Zero to Six.

Chapter Nine ~ Deep Conversation.

A shot rang out.

I knew it was coming, yet I still flinched.

The man who had been punching Four repeatedly, fell to the ground like a bag of bricks. Meanwhile Four had managed to haul himself up and perched on the orange platform.

I sank to the floor in relief. "Seven, you are a saint." I whispered to the man who now stood beside me.

He reached out his hand for me to grab onto. Pulling me up we both sighed.

"Get in the car." I just stared at One my anger about to boil over. "Zero, please. Get back in the car!"

Was he honestly mad at me right now? I'd never wanted to punch someone so much in my entire life.

I knew though as bad as I wanted to hug Four when he finally joined us, too much had happened tonight and we had to get out of here as fast as we could. So I stormed towards the Mini where Five stood holding the door. She gave me a quick side hug and kissed my forehead.

I ducked inside, sitting on the far right side.

I held the head rest a bit too tight with one hand, the pain of my nails digging into the fabric distracted me from the previous events.

About Three minutes passed before everyone else started to pile back in. Three lifted me up slightly so I was sitting on his lap.
Seven occupied the middle, Four and Five were to his left.

I couldn't look, I wanted to glance at Four to see what condition he was in but I knew if I did and saw him so broken I would burst into tears.

I felt him burning holes into the side of my head but all I could do was stare out of the from windshield, trying hard to control my breathing.

Once we arrived back at the hotel I made a fast exit, One reached out to speak to me but I just forcefully pushed him aside.

"HEY! Zero you get back here right now." He shouted after me.

I swung around angrily. "Why should I? Give me one good reason. Why I should talk to someone who's going to stand there and watch someone we all care deeply about die! and don't stand there and give me a bullshit lecture about 'it's what you signed up for, you knew the rules'." I mocked One.

Everyone just stood there shocked at my outburst.

"Zero, keep your dam voice down." One snapped back.

I felt a shooting pain in my side that travelled all the way up my side to my neck, my knees buckled as I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head. then the blackness took over.

I woke up to the sound of running water, when I finally got my bearings I realised that it was the shower.

Wait who the hell is in my room and using my shower?!  I swear if its One am kicking his butt out of here clothed or not.

I turned on my side deciding not to care and get a bit more sleep.
When I noticed the skateboard resting against the wall.

I shut my eyes again, only to tear them back open. A skate board?! this is Fours room.

"Ah you're awake." I turned around so fast the shooting pain in my side came back.

I laid down on my back, the back of my head hitting the pillow hard. A grunt of pain leaving my lips.

"Hey, hey careful. Not too fast." Four shot forward, helping me settle more comfortably.

"What happened? I don't remember anything after I shouted at One." I kept my eyes closed trying to focus on making the intense pain go away.
