In My Darkest Hours

Chapter 7:

"When are they supposed to get here?" Katz asked. We were currently waiting by the side of the road for our ride.

"In about 5 minutes." I answered, I ended up being the one to order the Uber since the other two were basically broke. 

"Ughhh. If I have to listen to Castor baby his chicken any longer, I'm going to lose it, and I'm taking you down with me." complained Katz.

Sighing, annoyed with my two companions, I look up towards the sky. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and branches of the tree, casting shadows in swirling patterns. On one of the lower branches rests a nest with a large bird in it,  a little higher up near the top sat an odd circle shaped dark object. It looked like... No it couldn't be, I assured myself, squinting the see it better, IT WAS! How in Irene's name did the tire get stuck on the top branches?! Is that even possible?!!! Did it grow wings and fly?!!! 

BEEP BEEP

A car pulls up as I turn. The window rolls down and the driver calls out, "Are you the group I have to pick up?"

"That's us." Katz replies as I grab my bag and Celestia and Castor gathers his chicken up.

"Keep your pets on your laps and hop in then."

The ride to the airport was short and uneventful, a welcome reprieve. We had no difficulty when going through checks and made it to our plane just in time. I wind up sitting in the window seat with Katz to the right of me and a stranger next to him. Castor was sat a few rows away. 

Phones off and seat belts buckled, the flight attendant calls for our attention, "Alright crew before we take off there are a few important details to discuss. Your seat belts should be fastened until the indicator turns off. As you can see up here this is a fire extinguisher they are kept in these cases, In the event of emergencies..." Suddenly all of the anxiety and nerves at the thought of returning hit me all at once. It was really happening, I was going back. They are my friends and always will be, but we didn't part on the best of terms. In the beginning The Hall was filled with jokes and banter which slowly dissolved into arguments and fights that eventually became physical. Fights became more and more frequent until almost any interaction any of us had was fueled by anger. Memories of what had happened forced themselves to the front of my mind. Both the good and the bad.

A hand touches my shoulder as I jolt out of it. "Are you okay Jess?" Katz looked at me concerned. The stinging in my palms that I wasn't aware of until now lessened as I unclenched my hands. Crescent marks littered my palm from where my nails had dug in. 

"I'll be fine, I think I'll take a nap, wake me when we get there?" 

He nods, "Okay, rest well."

A/N May I present the long awaited chapter 7, it was only half written back in 2020, I finished it today. Originally they were going to miss the plane and have to take a boat, I do not recall what they were supposed to do on the boat though lol. I feel like I wrote so much but there is so little. Also I do not recall what made me choose the song for each chapter but I did have a playlist save of songs I listened to while writing and each song was chosen from that list, there are so many songs on it, I chose a random one, might change it later. Just so y'all aren't confused, the next chapter is going to be a flashback to around the beginning of super minecraft, it is going to add lore and explanations so that there isn't such a massive difference from the setting of mystreet. Also at some point I'll be rewriting parts of the first chapters.
