Chapter Seventeen

Luckily, Julio got up before Jordan and snuck back into the guy's room.

I sat up and yawned.

I played around with my short messy brown hair and eventually gave up on the rat's nest.

I walked into the meeting room.

Devon, Jordan, and Zach all sat at the table, talking.

I sat down too and joined in on the plan to scavenge for more food.

Julio walked in.

For a second I thought.

What are Julio and I anyways?

Is there such thing as love in a world of hate?

Are we a public thing? Or is it a secret?

Julio kissed me on the cheek and sat next to me.

Well that answers that.

Everyone stared at us.

"So, how about that plan?" I tried to move the conversation along.

Devon looked away hesitantly and continued.

But Jordan continued glaring at Julio.

"Look, I know I'm beautiful, but I'm taken." Julio eventually said to Jordan.

Jordan scowled and continued the conversation.

"Bee and Will went out on a search party for Mitchell and Sean. They said they'd be back before the sun is at its highest." Devon told us

"You mean noon." I corrected.

"There's not really a sense of time here." Jordan explained.

Devon and Julio both raised an eyebrow.

Neither Jordan, Zach or I didn't feel like looking like psychopaths today so we didn't elaborate.

"There's a apartment complex just south of here." Zach suggested. "Some windows weren't broken. Meaning it's possible some of the rooms weren't broken into."

"I told you, we aren't going there. There's an old junkyard just by the bay." Jordan said.

"We aren't going anywhere near there, the warehouse is on the other side." I shot the idea down.

"How about we just solve this when Bee and Will get back." Dakota said as he walked into the room, holding Dashiell. "We all could use a little relaxation."

"You're right." Julio agreed and smirked. He draped an arm across my shoulders. "I think big bro wants a word with me anyways."

"Yes, he does." Jordan smiled sarcastically.

The corners of Devon's mouth drew down into a joking frown. He slowly got up from his seat and left the room. Zach and Dakota shifted uncomfortably and followed Devon.

"Jay, you can leave." Jordan dismissed me.

"See ya, princess." Julio winked at me.

I blushed a little and ducked out of the room, but stayed in a spot where I could hear what they were saying.

"What the hell?!" Jordan said in a fierce tone.

"Well, now I know that your sister is a lot less hostile than you. And that's saying a lot."

"Just-"

"Yeah, yeah, 'stay away from my sister' I've heard the speech before."

"You don't deserve her. You barely know her."

"But I've already undressed her before. And I don't just mean with my eyes." I could hear the smirk on Julio's face.

"I've never been in this situation before. But last time I let someone date my sister, it didn't end well at all."

"And how did it end then?"

"She died mad at him!" Jordan yelled.

My eyes widened and my hand flew over my mouth. Had Jordan gone mad?!

"What do you mean?"

There was a pause.

"It's hard to explain."

"Really? Because to me it seems like you think that beautiful girl in the other room is dead."

"She's not beautiful! I mean she is! But you're not allowed- But you're not supposed to-"

"I think you need some sleep, bud. Those late night search parties are getting to you."

"You don't tell me when-"

Jordan stopped mid-sentence.

"What's that?" He whispered.

"Yep, you've gone mad." Julio confirmed.

"No, no. Listen."

"Jordan. Give it a rest."

Jordan huffed angrily and left the room.

I waited until it sounded like Jordan had gone past me before coming back out.

Julio sat at the table, eating his ration.

"You shouldn't be so hard on him." I made my presence known.

"Me? Hard on him?" Julio exclaimed without turning around. "He was going mad, lack of sleep is my guess."

"Mad. Sure."

It was silent for several moments.

I heard something.

It was faint but I could hear it.

"You hear that?" I asked.

Julio looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

He put down his food and felt my forehead with the back of his hand.

"You feeling okay, princess?"

I swatted his hand away.

"Seriously, listen."

We both stayed silent and the sound could be heard.

"The hell is that?" Julio questioned.

"I'm gonna go find out."

I ran to the exit and grabbed a gun before leaving.

I could hear Julio following closely.

The voice became clearer.

'Hello? Anybody? What's happening?'

That voice was so familiar.

I followed the voice.

It echoed throughout the abandoned buildings and alleys.

I heard soft crying as I rounded a corner to look at the source of the noise.

My eyes widened and I dropped my gun.

Julio caught up.

"Who's that?" He panted.

I took a step towards the curled up figure and whispered.

"S-Stacy?"

Hey dere! Sadie here!

OH SHIT OH SHIF OH SHIT

I FELT NICE TODAY :DDDDD
