Oblivion {n.h.}

Chapter 32.

Morning comes quicker than I'd thought, hearing only still; Niall's snoring along with soft whispers of the people who've previously awoken.

Trying not to wake up Niall, zipping the tent open only as he takes a big snore, drowning out the noise I'm causing.

Harry paces between the camp, it only being around six-thirty in the morning, Harry packs up everything he can, making the morning window for us to leave early wide open.

"Harry." I softly call, not wanting to wake the group, but loud enough for him to hear me.

He turns quickly, obviously not hearing a voice for the amount of time he's been working. His eyebrow cocks and he pouts his lip at me, gesturing a 'what the hell do you want?' but in his own way.

"You seen Jackson? I thought he was on watch since five?" I ask him, my wrist rising to my eyes to check my, surprisingly still working watch.

"Saw him about twenty minutes ago, he went to go check on the idiots in the shed; but I haven't seen him since then." Harry replies, half-way turned around and gripping the shotgun he was about to stock up into the jeep.

Worst-case scenarios fly through my head like jets and panic struck my veins; simply nodding at Harry before turning around and running toward the shed where he was last seen.

'What if he was manipulated?'
'What if they killed him?'
'What if they escaped and are plotting to raid the camp right now?'

"Jackson!?" I whisper harshly, snapping myself out of my insidious thoughts, whispering loudly for my slightly older brother.

Silence. Everything is silent and the only thing to be heard is my heart beating and the ringing in my ears.

"Hey." Grey's deep voice booms into my ear, snapping me out of my cinematic event, scarily.

The older boy stands between the bars of what used to be a chicken coop in the shed, separating he and I from each other.

"God you fucking scared me." I tell him, panting as I grab my heart and take a step back from the window.

"Sorry." He chuckles before smirking like he did just a few hours ago, his teeth glowing once again in the morning light.

Brushing his mysterious way of flirting off of my shoulder; I cross my arms and continue to search the area with my eyes for my brother.

"You seen my brother? I can't find him." I murmur to the boy; not exactly hoping or even having courage that he'll have an answer for me.

"The dark haired guy? He came to check on us," Grey points his thumb over his shoulder towards his younger brother who is still sleeping, "went around the back to take a piss and told me he'd be right back. I don't know how you roll, but unless it is, you can go see if he's back there if you'd like." He smirks again as I scoff mentally and uncross my arms.

"Uh, yeah thanks." I tell him- stuttering my first words due to his way of making the situation awkward.

Leaving the boy to his own disgusting thoughts, I come around the corner of the barn, sort of hesitantly, not wanting to see what Grey told me I probably would have seen.

I came around the corner of the long barn and gasp loudly, covering my eyes.

Carly and Jackson; pressed up against the barn, kissing passionately, her hands grasping the side of his face and his hands on her hips lustfully.

"Uh- Jackson?" I speak hesitantly, very much awkwardly breaking up what was obviously an intense moment here, removing my hands from my eyes I clench my teeth and wait for a response.

"-oh." Jackson coughs out, his lips leaving Carly's quickly, pink and swollen from where she'd sucked on them.

She wipes her mouth and pushes her hair behind both her ears before letting her hands fall together and standing there; just waiting for me to blow up on them.

"We were just-" Jackson had tried to speak for the both of them, one of his hands scratching the back of his neck while the other one rubs his mouth.

"I saw." I chuckle out, crossing my arms and leaning against the wall. "I was just coming to check on you, didn't see EITHER of you on watch."

They look between each other expectantly, both not being able to give me a response themselves.

"I get it." I laugh again, "I'm gonna go help Harry  pack up, let out the geeks in the shed in about twenty minutes."

I leave them behind to each other, and probably to finish what they started.

I wasn't at all mad about the situation; out of any girl in this whole group I would be most comfortable with Jackson having Carly as his other most womanly companion.

Walking back around to where Harry remains where he'd been when I last talked to him, now joined with Louis and now a helping Niall.

As I walk closer, Harry gives me a small smile, catching Niall and Louis' attention also.

Niall turns and his face lights up when his eyes fall on mine, a huge smile playing on his face as he opens his arm for me to lock into when I stand next to him.

"You're up early." I tell him, his arm rested upon my waist as he kissed my cheek.

"Get a room." Louis jokes with a smile on his face before he rests his hand on Harry's back and turns to continue packing up the vehicles.

My mind wanders to how happy both of the boys are now after losing their most dearest sisters. Harry lost Gemma but Louis had 6 siblings, leaving everyone except Harry unaware to what happened to the other four before Lottie and Fizzy had gone away.

Harry and Louis were best friends, the only two people who knew each other dearly through this whole thing and years before, and in my eyes it wasn't platonic.

They had something in their eyes when they looked at each other, they loved one another.
