I am an hourglass.
My seventeen years have collapsed and buried me from the inside out.
My legs feel full of sand and stapled together, my mind overflowing with
grains of indecision, choices unmade and impatient as time runs out of my
body. The small hand of a clock taps me at one and two, three and four,
whispering hello, get up, stand up, it’s time to
wake up
wake up

“Wake up,” he whispers.
A sharp intake of breath and I’m awake but not up, surprised but not
scared, somehow staring into the very desperately green eyes that seem to
know too much, too well. Aaron Warner Anderson is bent over me, his
worried eyes inspecting me, his hand caught in the air like he might’ve been
about to touch me.

He jerks back.
He stares, unblinking, chest rising and falling.
“Good morning,” I assume. I’m unsure of my voice, of the hour and
this day, of these words leaving my lips and this body that contains me.
I notice he’s wearing a white button-down, half untucked into his
curiously unrumpled black slacks. His shirtsleeves are folded, pushed up
past his elbows.

His smile looks like it hurts.
I pull myself into a seated position and Warner shifts to accommodate
me. I have to close my eyes to steady the sudden dizziness, but I force
myself to remain still until the feeling passes.
I’m tired and weak from hunger, but other than a few general aches, I
seem to be fine. I’m alive. I’m breathing and blinking and feeling human
and I know exactly why.

I meet his eyes. “You saved my life.”
I was shot in the chest.
Warner’s father put a bullet in my body and I can still feel the echoes
of it. If I focus, I can relive the exact moment it happened; the pain: so
intense, so excruciating; I’ll never be able to forget it.
I suck in a startled breath.

I’m finally aware of the familiar foreignness of this room and I’m
quickly seized by a panic that screams I did not wake up where I fell asleep.
My heart is racing and I’m inching away from him, hitting my back against
the headboard, clutching at these sheets, trying not to stare at the chandelier
I remember all too well—
“It’s okay—” Warner is saying. “It’s all right—”
“What am I doing here?” Panic, panic; terror clouds my consciousness.
“Why did you bring me here again—?”
“Juliette, please, I’m not going to hurt you—”
“Then why did you bring me here?” My voice is starting to break and
I’m struggling to keep it steady. “Why bring me back to this hellhole—”
“I had to hide you.” He exhales, looks up at the wall.

“What? Why?”
“No one knows you’re alive.” He turns to look at me. “I had to get
back to base. I needed to pretend everything was back to normal and I was
running out of time.”
