All Time Low Chapter 11- Don’t Let Me Walk Away Without A Well Deserved Slap
All Time Low Chapter 11 SNEAK PEEK!
Missing. I could see Alex’s lips moving as Jack shook my shoulder. Gone. My hearing disappeared as I swayed from side to side. Abducted. The feeling of guilt ripped right through me. Lost. I’m lost; Noella’s lost. I can’t claw my way out of this one and I can’t find away out of this dark hole this time, it was slowly starting to consume me. This was my entire fault! I had practically laid out a deathbed for Noella, when I left her alone. I should have stayed with her and not left her at home alone that night I got drunk and phoned Jack. I shouldn’t of left her with ‘strangers.’ I should have been a better sister.
My eyes were tired and flashed every emotion I’ve ever felt and more but it took a hand flying towards me to slap me back to reality. I didn’t flinch or grasp my cheek in pain; I just sat there, not blaming Alex for slapping me. Alex shook me by the shoulders screaming at me as my hearing slowly improved. The side of my face stung and tingled like pins and needles and my eyes felt as dry and coarse as sandpaper, I couldn’t cry. I was too emotional to even let a single tear fall. Reality flickered in and out of my consciousness as my mind considered passing out.
“God damn it, Vaila! Look at me; we are going to find Noella no matter what, do you understand me?” his warm hands curled around my cheeks in a comforting way but it still wasn’t enough, my eyes suffered from tunnel vision and my breathing was ragged and uneven. Filled with sincerity, his eyes searched mine, to see if there was any hint of emotion, any hint that I was alive or even coping. “Are you listening to us? Can you even hear me? Talk to me, please,” it took a tear running down Alex’s face and splashing onto my hand that Jack now held, for me to finally wake up from my world of self torment. Tearing me from my pseudo-world, the lost feeling that settled in my chest turned to rage as I stood and stared down Alex.
“How could you lose my baby sister in a hospital? How Alex, answer that for me? We’re in a hospital! Not a crowded room or a fifty-story building, you have no excuses this time. Noella is all I have and you let her slip away from me, how could you betray me like this? I…I, I don’t even know what I’ll do to you if someone hurts a hair on her head but I swear to you now it will be worse than death!” Pacing furiously from one end of the hospital room I tugged at my hair angrily. My mind reeled with unlimited possibilities of what Noella could be going through at this moment.
