Stay Home (Machine-gun-kelly)

35

I ran down the one hallway,  looking for an exit. Looking for something. I felt that no matter how fast I ran I wasn't getting anywhere. The sound of gunshots made me feel sick. There was no getting out of here. I made a quick left and ended up in a room full of hospital beds. My mind told me to keep walking. From the distance i heard coughing and turned to that direction. Colson was in the hospital bed, coughing into a mask, pulling it back and there was blood. I rushed over to him but the glass wall blocking me from him was suddenly infront of me.

I felt the tears burn in my eyes as he turned to the side and shut his eyes. He was dying and I couldn't help him.

"Colson"! I yelled but there was no answer. I was to late.

*

I shot up out of bed gasping for air. I quickly turned to see Colson laying next to me still asleep and my heart calmed down.

"Just a dream". I whispered.

I laid back down, cuddling into his side. As I shut my eyes something hit the window and I froze. I slowly turned to look and seen somebody standing there and I screamed. Colson jumped up and grabbed me causing both of us to fall out of the bed.

"What"! He asked. "What. What"? He panicked.

"Someone. Out. There". I gasped and pointed. that's when i seen movement. The person tried to climb down the little patio but fell. Colson slipped his jeans and shoes on and opened the door yelling for Pete. Pete came running in in boxers.

"Someone's out there. Let's go". He said and grabbed his gun.

Pete nodded and ran back to his room. I watched as Colson basically jumped down off the patio and I ran to the door. He was grabbing the guy by the shirt to the front door, a gun to his head. I ran out of the room and down the long hall knocking on the doors of Ned and Toby's room. I made it down the steps and opened the front door to Colson. He dragged this guy in and threw him on the floor and clocked the gun.

"Dont shoot"! The guy pleaded.

"Who are you. What do you want"?

The guy took off his hood and I got sick. It was Leo. Colson hit him with the end of gun and he went back to the floor.

"What the hell"! Toby yelled as he ran down the steps.

Leo looked back over to us and started laughing. "Its you guys". Smirked.

Seconds later two other people ran up the sidewalk. It was Dom and some girl.

"Hold it"! Colson yelled and pointed the gun. Pete came down the steps with his.

"Listen we aren't here to start trouble, tell them Pete". Dom said as he out his hands up.

"What are you doing here"? Pete asked.

Colson put the gun down and walked over to the door, slamming it shut.

The girl bent down and checked on Leo then back to us. "We need help. We ran". She said.

Colson rolled his eyes and put his gun in the waistband of his jeans.

"You ran? What do you mean"? Ned asked.

"Manhattan is bad. They put us in a lock down. No one in or out". Dom said as he helped Leo up to the couch.

"What"? I whispered.

"They had an election. Mitch is in. He locked Manhattan down. Last night". Leo said as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

"We never got told there was going to be an election. You mean to tell me some other old bastard was in charge before Mitch"? Colson asked and walked behind me.

"I guess. Nobody knew anything". The girl spoke. "Oh I'm Lizzy. Colson knows me". She smiled.

Great. Of course he does.

"Well I guess you can crash here if you aren't infected". Ned said and I turned to him.

"Bad idea". I whispered and he shushed me.

Another pet peeve of mine.

"Listen. If you stay then you need to stay down here. The rooms are filled". Toby said.

"We won't take up any space. We were supposed to walk all night but it's so cold out". Lizzy said.
She glanced up to Colson and pouted. "You know I hate the cold".

I rolled my eyes.

"The rules stay. You sleep down here". Colson gritted.

I turned on my heel as Ned tried to get my attention. I didn't want to talk to him right now. I could feel Colson behind me

"Lil"? He questioned once we made it to the kitchen.

"How in the hell is this happening right now. Who is that chick"? I questioned.

Colson sighed. "We dated a while back".

I dragged my hands down my face and turned away from him. "Fucking insane". I whispered.

He wrapped his arms around me and I sighed. It's not his fault.

"She was with me for a month. We didn't do anything together, I refused to have sex with her. At the time I had just lost my mom. Sex wasn't on my mind then. She left me for Dom. Please don't be mad".

I held his hands and laid my head back on his chest. "I'm not mad. I don't want her near you". I said.

Colson let go of my hands and grabbed my breasts, pulling me tighter to him.

"Trust me. I have my hands full with you princess. I wouldn't want to change it". He smirked as he kissed my cheek.

"Oh my bad".

Colson and I turned around to see Lizzy and Dom standing there. Colson didn't let go of me and I kinda wish he did at this point.

"Just wanted to see if you guys were okay but I can that you're busy". Dom smiled.

"Yeah". Colson said and walked me out of the kitchen.

"I guess we'll have to be nice". I mumbled.

"Not looking forward to it". He sighed and we sat on the couch, joining the others in the news of Manhattan.
