8:00am
Today is our day to run for food. We have nothing left. It really sucks because we have to drive all the way out to Zone 6. The food storage facility is BL/ind. Owned, but the Killjoys have taken over without BL noticing. Killjoys who work there will dress up as dracs, incase real dracs come to check stalk, which hasn’t happened in forever. So we have to dress up as dracs just in case. They know we’re Killjoys by having a neon bracelet on under our sleeves.
8:20am
Everyone one was up now, even the Agent.
“So, we’re all clear that only Celly, Hydro, Exploder, and I are going to going right?” he said pointing to each one of us and them himself. I mean we all already knew this, but he loves to make sure everyone knows then plan.
“So, I guess silence stands for agreement then.”
I rolled my eyes and stood up, I was semi annoyed with the fact that we were leaving out home base with Abby who is basically some random chick. I mean we knew her from school, but she had just transferred the year of the event. She showed up on our doorstep only four months ago. She had “finally escaped from the wrong ways of BL/ind and needed somewhere to call home.” I really think she is up to something, because why after so long did she finally escape? I mean if we left her with anyone else I wouldn’t be as worried, but we are leaving her with the Agent who is on so many pain medications he can’t tell left from right, or up from down. She could do anything to him. I went into Tommy’s bag to see if he had the drug with him, or well hidden, because Abby could take them. The bottle was gone, so I figured he had them.
I walked into the restroom, only to see that Brittney was at my sink. I walked to the next one, trying to avoid any conflict. I know that “my sink” may sound a little weird, but I have photos, notes, art, my hair products, and what little make I had, that I was saving. She was all up in my personal stuff.
“Hey that’s a super adorable picture of you and Nathan.” She said to me, pointing at the picture on the mirror of Nate holding and kissing me.
“Yeah I guess.” I said putting my tooth brush in my mouth, so I wouldn’t have to talk to her anymore. She knew that she was hitting my core. She fucking knew that I don’t talk about him for a reason. Nathan was my boyfriend before he died. My parents didn’t like him, and they wouldn’t let him come into our bomb shelter. They basically left my other half to die. I wanted to stay with him, but to no avail they dragged me downstairs. Through the cameras the put up, I could see he spent his few remaining moments lying on my bed, on his phone with me. His last minutes were spent with me. It’s so hard without my baby.
~Flashback~
“I love you baby.” He whispered to me, trying to keep his voice from cracking. I could see how hurt he was. He looked lost with me.
“I do too, forever and always. Okay?” I let out in-between sobs.
“No baby, don’t cry okay. You’ll be fine with me. Hell, I’ll always be there with you, around you. There will always be a piece of me with you.” He said to me, now crying. “Don’t forget me, and all we’ve done baby. I hear the sirens now, don’t worry dear, we’ll be okay. I promise, one day we’ll be together again. I love you with all of my heart. Please don’t cry anymore baby, I gotta go now. This is breaking my heart.” He was bawling his eyes out.
My Natey, so fragile, so broken, it hurt to see my baby so broken.
I heard the explosion, my heart racing now.
“I…” The electricity went haywire, and my phone went off before I could finish. “Love you Nate.” I scream with my sobs choking me. I looked at my parents who were relaxing behind me.
“You.” I yelled with anger and they jumped.
“What Jordan?” My mother sounded scared.
“You fucking monsters.” I screamed.
“What did you just say Jordan?” My father sternly questioned me, my mother held him back.
“You fucking monsters just left my other half to just fucking die out there. We could of saved him, but you self-centered ego high jerks let him die. I hate both of you.” With that I stormed into my little room in our shelter. I locked the door and ran over to my bag. I went into the front pocket, and grabbed my makeup case. I opened it, and I could just barely see the reflective metal glint in my bag. I rummaged through the bag, finally finding my blade, at the very bottom. I pulled it out, and took the shiny thing to my wrist. I drew lines, just deep enough to feel the pain, just deep enough to see the blood line up in a dotted crimson line. I was absolutely beside myself. Nathan, my one and only was gone. I have no one now, they took my brother. I might as well go too.
~End~
“Jordan!” Brittney yelled in my face. I could hear her voice falter.
I was sitting on the cold tile floor, crying. I must have reacted to my flashback.
“Jordan what’s wrong?” She whispered to me.
“I… I just had a flash back from when Nate died.” I was shaking, and crying.
“Oh. Did I? Oh my god Jordan, I’m so sorry.” She sat down and hugged me.
“No, if anyone is owed an apology, it would be you. I am so sorry I abandoned our friendship for cheer. I thought I could have the best of both worlds, be a cheerleader, and keep my old friends. I was so fucking wrong. I missed you.” I finally got it out. I was so happy.
“I am so sorry that I was mean.”
Knock! Knock!
“Hey girls, you gonna be long, we’d like to get going.”
“No we’ll be out in a second Hydro.” I responded. I got up and washed my face. And put on a white long sleeved shirt, and white skinny jeans on with black shoes. I grabbed the drac ask and white ray gun. Brittney was ready, so she got in the front, and Tommy hopped into the bed of John Henry’s truck. We were off to Zone 6.
