Eternally Yours
Chapter Seventeen
„It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I, catch fire then I change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates" – Burning Pile – Mother Mother
Disclaimer: I do not own Resident Evil, neither the song. I've just drank a can of Monster so I have power to write. I've been so sleepy these days to be honest.
Everyone was left in shock. This wasn't what they have been expecting. This was sure of an unexpected turn above all of these events.
„Speechless?" Jill laughed.
„Pretty sure…" Chris muttered.
„You shouldn't be. If I say so myself." Jill sighed. „We're all growing up."
„I know but you haven't said a thing before. Not even about dating." Chris said.
„I know, my bad." Jill sighed. „But hey, you're having a child soon. I'm getting married. What's next?" Jill asked.
„Dunno." Claire sighed.
This needs to be talked out, immediatly! Red line is what they felt. More to be scared than happy. As soon as they changed the topic about Jill's engagement, the Redfields left the table and went outside to the smoking area.
„This really needs a damn smoke." Chris sighed.
„Just wait until Leon gets out, I shouldn't even be here." Claire sighed.
„Sorry, I almost forgot about it. I'm such a loser nowadays." Chris said.
„No, it's okay. We haven't got used to this situation at all." Claire smiled.
„When will we ever get used to this?" Chris asked. „Still cannot believe it that in seven month our life will change."
„Cannot believe it either, but somehow we gotta keep our head straight up." Claire said.
„Here you are guys." Leon said as he walked towards them. „Something happened?"
„Something new to discuss." Chris said. „Jill got engaged and it's crazy."
„So quick." Leon laughed. „Saw Ada around so it's going to be pretty crazy afterwards."
„The only damn thing I was missing tonight was that woman." Chris sighed. „Okay this needs two cigarettes. Leon, take her inside. I don't want her lungs to be more dark."
„Got it." Leon said. „Don't be out so late."
Leon and Claire walked inside. This was hard for Chris to take. His head, was all in a confusion. Like he was sad about everything what just happened. Maybe the old times what he spent, was the one what he missed. Finally he was able to light up his cigarette, to take away his thoughts.
„Thought you stopped smoking, because of your pregnant girlfriend." Wesker's cold voice spoke up, as he stepped closer to Wesker.
„Say for yourself, you stepped over so quick." Chris sighed as he continued to smoke his cigarette.
„What do you mean?" Wesker asked.
„Saw you and Jill." Chris answered. „And now she's engaged. The fuck is happening Wesker?"
„Nothing of your business, Chris." Wesker sighed. „That's what happens."
„Not even a month ago you made Claire drop out of high school because you were so fucking in love with me, now you just ask for Jill's hand because why not?" Chris laughed. „You're out of your mind."
„I could say every little shit about you and your little girlfriend out to the public, but I keep my mouth shut, as you should too." Wesker said. „And this was the last warning, before I could actually do it."
Then Wesker walked away. Leaving Chris speechless, again. As he always did this to him, because it was so hella wrong about it. He had those damn flashbacks about their breaking up, where he throwed everything against him, and it was a really damn bad idea to think about it again. He lighted up his second cigarette, then tried to watch the dark sky, with the stars…
However Leon and Claire pretty much were bored. Sicne Claire couldn't drink any alcohol, neither do anything harmful, everything was boring for her. And she really missed those times when she could drink so many alcohol and have fun.
„It's boring." Claire sighed. „I miss my party ages."
„I know." Leon laughed. „But don't worry, it will be back soon."
„I don't know, Leon." Claire sighed. „I won't be able to party that much after my baby will be born. But I would love to, to be honest."
„You're still young, we will plan it out." Leon smiled.
„Hoping for it to be honest." Claire sighed.
„Why are you guys being so sad?" Jill asked as she walked towards them.
„Nothing much." Leon said.
„Claire to be honest, we don't know eachother for so long but I'm hoping in that, you will be around me, helping with all of these stuff." Jill said.
„What do you mean?" Claire asked.
„Well, we could make a strong friendship during planning my wedding." Jill explained. „Hope you're into it."
„Kind of you. Really. What made you say this?" Claire asked.
„Mainly because I know you're all day home, being bored. And want to be friends with you." Jill said.
„I wanna be friends with you too, Jill. Everyone seems nice and kind around here, but haven't got time to know everyone." Claire said.
„You will have time, and don't worry, I work less than Chris, so we will hang out soo much!" Jill said, as she cheered a bit about it.
Claire felt a little scared about it, but she was really hoping in the truth. That this isn't in the plan. And Jill doesn't know a thing about it.
„I will be back later." Leon said, then he sent Claire a text about trying to sneak into Wesker's office. he wasn't really into this girly thing, and he thought it's in the new version of the plan.
„Finally." Jill sighed. „I know how bad Chris feels about Leon."
„He told you?" Claire asked.
„Yeah." Jill nodded. „He always talks about you, and how mad he was when Leon admitted his feelings for you. I don't like it when a man gets to be stopped but still continues to hit on."
„Nothing to worry about. We're just friends, because as you said, and know, I'm always alone at home, se he comes sometimes and helps me around. Nothing more." Claire explained.
„I don't have a word to say to it, so if you're safe, then you are." Jill smiled.
Not much later, Chris came back from the smoking area, then found the two girl talking. He was happy about Claire making a new friend. She was pretty lonely during these times.
Everything was alright about these nights, but Leon pretty sure found something new about the plan. And that was the Valentine's Act. Which kindda made Leon feel, that all of these things around Jill, are so much made up, to the plan. But he had no choice on putting back, he heard the footsteps, so he quickly grabbed it, and ran all the way out to put it into his car. He didn't get caught.
A/N: So I'm pretty sure I'm going to be inactive for a while in writing and posting because I'm close to my real finals, and already I'm feeling so tired about everything around me. I try to stay on but I don't promise.
It's almost a month since I've said my goodbye to him. I cover everything with work. I work 3 different job currently, just not to think of him, but no. I'm not better. I always end up crying whenever I try to speak about him or to think about it. It hurts.
