“Atlas!” I bolted upright, my eyes narrowing at the spot where the cliff should be.
The surface beneath me was softer and I wall glared back at me.
“Julia! You shouldn’t be sitting upright now!”
My neck snapped in the direction of the voice and relief washed over me as I saw Greta.
“Wha— where is Atlas?”
“He’s outside. Alive and giving security a lecture for the seventh time today?”
“But…” Nothing made sense.
“You blacked out and uh, I forcefully got you guys discharged from the hospital. I couldn’t risk another mishap.”
“Wait. I…” I trailed off, “I saved Atlas? We… we made it out alive?”
“Well, you had a dislocated arm and he bled out like a hose, but he’s fine.”
A soft burst of laughter escaped my lips and I threw my legs over the bed.
“Julia, wait. Where are you going?!”
