Back at Home

Chapter 12

I am gonna change the usernames like every time because I forgot them.

TW- Bad thoughts, like depression thoughts.
Alex's POV

Most of my classmates were getting hungry, and angry. The wind's pace slowed down. The rainfall had lightened. Very fast considering the last hurricane that had happened. I smile at James.

I lay down on the floor and look around.

'Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.' I think. 'We can finally get out of here, hopefully' I look over to my friends. They're all happy and cheerful, as usual. I grin slightly.

"Hey, Alex?" James asks, I look over to him. "What are you going to do once the hurricane ends, there isn't anywhere to go."

"I-I don't know." I stutter. "We would have to try and get our suitcases back from the hotel, through all the rubble. By the time we finish we'd probably have to go back to the airport. Since the hurricane and stuff."

James nods understandably. I get off of the ground and walk over to Washington. I tap him on the shoulder and he looks up at me.

"Mr. Washington, since the hurricane has almost passed, what are we going to do?" I ask him.

"Well, son I-"

"Don't call me son." I cut him off.

"Son I'd l-"

"Don't call me son." I say a little louder.

"I'm sorry about that son-"

"Call me son one more time." I mumble.

"Can you speak up? I can't hear you." He replies.

"Call me son one more time." I say again.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME." I yell, he jumps back in surprise. I back up slowly as I feel my eyes water. I quickly look at the trapdoor. I climb up the ladder as quickly as possible.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Angelica yells.

"Anywhere." I say and climb out of the bunker. I close the trapdoor behind me. It's still raining and the sky is still dark. I just run. Run to anywhere.

I find an old building after at least ten minutes. I lean on the side of it and sit down, I curl up into a ball. I feel the tears slide down my face.

'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' I think. 'God, Alexander do you have to be such an idiot! Can't you just be normal for once? You have to ruin everything, you just can't be normal can you? That's why dad left isn't it? You just can't be a normal human being you have to be a freak! It's all YOUR fault. You stu-'

My thoughts get cut off by someone yelling my name. Their voice gets louder. My breath hitches. Someone turns the corner and we make eye contact. I quickly look back down.

"Alex, what were you thinking?" They yell, I look up at them.

"John?" I say quickly. He hugs me tightly.

"I was worried about you." He whispers. He pulls away.

I wipe away the tears. I smile a little to him. He pulls me into a kiss. It's cut short by a rumbling sound. We both get off of each other (sadly).

"We should probably get back," John says. I nod as we start walking back to the bunker. I look up at the sky. The yellow sky.

"Hey, John?" I ask, he looks over to me and slows down his walking speed.
