121//Brenda part 2

Part 2

I zone in and out of reality every second. From Brenda's screams to the mumbled voice opposite me.

I sit with Brenda and listen to hear little whimpers of pain. I just wished more than anything in the world that I could take her pain and make it mine.

"Just then..." She mumbles "why'd you stick your neck out for me?"

I shrug and reach out,taking her hand in mine and giving it a little squeeze of reassurance. Because it's what we do I thought. "Foolish naive hope." I lie "that if I'm ever that far up shit-creek,somebody might do the same for me. Guess I'm  even a bigger dumbass than me." We both laugh a little "what I mean is... You're my friend. I want to save you. To meet you was fate. To become your friend was only my personal choice."

But to fall in love with you was over my power.

I panic as those thoughts slip into my head. But they weren't scary,they were more overwhelming and wonderful. "Brenda,keep who you care about close. Even if they leave tonight,I'm not going. I'm not leaving you."

She smiles up at me "I'm going to keep this close." She croaks out a signals to the Walkie laying beside her pillow "you have yours,right?"

"You bet." I hold up mine with a reassuring smile. "My hearts with you,Brenda,no matter how it turns out. My heart is with all of them and I think that even if we got split and forget each other,we'll remember in our dreams."

I don't fear the fire,I simply become it.

"Y/N? Y/N? Can you hear me?"

I look up to see Teresa sitting a far distance at the opposite side of the table. She looked well put together in a white lab coat. She was the predator and I was the prey.

I shake my head and look at my hands chained together,red marks under the chains. I wince and look back up at her. "Just take me..." I whisper "leave the others alone."

"You know I can't do that!" She objects "everything we're doing here is working."

"People are a resource!" I snap,shooting her a glare "don't you get that?"

"I just wanted you to know." She doesn't answer my question.

"After all you've done to us... Can I ask something of you?"

"Of course Y/N." She gets up,edging a little closer to me. Slowly,though, as if I was a loaded gun.

"Let Minho go. And give me my Walkie back."

"I can't grant you wish one,I'm sorry for that. But here," she passes me the walkie and I clutch it tight to me. I switched it on and heard the static sound. It still worked!

"Thank you..." I smile up at her "thank you..."

"Brenda has the other half?" She leans against the wall "Y/N it's been months. She's probably far gone by now."

"No. She's alive." I hold down the button "Brenda? Brenda it's Y/N. Please... If you're out there just give me a sign. Please..." Nothing. I look up to Teresa "this isn't over. She's out there somewhere. Do whatever you want to me... Just... Please don't hurt my friends,our friends."
