Choosing time

Chapter 19

I pulled away from him realizing it was wrong. I know me and Asher weren't dating but I felt guilty about it. Wiping my lips off I stood up and walked out of the room.

I heard him scoff and grumble to himself. Why would I do that? Would Asher be mad? He said he wasn't gonna date me but what if this was pushing it to far? I went to the bathroom to clear my head.

I still liked Asher, I always have and always will. No matter what. I couldn't hide in here forever. Gulping down my fear I went back to the room.

"Look Dax, I liked you and your a great friend but I like someone else." Sitting down next to him.

"I get it, is it that Asher dude?" He asked avoiding all eye contact with me.

"Yea how'd you know?"

"He was giving you those eyes, and the way he looked at me was interesting," He took a long pause before continuing, " If y'all don't work out I'm always here."

"I know you are, I love you." I kissed his cheek and grabbed my speech.

"Love ya too." He smiled as we both stood up to check on the rest. Levi and Ruth were already done with the plan and just talking about how to get good protection and armor for everyone.

Next we went to check on Dominic and Asher, they had three knives and gun that randomly appeared from no where, and multiple heavy objects. Though it wasn't like any they had it was the best we could do.

We called a meeting into the living room. There we all said what we had came up with. I read off my speech to them and we were finally ready.

"Okay so the meeting is at 10:00! We have to discuss the plan, weapons, do the speech, discuss what day to start the attacks, see if anyone can bring anything else..." I kept rambling on and on.

It was nerve racking, after years of this and dealing with them this long. We were putting an end to it. I took a breathe "You know we have a lot to do but we can pull this off!" Staying confident I smiled. "We can the rest out at the meeting.

An hour past, it was 9:30 so we started to make our way back. Walkies in hand and we all had something to protect us. Reaching the destination we were shocked to see how just about the whole city came.

As we walked up to the stand I gave my speech and had everyone share there weapons and plans we had come up with.

"Now citizens, any questions for us? We also must come up with a time for the rebel!" I shouted to make sure everyone had heard me.

"What's the plan?" Some lady in the back yelled.

Ruth stepped forward to answer, "We've seen the side and know the ins and outs of that place. We'll direct y'all to the building with the people in it, there we'll surround and ambush them!"

"They have guns how will we defend ourselves?" Another person spoke out.

"Many ways from knives and kitchen ware to a gun of our own. And many more! We encourage you to help out and supply weapons to not only yourselves but others!" Asher showed off the gun giving them hope since guns were banned here.

"What about the rest of The Rich City? The people are just as bad!" A man standing close to the front yelled. He was so close you could smell the cigarettes he had smoked.

We didn't want to give it away that we had seen the other side, for all they knew was we were from this side. They didn't know we escaped execution.

"I've heard stories and have studied different things about them, they are as afraid of the government as we were!" Dex helps us by answering the question for us.

After a while the questions died down. Everyone got quieter and calmer. We still needed to discuss one more thing though. The time.

"So what time and day should we attack?" Everyone debated arguing many different times and dates. The arguing got out of control after a few minutes.

"Alright people, that's enough! Give me a few ideas and we'll take a vote!" Dex stepped in again proving to be a great addition to add.

Everyone gave their input and Dex wrote the three best on a piece of paper. He listed them off and took the votes.

It was decided that in two days and at 6:00 am we would attack the building and hopefully end this abuse they put us through.
