Chapter 35: Another

James

Know this might sound cruel but, we buried him in a random house's backyard.

We said our good byes and left, glossy eyes leading us away. All of us, were crying as we made our way down the road.

-

Nighttime, it's a nice time.

Except, I didn't get to fucking sleep cause I had to take the first guard!

But, I also do like to stay up and watch what happens with nature once night time takes over.

It's extremely beautiful; the moon, taking which ever shape it wishes - like a toenail or a full plate; the couple of stars we could see, tracing the "Big Dipper," or "Orion's Belt"; the dozens of planes and helicopters that used to pass by - taking people placing they needed to be. Higher class and rarely any lower class...

I went over to the side of the highway, standing beside the guards that keep me from stepping onto the street. And I stared up at the sky, admiring how one star stood out to me so much. It was almost unbelievable.

I smiled, and stopped procrastinating.

I went in circles around the guys, aiming my gun at the dark distance.

I turned on my flashlight and saw nothing.

'Well this is interesting!'

I turned my flashlight back off and huffed, running my hand through my hair.

I checked my watch and saw that it was already 2:17 AM.

'Wow, time flew by... This is gonna be easier.'

Instead of wandering around in circles, I went back towards the highway guards, leaning against it, staring up at the visible stars.

I smiled at the star I was staring at earlier. It just seems so amazing. It's like I know everything about it and I can say it in a heartbeat.

I looked down at the road and at my dirty shoes.

I quietly laughed and went back over to guys.

I sat down on a log and yawned. I wiped my eyes, scratching my head after.

'Man, I need a shower...'

I woke Cameron up and he got up, letting me take his leaf bed.

Not gonna lie. It was really comfy...

I closed my eyes and waited for myself to fall asleep.

After a while, I still didn't fall asleep.

'Well, fuck me then!'

Cam

'I. Was perfectly fine sleeping, but no you had to be stupid and recruit yourself for the job!'

As I boringly walked in circles around the guys, the sky was slowly and slowly brightening up.

I smiled at the sight and quietly yawned.

"Man, I'm starving." I managed to whisper as I yawned again.

I went over to my book-bag and grabbed a bar of chocolate.

I bit my lip and quickly unwrapped it. I took a small bite, savoring the moment but, you know, it's chocolate... I ended up scarfing it down after I took the first bite...

I let the wrapper fall to the floor and took my knife back in my hand.

I stood in the same place for a bit, just scanning the area.
