Hope is Dead

Chapter eleven

The two parked the car and Brian saw the gage shaking his head at Brock telling him the tank was empty, he then looked around seeing a gas station not far from them ''Me and Brock are just gonna go over there to get gas for the three cars.'' Brian noted as they all got out, the three walked over to the line of shops while Brian and Brock walked over to the gas station all of them staying in the area of the strip mall. Marcel was first to enter looking around and deemed it to be safe but saw that Luke and Tyler were already inside with him.

David, Lui and Evan went to the neighboring store and looked around seeing they were in a place with lot's of clothes, Craig walked towards the back seeing a sweater he liked and took it off the hanger as Tyler walked over ''Pink?'' Craig looked at him and nodded ''Yeah, I had one of these packed.'' he said remembering all the stuff they left behind in Washington. Tyler felt the material and nodded ''Soft.'' Craig nodded in agreement and pulled it over his white shirt hugging himself in the soft fabric, Tyler smiled seeing he was smiling.

Marcel was looking up at a pair of shoes then looked around for a small stepping stool but saw nothing so he grabbed one of the higher shelves and pulled himself up stepping on a slightly higher one, Luke noticed this and walked over seeing he lost his footing as he grabbed the shoe, Luke jolted forward catching him before he fell to far. He turned him around seeing he was holding one shoe and looked up seeing the other one, Luke reached up grabbing the matching one and gave it to him, Marcel looked down at them ''Thank you.'' Luke smiled a bit ''Next time can you ask?'' Marcel looked up at him ''I can do things.'' Luke lost his smile ''I didn't say you couldn't.'' Marcel walked over and sat down on a bench that was nailed to the ground. 

Brian held the door open for Brock as he walked inside, they looked around seeing it wasn't that bad, they were just confused on where all the people went, Brock walked over to the chip's while Brian went to the back where the freezers were. Brian glanced over at Brock then grabbed four water bottles walking over to him ''Did you call Lauran?'' Brian asked and Brock froze with his hand on a bag of Doritos ''Before or after?'' Brian looked at him a bit confused ''After.'' Brock shook his head taking the bag, Brian stepped forward looking at him ''Why not?'' Brock sighed ''We had a really big fight.'' Brian put the water down as he started walking away and grabbed his arm stopping him ''How big? What was it about?'' Brock sighed ''Do we have to talk about it?'' Brian nodded and Brock looked down ''My job, the only thing she has a problem with.'' Brian put the rest of his water down and thought of something to say.

''You love her still right?'' he asked then looked at him and Brock gave no reaction ''Don't you?'' Brock sighed and looked away ''I don't know anymore.'' Brian huffed out air ''You two have a kid together Brock you can't just say you don't like someone anymore?'' he stated not believing Brock ''I have my reasons Brian, sometimes thing's aren't meant to be.'' he said and went into the next isle ''You still wanna go up there and check on them right?'' Brock looked at him ''Of course my kid's up there.'' Brian picked the water's up again and looked at him ''So we'll tell the guy's to drive to Ohio.'' Brock nodded as he grabbed three more chip's and they left to put everything in the cars.

Lui went into the back change rooms with two pairs of pant's and two pairs of shorts, he pushed the first door open and shut it right away feeling sick to his stomach, there was a body inside, completely dead, David turned the corner seeing Lui leaning on the stall door ''What's wrong?'' he asked walking over to him and Lui gestured to the door he had previously shut, David was about to open it but Lui stopped him by putting a hand on his chest ''Trust me you do not want to go in there.'' David looked at the door and decided to trust Lui.

Lui opened the next one peeking inside cautiously and saw nothing was wrong with this one so he entered, David looked around before stopping the door and saw Evan wasn't coming back here, he went into the same one as Lui and pinned him to the wall kissing him, Lui's eye's widened with shock not expecting David to do this, David's hand's moved down his arm's to his sides, Lui grabbed his arms as David pulled away ''We can't do this here.'' he warned but David just attacked Lui's neck ''David stop.'' he whispered trying to listen for Evan, Lui grabbed pushed his arm on the wall next to him as David's hand's slipped under his shirt and he started sucking on his neck ''Stop.'' Lui warned again pushing on David's shoulders.

David finally pulled away and looked at Lui with lust in his eyes ''Later, when we get back to the camp I'm asking Brian if we can use his car for a bit.'' Lui lightly hit his shoulder ''No, if it come's to that we're going in the tent, I don't want him knowing we do that.'' David looked at him with eye brow's raised ''Says the person who told him we've done it before.'' Lui grossed his arm's over his chest ''No.'' David smiled before picking his thing's up and exiting Lui's room going into the next one.
