Remember Me

〃29〃

They walk in silence. Pewds is too scared to talk and Cry has nothing to say.

Pewdie can feel irritation rolling off the taller man in waves, so he doesn't walk right next to him or right behind him. He hangs back a bit, walking slower than he should be. Thinking.

He feels like a scolded child.

"He's been asleep for six days Felix! Fucking think rationally about this! We need to be on the move, not sitting ducks! We don't need him!"

Felix immediately stops walking and hunches over in pain, hands shooting up to hold his head. Can he just get a break please?

"And if I was him?"

He grips his hair and notices his forehead feels hot. He wouldn't be surprised if he had a fever, to be honest.

Fuck. His head is throbbing.

"He'll kill you."

Felix starts hysterically laughing, and that's when the tears start coming. Laughing makes his head hurt even more, but it's so fucking funny.

Cry? Kill me?

Cry stops walking himself when Felix starts laughing behind him. He turns around and see's Felix drop to his knees, holding his head as he laughs.

"Not again.." Cry mumbles, trailing off. He sighs and takes out his pocket knife before walking over to the swede. "I have my pocket knife, don't try anything," Cry warns and grabs Pewds' arm, pulling him up a bit.

That's when he notices Felix crying.

He stops what he's doing, knife held at his side and Felix standing on his knees.

"Six... days..." Felix laughs, eyes fluttering.

Then his eyes are closing and his head is lolling back, body going limp.

Cry makes quick work to grab him before he can slip out of Cry's loose grasp and crack his head open on the ground. He looks around for something, maybe water, maybe a cart, but in the end he decides to just pick Felix up and carry him back to the shop.

His heart is racing at the words six days. What will happen in six days?

When Felix wakes up, he's groggy and his head is pounding, but there's a cold wet rag on his forehead and that helps.

Somewhat.

"What did you mean, six days?" Cry asks, noticing that Pewds is awake and taking advantage of it.

"Huh?" Felix groans, sitting up. He pops his back and twists his neck. He aches all over and feels so tired.

"Six days. You laughed about six days and then fainted."

"Oh.... Uhm. I was remembering something. Its... That girl. Marzia. She was yelling at me, telling me that we just needed to go and forget you, you had been out for six days and weren't waking up... I had said "And if it were me?" She didn't say anything for a moment, but then she said that you'd kill me."

Cry's silent for a moment, so Felix fills in the silence by rambling on.

"I found that hilarious because in the memory, you were just knocked out on the ground with bandages around you, how could you hurt me? And then I thought about real life, and if anything, I'm scared that I'd kill you first."
