Hope is Dead

Chapter eight

Luke crawled out of his tent and stood up looking over to Evan who was cooking something on the makeshift fireplace, he walked over and sat down beside him on a log seeing the sun was coming up ''Did you sleep?'' Evan asked looking at him, Luke nodded ''Look, if your worried about Jon and his sister I'm sure their fine.'' Luke nodded and looked at him ''Same goes to you, for Jon mostly.'' he said and looked around seeing the camper that veered off the road with them. Evan stirred the pot seeing Tyler was next to come out and sit down beside them, Evan sighed ''Go back in there and sleep.'' Tyler looked at him ''I did.'' Evan sat up ''No you didn't, you went in there just under an hour ago.'' Luke looked at the two then at Evan ''How long have you been out here?'' he asked concerned ''All night.'' Tyler stated and Evan looked at him ''Go sleep.'' Luke said and took the spoon from him and continued stirring.

''No, if I go to bed now I wont wake up till mid day or even worse nightfall.'' the two looked at him and he sighed getting up while groaning ''Fine.'' and went over to the tent Luke came out of crawling inside, the tents were given to them by a family of three who wee sleeping in their car to the side of them, Lui, David and Brian stayed in Brian's car and Marcel was in Evan's truck while the other's took the tent's ''Crazy huh?'' Tyler questioned, Luke looked over at him ''How all this happened?'' Luke nodded in agreement and stirred the pot peeking inside to see what was actually inside and saw it was soup.

Luke deemed the soup ready and looked around seeing the bowls from the camper on a small outdoor table, he got up and got two, he walked back and handed one to Tyler who gladly took it and Luke served it to him and himself. Tyler took a sip right from the bowl and smiled ''He's a good cook.'' Luke looked down at it then took a sip as well tasting the sweets and spices Evan used ''Cook's often?'' Tyler nodded ''Every time we visited, he'd made this big meal all on his own.'' Luke smiled having some stories about Jonathan and himself knowing how much Jon wanted to come out with him but was to scared.

Lui yawned and pushed off the seat seeing David under him and smiled, he pushed off completely sitting on David's leg's fitting himself between them and grabbed the water bottle in front of him seeing Brian was awake already ''When were you gonna tell us?'' he asked and turned around, Lui froze knowing exactly what he was talking about ''Um.'' he gulped taking the water and took the cap off ''Dinner.'' Brian looked at him a bit confused ''We were planning it in the store.'' Lui explained better and Brian looked down at David then back at Lui ''When did this start?'' Lui looked down at him smiling a little ''When we moved in together.'' Brian smiled softly seeing how much Lui's eye's lit up looking at David finally understanding it.

''It's cute.'' Lui blushed a bit and looked at Brian ''Uh, this is maybe a bit to personal and you don't need to answer it but, have you two fucked?'' Lui looked at him blushing more feeling like his face was on fire just because of the way Brian asked his question, he looked down smiling nodding a bit as a response and Brian smiled ''And here we all thought he was a virgin.'' Lui snorted trying to keep his laugh back, he gulped again having his hand on his chest as he looked at Brian and pushed the air out of his lungs ''No, he lost that card a long time ago.'' Brian and Lui then chuckled in amusement, this woke David up, he looked at Lui seeing him smiling and also saw Brian smiling, he moved his leg's slightly giving Lui a notice he was awake.

Marcel was staring at the roof of the truck thinking about what he saw, the blood, the sound of their teeth on flesh and bone's, all of it made him want to throw up, he kept it back and finally sat up not getting any sleep. He tried. He opened the door and got out of the truck walking over to where the other's were sitting beside Luke on the log. Luke handed him a bowl and he looked at the pot ''Evan's soup.'' Tyler informed and Marcel held his bowl out ''So, what do you think about it?'' Tyler asked Luke while Marcel took a sip ''It's amazing.'' Marcel smiled ''You should try his turkey.'' Tyler smiled nodding along in agreement.
