{Alec Volturi} Bad Romance {The End}

We were knocked down as the ground suddenly started shaking violently, and I cracked my head against the rough concrete again, crying out in pain.
"We have to get out of here!" I screamed, as chunks of rubble fell from what was left of all the hotels.
Alec somehow got to his feet and pulled me up to mine, running through the collapsing city, ducking and weaving as it fell to pieces around up. I looked back in horror at the gas station we passed. The gas lines underground had ruptured and were spewing clear liquid everywhere.
Alec pulled me along faster. "Hurry!" he yelled, narrowly avoiding the windows that were blowing out and raining the ground with shattered glass.
The aftershock sent me sprawling, and I struggled to stand back up as the ground cracked inbetween me and Alec.
We shielded our faces as the area behind us exploded into flames, caused by a spark from the falling concrete. I squinted against the heat, trying to see the width of the crack in the ground. If I could jump across...
The shaking stopped suddenly, and I desperately reached out towards Alec's outstretched hand. "I'm sorry!" I cried out. "I'm sorry for everything I did!"
Alec smiled sadly and shook his head, his hair and face coated with dust and ash. "Ivory, you don't have to be!" he yelled back. "Because, even after everything, I still love you!"
I reflected his smile and opened my mouth to say something.

Everything went black just as our hands were about to touch.

I floated in the blackness for a while, but I couldn't really tell how long.
I saw the faintest line of light and struggled to move. But nothing would respond.

"Ivory?" someone asked hesitantly. I tried to move again and felt my fingers twitch as I cracked open my eyes.
"Tyler!! She's waking up!!"
I snap my eyes shut again, momentarily blinded by the brightness. Tyler? My... dad?
What is going on??

Last thing I remember, the world was falling apart.
Or... was it?
My surroundings slowly register as I open my eyes fully. The walls are bright white, the ceiling made of industrial tiles. All I can hear is something beeping, and I realize the amount of tubes and wires I'm surrounded by.
"Ivory? Ivory, can you talk?"
"Amaya, it's been a year, she's going to have some trouble."

I looked towards the voices and vaguely identified the blurry faces of my parents.

Where am I?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ivory!!" my mom cries, hugging me tightly and I try to move my arms. "I can't believe you're finally awake!!"
I'm about to open my mouth to speak, but I realize what my dad said. What did he mean by, 'it's been a year'?
"Mom?" I finally manage to ask. "Dad? Where... Where am I?" I mentally cringe at the croakiness of myvoice.
"Oh sweetie... Of course you don't remember, it's been so long..." Mom sighs, sitting in the chair next to my bed.

I grinned and raced down the street, my best friend Bianca following close behind.
"IVORY!!" she whined. "Give it back!!"
"Never!!"I yelled, skidding around the street corner.
"Ugh!! YOU EVIL BITCH!!" she shrieked, tearing after me.
I sprinted towards the park, climbing up the playground set to the slide tower.
"Alright, alright..." I huffed, resting my hands on my knees. "You win."
"Thank you," she beamed. "Now give it back."
I slid the black diary down the slide, frowning at my defeat. "I'm such a pushover. I hate when you win."
"Which is why I LOVE it," she grins, clutching the diary to her side.
I laugh as she continues. "Now get down here so I can kick your ass!!"
"No thanks!" I called down, sitting on the railing.
"You're gonna fall and break your arm again, genius," she laughed.
"Nope!"
"Hey! HEY!! DON'T-" someone was screaming, but was cut short suddenly.
By the harsh clips of gunfire.
Bianca screamed and ducked.
I tried to do the same, but my foot...
"My foot!" I gasped, struggling to get it out from where it was caught between two of the bars.

"You were shot in the stomach and you fell back onto your head," Dad finishes for Mom, because she's starting to cry too hard.
"And you've been in a coma ever since," she finally manages to say, wiping her eyes.
I've lost... a YEAR of my life?? I think, feeling shocked. From the summer I was 13 to now, the summer when I'm 14. A year and a day.
Just gone.

I sit up, my voice full of anticipation. "Where are they??" I pout, frowning at the nurse, a kind woman with dark brown hair and eyes that are always smiling.
"On their way, Ivory," she smiles, checking all the monitors I'm surrounded by. "You are so impatient."
"Well, if you had been asleep for a year and haven't seen your friends the whole time, you'd be impatient too," I snap, smiling good-naturedly. She laughs and walks out.
"IVORY!!!!!!!!!!" two people shriek and run into my room. I laugh as I get practically suffocated by two people hugging me.
"Bianca!!! Mady!!!" I grin, looking at my two best friends, who are almost opposites of eachother. Mady has dark brown hair, light green eyes, and is pretty tall compared to others our age. Bianca, on the other hand, is tiny in height, with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. Both have grins plastered on their faces that match mine.
I've missed them so much.

August 15, 2009

I start my sophomore year in 10 days. Since I skipped kindergarten but then missed a year, I'm in the same grade as my friends. Which is very, very helpful.
The first thing I do when I get home is run upstairs and jump onto my bed, burying my face in the pillows. I toss my sketchbooks onto my dresser, looking around at my room. The walls are the same deep green with white accents at the top and black cherrywood moldings. Same black metal bedframe, same white down comforter, same green dresser.
Same old, same old.
The sketchbooks? I filled three of them with the bizzare dream I had during my coma. I laugh at a lot of them. Vampires?
I can't believe how crazy it's all been, I think as I fall asleep.

3rd person POV

The older boy sat lazily in the tree, waiting impatiently for the younger one to do his job.
And, in a flash, he appeared, crouching on the branch beside the older one, clutching three black leather books. His pale blonde hair and porcelain skin shone in the moonlight, and his ice blue eyes glowed.
"You took your time, Leo," the older boy commented dryly, flashing a smirk.
"Shut up," Leo hissed. "Your girlfriend takes forever to fall asleep."
The older boy rolled his eyes and narrowly caught the notebook thrown at his head.
"Nice work," he grinned after a while, flipping through the pages of drawings. "Possibly your best."
"And most exhausting..." Leo grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest as a piece of hair flopped over his eyes. "You owe me, Alec. Big time."
Alec simply smiled. "Nice way to keep her occupied, with the whole 'ancient-evil' thing."
"I tried my best," Leo grinned, nodding. "So when are they coming?"
"Her birthday," Alec responded automatically, looking in through the window at the sleeping teenager.
"So you're just gonna stalk her until then?" Leo joked.
Alec smiled and shook his head. "Good idea, but not necessary."

"2 months and 16 days until she's mine."
