"The door to the lounge opens, causing them to hold their breath..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gear's POV:
For some strange reason, Victor and Heidi walk into the lounge before me. They didn't explain why, they just... did it.
I can't help but listen in to the group's reactions as they realise I'm not there.
"Why is Gear's shirt all ripped up?" Oli ponders, looking a little worried.
"Oli, maybe not now..." Lizzie trembles, causing Oli to just cover his mouth in shock.
Of course, Lana is broken.
Valentina just starts lightly crying.
Valentina: 'I see Heidi walk in with Gear's ripped-up shirt and my heart just... drops and I just... can't help but cry. I think Gear's dead. Lana's boyfriend and our closest ally... he's dead. *Her head would fall into her hand* Fuck me.'
OK, great; everybody's kinda depressed. I gotta get in there.
So... I walk back in, the sword in my hand.
And the mood changes entirely.
"GEAR!" Everybody shouts, standing up.
Well, not Zach, but I anticipated that from the start.
Lana:' *Has a little squealing and giggling fit in the confessional.* I'm crying right now! Gear's still alive and I'm just so glad we can still be together. I'm just so happy right now and I can tell everybody else is too. Well, except Zach, but fuck that tired-ass cunt.'
Lana's crying from the joy of the situation as I put the sword on the shelf and Lana runs into my arms.
I pick her up and started spinning her around as we hug each other.
Lizzie: 'Oh my GOD, these two are so cute together! I'm trying so hard not to die of this cuteness right now... and also not punch Zach because I can tell he's annoyed and wants to yell at us.'
After what felt like an hour, I put her down.
"You're OK..." She sighs, still crying.
I wipe a tear from her eye, smiling at her.
"Why wouldn't I be? I've got you." I reply.
And with that, I kiss her, the rest of the world falling away, even if it was just for a few seconds.
"Aw." Everyone gushes.
And I mean, I don't blame them.
"Well, at least we all know why I'm trying to get out of here now." I grin, pulling Lana closer to me.
"And we couldn't agree more. Now, bring it in, guys! Group hug!" Val shouts, causing a group hug to ensue.
Well, this went a lot better than I expected...
