Our Definition Of Freedom (Sitkolson)

Preview

"Could you please hurry up, we are losing daylight!" Josh yelled at me and Devin.

Devin and I were behind the rest of the group. We were on our journey into the forest. It was what we had been doing everyday for the last year. At least two of us would go everyday. We only missed going if we were sick or had some sort of special event. It was our place of freedom.

"I just had basketball practice. And Rick here is being a kind person and waiting for me. Unlike other people I know." Devin shouted in response to Josh.

I laughed quietly at their little banter that continued for a couple of minutes. The two always seemed to get into little arguments like this. Obviously they were always joking.

Eventually we were near the little bend in the road that had a trail going off towards a lake. The lake was gorgeous. Whenever I caught Devin looking at my eyes he would tell me they reminded him of the lake. When I asked how he would say that they were both bright, blue, and beautiful.

Devin was definitely the hopeless romantic in our little group. Josh was the very outgoing one with a fascination of all things strange and unusual. Chris was the tall and intimidating one who in reality was a real softy. Ryan was the chill one. He didn't give a fuck about anything and was, well, chill. Vinny was the video game obsessed rapper. I was never really sure of how I had fit into the group. I didn't really have a part, I was just there.

"I will not hesitate to drag both of you and dump you both into the lake." Chris yelled from in the trees.

Devin and I had stopped walking for a minute since Devin's leg had begun hurting. During practice someone "accidentally" jump on his leg. It was probably some higher ranked kid in school. We were never the extremely popular people in school. Everyone had known us as the freaks.

"Could you give us a god damn second. I don't know if you have noticed but someone is actually injured right now." I yelled back.

"Fine, I'll carry him." Chris shouted.

A couple second later we saw Chris jogging towards us. Without a word Devin jumped on his back and we walked into the forest.

Up ahead we could hear laughing from Ryan and Vinny. Josh was yelling at them. I assumed Ryan and Vinny either scared or pulled some sort of prank on Josh. I quietly chuckled hearing Josh yell at the duo. We always had a good time together. That time was our escape from the fucked up world we lived in. It was our chance to have fun, to smile, to be happy for once. But everything went downhill and it all changed, we never meant for any of it to happen.

A/N
So I was listening to Moose Blood and I decided to start a other fanfic. I most likely won't officially start it until January. I'm really excited for this story and I hope you guys are too!
