Breakeven.

Part Four

The beeps started to go up, as his heart rate slowly returned to normal. The brown-haired boy tossed and turned in his bed, as if he was having a nightmare. In his dream, he was running away from a silver Chevy. He dreamed of a girl, lying on the ground beside him when the truck ran over him. The girl was beautiful, her curled hair swam down her bare back - which was covered in blood. Noah!, the girl in his dream cried, she opened her mouth to say something else, but something awoke Noah before he could respond to the girl.
"Noah?" A honey-sweet voice cooed. It was Mia. She held his hand as she said, "It's all right, you got into a car crash, but you'll make it, don't worry."
"That's it?" Noah asked, "I get out of the crash without any damage?"
Mia pursed her lips into a tight line, "Well, you can't do any physical activity for the next few months, and...."
"What?! But the basketball season starts in a month!"
"Basketball seasons over, honey," Mia said with a laugh.
Then she grimaced, "You've forgotten all about the past six months. But that's okay. Things will be back to normal when school starts in a few months; we'll be the It Couple again," Mia said with her signature smile. The smile that made boys want to do her and hers want to be her.
Noah felt a tingle of melancholy when she smiled, he remembered how lonely he sometimes felt with her. He had lots of friends and even more girls vying for his attention, but there was something - rather, someone he was missing.
"Mia," he began, "did anything big...or any big changes happen to my life in the time I can't remember?"
Mia frowned and stared and the tips of her stilettos, "No," she whispered. She didn't look like herself, she looked weak and hurt. Not like the radiant Mia Noah had once loved.
Whatever emotion had taken over was gone, "You won national championships! Next year is going to be amazing, ok? We'll win prom king and queen again, this whole mess'll be out of the way, you won't even remember it when you look back. Don't even ask about everything that's happend in the last few months, don't worry about it, it's not important," Mia droned on. But Noah wasn't listening. Something else caught his attention.
The girl from his dream.
