Vault

The Beginning at the End

I clean up the supplies and throw the rest of the salvageable things into a bag and sling it over my shoulder. "So Wentz looks like its you and me against the wasteland now." I say smiling and I see his face light up.

"Oh really? I like the sounds of that." I help him off the table and we make our way back to my room for all of his stuff. "You know we could stay here clean it up hunt for food and gather other survivors we could make our own little community." Wentz says hopefully and I cringe thinking back to before when all I had was metal walls and blue jumpsuits.

"I was thinking actually that we could go back to Metro Ville. They need a doctor there and we would have a place to stay." I say hopefully and look at Wentz he looks a little hurt.

"They didn't let me in." He says softly looking at the ground.

"They didn't let you in because they thought you were a raider. With me by your side they will definitely let you in trust me." I say hopefully walking up and hugging Wentz. I rest my head on his bare chest and listen to his heart beat.

He runs a hand down the back of my hair and sighs resting his chin on my head. "Okay I guess we can try."

"Great! I will pack my stuff." I hop off and gather all the things I wasn't allowed to bring the first time stuffing it all into a small sack provided by Wentz. When I am done Wentz wheels in the cart he made and we begin to load up all of our stuff.

I help wheel the cart from the vaylt and we emerge in the bright sunlight outside. I take a moment to fully appreciate it this time letting its warmth sink into my skin and I take a deep breath and let the air fill my lungs and just let it all in slowly.

I know Wentz thought it was a good idea to remain in the vault and maybe in another life I would have stayed there with him but being out in the open air without walls confining me in it feels like freedom and I don't really want anyone to ever have to be locked up in that place ever again.

I look over to Wentz who is holding the other pull to the cart and see how his skin glows in the sun and I know that this was the right choice.

We make our jouney back to metroville and when the doors open up sheriff Hurley leads us to the clinic. Its small but its enough space to practice medicine and live in. When I stand infront of the small builing peices together from scrap metal and other things I can't help but think about how different and yet similar it is to my life before. But yet as I watch Wentz bring inside the cart and look up to the blue-grey sky above us I know this will be better than the life I lived before. I walk inside and explore the small space. The front of the building holds rooms for patients and also storage for medicine. Most of the cabinets have half empty bottles still on them. In the back is a stair case to the second level. Which is where the living space is. Enough room for a bedroom an office a kitchen and a table. Not much but our own space.

I walk into the bedroom and eye up the bed and throw my bag of stuff on it and sit down. Wentz begins to unpack the cart and I watch as he debates where to put all his stuff. I smile and watch him a feeling blooming in my chest that I have never felt before.

I stand up and walk over to Wentz who looks at me confused I wrap my arms around his neck and lean up on the tips of my toes and press my lips against his. He makes a suprised noise but is quick to pull me closer and press his lips firmly against my own. His arms are firmly around my waist as he pulls me tightly against him my hand travels into his hair as his tongue slips into my mouth.

My hear is racing as my body feels like its floating and then when the need for air becomes too much we break apart panting. I lick my lips and feel a blush across my cheeks. Wentz looks into my eyes with such emotion that I feel my head go dizzy.

"Pete." He says between pants.

" What?" I ask confused and he grins his smile is bright enough to make the sun look dim and I squint slightly and look into his eyes that swirl with happiness.

"My name is Pete." He laughs and I smile up at him.

"Nice to meet you." I joke and he lets out another bright laugh the sound echoing off the walls and I feel a smile spread across my own face.

He leans down and our teeth almost clank together as he kisses me again. This one is much shorter but it feels like a promise like a new beginning.

The end
