Lost…?
Chapter 9: A friend in deed
By: Alasse Fefalas
Rey walked out of his room and bumped into Asuran.
"Sorry about yesterday..." Rey said quickly.
Rey continued walking but felt his hand being pulled.
"Hey... it's alright... everyone has their problems once in a while... so just lighten up, ok?" Asuran told Rey casually and let go of his hand.
"Ok..." Rey turned and smiled at Asuran, who did not see the tears that were forming in his eyes.
Asuran smiled back and continued to his destination. When Asuran had turned the corner, Rey walked back to his room where Shinn was donning his uniform. Rey sighed and leaned on the wall closest to him.
"Rey... anything wrong?" Shinn asked his best friend(?) and walked towards the blonde.
Rey looked up and faced his friend. Tears were rolling down his cheeks and dripped onto the metallic floor. Shinn didn't know what to do. All the years he known Rey, he had never seen the older pilot cry. But at times like this, whatever the case, he needed a friend. Shinn wrapped his arm around Rey and let him cry on his shoulder.
"What do I do...? I don't know what to do... Tell me... Shinn... tell me what to do..." Rey mumbled.
"Uh... why don't you sit down and tell me first... shall we?" Shinn led his companion to his bed and sat down.
Rey told the whole story to Shinn, the one he thought he could trust. Shinn's eyes widened with each sentence and when Rey had finished his story, Shinn's eyes were the size of flying saucers.
"You mean... he... what?1 That bsad! How could he! Whadda you mean between you and Chairman Dullindal...? ... I'm going..." Shinn suddenly announced.
Shinn felt him shirt being pulled and heard a loud thump behind him.
To be continued... :D
