The Umbrella Academy 2

Chapter 5

November 14th 1963

It's been precisely 1367 days since the world decided it was gonna shit me out the sky in an ugly blue cloud. But of the particular 1367 days,this one was the worst.

I had been working at the library. I finally found Luther on November 6th. I was right about my hunch. He was a great boxer, but still a major suck up.

As i said though. I WAS working at the library, but today of all days was the day that all my anger just happened to burst. Literally. I got fired for burning a whole section of the stupid library.

Now I am walking the streets with no job and no current place to stay. I mean i'm not poor but looking for an apartment is a lot of work. I ended up at a coffee shop for the day before they kicked me out due to closing. Then i made my way to a motel

"One room, please." I said

The grumpy teen looked up at me and gave me a creepy smirk. "Need company?"

I never had such an irk. "No, I do not"

The kid scoffed before sliding a room key across the counter and snatching my cash. I walked up to the 2nd floor and locked the door behind me. I plopped on the bed and let out a long sigh. Before i knew it the world faded away.

November 15th 1963

I woke up at noon and got in the shower. There was nothing to do but mope so I'd at least take it seriously.

As I wrapped a towel around me, i exited the bathroom. I was so trained on my hair dropping water on my shoulders I barely noticed Five looking out the window.

"What are you doing here."

"I just fell out of the sky and you thought you wouldn't be the first thing i sought out?" He started towards me. "I missed you."

"Missed me?!? You missed me?!?" I backed away from his touch. "Five, you didn't have the time to miss me."

"Y/n..."

"No Five. I've been here for 3 fucking years. I missed YOU. BECAUSE I CAN MISS YOU WHEN YOU AREN'T HERE FOR 3 YEARS."

"y/n I'm here now."

"I can see that Five. but things have changed. Maybe not for you but certainly for me." I tightened my towel and headed back to the bathroom.

I got dressed and came back out. Five sat on the bed. Waiting.

"Look Five, I know that you only just got here. I don't blame you but I do know I've been here for 3 years... alone. Everyone else has moved on. I AM ready to move on. I'm not about to go and jumble up their lives because I can't watch my favorite tv shows anymore."

I started towards the door.

"The world will end in 10 days."

I paused.

I turned my head to look into his eyes. He looked distressed.

"Y/n... we brought the apocalypse back in time... with us."

I walked over to him slowly and sat down processing this new information. Then I did the only thing I could think to do.

"FUCKKKKK," I screamed.

Someone banged against the wall to tell me to shut up but i ignored it. I started laughing to myself. I turned to Five. He gave me a soft smile that then started to break into laughter.

We flopped back on the bad and stared at the ceiling.

"Five?"

"Yeah!"

"Are we totally fucked this time."

"Well you got blow up by a missile"

"Damn, at least i died in an awesome way."

"That's not awesome."

"You're just mad you don't die in an awesome way."

"Maybe a little."

I chuckled.

"Are we really gonna try to fix this again?" I turned my head towards him.

"I think we would be kind of assholes if we didn't" He turned his head to meet my eyes.

"Saving the world, take 2"

"Next time we can leave it to someone else."

"Yeah- maybe we can make another Umbrella Academy"

"I think our family is screwed up enough."

"True. Do we have time to lay for a little?"

"Always." Five wrapped his arm around me and we both continued to gaze at the ceiling.

I still was angry. I was pissed. I mean the world was gonna end AGAIN. I was sad. I was happy. But in this exact moment all i could really feel was relief. Even though the world was gonna end again. Five was back. So saving this shit show one more time didn't seem to bad.
