Over the fence

"Mom" I called as I swung open her bedroom door, I stopped dead in my tracks. My mother, my very own mother arms and legs wrapped around a shirtless man kissing him fiercely a couple of her buttons undone. She quickly pulled away and snapped her head towards me so fast I was afraid she would get whiplash. The man set her down and turned towards me. The second I saw him I was filled with even more disgust then I was before I was so angry, so disappointed. It was one thing for mother to cheat on my father but the fact that it was with this man.

The fact that it was with the infamous Mr. President Lard.

"Colton,'' she whispered her eyes wide with shock she turned to President Lard speechless.

"You should go,'' Her voice was shaky as if she was unsure of what she was saying.

"So soon but we were just getting started,'' He taunted, a sick smirk plastered on his face the way he spoke to her filled me with rage.

"David please.''

He let out a dark chuckle as he picked up his discarded shirt from the floor and walked out the room bumping me bit on his way out.

"Colton please let me explain.''

''No, I don't want to hear It,'' I spat out ''I know what I saw mom and nothing you say is going to change that.''

''Colton please.'' Tears falling down her face now

"No! 'I can't believe you,'' I turned around and began to exit her room but stopped and turned to face her ''oh, and don't worry I won't tell dad that you've been whoring yourself out to that disgusting man for god knows how long. He doesn't deserve that.''

I slammed the door not caring about her reasons or the fact that she was crying I was angry at her and right now I couldn't care less about her and her feelings.

Three days. It's been three days since we got to this hell hole. We still haven't found any drinkable water and I know that if we didn't get some into our system we will die within the next couple weeks.

Lacie sat herself down next to me I could tell she was exhausted, her fiery light red hair was disheveled, her clothes torn and dirty, but despite her grime on her face and the dark bags under eyes. Her smile was still warm, her eyes still sparkled. She still looked beautiful.

"Come on up you get,'' I said lightly pulling her to her feet ''our hunt for drinkable water has not yet ended.''

She groaned dramatically dragging her feet as we went to meet up with everyone else.

"Ready to go?'' I asked the group I chuckled when I heard a chorus of no's.

We walked for miles still not finding any source of water eventually we stopped to rest for a while.

Skye came to sit down next to me resting her head on my shoulder

"Today's her birth day." He voice was low and soft I knew she was referring to my mother she would've been forty today.

When I had caught her cheating it cause a big drift in our relationship. We hardly spoke after that I was angry I never understood why she had done it but the day the officials barged into our house and took them away I had instantly regretted staying angry for so long.

"Skye, I have to tell you something mom...She was having an affair with President Lard.

"What! But why?"

"I'm not sure but I think President Lard always knew about you and mom was sleeping with him to protect you.''

''But that doesn't make sense, why would he kill her then.''

I merely shrugged I honestly didn't know.

Jasper Parker- subject 7

I walked behind Skye and 14 it seems after my very clear warning she seems to have gotten even closer with him. I was a bit jealous but that was not the reason didn't trust him. There was something extremely off about him.

"Hey Skye can we talk for minuet please?" she eyes me suspiciously for moment before agreeing.

"What's up?" she asked

"Nothing much I just wanted to say sorry, you know for the way I've treated you over the years I'm really not that kind of person and I want you to know the real me." I was being genuine I really felt bad. I've been terrible to her and I was trying to make up for it

"Look Jasper hanks for that but to be honest I think your full of shit if you think you can just walk up to me and say sorry and expect me to accept it with open arms and be your best friend, no not after the hell you've put me through.'' She spat out her words like venom and then stalked away.

I was a bit taken back by how harsh she was but I was expecting it. I wouldn't give up I'll keep fighting I'll get her to trust me. I have to. I need her I guess I was just too ignorant to realize it but I truly need her and I'll do anything to get her.

Hi guys so once again I'm so so sorry it's been two months I feel terrible but I'm feeling rather inspired to complete this book so please bear with me. I know this chapter is rather short and is just a filler but I promise you I have big plans that I'm hoping will make you feel so many emotions you won't know what to do. Thank you to all of the people reading it means so much
