Freakish [Fan-fiction]

Newcomers

I sat in the nurses office after we escaped from the heard of freaks. We lost her. I lost her. Skylar was a good friend to everyone. She didn't deserve to die. Diesel and Natalie were in the kitchen making a memorial for Skylar while Grover and Violet went back into the lounge. And Zoe was on the couch in the hallway. I got up from the bed and began to exit when I found a note next to Skylar's phone. 'Please play video.' The note read. I picked up Skylar's phone to see a video on display. I pressed play and sat on the chair.

"Hello. My name is Skylar Autumns. I'm seventeen years old and I have a fifteen-year-old brother named Daniel. My parents are getting divorced due to creative differences. I am trapped here with a group of my friends for weeks. One is expecting a baby, and another was shot. If anyone is watching this. I want you to save them. This is my dying message and I want my friends to know that I tried my hardest to protect them. 

Grover, thank you for helping us through this mess and keeping everyone calm. You are a good person, a good leader, and a good brother. Mary would have been proud to see her brother grow up and take charge of the situation even though it turned out like shit. I'm sorry about her. I miss her just as much as you. 

Violet, I'm sorry we didn't talk more when we had the chance. We have Ms. Latoya for advanced chemistry, and you were a cool student. Always knowing lots about chemicals. You were stronger than you know. And I'm sorry I never had the chance to thank you for making that ether gas for the freaks so we could get the gas masks. You're never afraid to speak your mind to others, especially Barrett which I thought was pretty funny. I wish you and Grover all the best. 

Zoe, I hope you find Leshawn out there if you ever escape. I am so proud of you for showing people you are not some dumb stereotype blondes who can't fight. You and Natalie are two of the closest friends I have ever made, and I am so lucky to have met you. Don't ever let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. I believe in you. 

Diesel, you are one of the strongest people in the group, you protected and saved everyone more times than you know. I hope you can keep doing that for Natalie and the baby's sake. You are a great person, even if you were an ass when we first met. 

Natalie, I'm so sorry for not protecting you as much as Diesel could. I want you to know that I did the best I could, and I hope you and Diesel the best of luck with the baby. You are not a mistake; you are perfect to me in my eyes. I wish you the best of luck with the baby and I want you to know that you were a sister to me. And I'm going to miss you so much. 

Barrett, when we were little, we would always hang out and talk about what we wanted to do with our lives. When your aunt died, I was so devastated with what happened and I couldn't do anything to help you. Now I can, I protected you the best I could and now I'm dying. I'm so sorry about everything. I'm glad to have met you and the others. I love you, Barrett. I love you all. So much."

The video ended and I fell to my knees. I couldn't hold it back any longer. I began to sob and scream and cry. I felt like a five-year-old having a tantrum. She was a good person who put other people's feelings first before her own. She deserved better and I couldn't even do that for her sake. I always pushed her away for Zoe and she still stuck by my side. She didn't deserve me at all. She should have been with someone like Noodle or Diesel or Grover. I stood up slowly and walked over to the door. I left the nurses office with Skylar's phone in my hands. I walked down the hallways to see Zoe and... Leshawn?!!? "Zoe! Leshawn!" I yelled running over to them. They looked at me with a worried expression on their face. "They had to follow me. I had no choice." Leshawn told me. I looked out the window to see a group of people standing outside with weapons and gas masks. One person in particular looked at me and waved slowly. I touched the door and stared at that person in disbelief. It couldn't be.

Could it

It has to be

"Daniel?"
