DEADTOWN

Chapter 16

" But .. But I don't want to lose you." Adam says as he turns to face his lover.

"And I don't want to lose you. But if what you said is for real and we are in comas, if we wake up you would have no knowledge of me. You would continue your life in Minnesota and me in Texas." Tim says. "But, you also have to consider that there would be no way that Rob and Kelsey could have survived the plane crash in the ocean and be in a coma."

"Actually, I think I heard about that crash on the news. There were no survivors." Adam says. "And you know Chance couldn't have survived inside the burning car." 

"Or Avi getting ran over by a semi truck, Kevin falling seven stories." Tim says. "So, I'm pretty sure we are all dead."

"Good. Well, no, I mean, I'm not happy we're dead." Adam chuckles lightly, shaking his head. "But I'm glad we have each other."

"Me too." Tim smiles as he pulls Adam into a hug.

"But I sure miss playing video games." Adam pouts.

"I miss drinking beer." Tim chuckles.

"How long before sunrise?" Adam asks, after a couple minutes of silence listening to the growls and howling outside.

"Probably a couple of hours at lease." Tim says, laying his head on top of his lovers.

"How often do you hear someone scream at night being taken by these things?" Adam asks as he mindlessly draws on Tim's leg.

"More often than you think." Tim answers softly. "But there's nothing I can do to help them. Nate was just lucky to make it inside a building." 

"I know it's weird to say but I'm glad I was killed during the day." Adam chuckles.

"Me too." Tim smiles and kisses the blond on the forehead. "I was killed at night. But like Nate, I was lucky enough to be close to the hotel when I arrived that I made it inside."

"What were your thoughts when you arrived here?" Adam asks looking up at his brown-eyed lover.

"I was freaked out to say the least. I had no idea that I was dead. I ran through the hotel yelling for help. But of course, I found no one which caused me to freak out more." Tim says as he stares at the floor in thoughts of his arrival. "It took me two days to get brave enough to go outside. By that time, I had noticed that those creatures disappeared during the day. I walked around town, looking in each building, searching for people. I had no idea where I was or how I got here. Needless to say, I was pretty scared."

"Sounds like something from a horror movie." Adam comments.

"It was like a horror movie and I was the only actor." Tim replies with a nod. "Then on the third day, out of nowhere, Jenika shows up. I found her walking up the street like she was in shock or something. She was the one who told me that her husband had killed me. When I found out that I was actually dead, I freaked out all over again."

"I know the feeling." Adam nods. "It's pretty upsetting to find out you're dead."

"She realized that she had died and she went a little berserk too." Tim chuckles. "But once we accepted it and calmed down, we started trying to figure this place out and we're still trying to figure it out to this day."

"Maybe it's not meant to be figured out." Adam says with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I'm just wondering if this (motioning his hands around) is where we'll spend eternity? Will more people be saved? You know, what's gonna happen?" Tim says with a sigh.

"We may never know. But, until then, we'll keep on saving the ones we can and keep the ones that's here safe." Adam says. "And you can't feel bad about the ones that you can't save. You're doing the best you can. You can't put yourself in danger of being taken by those demons. We need you here."

"It's just, when you hear a scream at night, it tears your heart out." Tim says, sadly.

"You not what we need? We need something to cheer us up." Adam smiles as he turns toward his lover.

"But we just got through f*cking." Tim says with a slight chuckle.

"No! Not that. (slapping Tim on the chest) Even though it was amazing." Adam laughs. "All we do is sit around in the saloon like we're waiting for something to happen. We need to enjoy ourselves."

"I do. I enjoy f*cking." Tim smirks.

"No." Adam laughs as he shakes Tim by his shoulders causing him to laugh. "Will you listen to me?"

"Okay, Okay." Tim laughs. "Just what do you suggest, Mr. Entertainment Director?"

"A party." Adam says with a grin.

"A party?" Tim asks with a raised brow.

"Yeah, like music and dancing." Adam nods.

"But there's no electricity for music. Besides, I left all my Johnny Cash cds at home." Tim smirks.

"Timothy! Will you take me seriously." Adam giggles, shaking his lover once again.

"Okay, I'm listening." Tim says, leaning back on his hands.

"We have music. You. You sang in a band when you were alive. And I'm sure some of the others can sing as well. And I noticed an old piano in the saloon, does it still work?" Adam asks.

"Yeah, it still works. I play it every now and then." Tim nods. "Chris and Austin knows how to play piano too. Avi and Chance plays guitar."

"I can play some on the piano. I've been told that I can sing too, just not very comfortable singing." Adam says.

"I've never heard Olena, Kelsey or Nate sing but everyone else I have. At one time or the other. They all have beautiful voices." Tim says.

"Well, there ya go. A party. We can just relax, have fun, sing, dance." Adam smiles. "Forget for awhile that we're dead and stuck in this nowhere land." 

"Maybe that's not a bad idea. Sounds fun." Tim smiles. "I definitely need to relax more. Maybe that's why I love sex so much, it helps me relax and feel alive."

"Well, I definitely don't want a party to replace sex in a way of your relaxation." Adam says.

"Oh, don't worry, Angel Face." Tim smiles as he softly kisses his lover. "It will never replace my need for you."
