Chapter 10
Echo's P.O.V
I open my eyes and try to sit up but go back down instantly. I take a deep breathe. I groan.
"Echo?" Someone asks. A face appear over mine a few feet in the air.
"Q-Quentin?" He smiles. I hug him and he hugs me back. Where's Andrew? I look around. We are in some house. The walls look like they are going to collapse, a old wooden table in the corner with stuff on it, i'm on a small bed, and a chair next to the bed. We let go of each other.
"Where's Andrew?" Quentin eyes look away from mine. He wrapped my stomach and he looks like he hasn't ate anything in weeks. He loss a lot of weight and I can see his ribs and he's pale.
"I saw him. But I saw you in trouble and helped you. I went to get Andrew and he wasn't there anymore." Quentin said. He was hurt. I sit up slower. He sits next to me on the bed. His clothes are torn and bloodstained. A long cut is on the front of his shirt with bloodstain and a scar under it from his shoulder to his stomach. Wait my wrist was wrapped.
"My wrist is broken."
"Then why can you move it so easy? It wasn't broken, has to be a sprain." Quentin said. I move his shirt a little.
"You look like you haven't eaten in weeks." His right leg is wrapped up.
"I can't exactly get food if I can barely walk." Quentin said looking at his leg.
"You ran to me." He looks at me.
"Because you needed me Echo. What food we have is no good. It's rotten already from this places age." Quentin said. He gets up and grabs a cup and gives it to me. I drink some of it and instantly spit it out.
"What is this?" He smiles a little.
"Water." He said.
"It taste like mud and sh*t." Quentin takes it from me and gets up.
"It's better then nothing." He said walking to the table. He's walking funny.
"Stop walking. Your leg-"
"Is fine. I can take walking Echo. I got to take care of you since you can't exactly get to your feet yet." Quentin said. We looks at each other for a minute. Quentin is the most caring out of all of us. Medicine is his best field while the rest of us barely know anything about it. He's basically doctor but without the job.
"What happened to you at the base? Where you get that scar on your chest from?" He looks at the ground.
"Protecting Ian...and Ty." He said.
"H-How are they?"
"Ty was hit by demon fire. And Ian...I don't know about Ian." Quentin said. Demon fire hit Ty? That's not good.
"How about Jason?" Quentin sits back down on the bed in front of me.
"I would be surprise if he even is alive. His wound was too critical Echo." Quentin said. I look at the ground. I put my forehead on his shoulder.
"Sorry..shouldn't have said that." Quentin said. I look at him.
"No. No it's fine. I just want things back to way it was."
"Me too. Seen Mitch?" Quentin asks. I look at him for a minute.
Quentin's P.O.V
I see tears come down her face. Wait a second, what? What's happening?
"Um..Echo?"
"Sorry..I...um." Echo said looking away from me. She wipes her face and I know what is about happen here. I grab her arm and she looks at me. I pull her into a hug. She buries her face in the crook of my neck and I feel her hands grip my jacket and shirt. I put my arms around her. This is...this is a first for me to see her like this. Mitch must be either bad shape or dead. I can hear her crying on me softly. I hold her tighter.
"It's gonna be okay." I knew one day Echo was gonna break down. A girl can't keep her feelings hidden for as long as she has.
Ty's P.O.V
Sammy takes her hand off my forehead and smiles. Zoey comes next to her.
"I think it's gone." Sam said. I still feel a little sick.
"O my god that's great." Zoey said. I smile a little.
"Okay. Calm down. Ty still needs rest to recover his strength. So one more day of being in this room alright Ty?" Sammy asks.
"Alright." She gets up and leaves. Zoey looks at me and smiles.
"Thanks for helping me."
"Your welcome." Zoey said. She moves closer to me. Why does she keep doing that? I put my hands on the ground. She moves closer to me.
"Why are you..."
"What?" Zoey asks. I look at her saying nothing. I don't really know what to say.
"Is it true what happen between you and Lisa?" Zoey asks leaning back away from me.
"How many people know about that?"
"A lot. Why would you do that?" Zoey asks. I look at the ceiling and then at her.
"Yes it is but Lisa got onto me. She made a move on me. And I rejected and then she overpowered me." Zoey laughs.
"Overpowered you? Ty your stronger then her." Zoey said.
"But she outmagic me." Zoey looks at me weird.
"She doesn't have magic Ty." Zoey said. She puts her hand on my arm.
"I know. That's why she overpowered me." She leans in closer to me. Okay. I don't like where this is going. I lay down on the ground. She looks at me.
"Um...sorry. See ya." Zoey said and she leaves. I sit up.
"Girls just can't seem to keep their hands off of you." Jason said. I look over at Jason. I open my mouth to say something and I close it.
"Yeah don't say anything. Avoid this conversation. Ignore me. But she was making a move on you and you shut it down." Jason said slowly sitting up.
"So?" I stand up.
"So come on man. Just stop rejecting girls for once Ty. You deserve to have a girl Ty." Jason said. I sit on the counter. I put my hands on the edge of the counter.
"No. No. No Jason. I don't."
"Why don't you?" Jason asks. I look at him and then the ground. I grip the counter.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Why not?" Jason asks. I get off the counter. I say nothing and grab my jacket and put it on.
"What are you doing?" Jason asks.
"I have had enough of this damn room." My arm still hurts but it is getting better. I leave.
