Insomnia

Chapter 21: Truth

(AN: I dedicated this to you, my friend, because even if I know that you don't deserve this dedication.  You need it, to inspire yourself to write more, and hopefully someday, you'll be able to embrace the mistakes you've made and carry on.  And not 'delete' them, like literally, to hide your failures, because then again, it is gay.)

We were packing our things.  And once again, I find myself leaving home.

Adrian didn't agree with my decision at first, he kept reasoning about the government boat about being some ploy, but since he was voted out by mainly me and Kit Kat, he had nothing else to do but tag along.  And technically, he didn't like it all.  Seriously, what is happening to Adrian? I mean, sure he's got his anger issues before and then, but...this time it was totally different, it was him this time, my shy brother who's taunted me to almost get us into a fight, an almost regretful one even. 

Quite hard to believe right?

Adrian frowned as he packed his clothes.  Awhile ago, I caught him talking to himself and he got all the more angered when he caught me evesdropping on him.  And well, unfortunately for me, I didn't catch whatever he was saying because he was murmuring beneath his breath, but whatever they were, I don't think it was nice at all, since if my hearing was correct...two voices talked at one time.  One was obviously my brother's voice and the other one was...husky, evil even, if you'd like to call it that way.  

But then again, let's just think that it was my brother who had phlegm stuck on his throat, thus the huskiness, right? Yeah, that's right, the phlegm is the reason of it all.  Besides, I kinda caught him clearing his throat.

So, moving on.  It looks like Adrian wasn't the only one displaying the foul mood.  Even Kit Kat was, she was giving me the cold shoulder and all I could is just wonder why.  Geez, what were their problems? What have I done to upset them both so badly anyway?

I just shook my head in disbelief and wonder, hands in my pockets as I tried to gather my thoughts.  I blinked and stared straight at the mirror in front of me.  I was in my room's bathroom, and technically, it felt nice to be standing here again. 

I smiled to myself, this was the place where I tried to rehearse my lines when I had promised to ask her on a date, the place where I cried when she rejected me the first time...and the place where I jumped in joy when I realized that Kit Kat finally agreed that I become her first official boyfriend.

But right now, standing in front of this mirror, with a freaking zombie apocalypse growing rampant, and my new family displaying these cold feelings towards me, made me feel that everything was completely hopeless.

I exhaled, my eyes casting an eerie look to the bathroom's dimness.  Those gold specs looked kinda disturbing, awhile ago, they weren't that obvious, but now...well, my blue eyes started to look like it was all glittery green.  Yech! I thought to myself.  Talk about being gay.  

I pursed my lips...realizing that Adrian's eyes were also turning a little too red by the moment.

I let my head hang.  "What in the hell was in that cure?" I asked slowly.  "Is it the reason why they killed dad? Is it because he made that cure to this zombie infection?"

Thunder boomed, causing the rain to pour harder.  I hissed at it, annoyed and irritated that it disturbed my train of thought.  Truthfully, I never liked that sound, it frightened me even as a child.  I mean, yes it sounded powerful...but also, somehow very heartless.  It constantly reminds me of a giant army marching towards our home.  I scrunched up my nose, suddenly uncomfortable to be alone in this diml  lit bathroom.  Obviously, thunder and lightning wasn't much of something I appreciated when the rain would come.
