Breakaway {Markiplier X OC & Lisbug X OC} BOOK ONE

chapter forty | | luna

"Is she okay?" I asked Lisa, watching as Lynne walked away from us and towards the basement. It was rare to see Lynne, if ever, in a close off mood. That was my job.

Lisa gave me a look and shrugged. "I don't know about her anymore." She says with a sigh. "The whole Bella thing's got her shaken up." She says and I nod my head.

"I'll go check on her." I say and she nods her head. Turning, she goes to Help Caleb out with making dinner for the group.

My boots softly thud on the wooden floor as I walk towards the door that leads to the basement. The door's open and the lights are on down stairs.

Shaking my head, I walk down the stairs. I pull out my python, using it as the excuse for me going down to the basement when Lynne asks me why I'm down there.

The stairs creak under my weight as I walk down them. My eyes landed on Lynne, who stood by the supplies. A small box sat in her hands and it quickly came to be clear that it was the phone.

Though that's not what she was focused on. Shaking my head, I walked towards her and set my python down on the table. Lynne looked up to me as I moved to get the cleaning kit and a bottle of scotch off the shelf and set it down on the table as well.

"You look like you need one." I say and she doesn't move as I open the small box and take out the bullets that sat in the chamber of my python. They clink lightly on the table top.

She doesn't move from her spot as I pull up a seat and grab the scotch, opening the top and taking a sip before holding it out to Lynne, shaking the bottle a bit.

Lynne looks to me and sighs, taking the bottle and taking a small sip, jerking the bottle away after swallowing. I started to laugh from her reaction to the liquid.

"I don't know how the Hell you drink that stuff." She says and I smirk, taking the bottle from her and taking another drink before setting it on the table.

"Years Lynne. Years." I say and she gives me a look as I start to clean out my beloved python.

"You're literally like a year older than I am." She says and I nod my head. My eyes are now focused on my gun as I clean it out.

"Exactly." I say and she laughs a bit but it dies down and she's back to the saddened look. I let out a sigh, going to speak but stop as she picks up the bottle and takes a swig.

A smirk comes to my face but falls as I shake my head. Lynne looks to me as she lowers the bottle. "I know why you came down here." She says and I look to her, tilting my head, looking like I had no idea what she was talking about. "I'm fine Luna."

I set down my python and lock eyes with her. "Don't lie to me Graile." I say to her, taking the bottle out of her hands and taking a swig. "I know people, I know you and you're not 'fine'." I say and she sighs, shooting me a look.

I didn't bother to move when Lynne snatched the bottle from me. "You don't know me. You think you do Luna, but you don't know what it feels like." She says, taking another swig of the bottle. "She said she hates it here, that-that we ignore her. She ran away Luna, right to those people that beat up you and Mark." She says and I tense at the mention of them, looking to my wrapped hand.

I bit my bottom lip, pausing for a moment before going to speak. "No, no. I don't know you like the back of my hand. I know you though. I know what it feels like to be in her place. I know what it feels like to be in your place. I know you." I say, starting to reload my gun with new bullets, and she mutters under her breath, lifting the bottle before I pick up my python and shoot the bottle. The bullet shatters the bottle and gets lodged in the wall far behind Lynne.

"What the Hell Luna?! You could have hit me!" She yells and I roll my eyes at her.

"Oh come on, I'm a better shot then you give me credit for. Now pull your shit together for her. She really needs you Lynne and Echo's not gonna be there forever when we're not." I say, standing up and making my way to the stairs. "For the sake of all of us, get a grip." I say, turning and walking up the stairs.
