Blackjack || An Overwatch Fanfiction

||The Weekend||

It was Saturday morning, and Aries was up early. Her parents had arranged for all of her friends to come over, and spend the weekend with her. It would, of course,be a while before she could contact them again... This wasn't something aries wanted, but she knew she had to do this.

Around 8 AM was when Aries came down. Her friends were already there. Elizabeth, Jayden, Leon, and NJ. Those were her close friends, and the only ones that Aries wanted to see. They all chatted and talked over breakfast, where Aries was seemingly in a better mood. Thru the first day, the British girl was extremely worried, full of an overwhelming anxiety. One that completely shattered her. The four friends were close, and had met only a few years ago.

Her friends were from different places. Leon was from Russia, NJ was from California, and Elizabeth and Jayden were from Florida. They had met thru social media. Since they had all met, they had all stayed good friends. They all personally met about a year ago, and have been there for one another ever since. (A/N: Do NOT question my logic... It is 12 AM where I live.)

As the first day passed, Aries grew at ease. Her parents were extremely joyous, and helped make the day enjoyable. The teenagers played video games, ate many snacks, and enjoyed themselves. Saturday was a blast for all five of them. When the day came to an end, on the other hand, Aries was a lot less at ease. She realized that her nerves grew more on edge as the minutes passed. That night, none of the teens went to sleep. Until, of course, they all crashed at 5 AM on Sunday morning.

Sunday was a lot different than Saturday. As Sunday was only a single day from when she had to leave, Aries stressed herself throughout the day. Every attempt at calming the freckled girl was truly to no avail. Even as her friends knew this, they all still tried. They were just attempts to keep her calm before she was gone the next morning. 

The morning started with groans, as they had all over eaten. Aries' mother and father had prepared breakfast, and the teenagers hardly ate. All across the morning was strewn about giggles and chuckles at the tired kids. Of course, all by Aries' parents. This was no problem, rather, as they all quickly recovered from their food babies.

Later in the day was a lot better for the kids. They went out, made jokes, did some stupid stuff. Now, Aries, Jayden, and Elizabeth were known for doing some stupid shit wherever they went. Most of it included graffiti tagging, or causing a few mishaps around King's Row. Though, a reoccurring thought entered Aries' mind all thru the afternoon of activities. 'I will be gone, and this won't matter anymore... Me, and probably so many other people around here...' All that Aries could imagine from this, was her death. On the battlefield, suddenly struck with a pang of empty pain. Blood will stream and she will die.

"Aries!"

This propped the girl from her thoughts. Leon had snapped her from her embezzling thoughts. "S.. Sorry, I was thinking. What is it?" A moment of weakening silence drew across the air. "We just wanted to make sure you were okay." Jayden commented. NJ nodded, and Elizabeth hesitantly nodded. "Yes, of course. What a bunch of dorks." Aries had a smile drawn across her lips, and she playfully pushed Leon. A slight blush tinted the cheeks of the Russian boy, and so the group continued.

Hours draped the day, and soon, closed as the day drew to an end. Aries was silent, and even ate a lot during dinner. Her parents had extremely upset looks drowning their faces. Aries' friend group left, one by one. NJ, then Elizabeth, then Jayden, and finally, Leon. Leon took a lot longer to leave, but he had to catch a flight before the night's end. He left, and Aries.. Stopped. Everything began shutting down, and the cogs in her brain stopped working. That night, she wearily drew up the stairs.

In bed,Aries silently cried. Tears stained her milk chocolate face, and she huddled close. The girl was absolutely terrified. It was almost impossible for her to believe. But... When the government called, you couldn't disobey. Aries' life would change tomorrow, and it was a terrifying thought. Her last goodbyes to her parents would be the worst ones. Her parents didn't want it to end like this.

And all of a sudden, her eyes closed. Until she woke up the next morning.
