Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 17

March 6th, 1999 One Year Later

With April 9th approaching soon I know I'm about to win.

Ethan and Grayson are much happier and I'm still alive.

The last two years in this odd timeline will soon be over and I will return home where I will leave the home of Jake and Sammy and will blossom as the 18 year old I'm supposed to be.

The passed year went by fast as I spend almost every moment of my life with a friend, primarily Ethan and GraysonUp until June I knew what to expect,

since then it was basically the same.

Spend all day at school learning what I already know and then return home with E and Gray or go with James while they worked.

I'm close to Tori still, thank fuck I'm saving her.

I met Danny, another would be victim, through Patrick as well.

The four of us have sat and talked about god, me and Patrick both politely declining the religion.

Me and Patrick are at Blackjacks when Ethan, Grayson, and their coworker Phillip get off work at the same time.

"Liv, take a ride with us. We have something cool to show you," Ethan takes my hand and pulls me out of the booth.

I wave to Patrick and head to Ethan's car while Phil gets in his.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Its called Rampart Range," Grayson explains as Ethan drives.

"Uh, isn't that a shooting range?" I ask worried and they nod,

"17 years olds can't have guns,"

"We found ways. Especially through Phil," Ethan answers.

"I don't know about this, doesn't seem like a good idea," I shake my head.

"You'll be fine, you trust us right?" Gray asks.

"Why do you have them?" I ask careful, obviously I can't announce that I know why, fuck! I got so close. I still need to try.
What if I steal their guns?

"We like shooting ranges, duh," Grayson says as if it's obvious. I shake my head and bite my nails nervously.

I need to stop them, I can't go a whole new round like this.

We get to the woods and Phil is standing with a long haired man and a woman. Phil has headphones on and they have a few guns with them.

Ethan parks by his car and Grayson gets a few guns out of the trunk.

Ethan and Grayson start shooting off a shotgun while I stand by the other girl.

"Hi, I'm Jessica, Marks girlfriend, are you dating one of the boys?"

"Gross no, just a friend," I watch as Grayson shoots a bowling pin and him and Ethan laugh about it as Gray brings it over.

"A little lead for everyone, I wanna take out the tree," Ethan says taking the gun next.

Grayson takes his turn next,

"Try to hit the tree, I wanna see what happens,"

Well, at least he cares about Grayson as they practice a fucking murder spree.

They shoot a big hole in the tree. "Look at that shit!" Grayson says excited.

"And it hurt my wrist like a son of a bitch," Grayson shakes his hand off.

"Mm is that so?"

"Look at that, I think I've got blood now,"
Grayson laughs at the wound on his hand and I shake my head, I've had to patch up that hand so many times.

"Huh?" Ethan looks over pointing the camera.

"Ow," Grayson complains still.

"Stop being a fucking idiot then," I cross my arms and don't offer him help

Phil and Mark talk about their other guns and how stupid Grayson is for using a that gun for target practice.

Mark shoots off a different gun and then teaches Jessica to shoot it.

"That could be us," Ethan giggles holding a gun bigger than himself.

"I'm not interested," I back away and he looks sad.

Ethan moves to Jessicas side and I look confused.

She starts shooting and he keeps moving in odd directions and I notice him reaching out, "I'm catching shells,"

They each take turns shooting and offering me to join but I decline.

Grayson turns the gun sideways.

"Whats up dawg, I heard you got some beef with me," someone laughs at him and I look over annoyed not realizing who it was.

Phil starts loading a gun and having difficulty with it. "Phils got a disease," Mark laughs.

"The fuck bitch?" Grayson adds.

"Shit, Phil can't load a weapon right," Mark continues.

Grayson loads his sawn off and looks over at Ethan, "Can I borrow your left glove please?" Ethan runs over and hands it off.

Grayson looks at the wounds on his hand more. After a few more shots Mark takes the camera and zooms in on their hands where they get cut by their sawn offs.

little later I hear Ethan laughing.

"Entry, exit," he holds a destroyed bowling pin and I shake my head even more annoyed. Mark takes Grayson sawn off and shoots it off immediatly wincing in pain,

"Goddamn," He shakes his hand off and cocks the gun.

"Fuckin Linda Hamilton style," Phil laughs as he films it.

"You should try to round that out," Mark lets Grayson know and he nods.

"Fuck I ain't even gonna try," Mark teases Jessica as she shoots,

Phil takes his turn and Mark laughs more,

"Oh fuck man, here comes Phil," Its a shame I just met Mark, he's pretty fun to be around, too bad its under horrible circumstances.

"Its double action so its still loaded," Phil tells E and Gray as they switch guns back and forth.

"Thats not what double action means Phil," Mark fathers him.

"Oh well I mean not fucking uh," he stutters and I laugh.

I feel comfortable around them since their reason to be out here isn't sinister.

"Playing with cut off shotguns," Phil points as Ethan and Grayson nurse their hands.

Mark takes his turn to father them as well, "Guns are bad, when you saw them off and make them illegal bad things happen to you, just say no to sawed offs," Grayson flips his gun over "Baaaaad," "No, no, no," Grayson taps his finger on it and I giggle remembering why I love these boys and need to save them.

They finish shooting and look at their handywork, especially on a few trees. As we drive I ask them where they got their guns.

"Don't tell anyone, we got the handgun off them. Hannah used her ID to get the shotguns and rifle," Ethan answers.

Well now I know, if all goes wrong and I have to deal with a round 3 then I know who to find. But I'm gonna give it my all to stop them before its too late
