All Chapters of Our Surface: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anna's POV“Anna Noel Mackenzie!” Erica was back the next day and I couldn’t understand why she was yelling.“Keep your voice down” I whispered to them and was surprised that this time she made an effort to keep her voice down. “You're a betrayer” I couldn't understand what she meant by that.Why would I betray her? Was she referring to me or someone else? Was there another girl who did? “I trusted you,” She said and I felt a cold chill run up my spine. Who was she talking about? Had I done something wrong?“Chill Anna, you should see your face now” She suddenly laughed in between gasping breaths. “It is hilarious to watch your whole face turn into one big question mark” That comment sent a wave of confusion throughout my head, but I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. I was confused. Confused beyond belief. “You are scaring me was all I could manage to say” I managed to choke out before taking another step back, trying to get away from her.My legs gave way under my

Caden’s POVI met Sean in my living room when I had gone back home. I don't know how he got in, I don't think I left a key, so how did he get in?He wasn't even acting as if he just broke into my house - yes he broke in.“Stop looking at me like that,” Sean told me. “I took one of your keys, it's not a big deal” It was typical of Sean to say something like that.I ignored him and started moving to my room but he sprang off the creamed-coloured couch and ran after me.“Caden are you not going to tell me what you have been up to?” He was looking at me and trying not to smirk and it wasn't hard to tell that he had also seen the pictures of me and Anna that were going around.But that didn’t mean that I should talk about it to him, don’t get me wrong, there was just nothing to talk about.“You don’t need to know,” I told him. “Not everything is your business” I added quickly.“Ouch” he feigned hurt placing his hand over his heart but he let out a chuckle.He was used to me and my blunt w

Anna’s POVI woke up to blinding lights and plain white walls as my eyes adjusted. It looked like someone had painted a picture of a hospital room. It was hard not to think about how I’d died when I just woke up in one for the first time.It was a whole dèjá vu feeling. As if my body remembered every moment I’d gone through. My eyes took in my surroundings again, this time with more depth. A couple of empty chairs sat next to my bed with a small window. There were IV poles on each of them but they didn’t seem connected to anything except for me.I tried to adjust but the door swung open and there stood Erica who looked like she was shocked to see me awake.She rushed to my side with different emotions flashing on her face and I could tell she was trying not to cry. “Oh, my god. You’re awake,” she breathed as she reached to touch my head.The contact felt odd. I couldn’t feel any warmth or pressure from her hand so it made me feel weirdly numb. I tried to pull myself up to a seated p

Caden’s POVAunt Marie had an asthma attack, and Sean called to inform me. His voice sounded as if he was trying to be brave or something, but that didn't make any sense at all because I could tell he was upset. He was still breathing heavily into the phone like he wanted to cry, but he was trying not to let it show how bad things were for him. I abandoned work immediately, it wasn't like I had anything to do at the moment.I noticed that Anna still hadn't resumed. Her strawberry-blonde friend had told me about her accident without details but she didn't give me the details.I hurried into my Audi and drove to the address Sean had given me.“Saints Hospital” was written in large letters across the building's white façade. It looked rather modern, with lots of glass windows.It felt odd being here, I couldn't remember the last time I had been to a hospital, it sent weird chills down my spine.I parked my car outside the front entrance and then entered. There was no one else waiting

Anna's POVI groaned when I woke up again, trying to understand what was happening. This time I was more aware I had passed out, I tried to sit up and it was only then my eyes met those sapphire blue ones.It made me question my sanity, was I dreaming or not? I was certain I was dreaming, I was dreaming. I wasn’t sure about passing out anymore.Maybe the impact of the alley on my head was making me imagine things. But why was Caden Gallagher the first person my mind had to imagine?I wasn’t joking, I imagined sitting where Erica had sat, his blue eyes boring into my soul like he was seeing something no one else could see.Seeing things I didn’t want him to see.“You are awake” It wasn't a question so I wasn't sure of how to respond to that.His gaze was still unwavering and I couldn't bear to look at him, afraid of what my face might give away so I looked at the door instead.“How are you feeling?” his rich musical voice with a hint of that slight accent asked me after a hundred hours
