First thing... SOOOOO SORRY about the long wait! My computer crashed and I had to send it in to get fixed and my ipod wasn't letting me log in :( but I'm back now. Yay! Secondly... this is a short chapter that I actually wrote out by hand while the comp was broken. I wasn't really in the mood for adding more. I was going to add in Matt and Connor's point of views and what happens to them but my muse wasn't really helping with that so it's only between Becker and Jess. Oh and Thirdly... YAY PRIMEVAL COMES BACK IN 4 DAYS! JUST 4 MORE DAYS! Anyway... Don't own anything except the plot and a few minor characters Here's the long overdue chapter 35:
Enjoy :D
Jess leaned against one of the walls watching Becker pace back and forth in front of the glass window. They'd only been waiting in the room for twenty minutes and he was already fidgeting. He had gone from leaning against the wall beside Jess, to looking over the brace and now he was pacing.
Jess' eyes narrowed as she counted how many times he walked past the hole in the glass. Fifty eight she thought. Fifty nine... sixty... sixty one...
"Would you just sit down or something? The sound of your boots is giving me a headache." she said quietly, massaging her forehead.
Becker stopped moving and glanced at her. "Will you explain why we're still here? Maybe if you could explain that, I'll stop pacing! God we could be up on the roof by now but your instincts are telling you its bad..." he growled.
Jess pushed herself away from the wall and glared at him. "I just know Becker! The last couple of times my intincts have been right, but you being a stubborn ass, refuse to acknowledge that! Why can't you just trust me for once in your pathetic life?"
"Stop getting yourself into 'life or death' situations! Maybe then I'll start trusting your judgements!" he growled. He instantly regretted saying that but his face didn't show any signs of it.
Jess rolled her eyes. "Finally the truth comes out! So it's my fault now! My fault everything is going wrong! So when something really is your fault Becker, you blame other people for your mistakes, but when it's not you get all depressed and guilty!" She growled.
"This is your fault Jess! You're the reason we're here! You're the reason why we had to come to this hellhole! It's all your fault!"
Jess froze suddenly, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. What Becker said had stung. She knew it was her fault in a way but if Becker had listened to her in the parking lot none of this would have happened. Then again they wouldn't have know that Helen was behind all of this.
Jess could feel the tears stinging her eyes but she fought to hold them back. She took a deep breath to steady herself and sighed "If you're so sure that staying here is wrong Becker, I won't stop you from leaving. But if you do leave, don't expect me to come running to save you when you get attacked by those creatures." She found it easier to say those words than she thought she would. And she was strangely calm while saying them.
She didn't want him to leave. And even though she said she wouldn't, Jess would gladly go running to save him. She'd never leave Becker without backup, even if she was his only backup.
Becker glanced at the glass then back at Jess, hestitating. "I'm not-"
"Leave..." her emotions made her voice sound weak.
"Jess, if-"
"Becker just leave!" she yelled.
