"Hey, Alice." Aaron replied, giving me a relieved smile. "Uh. It's rather complicated. We should tell your mom you’re awake first. She's been worried."

"Why? What time is it? Did I pass out or something?" I questioned.

"She doesn't remember," Rome stated.

"You state that like it's a fact," Roxas acknowledged.

"She literally doesn't remember," Alec declared.

"What did I say about the human thing," Roxas argued.

"She's not human though," West pointed out.

"Ya, but she doesn't know that," Alec whispered, as though I couldn't hear the entire conversation. Wait. I'm not human?

"What are you guys talking about?" I questioned.

Aaron sighed. "Can you guys step out or something? You're horrible at this."

"You're half as skilled as us. You'll fuck shit up," Roxas accused.

"You've already fucked shit up," Aaron commented, giving him a glare.

"Says the one who kissed her," Roxas retorted.

"If you were stalking, why didn't you intervene sooner?" Aaron snapped back.

"It wasn't my problem until the whole light show. I was ACTUALLY doing my duty," Roxas argued, his voice going up in volume.

"Don't give me that duty crap," Aaron huffed.

"So... can we take this outside?" West wondered.

"Hey, guys? You're gonna make her headache worse." Alec noted.

"Stop reading her mind!" They both snapped at Alec.

Rome sighed, meeting my rather annoyed stare. "You don't need to read her mind. She looks miserable. Can you two stop fighting for five seconds and pay attention?"

They both looked back at me and I sighed. "I'm going back to sleep. Y'all are a part of some hallucination and you’re loud. AND Alec and Rome are right," I grumbled, pulling up the covers and closing my eyes.

My head felt like a drum and if they weren't going to answer my questions, I might as well go back to sleep until I could wake up from this messed up dream.

"She can't go back to sleep," Roxas stated.

"Why not?" Aaron sighed. "She's been through a lot. Let her sleep."

"She'll go through hell if we don't tell her what happened," Roxas argued.

What happened. Oh right...do I really wanna deal with this now? Not really.

"She doesn't feel like dealing with this right now," Alec announced. I peeked an eye open before I realized what the guys were saying earlier.

"Wait," I shot up into a sitting position, looking straight at Alec. "You can read my tho..." I didn't finish as the world began to spin.

"Shit. Catch her." Rome instructed. Aaron caught me when I fell to the side. I would have fallen out of bed if he hadn't.

"Alice," Aaron scolded. "Don't sit up so fast like that."
