The boys on the side of the road [CREWFIC]

13- Roadblock

Sidearms

"This...", D20 said.

I peeked at the front, where Speedy and D20 were, out of curiosity. I couldn't see anything so I simply got up and walked to Speedy, taking his hand in mine as I approached. He squeezed my hand back, but still remained his eyes on the road.

"What is it?", I spoke. D20 spun his head to look at me with dark eyes, but immediately turned his head back.

"Just a roadblock, it's not much of a problem. We can just bypass it", Speedy explained.

"No we can't just bypass it, Speedy! Deluxe and I are going that way", D20 retorqued.

"Then I guess we'll have to go on separate ways from now on...", Speedy said sadly, looking at D20 with sad eyes.

D20 looked down. "I'll park further down the road..."

Speedy nodded reluctantly while I speed-walked in direction of Deluxe that sat crossed legs on the beds. When he saw me coming near him, he frowned and pouted at me.

I simply jumped into Deluxe's arms and hugged him tightly. "Deluxe, I'm sorry...", I whispered.

Deluxe, however, gently pushed me away from his embrace. I looked at him with a shocked and sad face. He shook his head. "It's fine, Sidey, but just don't expect me to forgive you this easily."

"It's just-", I sniffed. "You and D20 are leaving now, and I didn't want to leave you on a bad note..."

"What do you mean we're leaving?", he asked, eyes wide.

"Speedy said we needed to go on separate ways now, and D20 agreed."

"Oh, alright...", he looked down.

"I'll go back to Speedy now. Hopefully you'll forgive me", I gave him a weak smile and left to join Speedy.

"Here'll be fine", I heard Speedy say to D20.

"No, let's go a little bit farther", D20 replyed, keeping on driving.

"D20, here was perflectly fine. Why didn't you stop?", Speedy said. I could hear him losing his chill slowly. I grabbed his hand to reassure him and squeezed it. He turned to look down at me with a weak smile.

"Because! Let's just go a little bit more down the road", D20 insisted.

"Fine, okay! Though, the farther you go, the farther you are from that road you wanted to take, so it's your choice", Speedy gave up.

D20 said nothing after that remark. He remained silent, concentrating on the road in front of him.

After two or three minutes, D20 finally parked on the side of the road.

"So, this is where our-", Speedy started, but was cut short when D20 pointed a gun at his face.

I tried backing up, but I stopped when I heard a click sound coming from behind me. I slowly turned around only to see Deluxe pointing a gun at my head.

"D-Deluxe, what's going on?", I asked, shaking.

"Shut the fuck up, Sidearms", he responded, giving me that cold hard look.

"D20...", Speedy whinned. "What as gotten to you so suddenly?"

I kept my eyes on Deluxe, but I couldn't hear D20 speaking, so I guessed he didn't have an answer to Speedy's question. So I asked him one. "Is it because of the me and Deluxe thing?"

"Or is it me?", Speedy added.

Both of them didn't say a word, didn't move. It was extremely scary, seeing the guy I had small feelings for in front of me, pointing a fucking gun at my head! I was shaking and about to cry, I could feel the tears coming up and ready to leak.

I was still holding hand with Speedy, even if we were back to back. Speedy's hand was shaking in mine, or was it mine shaking in his? Either way, we were both squeezing the other's hand. Was it our final instant together? Hopefully not.

"Sorry", D20 spoke suddenly. At the same time I heard a weird noise, like a skull crushing or something, then Speedy was on the floor. At the same moment, Deluxe shot me an apologitic look before smashing his gun on my temple.

And everything became black.
