generation lost (Cricky)

**Ricky's p.o.v**

I wake with a start. A high pitch scream fills the air and I sit up. Chris isn't here.

I jump out of the bed, feeling dizzy from getting up so quickly. I stagger towards the door before flinging it open. It's eerily quiet. The usual chatter in the morning is replaced by a deafening silence . I tiptoe down the hall , being as quiet as possible.

Suddenly something grabs me , I try to get it off me but its so strong , I try to scream but its hand is over my mouth as it's dragging me to a window. I'm overwhelmed with thoughts, 'Who is doing this ?' 'WHY are they doing this' 'Where is everybody?' My head is whirling and I feel dizzy. A sense of panic rushes over me but before I can do anything every things black. I've passed out.

My head hurts. I peel my eyes open but it's all dark, There's something on top of me, my mouth opens to scream but nothing comes out. I kick my legs and flail my arms before the thing on top of me moves and a familiar voice greets me.

"Ssh Ricky its Devin" He groaned , sitting up so I could move , and pulling something off of us.. A blanket ? What?...
Oh.
Then I remembered . What happened earlier.

"Devin.." I ask hesitantly "wh-where is everybody ? And - and where are we ?" My voice comes out embarrassingly timid but right now I don't care.

All emotion drops from his face and he looks me straight in the eyes...

*Devin's p.o.v*

Fuck. How am I going to explain this to him. How I couldn't do anything. How I just ran like I was told.

I sigh. Avoiding eye contact. Right now we're in an abandoned building. Its not too bad I guess. But not ideal.

"Ricky. What happened. Andy and his followers. They came. They just got them. We were all downstairs. The first thing Chris did was tell me to grab you and run. I'm so sorry. I could have helped but I didn't" I stop and look at the floor, holding in tears .

"What ? What. Is Chris okay ? What did Andy do to them . Where's Chris ?" Ricky splurged out.

He's started to panic. This isn't good.

"Ricky Ricky listen " I say, grabbing his hands and looking him in the eyes. He's trembling and shaking . "Ricky. Chris will be okay. Ryan will be okay, Angelo will be okay and Josh will be okay. I promise. Andy probably took them back to his 'den' all we have to do is find it , and get them out. " I try to smile but I can't . Ricky breaks down in tears and I pull him into a hug. He doesn't deserve this. Neither does Chris. Or any of them. I hope Josh is okay. I hope they're all okay. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Ricky rang his mum. Telling her that he's going on a trip with his new friends. Of course she'd never dealt with him having friends before so she just said okay. The day flew by fast and soon it was time to sleep. I gave Ricky the blanket and he curled up in it, trying to block out the cold wind.

Hey guys ! So yeah another ridiculously short chapter. Do you guys want long ones that aren't updated as much or short ones that are updated every couple of days ? ~ jade
