Chapter 146

CARL’S POV My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing that met my eyes was someone I was not expecting to see. His eyes were growing wide, like he had seen something so surprising. “Carl!” his voice rang through the room. I shifted, and noticed that the surface I lay on was so soft, I felt like I was melting on it. I looked down to myself and saw a white blanket draped on me. I blinked, rubbing my eyes to clear the blurinesss. I pushed myself up into a sitting position and before I could do anything, Elliot wrapped me in a hug. He held me tight, and I could hear how his breath shook. “I thought I lost you, I was so scared,” He sighed. My heart skipped a beat for a slight second, but I did not allow myself to be swayed. I pushed him away, and waved my hands in the air. “Why are you getting all mushy on me?” I asked, rolling my eyes. Elliot chuckled, taking my hand in his. “I am more than glad that you’re back to your normal self. The state I met you in was terrible and heart breaking.”
