Pilot
I shot awake some moment in time, it was still night time though, the sun wasn't up and it didn't look like it intended to come up in awhile. I stood up and stretched, sighed and looked out into the dim light.
Everyone was sleeping soundly, Erik and Jade were curled up together, Aaron was off in one of the corners, couldn't see anybody else. I sighed again, knowing I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep for another couple of hours and decided to go look around.
More likely to look for Lily.
She seemed to be hiding, and I didn't want her to, I wanted to talk to her. Wanted to know why she didn't find me sooner.
I wandered aimlessly, humming to myself, looking around and keeping an eye out for that dark blonde hair. I finally found her, sitting by herself in a room, examining her hands. I stood in the doorway and said "Hey". She jumped and looked up at me.
"Hi" she said quietly. I sighed and looked down at my own hands then asked quietly "Lily, if you knew I was here why didn't you come find me?" I looked up at her and she looked at me. God I had missed her.
"Because… Pilot I'm dead back in our world. DEAD! And if you ever get back there Pilot I wont be there, I know I'm dead there. I didn't want you getting used to me being around again, I don't want you to… be hurt" I stood up suddenly mad now.
"You think I don't know pain Lily? You think I haven't made it my best friend?-!"
"Pilot I-" she stood up, putting a hand on my shoulder. I threw her hand off and shouted "Ever since you got yourself Yeerked back in Jersey my life has gone downhill! You think I don't know pain?"
"Pilot calm down" Lily said quietly.
"No… I know pain Lily. I lost Chad, I put my hand right in his face after he had blown it away, I watched as John was taken away in an ambulance, I watched as my sister was incinerated by my dad! While my mom stood off to the side and laughed! Then I watched again as she was brought back only to be blown to itty bitty fucking bits! Then you came along… pretty little you… and watched you die Lily… I sat there and watched! And then I watched as my dad was killed, I watched as his head fell to the ground… I'll never forget the sound his head made when it smacked to the ground… you think I don't know pain? YOU THINK I CAN'T HANDLE LOOSING YOU AGAIN?-!" I screamed, throwing her hands away, giving her one last glare before I shot out of the room.
I found myself back into the room they had shoved us in, didn't really want to be in there so I stood out in the hallway, staring at the rock wall across from me.
I could feel my self control just leaking away, I didn't want to be here, I wanted to be home, I wanted to fight the Yeerks somewhere were there was actually some hope left.
Suddenly I screamed and lashed out at that stupid wall in front of me. All the pain and grief I had kept locked up in my own universe suddenly poured out of me. Naturally I only ended up hurting my hands, but I didn't feel it right now, didn't feel anything.
"Pilot! Stop it!" someone screamed, couldn't tell who. I was grabbed, my arms pinned down at my sides, I was forced to the ground, my feet trapped underneath my own body. I heard someone ask what was wrong with me, didn't know who, I just wanted to tell them everything was wrong. This place was wrong. This world was wrong.
I leaned forward, resting my head on the dirty ground, sobbing now. Whoever had been holding me released me, and somebody else pulled me into a sitting position. It was Jade.
"Pilot?" she asked quietly, starting to pull me into a hug, I jerked away from her and scrambled to my feet and away from them, and right into Lily. She grabbed me before I could run off again, pushed me against the wall and down to the ground. She grabbed my face in her hands and said firmly "Pilot stop it"
"Fuck you" I snarled. She pointed a finger in my face and I stared cross-eyed at it and she snapped "Knock it off" I gritted my teeth and glared at her, she glared at me.
"Pull yourself together and get in there and you go back to sleep. Got it?" Lily said, yanking me to my feet. I glared down at her, yanked my arm out of her grasp and pushed my way through Jade, Erik and Aaron, I went over to my sleeping bag and burrowed into it. Blocking out this world and the people in it, blocking everything out.
I let myself fall back into my own world, dreaming of the few good things in it.
