Livid Love

Yours Eternally

SMUT ALERT 🚨 FOR THIS CHAPTER 😘

We stand in silence, waiting for someone to say something, say anything. But the truth is none of us really knew Gabriella. I wronged her and now I have to live with the fact her last impressions of me were that I'm a terrible person.

A feeling spreads across my body, a mix of so many different feelings. Anxiety to my stomach, tightness to my throat, weakness to my knees, and tears to my eyes. All those feelings come from my heart, spreading outwards like a shockwave.

I dont look around Incase someone notices my vulnerability. The last second passes before we accept it's time to move on. I turn away from the group as quickly as possible and pretend to be occupied with the string cans.

Everyone walks back to camp while Simon approaches me.

"Tell Price I'll be gone for a while" he says

"Ok, why?"

"I'm gonna go look for some more food" he says after a moment.

"Why'd you stutter?" I ask

He blinks,

"I didn't" he says as I see his eyes crinkle through his mask in a smile.

"Alright" I return the smile

"Bye"

"Bye Abeille"

We walk in opposite directions, me to the camp and him to the forest. I deeply want to follow him, see what he's actually going to do because I know that he's not going to get food. It feels as if there's an invisible string tied to each of us ,connecting us, making me want to be close to him.

"Okay, I know this is a tough day for everyone but we need to work on getting out of here, we don't know when the volcanos gonna blow" says price as he rests his elbows on his knees

I stand outside the circle of men, all discussing how we're gonna make a huge antennae out of gun metal. I watch Karie playing with stick figures made of sticks. She makes them dance around in the grass while singing a made up song.

I take a seat beside Alejandro and watch them count up the guns and throw them into a pile,

I think about telling price that Simon went to 'get food' but I figure he needs a break from everyone so I hold my tongue and help them.

"Ok" Price wheezes, sitting back onto his heels, "we should have twenty altogether but there's only nineteen. And the missing one only has two bullets left in it."

"Hold on I think I have one by my bed" says Rudy

I watch him stoop under the door of his hut and search around for a minute before coming back out with a defeated look on his face and his shoulders shrugged.

Well I can't protect Simon's peace any longer, "Simon must've took one" I say

"Is he gone hunting?" Questions Konïg,

I nod

"I'll go find him, tell him we need it" Soap stands up,

"No!" I almost shout. They look at me with concern. "No. He seemed like he wanted to be left alone" I repeat, softer this time.

"Ok lassie" Soap sits back down, a mix of pity and surprise in his tone,

"I'm going to bed" I mumble as I toss one of the guns into the pile of eighteen others.
