Ai. A voice appeared out of nowhere as I slept. Like a whisper in my ear, except it wasn't in my ear, it was in my head. Ai! I groaned and rolled over in bed, not wanting to deal with whatever it was. I outstretched my hand, feeling around for Nolan laying beside me.
Then I opened my eyes.
And immediately closed them again, tears welling up as the brick landed on my chest again. He isn't here.
AI!
"What!?" I yelled, clenching my eyes shut, trying to push all the bad feelings away.
That was when the whisper in my head became a recognizable voice.
I need to talk to you, come see me.
Liliana. The only one left alive. The only one left unharmed in all of this.
Well, I suppose that's not true. Her two best friends are both dead, both returned to their spots on the metaphorical thrones in Heaven. Even if she knows their souls are safely back in Heaven, she's probably mourning the loss of their human lives along with everyone else they knew on Earth. She's been left alone there, without friends to survive the rest of high school with.
Wow, I had never really thought about how this might affect her. And now she needs to talk to me. Could it possibly be just that she needs someone to talk to? No, I feel she would have asked Adri if that were the case. Why me? What's going on?
