I looked down at the pocket knife that was in my hand, exchanging a look to Bella as her tired eyes caught straight in my vision.

"Are you tired?" I asked, twirling the object with my fingers. She nodded her head, leaning herself on my shoulder as I rested my head back on the wall. Her blonde hair traveled on my shoulder as she yawned and shut her eyes.

The world has gone to shit.

That's the easiest way to put it. The world has gone to shit and there's nothing we can do to stop it, but lucky enough for myself, Echo, Luna, Caleb, and Jinxx, we managed to find a place in which we can reside for the time being.

The only issue though is that everything is different now. It's not how it used to be. Hell, it's not even remotely how it used to be.

The world has gone through thick and thin to try and save itself, and unfortunately, less people are alive because of it.

Sometimes, I like to imagine that Bella is not in this hellhole of a world. That none of this happened and that we are actually dreaming or we had somehow slipped into a coma.

The funny thing about these kind of things, though, is the amount of stuff you take for granted. You take for granted the people you love who are not able to survive in this world - the experience of watching movies or going to the mall.

Because you never think the last time is going to be the last time. Every kiss, every goodnight, every "I'll see you tomorrow" is just another thought that it will happen again. But sometimes it can slip away so easily. It can go away as quick as it gained.

You miss everything when you know it's the last time. You long for the feeling of her hair between your fingers or the kiss of your dog as he exchanges his love for you.

You yearn for the feeling of relaxing during the night or not having to worry about staying alive.

The last time is never the last time, you think. You promise. You swear. You lie. But one day there will be a last time.

And take it from me. Take it from Bella. Take it from Luna, Echo, Jinxx, and Caleb. You will not be expecting it.
