[DISCONTINUED] ❝Ante Mortem❞ 【Sally Face】

【xii ; fresh drinks】

Selene comes out of the kitchen walking backwards, holding a tray of drinks. You all watch as she balances your drinks on the tray, trying not to trip as she takes small steps towards your table.

"A-Americano for Larry.. F/D for Y-Y/N, u-um.. chocolate milkshake for Sally, and a cup of Jasmine tea for G-Gab." She says, placing each drink on the table. She smiles nervously, "Did I-I get it, um, uh, right?"

"Spot on, Selly, spot on." Sal nods, unclasping the bottom buckles of his prosthetic. He sips from the straw, and you watch as he sips on his drink from under the mask.

You're still so curious.

Selene sits with you, having her own drink.

"Wha-What made you decide to come h-here?" She asks, smiling a little.

"Gab said he missed you, and him being blind, we decided to come with him here." Larry says, sipping on his Americano. "Nothing like caffeine to give you energy."

"Ew, coffee." Gab scrunches up his nose. "I'm better with my leaf-water, thanks."

"Ew, tea." Larry mocks, taking a long and loud boisterous sip of his coffee.

"Fuck the two of you, cocoa forever." Sal raises his milkshake, only to decide it's a horrible mistake as he still has it under his mask. He puts it down quickly, groaning as his hands shoot up under his mask. "The straw went in my nose, fuck that hurt."

The sentence got all of you choking on your drinks, laughing endlessly about Sal's predicament.

"Shut the fuck up, it hurt!" He retorts, now taking another sip of his milkshake.

"E-Eww, you're-" You laugh a little, continuing, "- you're drinking from the straw when it went in your nose!"

"Shut up, it's my nose." Sal replies, now crossing his arms. "You guys are fucking bullies."

"Wow, that hurt," Larry feigns hurt, pointing at his heart, "It hurts right here."

"Shut up, Larry Face." Sal chuckles, which somehow warms your heart. Wow, every soft thing that Sal does make you smile doesn't it? Meanwhile, Gab and Selene are still laughing.

"Wait- I-I actually saw how if happened!" Gab exclaims, tears escaping from his eyes at how hard he was laughing. You stare at him, eyes widening a little. Gab knows how Sal looks like?

You pout a little in jealous, but get caught in a trance as Selene blurt out, "M-My lungs are going to explode!"

The words echo into your mind, suddenly feeling yourself be pulled out from your body. Everything becomes a blur before seeing yourself passing out as your head hits the table.

You couldn't breathe, you tried to breathe, but something pierces your lungs. You scream, but you could not breathe.

It's like all the air is escaping from your lungs every time you inhaled.

You breathe in again, but you could not. You clutch onto your chest, helping in the slightest as you gulp in as much air as you could.

There was noise and chaos around you, smoke starts to envelope the area as people cry out; some in protest, some in anger, and some in pain.

"████! ████, can you hear me??"

You open your eyes, the world becoming brighter against the grey smoke.

"████ STAY WITH ME!"

You suddenly sit up, hitting foreheads with whoever is near by. You groan simultaneously, rubbing your forehead from the impact.
