A shiver ran down my spine as he asked if I was okay. Of course, I musta made it obvious, if he had been able to tell. I'm not trying to be mean tp Felix, just he isn't the first to notice something amiss. With a deep breath, I gave a soft smile.

"What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine."

I said with ease, as I tried to ignore his stare. Fortunately his gaze seemed to have shifted and I looked back up. I didn't want to make him feel weird so I gave another smile, softer this time as I walked over to him and gave him a pat on the back.

"It's alright, don't worry about me. Now C'mon! I think it's about time we all go and take a little bath, right?"

I said with a chuckle as I grabbed his hand and lead him out of my room, down the stairs and towards where everyone was supposed to gathered. I wasn't use to someone worrying about me, so I had no idea what to do. All I could really do was avoid it.

(Lol, no worrying. ^-^ But Lukas sure is funny. c: )

Felix knew that Bow was lying when she said that she was okay, but he chose to ignore it for her sake. He perked up when she suggested a bath, smiling. "That sounds great!" he said, grinning, and almost jumped out of his skin when she grabbed his hand to take him downstairs. He blushed immediately, hoping that she wouldn't notice. While they sped down to the common area he tried to get his face back under control, both the blush and the silly grin.

Everyone was milling around or sitting and talking, and it seemed like nothing much was going on. Felix spotted the walkie talkies sitting on a table, right where he had left them, but he figured if almost everyone was going to the river they wouldn't need them. He stayed by Bow as they went to the river, in front of everyone else. He hoped that no one was looking at him funny, as he was imagining eyes on the back of his neck, thinking about them seeing Bow holding his hand.

When they reached the river Felix kicked off his worn shoes and socks under a tree and jumped into the cold water, fully clothed. Others began to follow, and he laughed aloud, happy in the group for the first time. [i]Is this what having friends feels like?[i] he questioned himself, thinking back to Stephanie. He thought it might be, but thinking about Stephanie also made him feel incredibly guilty, as he looked at Bow. As much as he knew he should, Felix was terrible at moving on.

"All is lost... Hope remains..."

I was having such a nice dream... A dream where everything was back to normal. Where we still had adults to tell us what to do, and running water, and electricity. Where I still had my old friends, before they moved away, leaving me alone. Where we still had school to go and learn from. I know it's what everyone is thinking, but I'm probably the only one to admit it; I miss the old world.

"Hey, Ash."

A soft whispered seemed to have pulled me from my trip down memory lane, as a soft groan escaped from my lips.

"Five more minutes..."

I pleaded, shifting as if I was still asleep. But I still was, kind of. At least I still wanted to sleep. It felt nice where I was, even though it was only a closet. It was cool, dark and quiet, everything that we don't get much lately. It felt so nice...

But that voice sounded so familar, it was nice. But since I was still half asleep, I couldn't put a voice with it, even though it was calming. I really liked...

Ash grumbled, "Five more minutes..." and Lukas almost had to laugh. It reminded him of the past, when he had to go to school and walk his sisters to the bus stop in the morning. Though the memories were happy, they also made him sad. Stop it, he thought to himself, thinking about the past isn't going to bring it back. At least you have your sisters! After a minute, his sneaky subconscious added, And Ash. Don't you forget about her. Lukas knew that he was fighting a losing battle with his attraction to her, but for the time being he was trying to keep his attitude professional, not wanting to know what chaos would ensue if he was distracted from taking care of everyone.

He looked at Ash thoughtfully, debating what to do. She really seemed comfortable, despite being crammed in the corner of the closet, and for all he knew she hadn't gotten any sleep the night before. However, he really didn't want to leave her in the dark closet. Lukas quickly ran back to his room, grabbing the notebook and pencil from the floor. He leaned up against the wall by Ash's closet, leaving the door open, and continued to plan.

A little while later, Alex appeared in the hallway. "Hey," he said, looking skeptical but ignoring Lukas' odd location, "What's up?"

"Just planning. I think we should go get some mattresses tonight, because everyone's been complaining. See?" he answered, holding up the pad of paper for Alex to see.

"I can't argue with that," Alex told him jokingly. "Anything I need to do?"

"Just tell the boys," Lukas told him, but thinking of Ash sleeping in the closet on his other side, he felt guilty. "And, uh, why don't you ask if there's any girls hanging around that want to help? We're going to need it."

Alex looked stunned at Lukas' suggestion, but he didn't argue. Lukas had wanted to ask Ash, but she showed no signs of waking up, and he didn't want to disturb her. Rubbing his temples Lukas stared down at his plan, making a few more notations. It wouldn't be final until he knew how many girls were helping, but he had to admit that they would make the whole thing a lot easier.

It was great to see Felix all buddy-buddy with everyone. I couldn't help but be happy. He was finally making friends, and I wasn't pushing him. I couldn't help but grin as I watched from the hill, him mess around ith a bunch of the guys. I even notice a group of girls pointing at him and giggling, blushes evident on their faces. Looks like Felix has some girls crushin' on him... I soft chuckle edmitted from me, surprising me slightly, because I wasn't feeling very happy. In fact, a bit upset. But I had no idea why.

"Hey, I'm gonna go down the river a little, send someone to get me if anything happens."

I told one of the guys that had stayed back with me as I stood, brushing off my jeans. I gave a small smile and wave to the guy before heading off, not even waiting for a reply. I wanted to be alone for some reason, so I found I hidden part of the river covered by trees and bushes and knew it would be the best spot. Without much thought I began to take my shoes and socks off, cringing at the stink. God, I wish I had some freshener spray... The thought lingered as I rolled up the pant legs of jeans and took off my jacket. It sure felt nice just to stick my feet in the water, but I knew sooner or latter I wouldhae to dive in so... I chose soon, and quickly jumped in, the cold and refreshing water felt so nice, I couldn't help but forget all my worries.

(I seriously love Felix! He is so cute!!!
Random, sorry... but I really just had to say it....)

| Felix |

Felix had been joking around, but not enough that he didn't notice when Bow left the group. He felt that she had been watching him, but he knew that was a silly idea. Why would she care about what I'm doing? he thought, but he was interrupted when Jim dumped a shoe full of water on his head. "Ew! Gross!" he laughed, dunking his head under the water to rinse his hair free of smelly shoe water. "I'll get you!"

He chased Jim to the other side of the river, slipping on the smooth stones. Jim was laughing too, and soon a bunch of kids had joined in, splashing each other. After a few minutes Felix slipped out of the group, starting to feel claustrophobic with all the people and water. He felt a lot cleaner than he had before, and wrung out his pants as he stepped up on the river bank. The grass was soft, so he didn't bother putting his shoes back on, instead choosing to walk in the direction that he had seen Bow take when she left. He didn't see her at first, but eventually he spotted her swimming by herself in a secluded place.

Not wanting to disturb her, Felix sat a little higher up the bank, feeling the cool water run out of his hair, making his t-shirt cling to his scrawny chest. He laid back, a feeling of calm invading his body now that he was away from everyone else. Stretching, he looked over his shoulder, and was surprised to see a few people in the distance.

"Hey, Bow!" he called, loud but at the same time a whisper. "We might have trouble!"

((I know! Too bad he's not real. XD))

"All is lost... Hope remains..."

I guess it was the sound of talking that forced me to be fully awake. It sounded like two people, I suppose so I didn't want to disturb them. But I couldn't help but overhear, and I was slightly surprised to hear Lukas actually ask for girls' help. Guess the fight really did change somethings. I thought as I stretched, waking Sunny with my movement. Soon or later I'd have to get up, but for now it felt nice just to relax.

After a few more silent minutes I gave a soft sigh and motioned for Sunny to climb back up. I, then, crawled over to the partially opened door, sneaking a peek to make sure I wouldn't interupt anything.

"Still working? What happened to the girls?"

I looked around, wondering how long I had been asleep before reutrning my gaze to him. I took the spot next to Lukas, glancing down at his notebook full of ideas. I wonder if he knows how lucky he is? To have both brawnes and brains? I let out a deep breath as I waited for him to finally notice I was there. It felt like there were no worries, the air was calm and, it felt nice. Really nice...

(If only... :c )

Lukas noticed immediately when Ash stuck her head out into the hallway, but he didn't acknowledge her at first. After she sat down next to him he turned his head, smiling at her. "So," he asked, "how was your nap?" He sat the pad of paper on the floor next to himself and turning toward Ash. He stretched and flopped back against the wall, laughing.

"I think I've got it all figured out," he told her. "I asked Alex, but it would be great if you could find out how many girls can help us tonight. I'm pretty worried about it after the attack on the grocery store, but it's something we need to do. What kind of weapons do you guys need?" he looked at Ash for a second. "You girls probably have some already. I'm pretty unobservant, aren't I?" he laughed, his question rhetorical.

Looking at Ash he smiled, hoping that she would forgive him for all the time he had spent discouraging her and other girls from helping. He glanced at the plan one more time, sighing. Despite all his planning, he knew that it was mostly going to be running around afraid of every shadow with heavy mattresses. The cover of night protected them, but it also made things more dangerous. He was worried about loners a lot more than he was the kids from the south side of town, and hoped that they would be strong enough to withstand any attempts to steal their mattresses or members.

I jumped, startled by the sudden voice, having no idea someone was even there. I'm losing my touch... I thought as I grabbed my jacket off the river bank, fumbling slightly from rushing to put t on. I couldn't hold my shock in as I spotted Felix uptop the hill on the bank.

"What is it?" I asked, not paying attention as I fixed my jean bottoms. Once I looked up, I understood quickly. Crap! How'd they find me? I cringed as my wound began to throb from the memory of last night. I cant believe they are actually here in broad daylight, well... at least this time I'm not alone.

"Felix! Go and tell the other to hurry and head back! And tell some of the guys to come and back me up? 'Kay? I'll hold these guys off til then." I said, not wanting to get him involved. I couldn't afford to hurt someone that actually helped me out. And it looks like the leader of the loner group actually brought his own back up.

"Hurry!" I whispered harshly as I stood in a fihgting stance, crussing myself for not bring my pipe with me when I should of predicted something like this to happen. And I'm at more than just one disadvantage. Hopefully they would hold off until Felix brought me some guys.

"Well, well, if it isn't miss leader. Back again for more pain?" the rather tall boy spoke as he came closer and closer, causing even me to flinch and back away a step. I really am losing my touch...

(Yay! Action! Lol. Sorry it took a bit. But Just giving a heads up, all through August I won't be on as much due to my band practice from 9-4, so it might take a little longer than usually for me to reply and I won't be free until about October 31st. I know it's a while, but I thought I should tell you before I forgot. ^-^)

As Felix ran back to the others, the only thing he felt was worthless. Of course, he alerted the boys, and a few who had brought weapons grabbed them and ran over to Bow, hopefully in time. Most everyone else followed to back her up to, but Felix just couldn't make himself do it. You're weak, he scolded himself. You're useless! If you knew how to fight Bow wouldn't be in so much trouble now, and she'd like you better. But no. You're just going to sit on this rock and pout until they're done. Pathetic.

Felix was indeed sitting on a rock, and he really couldn't think of any way that he could make the situation right. He was convinced that it should have been one of the other boys over by Bow, not him. Picking up a stick, he beat it against the rock until it snapped in half, but he knew that if he needed to use it as a weapon he would freeze and get clobbered. There were shouts and gruesome noises coming from the rest of the group, and Felix finally decided to sneak over and watch through the bushes. Then, he reasoned, no one would find him when they came back from winning the fight, as Felix knew they would.

((Don't worry about it. (: Also, sorry I was so late to respond. I've been writing a long story for a contest and it's stealing all my muse.))
