I had this chapter started when I had to get a new tablet, and I lost all of my word documents. I am so sorry, but I wanted you guys to know it was out of my control. The only way we could've gotten them back was if we paid them over 250 dollars… and up to 1,500. It sucks, and I hope you guys don't mind. Stand with me on this please~

Thank you for my first review! Thank you to the guest named Mina! :D You know, you can get an account and follow/fav this story for me! ;)

Wow. I just realized it has been about a month since I last updated. Sorry about that! ^_^` (anime face with teardrop on forehead symbolizing apologies and embarrassment)

I look around at the kids gathered with me. I begin to realize they are more important to me than I've ever imagined…

"Lily? Lily!" Cary's voice jolts me back awake. Apparently I had zoned out.

I smile to myself, then respond. "I'm ok."

The boys and Alice shuffle uncomfortably at the awkward silence that follows. Alice glances at my pleading face, and breaks the silence. "So, about the plan…"

I nod. "Cary, do you and I combined have enough supplies?"

"Hell to the yes! We have more than enough!" he exclaims.

Charles nods. "And I've got the camera and blueprints."

Martin and Preston glance at each other. "What were we supposed to bring again?"

Charles gives himself a face palm. "Ugh, why do you guys have to be so…" he pauses, searching for the right words. "…so clueless!?"

The boys grin sheepishly, then Martin mutters, "Care to answer us, boss?" he sneers at the last part, louder than before.

Charles rolls his eyes. "Martin, you were supposed to bring the food. Preston, you were supposed to bring the supplies to build it all."

Suddenly, a thought crosses my mind. "Guys, did we even ever finish our conversation about the train crash?"

Cary groans. "Lily, I don't really want to talk about it."

"I know, but I wasn't there, and I'd like all of the info I can get."

"I said, I don't want to talk about it!" he snaps at me, his face turning slightly red. He glares at Martin and Preston next. "And why won't you two dimwits get with the program? We all have duties to preform, and you people don't ever do what we expect of you! You're useless!" he slams his foot on the ground, and we start to lift off the ground. The anger slips off his face as he realizes what's going on. He steps back, and we fall (the two inches we were off the earth) back to our original standing positions.

"What. The. Fuck, Cary!" I screech at him, stepping up to his face. I slam my finger into his chest. "You start yelling at us for no reason, and more importantly, me! You yelled at me! I'm your girlfriend! What the hell!? Then, we lifted off the ground when you slammed your foot down. Off the ground! Do you have an explanation for that, genius?!" I scream.

His face goes completely horrified. He looks at the others, and all of them except Alice are glaring too. Alice has a face that seems like she is horrified, crossed with a few unreadable emotions. Cary turns, and runs down the hill.

"Great job smartie-pants. You scared him off." Charles scowls.

"Good!" I scream, as I march off down the opposite side of the hillside.

Alice races down beside me, but I wave her off. With a look of sympathy, she returns to the boys.

I march back to my house, and collapse onto my bed. The tears that I'd been holding back finally break free. After the diner talk the other day, I thought we were all good. All of us. I found a friend in Alice, and the boys were all comfortable with me around. Everything was fine, until Cary had to blow up at us all.

Suddenly, it hits me. Cary's been acting different ever since I visited him in the hospital, an I intend to find out why.
