The Island

Part 1 - The Island

Chapter one: Festive mood

I had woken up covered in glitter and neon paint in a bed that is not mine. I remember we had been celebrating the reinstitution of the tribes. An annual event celebrated only once every ten years. It was the 4th anniversary, 40 years had passed since the great war ha ended and the new founding fathers re instituted the tribes in order to save those who survived the atrocities of the war.

My head hurt. There were two other people sleeping next to me. I sat on the bed two make sure who they were and as I suspected, Scott and Violet were there. Drunk and asleep. I tried to look for my phone but I couldn't find it. There was still music outside and people yelling and dancing probably. My head hurt more and more. I got up and headed for the bathroom. I could spot a few familiar faces laying on the floor. I found my brother, shirtless and sweating next to a girl with her breasts out. I approached my brother, shook him but he wasn't responding. I took his phone, left a message and went to the bathroom.

The air was thick and it was accompanied by a strong smell. Vomit and alcohol. As if someone had been vomiting the entire night. I entered the bathroom and found three people naked in the bath tub. They were passed out. I need to pee son I covered them with some towels I found on the floor.

I washed my hands and went back to Violet and Scott. They had woken up too. I found them sitting on the bed, with their heads down. Scott was rubbing his hand on Violet's back.

"There you are!", said Scott. "We've been looking for you".

"I was in the bathroom trying to pee".

"I don't feel so good", said Violet. "I want to... I want to throw up but I can't", she added.

"Let me bring you some water", I said while I was heading for the kitchen.

Surprisingly, the kitchen was still clean and it was very pleasant to be there. I cleaned up a glass and poured water in it. I found a couple of aspirins on the kitchen counter and headed towards Violet and Scott. Scott was in the bathroom and Violet was laying down on the bed. I grabbed violet and sat her down on the bed. I gave her the aspirins and made her drink the entire glass of water. She hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Lay down with me and hug me", and so I did.

Scott laid down next to me and we stayed there for a couple of hours, sleeping. I woke up first and realized that we were alone in the bedroom. Violet had vomited on the floor and Scott was holding onto my arm so tightly I hurt a little. I waited for a while and tried to wake the up. Scott responded almost immediately, while Violet didn't seem to respond.

"What happened yesterday?", he asked.

"I can barely remember", I answered while rubbing my hands on my face.

"Have you been working out?" he asked while grabbing my arm. "Yes, I can tell".

"Just a little", I answered quietly.

"Take off your t-shirt, let me see you", said Scott while he was taking his shirt off.

"No, what are you doing?", I added while tucking my t-shirt inside my pants.

"C'mon! don't be shy. I've seen you naked!", he added while pulling my t-shirt.

He insisted until I agreed. "Okay! But let me do it", I said.

I took off my shirt and to be honest, I was going to thank Scott because the room had warm up a lot and I had stared to sweat.

"Look at you... where did you get those abs?", said Scott while looking at me. "How did you manage to get those?" he asked with a subtle smile on his face.

"I've been working out", I answered.

"It shows", he said, "Can i?" he asked while his hand was getting close to my chest.

"Scott...", before I was able to finish my sentence, his hand was on my chest. He had cold hands, I moaned and jumped. "It's okay", said Scott while his hand made his way down my chest. He was touching my abs when I felt another hand touching my leg. It was Violet's.

"What are you afraid of?" asked Scott while his hand was caressing my abs.

"It's okay Salvador", added Violet while sitting next to me with her breasts out.

"We are friends..." I said while taking Scott's hand off my body. "We are not supposed to do this".

"We are friends... no need to worry", said Scott while grabbing my face and make me look him into his eyes.

Before I could step back. My lips were touching his lips. He had big, tender lips. I was startled. I didn't know how to answer to that. Violet was touching my chest and kissing my neck. I'm not going to lie. It felt really nice. I was hesitant. I was second guessing if we should be doing this. Until I felt violet kissing my abs. Her lips were cold and her hands were near my crotch.

Scott had kneeled and started to unzip his pants. He pushed me down and made me lay on the bed. I gave in. I started to kiss back Scott, his lips were comforting and reassuring, I felt safe, Violet had joined in. Her lips weren't cold anymore, they were warm. As usual, Scott took the lead and undressed me while I was kissing with Violet. In an instance, I felt his whole body naked against mine. His erection felt weird for a while but then, as he started to touch my private parts, it began to fell as if we were meant to do this. Violet's breasts were soft and tender. Me and Scott were sucking on her nipples listening to her moan and sigh of pleasure. We gave in, we all gave in.

After we finished, we stayed there contemplating the void, thinking about what we had done. We fell asleep quickly, spooning each other.

I woke up somewhat disoriented. Alone in the bed. I found my phone under the pillow and check it. It was 5 pm. I had 30 messages from my mother, 40 missed calls from my bother and two messages from Scott; "I left early", "Thank you". I couldn't find Violet around so I grabbed my clothes, got dressed and got out of the house. I called my mom and explained her that I was sleeping in Scott's house even though it wasn't his house.

"Come home right now!" my mom yelled over the phone.

"I'm on my way", I answered.

I was walking home thinking about what had happened with Violet and Scott. I couldn't believe we had done it. But I couldn't get it out of my head. The way Scott knew how to touch me and kiss me. The way violet was moving her hips and how all of our bodies merged together perfectly. I knew this would make things weird. I kept walking, distracted the thoughts of having Scott's lips against mine while a black truck parked near me next to a dark alley where potheads go to die.

I stopped and stared while four huge men got out of the truck. They were all dressed in black. I searched through the street to see if I could find someone else, but it was me and them alone. Two of the men hopped into the back of the truck and grabbed a big black bag that seemed to be heavy. One of the men faced me and I quickly hid behind some trash cans. They threw 3 bags near the alley, jumped in the truck and left. I stayed behind the trash cans for a while until it was safe to come out. I stood up and looked around. The men were gone. I got close to on of the bags and before I could do anything. The bag started to shake and jump all over the place. I took a step back and all of the sudden, the bag screamed.

I started to run to my house as fast as I could. I didn't look back.
