A/N: Sorry these last two chapters are so short. Chapter 8 will be out sometime tonight and it will be longer.
Ant's POV
It has been an hour or two since Jordan and I had our moment. Now we are officially boyfriends. It makes me smile every time I think of it.
Ryan, Jordan, and I are currently traversing the forest floor. We decided we've had enough of the jungle and are heading back to Coal Town. We are hoping to find more of my memories there. By the time we reach the edge of the jungle the town is within our sights. Ryan and Jordan are a few blocks ahead of me as they are nearly at the edge of the town and I am lagging behind just barely out of the jungle. I jog to catch up to them. Once I do I walk next to Jordan. I grasp his hand in mine intertwining our fingers. "Can we slow down a little?" I ask quietly. "I'm still tired from earlier."
"Yeah. Sorry." Jordan slows his pace. "Ryan!" He calls to our friend in front of us. Said friend pauses and looks back at us. "Slow down some." Jordan tells him. Ryan waits for us to catch up to him. Once we do the three of us walk into town. Jordan and I walk hand and hand while Ryan walks next to us.
"Something wrong?" My batman dressed friend asks.
"Just tired." I explain.
"Alright." He accepts my answer.
"Woah!" I suddenly trip over my own feet. I would have face planted into the ground if Jordan didn't catch me.
"You okay," my friend- no, my boyfriend- asks.
"Yeah." I reply shakily. It's not that I was scared of falling or anything. I was just surprised and a little shaken up. Alot has happened recently. Too much has happened recently. I don't know what to expect next. My little stumble just got the better of me.
"Let's go to that house we stayed in before," Ryan suggests. "There we can all get some much needed rest."
"Okay." I agree. I'm too tired to complain.
We carry on walking through the town making our way to the house we stayed in with our other friends a few days ago. (Adam, Aden' and Eden's old house. The one they lived in before the squids attacked Coal Town.) We reach the house around dusk. It got late quick. I must have been asleep for most of the morning. Jordan, Ryan, and I enter the house and immediately head for the guest rooms. Ryan gets his own room while Jordan and I decide to share one. Jordan and I climb into the room's only bed. We cuddle together and I fall asleep with my head on his chest listening to his steady heartbeat. That night my dreams are haunted by memories.
