Silent Majority (A Zombie Apocalypse Story) *book two of: Prodigy Suicide*

Chapter 21 - Alone

I don't know how but I managed to walk back inside. I ignored the peculiar looks the guards gave me as my heart was torn into millions. I'd never felt so horrible.

My drenched feet patterned against the cold floor and my clothes drip of rain water. But all I could do was care less. I was in pain.

I see two feet stand before me, I look up to see Juliet. With all the group behind her, expect for Dylan.

"Julie?" I squeak.

"Kendall." She says firmly, her eyes studying me with anger. My eyes flicker over to minho who has a look of anger.

"What's going on?" I whisper, my voice sounding harshly rasp and weak.

"Why didn't you tell us?" She says. My heart throbs again.

"What?"

"You know what. Don't play dumb." Minho butts in. My eyes look at Jordan who seems ashamed.

"You've been planning an attack against CAIGE and haven't told us? Then you go out today and almost die and commit to this mission? What's gotten into you?" Juliet growls. I didn't think I could feel worse.

Guess I could.

"I didn't know how to tell you guys, I mean, I was allo-"

"I don't even care. The fact that you couldn't tell any of your friends this is just, betrayal." Juliet spits, making me almost faint. Why is everyone against me?

"Are you serious guys? Do you really think I'd be like that?" I say, looking at Jordan.

"Unfortunately, yes." Minho says. My jaw hardens and I feel anger and sadness at the same time.

"It's cold of you to act such a way Kendall." Jordan says, making my head snap up.

"Jordan don't be like-"

"Be like what? Honest?" He says, making me go silent. I felt absolutely shattered, I really didn't want to deal with this.

I look at Anna, who looks just as mad as Minho.

"I thought we were buddies with this kind of stuff Kendall? Guess not." Anna says, making my eyes drop to the ground. I was loosing everyone one by one.

"If you can't even tell your own group something like this, then why are you even still in it?" Juliet says, but I stare at the ground. It's just silence.

"Well, seems like Kendalls made her choice. She's out." Minho confirms, making my head snap up.

"What?" I say, but barely audible. They all shake their heads, and walk off. Liam and Erin both give me a look of shame, as I give them one of plead.

I try to follow them, but Minho pushes me away.

"Go hang out with your new group, Kendall." He says. He used my actual name.

My eyes soften as they all leave. I stand alone. In the cold corridor which leads to several places. But not one of those places is hope.

I'm officially done. I can't stand it. Everything is gone, everyone is gone. I've been blamed for trying to do the right thing. But I should've know, because everything I do, backfires.

I should've known that by now.

-

The water ran down my goosebumps skin as I sit on the cold tiled floor. My naked body trying to feel relaxed in the steaming shower, but I only feel weaker.

I let the tears loose. Smashing the bottle the crammed my emotions. I could feel myself leaving, like I was loosing a part of me. My heart.

Everything just came piling down on me and now I'm wishing I died back there. I should've let CAIGE taken me, it would've been a lot nicer than what it is here.

My breathing becomes uneven as I try to calm myself, but it only becomes harder. My lungs feel as if they're collapsing.

I eventually turn off the water and wrap a towel around my fragile body. I need to let everything out, I need to express this. How did I get rid of my stress in the past?

Dance.

I get changed into some bike shorts and a black singlet. I slip on some socks and walk out of the dorm to the training centre. I walk in to see its completely empty, as everyone should be having dinner now.

I go over to the boom box set up, and press play, letting whatever song come on.

I let all my fear, pride, sadness and heart break out. Showing my pain through my dancing and movements. It's a relaxing feeling, to be able to move freely and express without words.

When the song ends, I'm in short breaths. I go pause the next track and turn around.

"That was amazing."

I almost jump when I see Tristan standing there. I hold back any words and just stand, staring at the ground.

"How are you?" He asks, walking closer to me. I don't do anything.

"Kendall? What's happened?" He's about to place a hand on my shoulder put I push him off.

"I've lost everything." I say, suddenly. He seems taken back.

"I've lost everything! Everyone! I am in pain! And the people who are supposed to love me the most put me here!" I yell, tears threatening to spill.

"I'm alone! I have no one! NOTHING!" I scream, completely loosing it. I fall to the ground and sob, I feel Tristan pull me into his arms as he calms me down.

I've never been such a mess in my whole life. I've never experienced such emotional pain as this.
