The End As We Know It

Chapter 3

They made it through their first night, and it was a peaceful sunrise when Nirvana and Natasha woke up. Their sleep was interrupted by the sun coming up. They both sat up at the same time from across the tent. Looking at each other for a minute, they covered their mouth to stop themselves from laughing.

Nirvana nodded her head to the entrance of the tent, to which Natasha put her thumb up as a yes. They managed to climb out of their tent, and after taking 3 steps Nirvana accidentally kicked Reggie.

"Fuck off" Reggie muttered, kicking her back. Nirvana pouted, continuing to walk to the exit. With Natasha trailing not far behind, when they got outside the sky was a beautiful mixture of blue, orange, red, yellow, and pink.
They both just stood outside the entrance to the tent, staring at silence at the sunrise. Before finally moving to the edge of the cliff and sitting down on its crisscross.

"What are you doing?" A voice asked from behind them making both Nirvana and Natasha jump. Turning around they were met with the face of Brennen Taylor.

"Here's a better question, What are YOU doing?" Nirvana shot back, with a raised eyebrow.

Brennen smirked, "we were just enjoying the fresh air before the chaos comes," he said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Hold up, we?" Natasha asked, looking around for anybody else around the grassy area. Just a second after Sam, Colby, Jake, Corey, and Devyn all came out of the forest trees.

Nirvana and Natasha just stood there, not knowing what to say. They both just shrugged, "I'm minding my own business" Natasha muttered to Nirvana sitting back down at the stop near the edge of the hill. Nirvana nodded and sat back down next to her just enjoying the fresh air.

Before she felt someone sitting down on her right, she could already tell who it was by the sound of the chains and the boots. "Get out" Nirvana demanded, still not looking to her right.

"And why should I?" Colby asked, amusement in his voice since he seemed to like annoying her. Nirvana took a deep breath and decided he wasn't worth her attitude this early in the morning.

After five minutes Natasha checked her watch, "It's 6:30, it would be better if we wake everyone up now before the animals wake up and stuff like that" she pointed out, standing up and wiping her pants down.

She had changed into black yoga pants and a beige sweater when they received their clothes. Nirvana had chosen to stay in her Navy scrubs, the hospital she works at has a dress code for scrubs. And since she was an RN nurse she had to wear Navy and White scrubs, which she found very comfortable.

"How are you comfortable in those?" Jake asked when they walked back to the area they were at. Nirvana looked at him a little offended and checked to see if her uniform was stained.

"Um...have you not looked up the most comfortable uniform? The number one answer is scrubs. Because they're made of cotton and polyester along with a few hints of silk. Plus we have to stretch a lot to reach certain things so they're stretchy. And on days where the hospital does activities or Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fundraisers, etc. Any fun event, we're allowed to wear scrubs with designs on them. But they still have to be our assigned color. Make sense?" Nirvana asked, tilting her head after she finally finished her rant about scrubs.

Jake was astounded by the amount of information she just threw at him. Looking dazed, Sam patted his back making sure he was ok. When he finally got out of his daze he nodded.

"Just a quick question, Where did you go to college, and for how long?" Corey asked, sitting down on the table next to the grassy area.

"Well...Natasha and I went to NYU and we stood in the dorms until our junior year of college we decided to move into a one-floor apartment. It was affordable and they took students for 20% off each rent. So when we graduated, we always wanted to move to LA. So I graduated with my bachelor's degree in nursing. Natasha graduated with her Masters's and her degree in Photography and Arts. However, she's only used her degree for taking pictures for her friends and their Instagrams.
