I wouldn't fall.He wouldn't let go of my arm when I stood up either.

"Colton,let go."

"I told you--"

"I don't care if I get freaked out!I just want to know!"

"No."

"Colton!"

He moved his hand away from my arm,and up to my shoulder,causing him to push me against the wall gently.

"I can't..seriously."

"What has gotten into you?!Your acting like your mom!"When I said mom,I did air quotations.

"No I'm not. It would just be better if you didn't know anyone that was down there."

"Why?!Why can't I know?!Its not like the world is going to end!"

All he did was stare at me.

"Colton..please..I just want to know.If its that bad,I promise I'll keep it a secret."

"Fine.Ill tell you."He said letting go of me."It was your mom,and some guy named Ed."

I hesitated,but I did speak up."Who was the kid."

"Carson."

"What?!Is he okay?!He isn't hurt or anything is he?!"

"Zoey,he's fine.He's over there."

Colton pointed over to a tiny group of people,and I followed his finger.
