Choices

Chapter 71

I decided to do a mini photoshoot with the "potential couples" and I honestly love how they turned out! Enjoy this one of Hope 2.0 and Tyler because I'm evil like that ;) The song is I'm So Sick by the band Flyleaf!

(Hopes POV)

"Hope, that's... well I can see why you started crying when you came and hug me now. That sounds like an absolutely horrible dream," Autumn says as she brings her knees up and hugs onto them. She and Holly stayed in the living room with me while all the guys were where Jordan was being kept.

"Not to mention what Tyler is doing is a douche move, doesn't matter if he likes you or not. John like you but isn't doing that shit." Holly says as she brings her legs up on the couch and lays her head back on the cushion.

"Brian said that both Evan and I were talking when we were sleeping, wonder if his dream was as bad as mine was." I lay my head on Holly's shoulder as I look back toward the news playing on the T.V.

"I highly doubt it Hope, 'oh no my girlfriend left me for her stalker' yeah it sucks but not as bad as oh I don't know 'four dudes that I'm supposed to trust to have my back and they all fucking come onto me like horny middle school boys.' I didn't experience it but if you can't even look or hug one of them at the moment, that shows how messed up the thing was." Autumn says.

"Who were they Hope?" Evan says, his voice getting closer to us. Holly, Autumn, and I all go wider eyed as we figure out what to say.

"Don't you ever knock or something? How long were you even standing there for? We ARE allowed to talk with each other privately you know." Autumn snaps as she turns to look at Evan who's standing next to Tyler and Del. Oh boy, even better.

"We heard the last thing that you said Autumn, you going to tell me or-" Autumn forcefully gets up and turns to look at the guys.

"YOU'RE NOT HER DAD! GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER BACK EVAN! SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERY SINGLE DETAIL GOING ON WITH HER!" Autumn screams. I sit up straight and stare straight ahead, not wanting to fight this battle today.

"WELL WHEN YOU THREE STOP SNEAKING AROUND AND HIDING SHIT FROM US, I'LL QUIT ASKING! LOOK AT HER, SHE LOOKS DEAD INSIDE. SOMETHING IS UP WITH HER WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME ANYTHING?!" Evan yells back.

"BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO EVAN! WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN IN HERE?!" Holly yells back.

"He... Jordan is surprisingly worried for Hope apparently a couple of the syringes that you guys took back at the club are extremely fatal and depending on what she experienced, he'll be able to tell if it was the fatal one or not," Del says calmly. I look over at the three guys scared now and hop off of the couch.

"Then I'm going in with Holly and Autumn, no one else and-" Evan crosses his arms.

"No. No that's not fucking happening Hope. You're not in charge here, for fuck sakes what do you think we'll do to you in there, crucify you or something? Hope I think death is way worse than a fucking fever dream." I want to bang my head against a wall, if only he could read minds then he'll understand just how bad it was. I groan out of frustration.

"FINE LET'S GO! DON'T SAY I FUCKING WARNED YOU THOUGH!" I start storming to the door but the three of them stopped me. Tyler hands me a large black t-shirt, probably Evan's.

"Just like with Evan... this is for you with Jordan. We'll test to see if the serum worked after he gives the all-clear for you. We'll walk you to the range." Del says.

"How do we know if he's lying or not?" I ask as I fold the t-shirt up and wrap it around my eyes, tying it behind my head.

"He may have lied with Evan's dream, but I don't think he would want you to die Hope, I mean, he is a little bit obsessed with you, just saying." I felt two pairs of arms grab at my biceps and slowly walk me forward. I felt my heart rate increase rapidly as flashbacks of the fever dream come back to me.
