Hope is Dead

Chapter fifty five

Tyler kicked the door of a house in and looked around cautiously before letting the others inside, Brian helped Craig to the couch while Jon shut the door behind them ''We're just gonna imagine that group isn't out there?'' Lui asked Evan who seemed to be acting off ''No, I'm gonna be keeping watch upstairs with Brock.'' Brock looked over at them ''Me?'' Evan looked over at him ''You and Tyler.'' he said picking him at random ''Each of us will be watching out a window making sure no one is coming.'' he explained his plan ''Why don't we all just stay up?'' Craig asked looking at them all. They all stopped looking around at each other ''Because we need sleep.'' Tyler crossed his arm's over his chest ''I haven't seen you sleep since the city.'' Evan looked down and Tyler finally figured out what was wrong ''Oh my God you didn't sleep in the city.'' Evan groaned turning around.

''When was the last time you've slept?'' Jon asked and Evan sighed walking upstairs, Jonathan followed him up while the others stayed in the living room area ''Evan.'' Jon said walking down the hall and into the room he saw Evan go into ''What? Are you gonna lecture me about not sleeping?'' Jon stopped, looking at him ''No, why would I lecture you?'' Jon asked confused ''Look, I don't sleep for a good reason.'' Evan said simply and turned away from him rubbing his eye's ''You're scared.'' Jon guessed being confident with it. Evan looked down ''No.'' Jon stepped forward and put his hand on Evan's shoulder, Evan turned hitting Jon's arm away and pointed at him ''I am not scared of anything!" he yelled and Jon stepped back from him.

Evan then sat down on the bed and looked at the ground ''I'm not scared.'' he said calmer and looked at the ground, Jon walked over and sat down beside him breathing out ''Sorry.'' Jon put his arm around Evan ''It's ok.'' Jon said understanding and peeked over at the door seeing Tyler peeking in, he waved him away with his other hand and Tyler noticed he had it and went back downstairs. He looked at the other without saying a thing and they understood Evan just needed space, Tyler sat down on the floor beside Craig as Lui went into the kitchen.

''Sit beside me.'' Craig said sitting up, Tyler stopped him and laid him down again ''Be comfy.'' he basically ordered, Craig smiled ''Can't believe I broke it.'' Tyler chuckled ''At least it's healing.'' Craig turned his head looking at him ''It feel's weird.'' Tyler smiled and grabbed his hand ''I bet.'' Craig smiled and looked up at the ceiling, Lui peeked at them while Brock walked past him into the kitchen ''I don't like them being away from us.'' Brian bugged to Brock who sat down with him at the counter ''Neither do I.'' Brock added and Lui looked back at them ''Think their safe?'' he asked walking over and leaned on the island counter.

''Yeah, wasn't Luke like, in the war or something?'' Lui and Brock looked at Brian a bit confused ''Two years.'' they turned around seeing Jon push off the door frame and walk to them ''How'd you know?'' Jon asked leaning on the counter next to Lui ''Guessed, looks like he might've been.'' Jon nodded looking at his hands ''Has dog tags because they wanted him to be fully apart of the team.'' Jon explained and looked into the sink seeing a used glass and some dishes ''Was it true you two use to live together?'' Brock asked curious and Jonathan nodded ''Moved away when he had a girlfriend.'' that made them confused ''Really?'' Jon nodded ''She's in North Carolina.'' they were really shocked now ''Wait their still together?'' Lui asked and Jon looked at them ''Did he not say anything?'' they shook their heads.

''Huh? Wonder why?'' Lui looked at them ''What if he likes Marcel?'' the two tried holing back laughs ''Sorry, why was that the first thing that came to mind?'' Brian asked while Brock was still trying not to laugh, Brock soon stopped his mini laugh attack and looked at Brian ''He would've gotten worried and he didn't even mention her at dinner before all of this.'' Brock cleared his throat and looked at them ''He's right.'' Brock said and looked at him ''There were many times where he could've asked to go to North Carolina.'' Brian looked at both of them ''He wanted to go.'' Lui nodded ''For Jon, no his girlfriend.'' Jon looked at them ''He really never told you about Christian?" Lui shook his head ''Not once.'' Jon smiled ''Maybe.'' Brian couldn't believe him and Brock smiled ''How, he didn't strike me as someone who liked guys.'' Brian asked, Jon shrugged ''He's like me, Bi.'' Jon hinted at and Lui's eye's brightened.

''Are you fucking kidding me!" Tyler peeked over the couch ''Guys.'' they turned ''People are trying to sleep and we are trying to hide.'' Brock smiled and got up joining Tyler and Craig in the other room ''What?'' Jon asked turning back to Lui ''You never said you were bi?'' Brian informed and Jon smiled ''Why?'' Lui asked a bit heart broken ''I didn't know how you would take it.'' Jon said truthfully, Brian chuckled now making Jon puzzled ''Lui's bi, I'm pan and I think Marcel's also bi.'' Brian said thinking of the guy's ''I don't know about Tyler or Craig but I know that Evan's gay.'' he added and looked at them, Jon's jaw dropped ''You're lying to me.'' Lui shook his head ''Nope, David was gay too.'' Lui said only to stop afterwards and looked around before back at Jon.
