Happy Hurts (Slow Updates)

Chapter 5 - What Now?

"Sometimes good things get born out of bad things!"

The four strangers looked around each other. The young blonde women stood protective in front of the younger brown haired girl. The man of the round stood in front of them, while the younger man of the two was confused as to why they were acting so strange. The older man seemed to have caught on what might be going on.

"Why don't we just all calm down? We go into the apartment see if we find anything, a explanation tell us our names, get to know each other." The older man with the light brown hair said while walking forwards and putting a hand on the younger mans shoulder. The attention of the two women snapped to the older laid back man.

"That is actually a good Idea." The young blonde women said nodding. The eldest men ushered the three younger people in the Apartment. Once inside they took in the fully furnished apartment. They all looked around and marvelled in the furniture that sure looked expensive.

The young brown haired girl opened doors and found four bedrooms, a master bathroom and two smaller bathrooms. She looked where the other were and saw them in the open space that was the Kitchen and living room. They were looking at everything. Seeing if there might be something.

After many minutes of looking around the oldest one of the Group held up a piece of paper. Everyone gathered around him. They looked at what was written on it.

'Hello, thanks for following the invitation, I know they were kind of strange, but it needed to be done this way. Otherwise you wouldn't have come here now would you? You all seem to have nothing in common but, I know you have somethings in common. I watched you, don't worry not in the creepy kind of way. More in a I know a few people you knew. So I know about things that happened, just know that you should figure this out yourself and do something!

Stranger'

They all raised their eyebrows at what they just read. They looked up and between themselves. Then they all took out their letters. They put the piece of paper on the coffee table and sat down on the couch, they looked at everything they had.

"Well, this is actually really strange!" The young bruenette talked up first. Everyone looked up at her voice.

"Yeah, but what about your names?" The younger of the two man asked into the round.

"My name is Norah 'Bee' Foster, I am called Bee because I apperantly work so much." Norah told the round.

"Uh, well my name is Charlene, but everyone calls me Charley. My last name is James, if it concerns you!" She said, starting to fidget with her hands and let out a nervous laugh.

"Well, I am Kyle 'Ky' Rogers. I was a pretty great novelist, but I didn't came any further with my work these past few years." That is when one person recognized him.

"You are the author of When the dawn breaks and Hollywood disaster!" Charley said the man smiled lightly seeing light in the girls eyes. "Man did I love these books I know every line because I read them that often!" She exclaimed which caused the people around her to smile. She was freaking out over an author that wasn't really what you would call famous anymore.

"Well, I am the one young actor that 'Fades' away from Hollywood. I am John or 'Johnny' Meyers." The younger of the two men said. This caused Bee to look up. Recognition displaying in her eyes.

"That is why I know you. I think I saw a movie with you, not sure which one my...a friend wanted to go in it." Her eyes averted everyone else's eyes as she nearly slipped that she had a boyfriend. She doesn't really want to talk about him or with him for that matter.

"Uh, ok, thank you? I guess..." Johnny didn't knew how to reacto to what the young women said. He never really wanted to talk to people like that.

"Aren't you an asshole? That is what you see all the time in those Articles, but sitting here and seeing you so normal and everything, it is kind of crazy. So don't judge a book by it's cover." Charley talked up, she was afraid but she needed to get it of her chest.

"Yeah, got fired because of that from the last movie I was doing. Just so you know. That is why I am here." Johnny said and Charley looked up.

"No!" Charley said, this caused everyone to look up. They looked pretty confused as to why she would say no. She was quick to explain this.

"You aren't here because you got fired. I believe we all were watched for a long time. I also never believed what the Media said was true because it probably wasn't. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable." She explained and they all seemed to understand her point. She fell back into the seat with a sigh.

"So what are we doing now?" Ky asked into the round. They all looked at each other.

"Well, I am going to stay here because I actually don't have anywhere to sleep really." Charley said. All of the people in the room looked at her but Charley only shrugged she was used to being alone in the world.

"Why would you need to sleep here?" Johnny asked her, she was looking up, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her tongue and tried to stop them.

"I don't have anywhere else to crash and not really any friends." She said with a shrug of her shoulder.

"What is about your family?" Ky asked her, she looked at her hands which were folded in her lap. She wanted to push her shoulders upward to just shrug, but then she decided to answer the question properly.

"Mostl... Dead!" She simply stated, she didn't want to answer with a proper sentence. They all seemed to be in a kind of shock, so they didn't ask further. She excused herself and choose a bedroom, she then bid the other people a good night. They looked around each other.

"So, Uh," Johnny started, while scratching the back of his neck. "What do we do with all of this?" He asked waving his hands around the room in an attempt to make his question clear.

"I say we declare this to our safe heaven and we check up on Charley everyday. She needs role models, or people who look after her!" Bee said from her place of the couch to the men. They nodded and thought about what the women just said. They were so in thought that they didn't notice that Charley heard what Bee said. She closed the door and went under the sheets without bothering to change. A tear escaped from her eye.

"Nona, maybe, maybe I have found my place to be..." She whispered barely holding on to wakeness.

While the others came to the conclusion that Bee was right. They nodded to her and she smiled lightly. They were still confused but at least they know they are helping someone, even if they don't know why they would be brought together in the first place. They all felt like they had somewhere to turn to.

"Maybe this is a new beginning for all of us! Sometimes bad things get born out of good things." Johnny stated and walked to the TV turning it on. They watched in silence everyone thinking about something they always thought of.  It was rather silent and no one really watched the TV it was just background noises.

Bee, thought about her boyfriend she knew she should break up, but she was afraid of doing so. She will never be happy with him on her side. How do you break up with someone you don't know how to break up with them?

Ky was thinking about how his author carrier went down hill after a certain persons death. He never knew why he had such a writers block. He tried and tried but always sat in front of a blank page. What was his problem? He always asked himself.

Johnny thought about how his actions brought him bad publicity and how he was just so overwhelmed with all the fame. He was anxious that he wouldn't get the job done right, he has such pressure on him, he can't change how he reacted. At least that is what he thought.

They sat in silent and endured their thoughts. It all were among the lines of they felt worthless to I hate my life. It was nothing new for all the persons in the room. That were daily thoughts, you could never predict what they would be doing. One thing was for sure, they all would question if they should stand up in the morning or not. It was a daily struggle. They all felt kind of empty, but who knows what they feel like.
