It's the year 20XX and I'm right now in between a heated argument. "Dude, that last piece is mine." Joel yelled at Alex and Alex pointed his fork at Joel. "I called dibs earlier," I rolled my eyes at their childish argument over Rosh's homemade bread. "It's the Apocalypse, I don't think dibs matter." Vic interjected but they didn't listen so Rosh did the unbelievable.
Rosh just grabbed the last piece and ate it smugly in front of the two childish man children. "Nice going," Emily gave her a thumbs up while two who were arguing cried in the corner. "Now to serious matter guys," Val called out to us and we all turned to him in seriousness. "What do we do about this thing? Will and his gang wish to leave so its up to us," Val pointed Will and his friends who nodded.
"Isn't obvious, we leave as well." I muttered but Alex looked t me like I grew a third head. "Why is Lex looking at me like that?" I asked, I was getting really uncomfortable. "We should stay and fight thing," Alex mumbled, "not run away like cowards." Will stood and his friends did the same, "I think we better leave now. If you guys do decide to leave, we'll be in our place a fee blocks down. We're leaving when sunsets."
"Bye guys," we said our goodbyes and hugged each other. I apologized to them repeatedly but they said it was okay and even complimented me saying I was cool and very dangerous to be messed with. After they left, I quickly turned to Alex with a deadly expression. If it were for the fat that Vic helped me tie my hair up earlier on, I would have looked like a lion.
"What did you mean by cowards?" I tried asking calmly but Alex didn't give me an answer and turned away. "Alex," I called out to him and he just sighed. "If we can destroy this thing then we should, we can't just run away and let that thing roam around." He argued and I understood what he meant but still. "We need to leave, we can't beat that thing. We have a one year old with us," I argued back but that seemed to piss him off.
"So what? Kai can be sent of with those guys, we need to stay and fight." His voice was a little raised and Vic had her arm around his like she's holding him back. "Are you thinking straight? Sending a baby with strangers we just met? What kind of a godfather are you? Listen to me, we're a group of teenagers who probably don't even how to drive and you want us to fight a monster?" I asked, my voice also getting louder.
"Whatever, I just want to make sure the others are on the same page as me." He turned to the others who just stood there not a word from them. "Same page? We're not even IN THE SAME LIBRARY!" I screamed, why doesn't he just listen to me. "You can leave if you want to, any of you can leave but I'm staying to fight." He said his voice back to its normal volume.
"I'm leaving, who wants to join me?" I asked looking at everyone, Vic and Joel walked over to me and I looked over at Val, "Val?" He avoided my gaze and kept his eyes lowered, I should have known what he said next would break me. "I think we should part ways now and I hope you guys love long. Goodbye, Adrino." I felt my heart shattered, I wanted to scream and to make a scene but I didn't.
"So be it, I hope you guys survive." I said while I tried to keep myself composed and strong. "Rin, I didn't me-" I cut him off, I couldn't bear to hear his voice or hear anything from him. "We're leaving and that's final. Also please don't call me Rin, that's what my friends call me." I knew my heart completely broke at that moment.
I need to leave and that's what I'll do, I need to leave for Kai. "Goodbye, Valentino. Victoria, Joel, go pack." My voice was cold as ice and my eyes were blank with no emotions. "We leave in ten minutes," I picked up Kai and put in the baby carrier. I packed up everything I and Kai needed, this moment feels exactly like how it was a few months ago but without my breaking heart.
"Goodbye," that was the last thing I said before, we started walking towards where Will and his friends would be at. "Are you oka-" Vic asked but I didn't let her finish. "I'm fine, don't worry about it." I said sternly, it was painful to leave but I needed to be strong. Suddenly, droplets of water started falling from the sky, I unhooked Kai and handed him to Vic. "Keep him dry," She pulled an umbrella out of her bag like I knew she would.
Right then, my rubber band snapped and my hair came undone. It was perfect cause it covered my face from the side, I don't want Kai or the others see me be weak. Tears rolled down my cheeks camouflaging themselves with the cold rain water that soaked my body. I left my tears flow freely and they just kept coming on and on and on.
I chocked back my sobs but nobody heard and if they did hear it they didn't mention it. It really hurt knowing that I was leaving the one I love and the ones dearest to me back there to fight a pointless fight and die. My heart was probably broke into a million pieces but I kept quiet about it. I have to for Kai.
