one : return to The Plane

Reunion

(Liam POV)

10 years ago today, we were all taken from our lives by Airy. After being eliminated, I took it upon myself to take him down, so I did. And everything's been great, I kept in touch with some of the people, not all of them though. I decided to organise a party for us, since it also marks 8 years since everyone's freedom, so that was good atleast. It was great to see Bryce again, i was stupid enough to not stay in contact with him after he got home. He sounded, looked and... still had the kind of alcohol addiction, I guess he's stopped with the whole "I have a life to live" stuff, I guess.
Then, Scenty was a surprise to see again. Or I should probably say Amelia, since that's her real name and all. She seemed to be doing great, and she's still a yoga instructor, after all these years. Couldn't get a hold of Taylor, but I hope she's doing well, since she was a teenager the last time I saw her. She's probably out there, living the average young adult life, wonderful.
Moldy was a surprise too... since she isn't really "Moldy" anymore. I guess she got the mould treated, she also looked a lot better too, and she was super happy about meeting us again... and did I mention her name was Charlotte?
Couldn't get a hold of Tomato, but that makes sense. I'm not gonna have contact with like... an 11 year old when I'm in my thirties, okay?
Other than that, the party went great..!
And it was just like old times, especially for me and Bryce. Walking the streets of San Francisco was... strangely pleasant with the "first batch" as Airy called us. I'm still surprised that Airy went down that easily, he literally fell off of a wet log and died. Like wow. I told Amelia, Bryce & Charlotte about it, and we all laughed at how stupid it was. I took us all to the place I was when I got taken... the Golden Gate Bridge. Still feels like yesterday when I was riding my bike home, and then crashing in some grassy field. We all then took the reunion to the cafe which me and Bryce went to during that big mess, and it was nice to return. Especially since it had changed so much. There we were, all sat in a cafe, awaiting our food, which was of course cake, I mean it's a celebration-! What else are we supposed to have? Tea?
But yeah, it was just regular sponge cake, you know, the good stuff. Except for the fact Bryce got chocolate cake... like the absolute child that he is. Charlotte seemed about done with life by the time she finished her piece and Amelia was making sure she was okay and stuff, whilst me and Bryce sat in silence. Today's also the day when I found out Bryce eats cake with a spoon... don't know how, don't know why. I guess he likes being a social outcast. Did I mention he's working in that same fast food place he was working in, 10 years ago?
Meanwhile, I'm... still working in telemarketing, at this new place which me and Owen found, and it's almost nicer than our old workplace, I'll say that much. And I guess today's a day of discovery, since Charlotte is a freight handler? Seriously? Her of all people? Probably the least solid one out of us 4, but whatever. She's done that job for over a decade so she must be fine when doing it. Walking out of that cafe was like walking out of school, after a long day of hard work. Nothing could ruin this day, nothing at all.
