Chapter 1: What we Thought

L. T

Ain't that a bitch?"

    Tucker thought for a long time that he had never liked Church. He was always an asshole and even after dying, and finding out he wasn't human, he didn't change. At least a lot. He wasn't too much a prick with Carolina having him at bay. Still he never thought they were actually close. Just thought that they were stuck together and whenever they had the chance, it was every man for themselves. However, that wasn't it.

These past few months had proved him wrong. When Church and Carolina had disappeared, he realised that he actually saw Church as a friend and he actually tolerated his presence. He actually enjoyed their just hanging around and talking shit. He liked it when things were normal and they had each other. Everything was good.

They were friends.

The fact had surprised him. It also made his chest ache. Now he noticed this? After Church was gone. He wanted to be mad. But he couldn't find it in his heart to be. Which was a fucking first. He was always mad at Church whenever he did stupid shit or was a plain dick.

    But this was different. Church wasn't going to come back and save them from shit again. He was gone to never return.
He will never be back and they were all hurting at that truth. Some more than others. Church was dead. And Caboose was devastated. He seemed to not get it that Church won't ever be coming back.
The male was eerily quiet and held Freckles tighter to himself than usual.

Carolina preferred to be alone now.
She too was shocked and was somewhere right now. She felt somewhat at blame. She kept saying if they had moved any faster there was a chance that Church would still be here. Dr. Grey tried to tell her that was impossible with an AI making the calculations. That was the only way he could've saved them all. After all, he was the artificial intelligence, he had told Tucker there was something missing. He just didn't think it was that.

     His own life.

Would it be considered his life? Oh fuck it. It was his life. Church had given it up with the hope that that would be their way out. He was a Hero. He had faith in them. A bunch of idiots that only made it so far because of pure Luck. He had their backs and they had his. When push came to shove, they banded together for the greater good.

    Them.

A group of misfits. Odd bods.
They didn't fit in anywhere else. Only together. Up to know, Tucker didn't know why they even did it all. Was it to prove a point? To not be the losers and be noticed as something more than a band of idiots?

    Why? He wanted to hope that there was another way but, Church was the AI. Why had Church done that for them was kind of a mystery to Tucker.
Church had said it himself, he hated them the least. So why, if he hated, why give up his life for people you hate?

"Why did you do it, you fucktard?"

If it had been Carolina, he may have understood it but, he didn't. Carolina was Church's sister, the news had momentarily shocked Tucker when Church told him. The AI said to keep it a secret between them and he will. So if he had done it for her, he wouldn't be this. . .
sad?
