The Middle One Will Die

006: 𝐍𝐨, 𝐧𝐨, 𝐧𝐨

We made a bed place for Asena on the living room couch of our apartment.

"There's no need for that, I won't sleep anyway," she said, but we acted like we didn't hear her.

To be honest, I don't think I'm going to sleep either with all these thoughts running through my mind.

"Salad, anyone?" I asked as the bed was made on the couch.

"Yeah, sure," both of my best friends replied, and I headed in the kitchen next to the living room. There's even no wall between the two rooms, so the way wasn't long at all.

I put a bit of everything in the salad. Things to put in a salad, not everything everything!

"What'd you reckon? About when that something is going to happen?" Asena asked as we were eating the salad on our living room floor.
And yes, we were on the floor, not on the couch, not in the dining table. And not even around the small couch table, as we were drawing at the same time we ate, and there's more space on the floor.

"No glue," I replied to Asena's question. "But I think it's very soon," I added.

"Come on now," Isabella said out of the blue, some kind of frustration in her voice. Asena and I raised our eyebrows at her, and she said: "If we talk about it all the time, we won't stop thinking about it. Let's talk about something else, so maybe we could think about something else, too."
Well, she had a point. A really good point, actually.

"Yes, you're right," I said. "What are you drawing?" I asked them, changing the topic away from the thing that's going to happen.

"Wolves," Asena said. What a surprise! "And it's er, kinda like a chaos. In a forest," she continued and earned my and Isabella's interest, so we leaned over our drawings and salads to see Asena's drawing.

"Hey! It's still in progress!" Asena shouted.

"It doesn't matter. We can look at it now, and when it's ready," I replied, and Asena seemed to be okay with that.

"Well, you have to show your own too," Asena said, and so we did.

After we had finished drawing (it took pretty long, but all turned out really good), we started watching the Harry Potter movies from the first one to the sixth one, as there's not a movie of the last one yet. The sixth one came out only about a month or two ago. Isabella would have preferred to read the books, though -what a surprise!- but she liked watching the movies, too. She has all the books in her room to herself.

No one's most likely surprised when I say that we watched the movies well to the night. We started about at 3pm, but at some point, we realized that we're going to watch them to the morning if we watch them all, so we watched only the first four, and the fourth ended well after midnight, probably somewhere around 3am.

Just when we were finishing, we were scared to death by a loud noise.

"What was that??" I asked, looking vehemently around to see where the loud noise had come from.
However, I didn't see anything, so it had to come from some other apartment in the house, or entirely somewhere else.

"No idea," both of my best friends replied, just as scared.

It had sounded like a loud pam..... a bomb??

"Let's go outside. To see what it was," Asena said.

"Is it really a good idea?" Isabella asked.

"Well, you can stay here, worrying to death what the fuck it was, where it was, and is it going to happen again," Asena said. "But I'm going."

"Alright, fine. Let's go," Isabella agreed.

It was good we hadn't gone to sleep yet, so we could go right outside, just put shoes on before going.
