SAVIOUR ♕ the society

1.8

Laughter filled the church, I was laughing at Allie and Will who sat to the left of me. I notice Helena stand up and walk to the front of the church with a plate in her hand.

"Hey, everyone. Hi, um. So at Thanksgiving, my mum asked us to say what we're thankful for." She starts and everyone groans, "Oh, come on. Nobody? Do I have to go first?"

"Um.." Jason says, from across from me, "I'm thankful for how hard my team fought at touch football. Oh! And I'm thankful that Luke hasn't lost his throwing arm. Let's give it up for Luke!" Everyone cheers and claps, before Jason nudges Clark to say something.

"Uh, I'm thankful I can get stoned everyday without my parents on my ass." Clark admitted, making us all laugh and smile, "Though I miss them giving me a hard time."

"Well, I'm thankful for Clark." Allie says, standing up beside me, "For saying what we've all been thinking. You know, we all miss home. We miss our mums and dad's. What we want to say is 'wait for us, we'll find our way back'. I also want to thank everybody who cooked tonight. Toast, toast! To all the cooks!"

"I have something I'm really thankful for." Helena says, standing up, "I'm gonna marry Luke. Who does still have his throwing arm, and he's also the love of my life. You're all invited. Um, it's going to be the first wedding in the new world, so uh, hit me up if you know how to make a wedding cake."

"Can I be your brides maid?" I said, smirking and Helena laughs causing everyone to laugh too.

"Dessert to celebrate!" Everyone cheered. I saw the pumpkin pie come back to us, and I smiled as I grabbed another piece. I watched as the improv group was now on stage.

"Okay, everybody. Thank you." Bean starts, "We are going to put on a play for you right now that's never been done before. Can I have a situation from the audience please?"

"Thanksgiving dinner!" Clark yelled and I looked at him.

"Did you come up with that yourself?" I said, and Clark flips me off making me laugh.

"Field trip! We can do that." Bean says, as the group huddled in a circle.

"All aboard for the national park! You're either on the bus or you're off the bus!" Brandon Eggles, acted as the bus driver says.

"Are we there yet? I have to pee!" Lexie says, pretending to be busting. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the play.

"Final destination!" Brandon yelled as they all hopped off the 'bus' and walked into the 'woods'.

"These woods go on forever. Are we lost?" Bean joins into the acting.

"Who decided we should go on a field trip anyway?"

"Olivia did." Clark says, and everyone laughs.

"What if there are wolves and bears in these woods? Bean questions in a dramatic tone as Lexie lets out a cackle.

"Oh, no! It's an evil witch!" Jessica says, hiding behind Brandon.

"And I cast a spell on you!" Lexie says and I raised an eyebrow.

"Is it me or does she actually fit perfectly into this roll?" I whispered to Allie who snickers before we look back to the front.

"Eye of newt and toe of dog, I turn you into a frog!" Lexie says, waving her hands at Brandon.

"Somebody kiss me!" Brandon says, crouching like a frog.

"And I turn you into a crone!" Lexie says, pointing to Jessica.

"Oh, I knew I should've done Botox!"

"Will no one stop this witch!" Bean gasped.

"I'll stop this witch!" Blake exclaimed, "Who died and left you in charge?"

"My sister!"

"Your sister?"

"Yes, my sister. I make the rules now! And you'll eat what I tell you to eat, and you'll sleep where I tell you to sleep. And you'll work for me!"

"Oh, no! Nothing but drudgery 'til we all die of old age!" Jessica adds before gasping and hitting the floor.

"Wait a minute. It wasn't old age. There's a bullet in her heart!"

"Alright, show's over." I said, standing up after I hear a mimic of a gunshot.

"You dare defy my power?" Lexie says, walking towards me.

"I'm not apart of your stupid improv." I said, walking forward now too.

"But we haven't even gotten to the best part." She says, smirking. Before I could get any closer, I felt someone grab my wrist and I knew it was Grizz.

"That's enough." Allie says, before she walks off.

"And scene!" Brandon says, clapping his hands and I glared at him.

"Grow the fuck up." I spat before turning and walking out. I got outside, and I felt like I was going to throw up, I hear the church doors open and I looked back to see Grizz walking out.

"Hey, you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You don't look to good. Do you just want to get out of here and go home?" Grizz asked and I nodded.

"Anything to get away from this place." I said, and he smiles grabbing my hand. We walked off and I noticed we were walking to his old house. We get inside and get up to his room and before I could admire the room, I felt my stomach groaning. I put a hand over my mouth before I walked into the bathroom, spewing everything up.

"Storme, are you okay?"

"D-Don't come in here." I said, throwing up more. I hear the door open, and I felt someone hold my hair back.

"Shit, Storme, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, I don't-," That's all I remembered before darkness just took over me.

THIRD PERSON POV

"Gordie!" Grizz yelled as he ran into the clinic with Storme passed out in his arms. Her face was pale and she looked very sickly.

"What happened?" Gordie says, running up to Grizz.

"She-She was throwing up and she collapsed, then started seizing up." Grizz panicked, "I-Help her please!"

"Here. Put her down." Gordie urges the teen to a spare bed, "Kelly, we need an IV! How long has she been out?"

"I don't know! Like 5 minutes, less?" Grizz says, he had tears in his eyes. He didn't want to lose her. He couldn't, not like this. He was scared shitless just like last time, just this time he couldn't help.

Grizz tries to help the teens putting the IV in but they pushed him away, needing space. They waited for about 10 minutes before Storme moans, Grizz hears this and he comes straight to her side.

"Grizz?" Storme says, and Grizz exhales in relief.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Grizz says, brushing her hair back.

"Okay. What happened?" She says, frowning. She goes to sit up, pushing her arms down before wincing in pain and looking down noticing she was hooked up to an IV.

"Uh, you seized on the bathroom floor. I brought you here, Gordie and Kelly hooked you up." Grizz says, gulping down.

"Wow, real life savers huh?" Storme says, chuckling a little before groaning in pain. She looked to notice Grizz wasn't laughing, and she picks up his head.

"Hey, I'm okay."

"I could've lost you again." Grizz says, a tear slipping. Storme wipes it away with much effort before smiling with her blue lips.

"I'm here, okay. I'm sorry for always scaring you but I'm here." She says, and Storme wraps her hand around his large one. After that, Storme fell asleep after all her energy was drained from her.

Grizz continues to stare at her, thinking about her smile, the way her hair is always out, the way she laughs, the way her eyes light up about her art. Grizz knew then, that he was fully and totally in love with her. He always had been.
