Sirens: Reunion

Chapter 22: Was It Worth The Rage?

Down I fell off the edge, I clenched the bullet shell hard in my hand as if it was my comfort. This is how its going to end for me? By dying for a damn bullet?! With out even realizing it, my mouth was open and I was screaming. I never scream, so am I truly scared of dying. With out another thought passing by I fell in the water, it was warm and moved slowly, but at the surface it was wild and crashed hard against the rocks. My lungs began to pinch and squeeze like sucking a Capri sun dry. My legs kicked and my arms paddled as I made my way to the surface. The wind blew more water at me and felt as if I was getting cut by a razor. I coughed a handful of water and inhaled deeply as I was getting pushed closer and closer to the needle like rocks. Where the hell can I go?! Not having enough time to react I was slammed against the rocks, it tore into my sides and my head was thrown into the side of the cliff. The string to my mask broke, snapped, and fell off. "NO NO NO NO!!" I raced to get it back and dove into the water. But it sunk fasIer than I could swim. It faded away as it sunk deeper and deeper, small air bubbles escaped from pockets and the string moved majestically in the water. Then it feel into blackness, no longer visible. I swam up and took in another deep breathe and coughed up more water. "Damn it..." I said in frustration. I was thrown against the rocks again, hitting my brow off an edge. I need to find somewhere safe to stay... I quickly dove underwater again before another wave could hit me, I searched the sides where there couldn't be any Sharpe rocks, but they lined the sides for miles. I looked down and seen a small cave, I breached the surface one last time and dove down to the cave. It was dark and I couldn't see anything, my hand grazed along the top of the cave looking for another way to go when I could see a small light and an air pocket. My head whipped fast above the water taking in as much air as I could. I crawled up and laid on a pile of gravel trying to catch my breathe, finally I stood up. Light shown in through small cracks in the walls and shined into the water.

"How am I going to get out of here? I can't go back the way I came...urrAGGG!!" I yelled in anger and kicked a rock against the wall. I looked down at my hand where the bullet laid.. I wouldn't die for a bullet that killed my bestfriend...especially if I couldn't keep it. I put the bullet into my pocket and began to walk down the cave, each footstep echoed with the crunch of rocks under my feet and my clothes drenched with water making a squish noise every time I moved. As I walked hoping for a way out I began to think. What if tomboy came out this way? No...the rocks would have gotten her. And if it wasn't the rocks then she would have bled to death or sharks would have got her.... "AHH...Shit!" I suddenly fell over and into a small pool of water. "I may be called H2Odelirious sometimes, but this is fucking ridiculous." I groaned and pushed myself up onto my knees. I looked up and seen an opening that lead outside. I could see sand and the ocean waves wash into shore. Its about time I found a way out. I walks out of the cave to find myself being blinded by the sun. What a shit day... Fell of a cliff, got my clothes torn up, shoes ruined, my mask is at the bottom of the ocean and now the sun is setting and vanoss is going to light my ass up for being late. But I got the bullet hehe...I looked to the right of the cave opening and seen a white piece of clothing. I picked it up and held it in my hands. Wasn't tomboy wearing a white shirt that day? I shoved the cloth into my pocket and began my way home.

"Has anyone heard from delirious?" Vanoss questioned in anger and the boys all shook their heads no. "He hasn't came back yet?" Lui questioned coming out of the kitchen. "No, he hasn't called of anything since I called him when we were at ohm's place." Vanoss rubbed his head and sighed. "Maybe he didn't want to show up because he hates ohm." Wildcat said. "I told him to come anyways, it was only going to be until Thursday." Evan plopped down on the couch looking worried. "Do you think the mask got him?" Brian questioned. "No way, there's a very slim chance of the mask and delirious meeting with all the people in town." Criag said needing out. "Plus delirious is probably as equally crazy as the mask if you get him pissed enough." Evan mumbled. "What do you mean?" Broxk gave a confused look to evan wanting him to explain an so did everyone else. "Well, before we were even a group me and delirious were friends and we would rob stores together. He had a real bad temper when ever we got into fights with other gangs over who's terf is who's and all that shit. He would only use a knife... And he would stab them in the neck, have their eyes locked with his, just so he could see the life sucked out of them. But even before we were friends he was known as a masked murder and always got away clean like The Mask." Evan's eyes we set on the floor. "But if delirious is really that crazy how come he didn't get furious when he wrestled tomboy that one time and she kicked the shit out of him." Marcel asked. "Because I managed to teach him how to stay calm, but even then you could tell he was pissed." "Hey Evan." Caring called out as he came out of the computer room. "I checked delirious' tracking device and it says he is right out side. Evan raised a brow. "Really?" He got up to walk to the door, but before he could take a step from the couch the door opened and then closed, and out from behind the corner came delirious. The guys looked at him from head to toe questioning everything about him. Evan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw delirious with out his mask. "Delirious where were you?! What happened?! Where's your mask?!" Evan questioned as he frantically searched his body making sure he was okay. "I don't want to talk about it..." Delirious responded in a deep pissed tone and began to walk upstairs. "What do you mean you don't want to talk about it?! I deserve an explanation!" Evan demanded. "Why weren't you at ohm's place?" Evan asked once more. "I was shopping." Del responded coldly. "Shopping? Shopping doesn't make you wet, clothes torn, and your mask to come off!" Evan followed delirious into his room where Del began to rummage through his closet. "I was hunting in the woods." Del lied again. "WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT IN CALIFORNIA!!" Evan yelled and threw his arms in the air. "At the carnival." Del replied. "Everyone would have thought you were the mask." Evan answered. "I ate at taco bell, you know what Mexican does to me in the bath room." Delirious spat out. "Very funny." Delirious walked pass evan and into the bath room. He pulled out the first aid kit and took his shirt off. Cuts and scraps were all over his chest and sides and bled down in small drops. "Tell me the truth delirious where were you?!" Evan demanded again. "Why don't you ask me later..." Del said like he was a girl and wasn't in the mood. He patched up the cuts on his side and the gash in his forehead. "Are you hiding something from us?" Evan asked trying to look delirious in the eye but he continued to fix him self up. "Are you going to watch my change or are you going to get out?" Delirious asked as he beamed a cold look at him. Evans eyes memorized his face, never being seen before he would take advantage of the moment. His eyes were deep blue, his face was perfectly structured besides a cut that went down his right cheek. But why would he hide it? Delirious knew Evan wasn't going to leave, he had that look on his face saying 'TELL ME' his arms were crossed and he had resting bitch face. Delirious took his pants and boxers off as Evan looked at the ceiling. "You had an option of leaving." Delirious said as he put his dry boxers on. "Why weren't you at ohm's?" Evan ignored what delirious said. "I flipped my car." Delirious began to put on his black sweat pants and slid on a grey long sleeve shirt. "Bullshit you drove your car back!" Evan shot down Del's last excuse and he walk by evan and began his way to his room down the hallway when evan grabbed him by the arm and forced Del to face him. "TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR TRAINING? DO YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DITCH US WHILE WE DO ALL THE WORK?!" Evan screamed into Del's face. The guys have made their way up the steps and began to watch them argue. "I DIDN'T SAY ANY of those things nor is it what I thought." Half way through his sentence delirious realized he was yelling and calmed himself. "THEN TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE!!" Evan demanded louder than ever. Delirious immediately pushed Evan against the wall in anger, Evan went to charge him but Del pushed him against the wall again and pinned his arms back. "MAYBE I DONT WANT TO TELL YOU! MAYBE THERE'S SOME THINGS PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP FROM THE OTHER TO PROTECT THEM!! MAYBE I went somewhere where it ment a lot to me and I would like to keep it to myself because it makes me and maybe some other people emotionly uncomfortable..." Del's face said he was furious, it was scrunched up, and his eyes said he wanted to kill with his eye brows pointing down. Delirious looked to his right and seen the guys watching with wide eyes. Del realized he was getting too angry and loosened his grip around Evan's wrists and he began to feel bad for what he did. Del's eyes fell to the floor. "Its best if you just leave it alone." Delirious's voice was low and soft. Evan began to realized it must have been a touchy subject for either Del or for him and no longer wanted to know where he went. "I..I want you to work twice as hard at ohm's tomorrow." Evan said and walk towards the steps where the guys no longer sat. Both of their heads hung low as they walked in opposite directions. Delirious went to bed and Evan went to dinner with the rest of the guys.
