Safe House ➳ Sidemen

Planning

Sophie

Chris and Lucy made up which is nice so, now, we won't have as many fights as before anymore...I hope. Chris and Vikk are still a little bit annoyed/mad at Allie but, they're willing to look past that. Right now, we are trying to work out our plan to kill Mitch. "This is so complicated" Ethan said in frustration

"No shit Sherlock!" Allie groans, playing with a knife in her hands.

"We have been going at this for what, an hour now? And we've got nothing planned! How do you suggest we even kill the bastard!" Lucy yells from the other side of the room. I sigh.

"Anael said someone had to sacrifice themselves-" I start.

"-"And we've already clearly agreed that we are going to find some other way" Vikk finishes for me. Even though that wasn't the direction it was going.

"You know what. Why don't we just sacrifice someone else. It's not like we haven't lost someone before. One more isn't going to make a difference" Chris says, obviously still sore over the Harry incident.

"We can't afford to lose someone else. I say we find another way!" Lucy says, raising her voice a bit. And I thought they made up.

"There is absolutely no other fucking way!" Vikk steps in. I stomp on his foot signalling for him to shut up.

"There is always another way!" Simon interjects.

"Face it guys. One of us is going to have to die, there is no stopping it" JJ states, sounding as calm as possible. It wasn't a norm for his usually energetic personality, but then again, were any of us normal anymore?

"We can always get someone else! Why not a random on the street!" Lucy says.

"We are not killing an innocent person so one of us can survive" Tobi says. "I'll even do it if I have to! But we are not killing an innocent!"

"Oh will you guys shut it!" Allie suddenly bursts, stabbing the knife into the table. "We are starting to argue again and it's no good!"

"Well then what do you suggest we do angel girl! You're the one who got us in this mess!" Chris yells. Simon stands up to defend her but she pushes him back down on his chair.

"I'll do it! Alright? I'll fucking do it!" Allie yells, everyone looks up at her surprised. Lucy and Simon go to argue, but she just silences them. "This is madness! Okay? Weeks ago we were laughing and having food fights! Now we're sat around a crappy kitchen table discussing who we're going to let die! What are we even doing! I obviously got us stuck in this situation and I'll happily get us out of it!"

People search for words to say, me especially. I didn't expect Allie to do this. But I couldn't argue. She wanted to do this and it was our best bet. I look over at Simon who seems to be fighting with himself. Chris is across the table looking pleased. Stupid bastard.

"Allie no. We aren't going to lose someone else. We can find another way!" Lucy says. Allie dramatically rolls her eyes.

"And how do you suggest we do that? I'm sorry, but time is running out and this is the only chance we have!" Allie states, before walking out of the room before anyone else can argue. This, was absolute madness.

I looked over at Vikk who was looking at me with a conflicted expression. He was both happy, and sad. I scowl and get up. "Okay. Now are you all fucking happy? We have our sacrifice!"

No one dares to say anything, "That's what I thought"

People just get up and leave one by one. There goes planning time. Vikk, Lucy and Simon are the only ones who stay, and it's obvious that Vikk was just here cause I would shoot him if he left.

"So now what" Lucy asks, fiddling with a pencil.

"I don't know" Vikk says quietly.

Simon suddenly slams his hands on the table and gets up, muttering about something, he was obviously angry. He walks out of the room, making sure he kicks a chair to the side to show how angry he was. I just watch as he does it, no one really wanted to go after him, it's not like he could make everything worse.

Lucy gets up, "I'm going to talk to my boyfriend about his actions" she said the word boyfriend with anger and shame. Everyone just made up, and now it's all going down.

I turned to Vikk, "I don't know what we're going to do. Vikk. This isn't what I planned"

"Allie has already chosen this, and you're going to have to look past that" he says. I want to yell at him, and deny it, but I couldn't.

"Maybe I could do-" I start,

"Don't you dare even say that! Alright?" Vikk says, slamming his hand on the table. "I refuse to let you do it!"

I open my mouth to say something, but only helpless cries come out. I fall into Vikk's arms, breaking down to nothing. He holds me and rubs my back, telling me that it wasn't my fault. Which in the end, I had to believe. This wasn't my fault, I was responsible for none of it.

Short chapter but I realized Sophie couldn't update so I filled in for her. Both Sophie and Lucy are in school now so it honestly might just be me for the next few chapters. Oh god lets hope not.

Man, I'm so lonely I might as well be Josh when everyone else went to Napa. You know, that one video... I'll stop.
