We all are shaken, but some of us fall.
It was the drifting memories that always held me back. The fact you can't remember the lost, you'll never know what was found.
Asia was doing better, I could tell she had gotten paler and weaker. To see her in such a state had weakened me and Lucas. Being homesick hadn't helped, I haven't seen my mum in such a long time. I miss her, but I'm seventeen. I'm almost an adult. An adult who can barely stand up for himself.
I had to make decisions. I would have to get a job, get a house sooner or later, and live off whatever I have. Lucas had no idea what he would do, following along whatever I did, most likely must have support from Asia and Mum.
I've come to admit that I'm scared, my fear boils inside of me, but life must go on, that's what it's made for, right?
Lucas seemed happier, he seemed brighter after Asia was found alive. Asia's the only one that would help him to go on with life anyway, right? Going on is all we need anyway. There was Lucas, sitting in a chair with his soft hands on his face. His eyes looked on the ground, but of course, he wasn't looking at it.
I sat on the other side of the room, my eyes glaring the wall. "Lucas?" I broke the silence.
"Yes, Tom?" He said in a sweet voice.
"Do-do you want to go check Asia? See if she's doing okay" I stuttered, which reminded me of when Lucas would always stutter.
"Sure, that's a good idea…" he had slowly gotten up from his seat. His pale eyes hit mine. "Alright, let's go!" I said excited, trying to make the place ‘happier', mostly because of how dark and depressing things seemed so far.
We both walked to the door, exiting. Willow was downstairs. Her hair was in a bun and her amber eyes were on the pot of stew she was helping cook. "Where are you two going?" she asked. "To see Asia," I responded.
"Oh, well, she in the other room." Willow pointed over to a room.
"Thanks," me and Lucas had gone in the room. Asia had a pale face; her eyes were closed, and she had scars. I took out my wand. I whispered a spell to make her scars heal, but they didn't work very well. I knew Handison's powers were strong. But it just needed more time to heal.
"Asia?" Lucas whimpered, he touched her face since he couldn't see her.
"We need to give her time, Lucas…she wakes up in a little."
Both of us waited for Asia to wake up, even though it seemed mildly creepy if we watched her sleep. After a few minutes, Asia's eyes lifted. I could tell that they were heavy. "Asia?" Lucas hugged her. She had been awake before, but this made Lucas happy to see her awake.
"Hello, Tom, Lucas, how are both of you?" Asia said weakly.
"Better that you're gaining your strength!" he happily said.
Hey! Another chapter! Sorry it's short!
