"Please, please wake up" Lily was shaking ot was a flutter Her fear was fresh, and it was already too ht back," she said, scooting to the edge of the bed "I’et help"

"No Stay" I tried to wrap her than half an inch

"Kaleb?" She threw her body across mine and curled around me like a cat "One second, you were fine, the next, you went pale and fell back on the headboard You have a huge knot on the back of your head I should call someone"

"No" The pain in my body orse than my head, and different froht I could feel h ?"

"Intense It’ll pass" My voice was ragged, like it had been run through a thresher

I hoped it would pass

"After I do this, there’s a really good chance I’ll pass out again"

"I’ll stay with you" She lifted her chin and pressed her lips to ht here"
