Chapter 13- We Need a Plan

     We all sat in the kitchen, silent. I had just woken up and called everyone to meet in the kitchen.
     "So everyone, I think we need a plan." I say.
     "Prepare to destroy Death Star's main reactors! And why is Kora eating all of those cookies?" says Russ very suddenly.
      Kora's face turns as red as a beet as she tries to stay clam even though I know that in her head she has already died of embarrassment.
     "Some of us like to eat cookies Russ!" says Freddy, defending Kora.
     "Ooooh" I say staring at Freddy.
     "No! Stop it! I don't like Kora!!" he yells.
     Kora shrinks in her chair, stops eating cookies, and fights the tears coming to her eyes. I try to distract Freddy until she is looking more normal-ish.
      "That's not very nice you know, you can hurt people's feelings saying that. Stop being mean to Kora!!" He looks at me, shocked, and then at the ground.   
      "I'm sorry Kora..." he mumbles almost inaudibly.
      "Sorry doesn't help ya know..." I say. "It just makes people know that you don't exactly care and want to be done dealing with a situation!!".
He doesn't understand...
     "STOP ARGUING YOU IDIOTS!!" shouts Russ.
     "Fine," I say. "Does anyone have a plan?"
      "I think we should try to open the door tomorrow. We should pack some food, water, clothes, and medical supplies. This is your last night to be all silly and chill, this has been like a break from school for us, but no more silly business after tonight, got it?" says Nikki.
     Everyone looks surprised to see that Nikki knew so much about situations like this.
     "Yes ma'am!" I shout, saluting her. She giggles.
     "Pack now, then you do whatever you want for the rest of the night." she says.
     I run to my room just before I realize that there's nothing to pack my stuff into.
     "Umm anyone find any suitcases or anything?" Someone taps my shoulder. I look over my shoulder, but there's no one there, so I turn around completely and Louis is standing there, gripping a black backpack and a dark blue backpack.
     I take the dark blue one. It seems durable and its tag says its waterproof. Plus, it's blue.
    "Thanks!!" I say.
    "No problem," he replies.
I grab a few shirts out of my dresser, ones that aren't pretty so I won't get upset if they are ruined, even though they aren't even my clothes. But then again, I suppose that they weren't anyone's clothes... There are clothes for all sizes of people, from infant all the way up to, well really big people.
Soon I finish packing the rest of my bag and then I realize that this is my last night to have fun. Hmm, what to do, what to do? Well, probably hang out with my friends but what else? Paint my nails? Watch a movie? Eat donuts? I have absolutely no idea now. Well, let's go and see what everyone else wants to do...
When I enter the Lounge, and everyone's huddled in a circle.
      "What are you guys doing?" I ask, confused.
      "We're playing truth or dare once again!! And it's most likely the last time sooo, you should probably join us." answers May, patting the floor right beside her.
     "It's your turn now Autumn!" says Freddy from the opposite side of the circle.
     "Hehehe I have a very good one!! I dare all the guys to pick a girl and kiss her!!" I said with a gleeful smile on my face.
     Russ gulped, his face turning red, tears springing to his eyes. We all know the girl he liked, Sasha, was outside the bunker.
     "It's ok Russ, you don't have to go." I say after realizing my mistake. He just nods and walks out of the room. May runs after him, most likely to comfort him.
"You two boys still have to though..." I say.
      "Ugh fine," says Freddy.
     Louis just smirks. Freddy fake kisses Kora again and walks out of the room. Kora leaves soon after. Louis is the last one there. Besides me and Nikki. Nikki gets up to leave, but Louis goes up to her and full on kisses her on the lips. When my brain processed this, I looked back at them and Nikki is kissing him back. I silently stood up and walked out of the room.
When I entered my room, I locked it and then burst into sobs. How could he do this to me?!? I thought. I sob and cry for a long, long time until I can't cry anymore. Then I start to kick things. I kick the metal wall as hard as I can, but it doesn't hurt. I want it to hurt, to distract me from the numbness in my heart. I kick it again.
     This time it hurt but just slightly. I collapse to the floor and just lay there, until there's a knock on the door.
     "Autumn let me in." says Freddy, quietly. I get up and practically drag myself to the door. I unlock it and open it. He comes in and just gives me a hug. A nice, long hug that makes me feel so much better.
     "Thank you." I whisper, really meaning it.
     "That's what friends are for, but anyway Louis is going crazy pacing back and forth in the Lounge. You realize he only did that to make you feel jealous, right?" says Freddy.
     "Tell him that he should've thought more thoroughly. I'm going to bed, and no, he can't come in. I'm sleeping alone tonight."
     "Ok, see you tomorrow Autumn.   
     "Good night,"
     When Freddy leaves, I get into the bed, thinking of Louis kissing another girl so passionately.
     "Why?" I whisper quietly for only the universe to hear. Then I shut my eyes and try to forget what happened. I'm never playing truth or dare again.
