I wake with a start as the sunshine leak's in from the window. I look up and see Matias limping over my mattress snoring quietly. I sit up and quickly hush a gasp. I look down and see my left foot twisted all the way around.
Gotta...... move! I force myself off the mattress as more pain rushes into my foot. I search the room and see a door that I remember. I take one step and soon regret it as I fall down, pain flaring in my foot and sweat falling across my face. I shove my hand in my mouth as I bite down hard and try not to scream. Tears start coming to my eyes.
Stop! I think. You are not going to cry. The tears stop coming as I look up and see Matias sitting up on the mattress staring at me.
"Really?" He ask's eyeing many new bruises on my knees. "I go to sleep for a little bit and when I wake you hurt yourself even more then you already are." He get's up and start's walking toward's me then half way stops and see's my foot. "What did you do?" He ask's his voice filled with worry.
I look down and my foot is even more worse then it had been earlier. "I-I do-don't kn...." Tears fill my eyes.
Stop! Don't show weakness! I look away from my foot and look at Matias his face filled with worry. "It-it's fi-fine...." I try to say this as strong as I can but it sound's like a mouse dying.
He comes closer and kneels down so he's eye level with me. "Listen you are not okay I can tell." He put's his hand on my shoulder which make's me flinch. "I can heal you back to normal but next time I go to sleep don't try to walk without help k?" His blue eyes sparkle's in the sun light. I nod. "Good now let's get you up." He stand's and reaches down and before I know what's happening he pick's me up. Then he walk's toward the doorway to the kitchen and lase me down on a soft chair next to a table.
"What are you doing?" I manage to croak out without stuttering.
He look's directly at me his blue eyes twinkling. "Just wait here." He smile's then turn's and walk's out of the room leaving me alone.
Great. I think. I look around the room and spy a big enough window that I could easily slide out of. I know I promised but I got to get out of here and find out who I am. I turn and got up and then just like before I fall to the ground. This time instead of staying there not trying to cry I move forward pain jeering in my bad foot. I slowly crawl towards the hole sweat dripping off my face and pain flaring in my foot.
"Come on....." I whisper motivational to myself. "Almost......"
I'm about to reach out for the ledge of the window when I hear his voice behind me. "What are you doing?" I turn fast, my left foot hurting so badly that I can barely see straight. Right as I'm about to fall to the ground Matias run's and catches me. That's when I start crying. "Hey." Matias sets me down gently. The hard stone ground is surprisingly cold. "Hey its okay." Matias tries to comfort me. "It's fine we'll get you healed up in no time." His voice is soft. He holds my hand while I cry which on normal circumstances would make me blush and I would pull away but right now it makes me feel a little better.
I finally calm down. "I'm so so-sorry." I look up expecting Matias to be angry but instead his eyes are twinkling as he smiles.
"It's okay. Everything's fine." He said this still holding my hand in both of his sitting next to me. "We will get your name back and will heal you back to normal."
We just sit there for a while holding hands. Then we hear a voice coming inside.
Abarrane walks in stopping when she see's us. "Uhhhh." She keeps staring taking in the scene.
I pull away from Matias blushing while Matias also blushing says. "Hey Abarrane. What's uh up?"
Abarrane still staring at me say's. "Oh nothing much but these weirdo's trespassing on our island! But it doesn't matter as much as you with nameless over here so you guys can go back to holding hands."
Matias blushes even harder and turns away but I stare Abarrane in the face. "Hey dude he was just trying to be a good friend and comfort me."
Abarrane sniffed and said. "Well I mean why do you need comfort? Like you don't have to do anything at all because you can't stand!" There she said it. Matias turn's and look's at me knowing what I was about to do.
I turn back to Abarrane's iron face. I force myself to stand and just like I knew pain started in my left foot but I stood facing Abarrane. "You know I didn't think a older girl like you would be such a pain. I mean how old are you 18? 20?" Abarrane scowl's at me. I put on a smile even thought I was sure I'd pass out any minute.
1, 4, 6 Minute's pass by before Abarrane finally turn's to go but before she exit's she turn's and smirk's at me. "Since your feeling better I'd like to meet you and talk sometime broken girl once you and your 'boyfriend' are done." She turn'd to face Matias smiling. "See you Matias." She then turn's and sashay's out of the room.
I turn and look at Matias and see that he is blushing really badly. "Uhhhh so...."
I laugh and say. "Matias you look like a really pink pig!" He look's up and smile's. I stepp forward to go and sit next to him but right as I did I collapse from the pain in my foot. And yet again Matias rushes forward and catches me.
He smile's. "You okay?"
"Yeah." I say. He set's me down on the floor again and we sit there then all of a sudden we hear voices outside near us.
Matias look's up. "What was that Abarrane said about trespassers?" He look's worried.
I get up and say. "I don't know but I'm going to find out." Before I could fall again Matias grabbed my hand and steadied me.
"Okay but I'm going too so you don't fall." And so together, me leaning on Matias for support we walk outside to see people standing on a hill.
