Chapter 9

"Don't Fear the Reaper."

More time had passed with Michael and despite him being very busy with work a lot, you both adjusted and college continued to fly by. You graduated with a Bachelor's and on the Dean's honor roll. With that passing time you still hadn't seen and barely heard from Jim. You found out Michael and Jim ended things when it became too much for them and they just went their separate ways. He still had some feelings for Jim he repressed, but you were the love of his life and that wasn't changing. You graduated a semester after Michael did and you were very proud of him. He was equally enthused about you graduating and the future you would have together. In that time Trump had been president, he was up for another term soon after the impeachment proceedings against him had unfortunately failed. You and Michael moved in together his final semester of college into a condo. It was comfy and home to you, no one would make a better roommate for you than Michael and he was the perfect person to share a place with. After spending a few more months together, Michael informed you the plans were all set and the bombs would be exploding soon.

You made him promise years prior that he couldn't follow through with the end of the world plans until he swore to you that Jim Mason and his sister, Medina, would be there too in the outpost. Outpost 3 was the place where you would be residing in. When Jim and Medina first found out that there were bombs and explosions all around the world, they panicked, of course, but followed Michael's instructions about getting to safety without any hesitation. All of the preparations were in place and the outpost residents besides the four of you were carefully selected. Unfortunately, Jeff and Mutt were the ones who planned the rest of the setup arrangement and they had it so that to much dismay from you, that Ms. Venable was there. The two of you always butted heads but having her there would suck.

After promising that you would be safe, Michael kept you out of harm's way when the bombs dropped. You, Medina, Jim, and Michael were arranged to fly in a private jet. There was no pilot except the plane was self-flying and Michael knew how to land it when the time came. You were unsure of what the fallout shelter would look like but Michael reassured you all your needs would be met. The outpost used to be Hawthorne School for Boys and he attended Hawthorne for his high school years. Being the intelligent person that he was, Michael graduated in only three years. There would be enough food to last over ten years even though it would be consumed by 13 people. The future was uncertain and you were a bit worried. Even Jim had shown weakness when he heard about what would happen but Medina, his twin, did the best to try and console him. You didn't blame him at all, you wanted to believe everything was alright but your parents couldn't even come to the outpost. It was understood that there wasn't enough food for more than a certain amount of people and it would be impossible to take everyone.

All our times have come, here but now they're gone.

Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper. Baby, I'm your man.

It was all so dark, the world ending, millions of people dying, humanity as you all knew it collapsing. It was like Stephen King's The Stand come to life. Except this wasn't an end-times movie, it was the real thing. There was no going back and that was scary. You trusted Michael completely but it was unfortunate that things had to end. You used to think the end times were a myth, some hoax, a story in the Bible, but those prophecies were now a reality. It wasn't Michael's fault this happened, it wasn't his doing and he had no say in it. The Devil did though and despite Michael not asking to have been born, you couldn't imagine living without him now. Saying goodbye to your old life and the world as you knew it was easier than you thought because with everything destroyed, there wasn't much of anything to go home to.
