Monika ran with her heart in her throat, her hair flickering in the wind as she made her way over to the car washing area. She silently prayed to herself that Elias would be here only to find... Elias was gone.

She snapped her head to the left when she heard the sound of a car skidding out of the gas station and onto the dirt road through the field. That was Elias's car. It hit her.

"Oh mein Gott. ELIAS!" (Oh my god! ELIAS!) Monika tried to race up to the car, but as soon as she got within a 5-metre distance, Elias would seem to press onto the gas pedal and increase their distance. She huffed as she got down onto her knees, seeing the car drive further and further away. She cursed under her breath as she got back up, turning her back on the car.

"Scheiße." (Shit.) She trudged back to Dominic's car, feeling the hope drain from her chest.

Elias wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead with his forearm as he panted, looking back over at his car. He rolled up the sleeves of his pullover, tossing the window wiper to the side. He stepped through the puddles of water and soap, opening his car door and entering the driver's side.

He saw a blonde-haired woman run towards him, as he squinted to see who it was, he immediately stomped on the gas pedal and skidded out of the gas station.

Elias put his hand around the back of the passenger's seat and looked behind him, there was Monika, running after him like an absolute psychopath. As soon as she got closer, he felt his heart beat faster and faster. He felt the adrenaline coarse through his veins as he stomped on the gas pedal, driving him away from Monika.

He just wanted to go home and relax, away from the chaos. He thought that by leaving the base, he wouldn't need to suffer and drown among the endless drama or chaos, but here it was. The chaos itself was chasing him. Perhaps he was just doomed to stay entangled with whatever was going on.

"H-Hey Dominic?" Marius squeaked as he felt his voice break, mentally facepalming himself as he blushed in embarrassment. Monika was out of the car and he was thankful that it was dark so Dominic couldn't see his face.

"Ja?" (Yes?) Dominic turned over to face Marius, sighing as he put his hands on the car wheel. Marius figured that it was unusual for him to be driving a car when he specialised in driving bikes.

"W-why did you kiss me?" Marius looked into Dominic's eyes as Dominic put his hand on Marius's cheek. Marius growled and put a hand on Dominic's wrist, pulling his hand away from his cheek.

"I want words. Not... actions." He sighed as he inched away from Dominic. Dominic crossed his arms and sighed again. He himself didn't even know. He turned away to look through the window and saw Monika coming back. Thank god she was coming back, or else who else would know what would've happened.

"Hey, guys." Monika reluctantly entered the car and buckled her belt, slowly leaning back into the seats. She nodded, agreeing with herself and the idea that maybe Elias just... didn't want anyone anymore.

The three of them walked sulkily back to the base, making small talk in German until the silence in the air grew awkward due to the lack of subjects to talk about. They all waved off and split up into different directions, each walking up to their own dorm rooms.

Dominic finally was able to sleep on a bed. When Elias was still around, he would just sleep on the floor, couch, armchair or the mattress, wherever he wanted to essentially. Now that Elias was gone, he could finally give his back a break.
