Chapter Forty-Six: Evasive

"I keep a record of the wreckage of my life. I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind. They talk shit, but I love it every time. And I realize I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night."

~Nightmare by Halsey~

Revised: September 4, 2022

A/N: I think that this song ^ describes Zion perfectly. It's scary accurate and I just found it the other day haha.

Warnings: abuse, addiction, anxiety, biphobia/homophobia, depression, domestic violence, slight eating disorder, langubage, panic attacks, sexual harassment/assault/abuse, violence, and other mature themes

I apologize in advance for all the character slander in this chapter haha. I swear I love everyone.

Also, I'm updating earlier than I said I would, but the Author's Note at the bottom is important regarding the next chapter, so please leave your ideas there. I'd really appreciate it because I'm currently struggling with writer's block.

Zion's POV

I'm enjoying the sunset on the beach as the sand works its way between my toes.

"HELP!" a girl screams.

I look behind me to see a girl about my age being picked up by a man. She struggles and I immediately run over to save her, "Leave her alone!"

I roundhouse kick the attacker and the girl regains her footing. The man turns to me, "You're going to regret that."

I see the girl running away, leaving me here with this man who's a few inches taller than me. I turn to run away, but hands wrap around my waist and yank me back. I jab my elbow into the soft spot of the guy's neck, cutting off his airway. Then, I do a jumping spin-kick - a move I wasn't even aware I could do -  and knock him down.

"P-Please. Stop," the man pleas from the ground.

Then it hits me. He looks like, "Miguel?"

"Stop hurting me. Please," he looks smaller now and my eyes soften. It's Miguel.

"No, no, I don't want to hurt you," I crouch beside him and he grabs my hand.

"I miss you," he says softly.

"I-I miss you, too, Miggy," I say and he wraps me in a hug. He always gives the best hugs.

"Mercy is a weakness," a voice says behind me. I turn to see another man is standing up and he looks like... Adam.

"No," I whisper and try to stand up to run away in a panic.

I grab Miguel and try to run away with him, but only a few seconds later I hear a gunshot.

I look beside me to see Miguel no longer there. I turn back and see the sand is red and Miguel has collapsed.

"NO!" I scream and rush back over to my best friend's limp body, tears streaming down my face. "M-Miguel," I sob and try to get him up.
