I Can't Help Falling In Love With You

Chapter 3

The way to Suga's was long, he lived farther out in the "country", if you can really call it that.

Everyone stayed close together, everyone's eyes scanning our surroundings. It was quiet, almost normal seeming until a low grunt then Diachi's gun firing. Yachi screamed and turned away from the dead thing, bumping into Kageyama, hugging him. Luci was squeezing Michael's hand and Lance had pushed the younger two behind him slightly.

Suga spoke up, "We have to keep moving guys. I know this is a lot to take in but we're not safe out here, no matter how many bullets we have."

I take Kageyama and Yachi's hands in mine and we all start walking, single file almost, with Yachi and Luci nearest the middle.

When we finally reached Suga's, it was soon to be dark. Suga got to the door first and knocked while Daichi left to check the surrounding area.

"...Who is it??"

"Nobi-san, it's me. We're back." Suga says to the soft whisper through the door.

A few small clicks then the heavy door opens to reveal a tall girl, not quite as tall as Kageyama but tall. She sported a soft looking pale green sweater and ripped jeans. Her long black hair fell into her face a little as she pushed the door open more to let us in.

Suga hurried us inside, Daichi still out checking the area. Nobi sat us all down in the living room by the fire, giving everyone sweet smiles and glasses of water. Suga stood by the door, waiting anxiously.

"Where is he??" Suga demands to no one in particular. He goes to open the door but Nobi beats him to it.

"Suga-chan. Be patient. He'll be back. He can take care of him-" She's cut off by gunshots outside. Suga quickly started unlocking all the locks, Nobi runs off, grabbing a small handgun from a shelf and follows Suga through the door. Kageyama was up in seconds.

"Suga! Wait!" He rushed to the door, Lance right on his heels, they crack the door so all of us in the living room couldn't see outside.

"Daichi! No!!" We hear Suga scream, several gunshots and Lance visibly flinches. Someone else is yelling and sobbing, Nobi. More gunshots. A ear peircing scream. A gunshot. Kageyama says something to Lance and Lance nods. Kageyama runs out the door.

"Tobio! What are you doing come back!" I screech, rushing to the door. Lance holds me back, I get a peek out the door. Kageyama partly holding up Nobi, carrying her back to the house. She's covered in blood, tears are streaming down her face and she's making quiet choking sounds. Suga and Daichi are nowhere to be seen-no..no no no.

They're on the ground, bloody, distorted, showing flesh and bones. Dead.

A scream leaves my throat as Lance pulls me back away from the door.

Kageyama comes inside quickly almost dragging Nobi.

"My brother my brother Daichi is dead they killed him they killed him he's dead he-"

"Shh... Nobi-san it's going to be okay. Lets get you cleaned up. Okay?" Kageyama spoke softly to her.

I don't even notice the tears falling onto my own cheeks until Yachi is wiping them away and hugging me.

I sit in a daze. Yachi offers to help Nobi clean up so the other girl feels more comfortable, and although there are tears staining her cheeks, no one says anything. Kageyama is sitting next to me again. He's trying to comfort me.

In through one ear, out the other, as they say.

I curl up next to him, burying my face into his side, and I fall into a fitful sleep.

Nightmares

Night terrors

Bad dreams

What ever you want to call them, my night was plagued with them. Twisting, turning, yelling, screaming, not even all my own, others were dreaming also.

Dreaming? That sounds thoughtful and serene. It was not.
