No more than four

Damon

I'm sitting in the living room getting impatient wanting out of this hell hole we're in. I really don't like these mother fuckers much. These people aren't my type that I associate with. I feel like killing them all and being done with it. I'm not a nice guy and never had been. I have deep dark secret and I'm a damn monster. I don't need this shit. The only bright spot in this dim place is her. But she's not enough to keep my thoughts occupied and my demons at bay.

I have to get back to reality before I lose my mind. I have a businesses to run. Responsibilities and a gang to get back to and quick. Before Marco gets it in his head to try and take over my shit. The bastard has been a bane In my side for years. Always trying to take over my territory and turn others against me. It's time to get out of here.

"I'm tired of this shit, I'm going to look around the town and see if I find anything or anyone. Someone wanna come with?" The sooner the better.

"Sure I'll go with you I want out of this place like now." Tuck said after grabbing a water and headed for the door.

"I'll hang back with temptress, don't want to leave her alone." Of course not.
"Hell no! I'm going to just hang on." As she grabs a pair of sunglasses and bolts off around Jax. "Guess we're all going." Said Julian with a huff.

Leaving are so called homestead we head out. Two hours later we come trudging back in. All we seen is empty abandon buildings and not a damn soul in sight. It's like it's a damn ghost town.
The buildings looked old and it's all dusty like we're in an old western movie. My temper is on high. Im tired, dirty, and fed up! We all are and looks like there's no way back home. I grab my switchblade out and start playing with it trying to ease my anger but it's not helping. I want to hit something or someone. We're all on edge and this shit isn't funny anymore.

"What now? This is a nightmare come true. It's outrageous and I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what do? Im gonna lose my job. My house. My school placement. Everything. This can not be happening. Someone please wake me up!" We all feel the same. Wish I could get her back. She looks so sad and lost. We all do. But these people aren't my problem.

"Look at this way cookie you have us and we all feel the same way but at least we're not alone." Julian always the peace maker. How is this guy a stripper? Such a damn softie.

"Well I for one am not giving up! I will find a way out of this place. Even it kills me! This is complete and utter bullshit! I feel like I'm in the damn Twilight Zone!" Of course Tuck is showing his aggravation he always does. Guys got a temper. He's getting on my damn nerves. Maybe I should kill his ass first. I hate the way my mind goes down these roads all the time. Damn I need beer.

"Got any beer in this place I need to get completely drunk to deal with you fuckers!"

I make my way to the kitchen. Slamming the fridge open. Yes! There on the bottom shelf is a six pack of cold beer now all I need is a blunt and some good pussy. I look over to Kyra. Wonder what she's in to? Nah to innocent I don't do virgins. Too messy. But damn she looks good.
Yea I really need to get high.

"Hand me one of those will ya?" Jax of course. Guys way too happy to be here. Makes me nervous. I hand him a beer and go back to the couch. This is useless. We need to get a grip and try to come to terms with what's going on and figure this shit out. We're getting nowhere this way.

"Guys we need to calm our heads and think clearly and work this out. Yelling is not getting us anywhere. Arguing is not getting us anywhere. Somehow, some way, we need to regroup and think rationally. There has to be a reason and a way." I try to relax and think logically. It happened with the quake. That much we know. It happened at night and it seems it only happened to us, but why? That's the question. Why just us? Four men and one girl who basically don't even know each other and have absolutely nothing in common I don't think any of us truly want to be here. Maybe it's the Gods playing tricks on us. Maybe it's purgatory. Maybe we're all crazy? Who the hell knows?

Kyra sits besides me and grabs my hand. Wtf? She looks at me and sighs and then grants me one of her beautiful smiles.

"It's going to be ok. We will get through this. We will find a way home. I have absolute faith in that."
Is she crazy? Beautiful but crazy. I pull my hand back.

"I don't like to be touched!" I quip.

"Oh sorry" she gives me sad look and walks off. Damn why did I say that? Wasn't trying to be rude but I really don't like someone's hands on me. Unless I give them permission of course. I'm fucked up that way.

"I'm sorry Kyra. I didn't mean to upset you. I just have..well I have..this condition that is.." fuck I can't even talk.

"It's ok I understand." She smiles and walks off. Damn I'm an idiot. It's my demons I just can't get close to anybody. I've tried. I truly have. I can't even let someone touch me during sex. I have to have control. But she didn't know that. I'm an ass.
I get up and walk over to her at the island and sit down. I hate that I upset her. It bothers me. I hate when women cry or suffer even if it's my doing. I sigh.

"Look Krya it's not you, it's me. I'm messed up. I've well, I've been through a lot and have issues. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to sound rude." Luckily she smiles at me and tells me it's fine and doesn't Try to touch me again. But I feel bad. I get up and head to my room. I need to get away. I don't why but when I'm around her I find it hard to breathe.
Me and my fucked up past. Can't even be touched by a woman. How messed up is that? I crash down on my bed throwing my empty beer bottle across the room, I close my eyes and drift off into a restless sleep.
