Hope is Dead

Chapter twenty five

Everyone was quiet while they waited for the two to wake up again, Evan was feeling a lot better being in the water while Craig laid on his back floating in the water while Tyler just had his feet dipped in the water while sitting on a nearby rock ''This is pretty.'' Brock said enjoying the bottled water from this lake, Brian nodded wanting to say something but knew it would be raising flags, he looked at Brock who was just looking out at the beautiful scenery, Evan noticed this and smiled looking out at the water, David moved Lui's hair from his face with water and leaned back not caring at the moment on who saw them like this.

Lui's eyes slowly opened and a smile came to his face seeing David above him, he raised his hand to touch David's face but David stopped him putting his hand down again, Luke looked over at Marcel seeing nothing changed, he moved closer and checked his pulse feeling his heart beat, he didn't know what it was but feeling his heart beating was calming, he pulled his hand away and leaned back. While Evan was kind of observing his friends he noticed the way everyone looked at each other.

Tyler had a glow in his eye's looking at Craig float in the water wearing nothing but his briefs, David and Lui looked at each other with what he could only assume was love, Brian looked at Brock with a wanting tone but he wasn't sure on the way Luke looked at Marcel, it was almost sorrowful or sadness. Marcel finally opened his eye's and sat up breathing in and looked down seeing his bottom half was in water, he looked around seeing everyone and backed out of the water ''Did I die?'' they chuckled ''Nope.'' Brock said smiling as Marcel looked around, he then looked at everyone ''Who found it?" he asked while Craig came back and they pointed to Brian.

''You and Lui fainted so he went up a head looking for some kind of water or shelter.'' Marcel herd Luke say then smiled at Brian before pulling his wet let's close to him and looked around. Tyler then stood up on the rock ''Hate to say it but I think we should get moving.'' there was a collective sigh from everyone before they all got up and got dressed. They went back up to the tracks and kept walking wishing their break was longer. They walked for two miles before reaching a small station on the side of the tracks, they walked over to it and walked up the small step's on the side, Luke opened the door and peeked inside with his shotgun before deeming it safe enough and let the other's inside.

There was a small desk in the corner with glass on top with a small cubby where you would get your ticket, they were confused of why something like this would be out here in the middle of no where but no one questioned it knowing no one would know. Lui and David set up a spot in the corner away from Tyler and Craig, Craig and Lui could still feel the tension between them, they hated it and didn't like that they needed to sit in opposite corners of each other. But to make sure the two didn't fight they needed to, Brian and Brock sat beside Lui and David while Marcel took a seat next to Tyler, Luke and Evan sat in front of the desk under the small lip and they rested.

Brock looked over to a small window above Tyler and them that showed the small platform with railing, there were curtains on the inside that they would be closing at night, speaking of night Brock saw it getting darker outside already, then the break came to mind, they had stopped for a long time back at that lake which took up some of their time but it was worth it, Tyler sighed and got up stepping outside the station and shut the door behind him, the other's looked up while David was tuning his guitar a bit before playing a simple tune. Lui turned to him wondering if now was a good time to tell them all, David glanced at him seeing his face and thought for a minute before shaking his head giving Lui an answer, Brian looked at the two then looked over to the other four.

''Can I tell Brock?'' he whispered and the two looked up, Brock looked at him then at them ''Tell me what?" Lui stared at Brian then looked at David who sighed ''Sure.'' Brian smiled and turned to Brock leaning over to whisper it into his ear, Brock's eyes widened and he looked at the two sitting across from them ''Really?'' they nodded ''What did you say?" he asked looking at Lui ''Yes.'' he said smiling and looked down, Brock's eye's then smiled along with his lips ''That's amazing.'' he whispered while Brian looked over to the other seeing they couldn't hear them and smiled facing the three again.
