close imy eyes and slept off.
A girly voice woke me up.
Morning.
I open my eyes
John: Morning.
I sit up.
Girl voice: and how was your night?
John: it fine, (I clear my eyes) wait, Xia?
Xia: yes.
I stood up and hug her. She want to push me away but hesitate. Then.
Xia: hey get off me.
John: sorry I got carried away. How are you feeling.
Xia: am fine thanks to you.
John: thanks to me? what are you talking about.
Xia: your friend there told us everything.
Dan: you are welcome.
John: Dan? Geez what's wrong with your face. It all swell up.
Xia: he pass his boundary.
John: wow that's....... Wow..... I mean harsh.
Dan: I won't give up.
I check around
John: where is Jack
Xia: he is outside by the truck
Outside.
Jack was smoking
John: Jack?
He look back
Jack: hey kid. How have you been. ( he open up his arms)
I rush towards him and hug him then I release him.
John: there is nothing more beautiful than freedom.
Jack. Yep there is
John: and what is that.
Jack: cigarettes.
John: let me have some.
He tossed a cigarette to me, I grab it in mid air light it up and inhale then exhale.
John: Ahh this is more like it.
Xia and Dan came out afterwards, we form a cycle.
Jack: So tell me why we are not going to your house again John.
John: (exhales) Well I found Megan and things did not work out as I thought it would. So maybe some other time.
Jack: Alright.
Xia: So what are we going to do. It's boring.
Dan: well my lady, I know of a wonderful place created for beauties like you.
Jack move closer to my ear and whisper.
Jack: This guy life is short.
I whisper back.
John: I know. right?
Dan: Hey what are you guys saying
Jack: We are just planning your funeral. No big deal.
Dan: Jack. It's you?
Jack: me, nah, she not my taste.
Dan: Well John it can't be you right?
John: Hey just stop it alright.
Xia face was down.
Xia: am going back inside when you come up with something let me know.
Xia walk away back to the building.
Dan: Was it something I said?
John: Dude just, (sigh) don't worry mhen. You are good. She just need a little time.
Dan show a confuse expresion
Jack took a glance at my broken hand.
Jack: shheeeesshh your hands not looking good you sure that going to heal.
John: eventually yeah.
Suddenly,
John: ouch. (I held my head.)
Jack and Dan: what's wrong.
John: nah nothing just a little headache. I think its the cigarette.
Threw it away.
I feel a little dizzy.
John: you know what guys? am going inside, I think I need a rest.
Dan: rest? But you just woke up.
Jack: are you sure you feel okay?
John: Am fine guys I really am. Thanks for your concern.
I keep walking to the building, Jack and Dan keep on starring at me as I walk back to the building. then gradually I began To walk slowly and finally fell down.
4:30pm
When I woke up. The sun is setting. I sit up. They all sat outside, turn their back on me.
John: what's going on? why are we outside?
They all turn back immediately.
Dan: John you are up, how are you feeling.
John: great why did you ask.
Xia: Your broken hand how does it feels, is it still painful.
John: of cause it's pain.......... Wait a minute. The pain. The pain is gone. Did you guys did this.
I was surprised. I unband the hand and bend it side ways and upward. Testing the pain but it's all gone and it's fix completely.
Xia: so you don't know what happen.
John: what did you mean.
Xia point to the truck.
I stood up. Get close to the truck. It destroyed, every single part of it has been destroyed.
John: What who did this?
Jack: the devil himself.
John: where is he. How dare he did this to our only way of moving out of here. f**k!!!
They all look at them self
Dan: John.... You did it.
John: what. (laughing) wait stop with your joke Dan. Common we all know I've been sleeping the whole time. Only I was surprised how I did not get to hear as everything went down to this extent.
Xia and jack: it's you.
John: what?..... This is not funny guys. What are you talking about.
Xia: Remember when you fell unconscious.
John: I fell unconscious?....... Wait yeah that true, I was feeling dizzy and headache.
Xia: we all know that it's was not you but you did messed up everything.
Jack: not only did you destroy the car you also plough the building to the ground.
I look back and to my surprise, the building, a 10 meters building known to be ex shopping complex.
John: you guys please be serious, I don't like prank. Please.
Jack put his cigarette in his mouth inhale and exhale. If you don't believe us, at least you trust your broken arm and bruised leg.
I could not believe my ears, I was totally dumb found.
Dan: what surprise me most was that, you did not attack us, it like you are blameing yourself on something you have done in the past. Something you regret your whole life.
I keep my face down look at my two arms.
John: this..... I don't know what to say guys. If I truly did this am really sorry, I don't have the memories of it. It's all blank
Jack: Nah don't worry John, am just happy you are on our side. Finally , no one is gonna bully us no more we got a monster among us. No offence.
John: non taken
Xia: hey if you are blaming yourself for rippers death. Don't worry I forgive you. It's necessary of you to do that. You save me that day. I was so carried away and blind that I don't know where am going to. Thanks a lot.
John: hey don't say it like that, I never got to tell you how sorry I am. I really wish it did not turn out that way. I am sorry.
Tears form in her eye. She raise her eyes up to avoid showing that she is crying.
Xia: it's fine, that life. May his soul rest in peace. I know that we will see each other soon.
John: (sad face) yeah.
Jack: you guys, should just shut the f**k up. How dare you brought this up. Bring it together.
He called us close and we hug each other. Dan wanted to join the group hug but was Shy. Jack pull him together.
Jack: welcome to the family.
After some moment the scene shows where the four of us sat on the ground and gazeing at the wonderful sunset.
After some minute of silence.
Dan start Stretching his neck forward then use his hand to provide shade on his face. It look like he saw something far away.
Dan: Guys, guys, Level 2 Mutant and it's coming fast.
