Max and the adventure

Chapter 12 the harbor

After a relative long walk, we finally arrive at the harbor. It is harsh black that has a draining feeling to it. The usually dark sun comparison is nothing in comparison to the dark paint on the ground. We finally take a look on the giant ship and its beautiful Eye bleeding cyan paint that has chipped a little, probably over time. We ask someone random:„Hello, do you know what the ship is called?"„Oh it is the uranium ship II" the stranger says with a little bit cranky voice. Like most people we have seen his face is blurred.„What happened to the first one?" Frank asks a little curious, he sounds like a little British girl which makes me giggle a little. the stranger seems to look at us a little tense.„80 years " the person stutters. „80 gosh darn years ago it crashed into the Volcano "Ravese tempa" its not like that wouldn't have happened because of some stupid people shot it with a darn missile" the stranger says becoming slowly outraged by their own feelings. Their cranky voice is becoming more of a stutter than anything. It just awkwardly stops and the stranger walks away like nothing happened. „Huh" i say standing there awkwardly. „It kinda reminds me of something, but i just can't put my finger on it..." Lilath says trying to remember what she is thinking of. us being quiet doesn't mean that the world is, but that doesn't work because it damn is . „Why are you stressing yourself over silence?" Conscience asks finally showing up. „oh because you are so dumb of course." Conscience says their voice getting deeper. I would have rather cried on the ground than this, but i guess beggars can't be choosers... like always. I start to doubt myself as my conscious gets meaner and meaner„Why are you alive anyway, people have died because of you!" It says only sounding like a nearly forgotten memory of it former self, empty hollow and everything it says starts to hurt. Why does this happen so random, its not fair. I try to say something to Frank and Lilath, but i can't get a single sound out of my mouth. They just look at me confused. I look like a stupid crybaby thats holding its stupid tears. „Are you ok?" Frank asks looking concerned for some reason. I just nod in response not being able to say anything. Overwhelmed by random thoughts i fall to the ground. Why is this happening out of the blue?! Why am i here just to suffer here once again?! I eventually let myself cry. My tears, no longer holding in ,they drop down my face like a stupid child. „What is up with Max?" Lilath asks sounding confused for some reason.„ He probably has intrusive thoughts again." Frank says sitting next to me sounding like he is wondering something. I get back up like nothing happened. Tears are still on my face, almost like scars.„Are you alright?" Frank asks me looking straight into my Brown eyes, smiling. „ I guess i'm alright..." I say confused of everything that has happened. All my memories from this place overwhelm me in this very moment like remembering a trauma you nearly forgot.lets dismiss that. We go to the giant boat and ask when it will go. „Hello do you know when it will go?" Lilath asks careful. „ I in-fact work here and it wi"l go on sea in a week." The crew member says their green and pink eyes glowing. „alright see yah in a week then." Frank says  to them getting ready to continue the journey. „Were not quite done here mister!"Lilath grabs Frank by his hood. Frank just looks confused in his rush.„We better reserve tickets before their sold out!" Lilath continues and holds her money.„4 Tickets please." She says surprisingly light in her voice. „Aren't you 3?" The person replies sounding a little confused.„Well we are trying to get our friend so that makes us 4." Lilath says trying to not make an argument.„Oh.. Ok" the crew member replies scratching his head. „I guess we gotta go after we pay." i say trying to losen the tension.„How much would that cost us?" I ask.„40 bucks." The person says sounding a little sick, they scratch their head. Lilath gives them the money. They give Lilath the tickets. I have such a bad feeling about that ship, like i know something bad is just waiting to happen there. Without warning i get a memory of a gunshot a few days ago. I take a deep breath and don't think about it.„Are you really ok Max?" Lilath asks me again.„Yes i am Lilath." I say to her looking into her eyes unlike anyone in my life. For some reason i feel safe around her unlike everything i ever felt. She has a weird warm glow around her that i can barely describe, but i want to describe it so bad. I look to Frank, he seems to be flirting a red rock.„Are you training your flirting skills? Or what are you doing?" I ask Frank a little jokingly. „I actually am training my flirting skills." He says scratching his head. We both laugh a little i sit next to him. „Can i tell you a secret?" Frank asks a little quiet.„Sure," i say open. „Im gay" Frank says looking to the side. „Cool!" I hug him with compassion. „Frank, you know i will support you, right?" I say hugging him  with my whole heart. After a pause we go back to Lilath. „are you going to tell her?" I ask Frank. „I don't know.., maybe in a week or so.." he says a little quiet.„Well thats completely fine, i mean i wouldn't tell everyone my biggest secret too so..." i say a little bit awkwardly. I mean like i said i would never tell anyone that i stole a dollar once, so... you know. Lilath looks at us a little confused. „I'm not even going to ask..." she says to herself a Little quiet, however not too quiet which is why we can hear it. All of the sudden a green  storm appears that makes a few pink trees and so much water float, it is so bad that if it would just stop, it could flood the entire town. „we have to find shelter!" Lilath says panicking. „Maybe we should go  into that motel there!" Frank says pointing at a motel. I can barely make out whats on the big sign, all i can tell is on there is motel in bright grey colors. We run to it, it is quite far away , so we just keep running and running. After more than 10 minutes we finally are at the weird colored street were the motel was in and i kinda am able to the sign : Motel Eich , the most modern motel of its time. Kinda ironic considering how bad modern ones are, but i digress. I open the red double door and we go inside. It looks more like a hotel than a motel which isn't bad at all. We go to the register where a worker with a unreadable face stands. „hello my name is Lilath and these are my friends Frank and Max, we would like to get a night here." Lilath says sounding a little tired.„We have one Room free for the day." The person says,„But we only have 2 beds, so one of you has to share with the other..." they continue with a hint of a devilish smile. Lilath turns to us„Who is going to share one bed?" She asks. „To be honest I wouldn't mind sharing with one of you." I say looking to the person that still looks at us. „I wouldn't mind too" says Lilath. „Alright, so we are going to share the bed" Lilath says. Frank doesn't even look at us, he just turned his head the other way and starts to get red. „Whats wrong Frank?" I ask concerned.„Oh nothing..." he says getting quiet. We both hug him.„ You can tell us anything Frank" we both say concerned.„Do you wanna share a bed? If thats the case thats completely fine just tell us." I say still hugging him. He looks at me in the eyes, the way he does makes me realize that he wants to share the bed with me in a way that no one except us would understand.„Of course can you share the bed with me Frank" I say to him smiling. „So have you finally decided trio?" The person asks curious. „Yes we have!" Lilath says full of energy. „Well that will be 20 bucks please." The worker says reaching his hand for the money.„Of course!" Lilath gives him the money with so much energy that it nearly rips because of her speed. After her paying we go to the green elevator where we all fit. Our room is number 185. As we arrive into the room my eyes start to hurt again. The walls are bright blue with a Dark green checker pattern, the beds are purple with black cushion and its very empty, despite that it smells like strawberry in here. We get ready to bed, Me and Frank get in the bed. It is quite cold in here so we cuddle next to each other. That comforting feeling is so warm that it only gets outmatched by Lilath's warm light. As the day gets even darker we both fall asleep ready for the next day. After an hour of cuddling i fall of the bed on the cold wood flooring. I get back in the bed and i continue cuddling with Frank. I just realized how quiet it is on the late hours of day. I usually watch tv till the early hours of the morning  before i go to sleep so i haven't noticed it. It also is usually party in my neighborhood so i don't get much sleep anyway, but I digress. I guess i'm just going to sleep now... nah i'm just going to talk to myself for no reason. Thats just how I am.
