Lost Ourselves[Wip]

Chapter 4:Trust No One

The walk to Ike's house was longer than needed. My feet were freezing under the snow. A short time later I approached his doorstep. His parents weren't home so I was able to go to his house. They didn't really like me for some reason.

Knock,Knock, Knock.

“Ike?”

I called out. Just then I heard a set of footsteps rush towards the door. The door swung open and there Ike was.He rushed out and hugged me.

“Oh,Apollo-”

He sounded like he was in disbelief and out of breath.

“-You have no idea what I just received in the mail yesterday.”

I sighed.

“We need to talk”

I say quietly. He held my hand as he rushed me up to his room. I took my paper out of my jacket pocket and started to unfold it. Ike watched me and stepped behind me

“You have it to?!”

. He said worryingly. I sigh. Not only am I in this but 15 others that I love truly are in this dumb crap. The sad part is most of them will turn on each other... including me.

“Yes,and I really don't want you to die-.”

Ike chuckled.

“I wont die you peanut,may I see that paper?”

He held out his hand and I gave it to him. He scanned over it.

“This isn't the one I had”

he mumbled. Making me more concerned. I sat on his bed and let my body sink in the soft sheets. I watched as Ike flipped the paper over and over. He nodded as he read.

“Take a look at this.”

He handed me the paper. It stated:

-you may work in groups of two,we are watching you.

Interesting.So what if we kill everyone and it's just us two left?Can we win together?Why is the world like this?So many questions that will most likely never be answered. Ike sat beside me.

“I won't let anything happen to you,you are my friend!“

he assured me.

“Right back at you,goofball”

I hugged him with all my might,I love comforting him. We stayed like this for a while until he finally spoke up softly.

“Apollo.”

I looked up at him.

“Yes?”

He was just staring at me before he realized what he was doing.

“Ah-sorry-”

I giggled a bit as he shuffled away.

“If we work in groups,will you promise not to hurt me?and to have my back while fighting?I know I sound dum but...im serious.”

How could I ever hurt this boy?First of all he was hot(lol),but secondly,he was just really sweet. He could never hurt anyone unless it meant protecting his friends or himself. He was definitely the type to make you laugh and pee your pants.Not intentionally,but because he sounds so serious but yet stupid at the same time.

“Ike,I love you to much to hurt you and yu know this. I will be your partner and we will win. We will fight like it's the end of the world.”

He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back. We sat there in silence.Not an awkward one,but a comfy one. Then his parents pulled up in the driveway.

“You should get going.”

He pointed towards the window.

“Yeah,see you later.”

I waved at him and headed through the window. The drop wasn't that high.I stumbled as I landed on my feet and checked my phone.
