New Life

The Beginning of the End PT 1

It's been a few days since Gunner was threatened he thought about telling Petra and Tolani but he was worried for them and their safety.

He woke up in bed in another room since Petra wanted some alone time.

He thought she hated her, but it wasn't that.

Petra's room

She was currently in her night wear looking out the window that views a cave system with waterfalls.

She was on her bed with her arms wrapped around her legs with her blanket wrapped around her.

There was a knock at her door as it was Gunner.

"Petra, are you alright?" He asked her through the door as she looked away from the door and continued to look out the window.

"Just leave me alone Gunner, please." She said as he sighed and walked away.

He was now in tan work shoes, blue jeans, and a white hoodie as he cut his hair to a buzz cut and was currently rocking a small shadow, this was mostly caused from Petra shutting him out, he wanted to help her but he couldn't if she keeps this up.

He made some pancakes for himself and just sat down by himself as he ate it.

Tolani witnessed this and approached him as she placed her hand on his shoulder as he looked at her.

"You alright their luv?" She asked as he gave her a 'what da fuck do you think look' as he didn't answer.

"Sorry poor choice of words, but for real though you look like life means nothing to you anymore, what happened?" She asked as she sat down in front of him.

He looked at her before sighing. "It's Petra, I, she, its, *sigh* she is not telling me, or you what is wrong, I want to help but she just pushes me away, she's been like this for a few days, I'm worried that someone will try and hurt her, we still don't know the sleeper agents are even, I don't know what to do." Gunner informed her as he laid his head back as he sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry but maybe I can help with talking to Petra, it might work if talk to her, maybe help her get some things off her chest." Tolani suggested.

"How can you talk to her?" He asked her.

"Oh my good lord, Gunner luv, there's a big difference between a male and a female in terms of emotions, and how they deal with it, depending on how they were raised, along with how their significant other treats them, and several other factors, but trust me Gunner, it will be fine." Tolani said as she placed a hand on top of his hand as he sighed.

"Alright, I trust you Tola." He said with a smile.

"If you call me Tola, then I'm calling you Gunn." Tolani said.

"Wait what?" Gunner asks.

"You literally punch Joey when he said that but it's actually a great nickname for you, in fact I think I might think of a new nickname to call you and say it to Petra." Tolani said as Gunner tensed up.

"Fine you win, but nothing embarrassing or I'm replacing your tea with something unhealthy." He said.

"If you do that I'll put something very unhealthy in your coffee." She retorted.

"Touché." He replied as she smiled and took a piece of his sorrow pancakes and ate it.

"Oh come on really, I'm here trying to drown myself with my sorrow pancakes and yet here you are eating my sorrow pancakes." Gunner says.

"Dude, if you want to eat something for your sorrows then eat ice cream, your food is too good to be wasted as sorrow food, cause you'll never stop eating it." Tolani said as she took another bite as he just crossed his arms.
