Finally leaving the building felt like a weight left my shoulders, but a part of me didn’t want to leave Jasper behind. Suppressing the thought I let Oliver pull me to the side and ask me about the interrogation. I told him about how he didn’t ask for forgiveness and so he was to be executed, I left out the part about the self examination speech he gave me. I looked at Oliver, he wasn’t wearing his shirt since his bandage needed to breathe. Without his shirt covering his chest I could see his incredibly ripped body.
“You like what you see, Mez?” He joked as he brushed his sun bleached hair out of his eyes. “I forgot you’ve never really seen my without a shirt have you?” I looked back at his face and felt my checks grow hot. “Come with me” Oliver said as he draped his arm around me and brought me back to our building. “Do you wanna grab something to eat?” he asked motioning to the kitchen once we entered the old building. I only shrugged since my gut didn’t feel right, it still must be Jasper. “Why aren’t you talkative? You always like telling me what happened during interrogations. Did something happen? Did he hurt you?”
“No it’s just” I paused trying to think of and answer. “I’m really tired” He most likely knew that I was lying.
“Fine, let’s just go back to my room and hang out.” Oliver said as he bent down to give me a piggy back ride.
“I’m 17 and your 20 Oli, don’t you think we’re a little old for this?” I asked.
“Your never to old.” he responded as I finally climbed on his back carful not to grab his bad shoulder too tight. He hesitated for a minute before running down the hall way and up the first flight of stairs. I yelled in joy as his footsteps and our yells echoed off the walls. We stopped finally at Oliver’s room, it was only halfway down the hall from mine. Opening the door he dropped me on the bed.
Sitting next to me he laid back, “what do you want to do?” Oliver asked staring at the white ceiling. I had no idea, my mind was still on Jasper and I just could get my mind off the topic.
“Have you ever wondered if the government really has our best interests in mind?” I asked with curiosity.
“Why would you ask something like that?” he responded. “You seriously wouldn’t believe what all of the rebels say would you?”
“No, its just..” I started to say before he interrupted.
“Well then stop questioning it, you know what happens when people do. That’s how the Wolves formed. Its because of that twat you brought in and interrogated right? That’s why you wont talk about it, he said something didn’t he?” Oliver was starting to get really worked up at this point.
I sat up, “Just leave Jasper out of this!” I shouted before realizing I had given Oliver everything he needed to kill him tonight if he wanted to. “Just lets just forget about it. I’m sorry.” I felt bad since Oliver and I haven’t gotten into a fight in so long.
“Fine lets forget about it. I know how to get you mind off it.” Oliver said as he sat up. He looked in my eyes for a minute before moving to eliminate the space between us. His mouth lightly touched mine. For a minute I paused not knowing how respond, but, I returned it not at all expecting what would happen when I opened my eyes to finally take a breathe. I expected it to be Jasper, not Oliver. Not realizing it I pulled away, and Oliver gained a hurt look on his face. I had never seen him have that look, I felt bad instantly.
“I’m so sorry it’s just that I, I can’t. I’ve known you for 7 years. It doesn’t feel right.” I said not wanting to say anything about Jasper. “I’m sorry, I’ll go now.” I said getting up and leaving.
Once I had closed the door and took a few steps I could feel tears start to form. Rushing into my room I slammed the door, I just wanted to curl up in a ball and die. Thoughts rushed through my head, I realized the truth in what Jasper had said. It all started flowing into my brain at once, I realized what he meant. We did keep order with fear. Tomorrow there would be half of the army standing around with guns ready to keep order, last year we even had someone be brought in for an almost interrogation because of panic they caused by drinking a little too much and in the end killed someone during an argument. This year alcohol was banned and twice as many guards were posted. I tried thinking of what the government has done for me. They had taken me in after my parents were KIA, they gave me a place to live, they feed me. But they also order me around, and keep me in the dark. Do they give me freedom? Not really, I only have ten days off a year, and they occasional holiday but I worked weekends and weekdays. They only time I left the walls was when it was on an mission. I and three other soldiers did all the executions and rumor said it was because none of the higher ups never wished to get their hands dirty. I also see that if anyone, even a high up soldiers disappeared on ‘missions’.
I looked at the clock, eleven thirty at night. I had to, I had to see Jasper. I opened my door and paused when I passed Oliver’s room. I couldn’t focus on him right now. I couldn’t even ask him to forgive me or even tell him what I was planning. He was to dedicated to his job, even though he was my best friend he still would turn me in. I was on my own now, not even the person closest to be was going to help me. And on top of it all, I was falling HARD for my should be enemy, Jasper.
