Autumn POV

I heard a gentle voice talking to me, telling me to wake up. The voice was full of worry and tension, and it sounded vaguely familiar. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't.

"She's going to be okay, right?" I heard that voice again and a feeling of recognization triggered in my brain. It was Ike.

"Hopefully." Came another stern voice.

Hopefully? What did that mean? What was going on? I wanted to scream and tell them that I was awake and that I could hear them, but most of all I wanted to be wrapped in Ike's arms, and I wanted to feel him successivo to me. There were footsteps growing further and further. Autumn tried to sposta and a pain shot through her whole body, especially her back and her right leg.

Ike's POV

I reluctantly turned and walked out of the room and left for Red Fountain. I didn't want to leave Autumn's side, but the nurse and doctors kept telling me visiting hours were over. I kept telling them I had to stay, and I stayed as long as I could before they had to practically drag me out of there. I sighed and got off of my levabike to walk inside, but saw the whole group sitting outside. Helia looked the most worried. After all his brother, sister, and girlfriend were all unconscious and on strict letto rest. The group looked up at me with hopeful eyes. I just ignored them and walked past.

Helia caught up with me and led me toward the nurses office. I didn't say a word, I knew we were going to see Julien. It was gonna be hard to tell him about Autumn. Ugh.

Julien POV

I hadn't slept all day. I was too worried on whether o not they would find Autumn and Ike. When I heard footsteps, I quickly looked toward the door. The sudden movement was enough to make my head spin. I was hurting so bad, especially near my head and my arm. I couldn't sposta my arm at all, I guess it was broken. I sighed just as the door opened.

Helia POV

Immediately after the door opened, Juliens eyes got wide and hopeful. The secondo he saw Ike, he sighed in relief, but noticed Helia's troubled expression. His face fell.

"Where is she?" Julien asked, his voice shaky.

"At Alfea. In the infirmary. She... She's not doing so well." Ike said, looking down.

"WHAT?!?!" Julien detto he immediately jumped out of the bed, then swayed and gripped his head with his good arm, grimacing.

"Julien te are such an idiot." Helia said, clearly annoyed as he gently pushed Julien back onto the bed. Julien started to fight and protest.

"I have to see her!"

"You can see her tomorrow. They kicked Ike out of there earlier. Visiting hours are over." Helia said, pushig him back down.

Julien sighed reluctantly before closing his eyes. He waited until Helia and Ike thought he was asleep until he opened his eyes. He slowly got up, climbing out the window....
