Bermuda Triangle

 "What do you mean he is not waking up?" I asked.

"I have been trying to get him to wake up for hours but.." Thomas trailed off and I pushed past him. We weren't too far off from where they slept so I ran. Shay was already there as I busted through the overgrown branches and he looked up at me with a sullen expression that torched his face.

"I don't know what's wrong with him." Shay told me and I sat next to Ellfie I touched his arm slightly. It was already cold. He has been gone for quite some time now. The smell of the heat hitting him already was getting too strong.

"What happened to him?" Katie asked.

"Could be a number of things heart attack or stroke or plainly because he was old." Shay told her.

"He wasn't that old."

"Honey he had to be closing in on 100."

"That's young."

"In what universe?"

"My own."

"Baby the old dies there is nothing we can do."

I thought of trying to do CPR but deep down I knew it wouldn't work so I made myself lean back and focus on my fastening breath.

"Not Ellfie too." Vega cried and I wished she would settle down. Too much stress would hurt the baby especially this early on. I thought of comforting her.. but....

I'm not like Dan I refuse too.. I simply don't care enough.

This entire experience here is breaking my own heart and that's the only heart I need to be caring for right now.

"He was healthy. Wasn't he?" Katie asked but I believe she was surprised about how loud her voice portrayed itself.

"I think so. He never complained." Thomas told her. "Every once in awhile he did complain about food not digesting correctly but that should not have been enough to kill him."

"Yeah but it should have been quicker." Shay said and we all looked at him.

"Well you are one ungrateful son of a bitch. We work on my time not your's." Thomas growled at him and I clapped my hands together.

The entire group looked at me. I'm the center of attention again..Fantastic. "What the hell do you mean by quicker Shay?" I asked.

"I mean nothing by it. I just had asked Thomas to help me with something over a month ago."

"I'm not like you Shay I have feelings." Thomas said.

"Be a man."

"Your brother had more feelings than everyone here. Is he not a man?"

"He isn't and I straight out told him that more than once in his lifetime."

"Was that the last thing you ever told him?"

"No actually it wasn't."

"For once Shay stop being a prick and just be thankful I'm a low key kind of guy."

"I'm not getting what is going on?" Vega said as she sat down.

"And the pregnant lady has spoken." Shay said and Vega tossed a bit of dirt at him.

"Shay not everything is about you a friend of our's just died and all you are worried about is something Thomas didn't do for you months ago. Get your fucking priorities straight."

"He's dead. What else can you do? Why cry about it when you can work to get your mind off of him. Maybe you should try that Vega instead crying yourself to sleep every night."
