Until We Die (COMPLETED)

Cry's pov
"He's with Red, don't worry," Scott reasured Felix.

I wasn't sure how to react to this situation. Felix had been out for nearly two hours and the first thing he asks is where that guy is. Not, what happened? Or what are you talking about? He didn't even apologise for running away. No, he asks where Ken is.

"Can I see him. I need to thank him for saving me. I couldn't since I was recovering from almost drowning and all," Felix said before he began coughing.

"I think you should rest. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Scott said as he tried to put a hand on Felix's shoulder but he pulled away.

"No! I'm sick of resting. I'm seeing Ken," Felix said sternly. Scott just nodded silently and began to help him up.

"Cry can you go make sure they're ready for when we get there please," Scott asked when I moved to help. I bit my tongue to prevent myself from saying something bad and left the room.

I grabbed my coat and hurried towards Red and Russ' house. Their house isn't too far away from mine so it wasn't a very long walk. I knocked on the door and shoved my hands into my pockets.

"Cry. What are you doing here?" Red asked when she answered.

"Felix wants to see his friend so Scott sent me over to make sure everything was alright before they got here," I said frustrated.

"Why would Scott do that? That's an unnecessary task," Red pointed out.

"You think I didn't have the same thought?" I sighed. "He probably just wanted to ask Felix some questions about what happened."

"True. You can come in, everything is fine. Russ and Ken are in the living room staying warm," Red said as I stepped inside. I nodded and made my way to the given room.

"He ended up walking around in Marzia's bra and underware, wearing high heels and the worst makeup ever," Ken's voice came, followed by laughter.

"He sounds so gay. How could he be straight?" Russ laughed. Are they talking about Felix?

"That's the thing though..." Ken's sentence cut off as I entered the room. The two men looked at me and I could tell Ken was getting uncomfortable with my mask.

"I'm guessing Felix is awake then," Russ said. I nodded and leant against the wall furthest from the fire. It was furthest from people.

"Him and Scott are on their way now probably, but I think Scott wanted to talk to Felix about something," I said just as there was voices approaching.

Red walked into the room, followed by Felix being supported by Scott. Felix gave me a quick glance but otherwise avoided making eye contact with me. What did Scott say to him? This morning we were fine and five minutes alone with Scott and Felix can't even look at me anymore.

The situation hurt me more then I expected it to. It felt like I was being stabbed right through the heart. I felt like I was being crushed by a mountain that seemed to get heavier by the minute. I hated it. I couldn't be in this room any longer. I felt like I was going to break down.

I noticed everyone else had settled down and were quietly talking about things together. If I just leave quietly they won't notice. I glanced back as I left and saw Felix looking at me sadly but I didn't stop. The sight shattered me and I didn't know how to fix it.

I was so confused right now. Felix was either ignoring my presence or seemed sad when I left. Why is this happening? Why does the world have to be so cruel. Maybe if this all didn't happen then I wouldn't have met Felix and I wouldn't have to deal with this pain.

I wouldn't have met anyone here. I would still be in that hospital. I would still be wrapped in bandages desperately clinging to life. I would have gone home to my family and been perfectly fine. I wouldn't have had to stumble out of the hospital still wrapped in stained cloth with the people I'd watched die trying to eat me alive.

"Cry," I barely heard my name being called but felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn't turn around because I knew if I did then my heart would ache even more.

"Cry I'm sorry. I'm just... afraid. I need some time to get my head straight," Felix said, his hand slipping from my shoulder to my fore arm. I took a deep breath and turned around.

"It's okay Felix. I don't know what Scott said to you but it obviously shook up some things between us. But I hate that it did," I said softly.

"Yeah...," he said, sounding deep in thought.

"Hey, I was just gonna do a quick walk of the wall to make sure there aren't any breaches or dead walking around. Want to come?" I offered. Ok, so I wasn't planning on doing a patrol before but I needed to talk to Felix without the risk of someone overhearing us.

"Ah... sure. I'll just tell the others I'll be doing that or they might worry," Felix said. He sounded a little on edge but also desperste to talk to me. Did this whole thing throw him off as well?

Felix was quick to come back and we began our small walk around the wall. We came across a few dead but nothing much really. We made small talk every now and then but that was about it. I was going to ask about what Scott had told him when Felix suddenly shoveled me to the side.

Gunfire rang out and I quickly pulled out my pistol. Two guys in black stood a few feet infront of us. I shot the first guy through the head. The second fired twice, missing me both times, before I shot him through the chest. No more threats.

"C-Cry?"

I did it again 😂
