Chapter Seven

We drive through the debris covered base, dodging wood, metal, deer carcasses, plastic traffic cones, etc.

We drive to the other end of the base and get to the missal housing thing. Only the people with Time were allowed out of the car. So, I went out with Impact, Rose, Time and Dark.

We walk inside, but the door is locked by a keypad, "Step back." Time says, pointing a gun at the keypad, we all step back as she shoots the panel. She twists the knob and opens the door, holding it open for us to go through, we walk quietly through the building into a room full of weapons. Wow.

"Grab some," Time says, grabbing a hand gun," We'll need them sometime or another." We do as she says and grab them. All of them.

We walk out of the building with bulging duffle bags, full of guns. We throw them in the trunk of the car and drive off, everyone else following.

"Where are we going now?" Dark asks.

"Grocery store," Time says, flying through the base," We need more food at the house." House is an understatement. It's a mansion big enough to fit all the Specials of the world, which isn't a lot since there are over seven billion people in the world. The majority always wins.

We arrive at an abandon Trader Joe's but this time the car being driven by(an obviously tipsy) Samuel goes in and takes the food. They come back ten minutes later with seven bags full. They throw them in the trunk but Samuel grabs something in a brown bag from under his seat and then Blue is driving.

We drive back to the house and unpack everything. Time puts the guns in secret places all around the house and we put the groceries away. Blue and Samuel don't help when putting things away, they just argue about Samuel's drinking problem.

"What's his problem?" I ask Rose, nudging my head towards Sam," Why does he drink?"

She looks over at Sam and shakes her head," To deal with pain. His parents ignored him and when they did pay attention to him, it was when he needed a beating. He drinks to forget the pain. To forget his past."

"That's sucks. But, he shouldn't drink away the pain. He needs to deal with it and live his life with Blue, the person he loves."

"Yeah, well, we've tried that with him, it did not end well." Rose shivers.

At lunch, Sam isn't at the table, neither is Blue. I go to look for them. I go to Blue's room first but no one was there. Then I go to Sam's room and see Sam passed out on his bed and Blue crying while throwing a vodka bottle to the floor, breaking it.

"Blue?" I say, walking into the room. She wipes her tears and collapses.

"I don't know why he won't listen!" She yells, crying harder. I sit next to her and hug her from the side.

"Let me talk to him," I say after a moment," I'll make him stop."

"Everyone tried, no one succeeded," She sniffs and then cries harder," He doesn't want help, he doesn't want to get better! But if he loved me he would stop and be better!" My sad expression quickly changes as I stand up. I walk over to Samuel's bed.

"What are you doing?" Blue asks, quietly. I hold my finger to my lips, universal sign for shut up.

Then I bitch slap Samuel so hard he falls off the bed and wakes up," The Hell is wrong with you?!?!" He screams at me. I glare at him and scream back," How fucking dare you!" His face goes pale and his eyes go wide," You're hurting Blue and you don't even care!" I kick his side, he shrieks," You fucking drunk! Everyone tries to help you and you just don't even want to be better!" I kick his side again, he continues to shriek, Blue stays in place, but I hear footsteps and then everyone else is in the room and Time is holding me back.

I scream and a lightbulb breaks in the room. Everything goes red for a split second and when it's normal, Time's back is on the wall, but she's wide awake and scared out of her Goddamn mind.

"Don't touch me." I say, looking at Time. Rose comes over to me and places a hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me. Samuel is sitting up against the bed, his arms wrapped around his stomach and nose bleeding. I finally calm down and gasp. I start crying and I collapse next to wear Blue is still sitting. She's not crying anymore, instead she's smiling thankfully at me. She hugs me and I hug back.

I look over to Samuel, I crawl to his side. At first he backs away but then I hug him and he stops moving.

"I'm sorry," I say, then I slap him again," Want to be better?" He nods, crying," Then fucking act like it." Then I help Blue up and walk out of the room with her, clinging to my side.
