Yay long chapter!
Sorry for the late chapter. I've been a bit busy. I'll try to post chapters at least once a week. This chapter's theme song is: Zedd - Spectrum ft. Matthew Koma
Oh wait shouldn't I write the chapter before choosing a song? Anyways, I chose Spectrum because of Free trying to stop feeling something for Jake (Breathing you in when I want you out). I really hope this bold text shows up when I publish this. I'm still new to . Enjoy the chapter!
"No. Just no." Mikayla said. "There is no way I am walking in the winter cold. Especially at night."
"Just get out." Sam said with obvious annoyance. Everyone got out except Sam. Jake kissed me on the cheek. I couldn't stop him. I blushed like crazy. Sam was staring his jaw to the floor. He got out of the car shutting the door behind him.
"Gotta mark my territory, you know." Jake said. He sees me as property? "I mean he was getting too attached to you."
"He's my best friend." I said.
"Look, I'm sorry. It's just I don't want you taken away from me." He said with a slight smile. He's lying.
"I understand." No I don't. He gave me a nice tight hug. I felt his hand on me. I suddenly forgot all my anger.
I heard loud voices outside of the truck. I held Jake's hand.
"WILL YOU JUST GROW UP?" Sam was yelling at Mikayla.
"YOU GROW UP! I'M SORRY I'M BEING ME!" Mikayla was saying. Do those two ever stop fighting? Carly and George were trying to act as the peace makers. Winston was just saying 'yeah' after everything Mikayla said.
"IT'S NOT EVEN THAT COLD!"
"WELL I DON'T CARE. I STILL DON'T WANT TO BE SICK. AND I'M NOT WEARING SOMETHING HEAVY."
"YES YOU ARE! THAT COAT HAS FUR ON THE INSIDE!"
"THANKS ! THIS FUR IS TOTALLY KEEPING ME WARM!"
"You guys are seriously fighting about the weather? I think both of you should grow up." I said. They both went quiet.
"We need to get a move on. I contacted Ruby and Kendra. They're going to come get the truck. We need to get to the Lion headquarters right now. We're running out of time." Jake said.
"Me and George can't be seen there. They'll surely recognize us." Carly said.
"Yes. Here's the plan. In Lion, Carly and George will stay away from the headquarters because they could be recognized. The rest of us will go in and stall or get the information. In Sharp, Mikayla and Winston will stay away while the rest of us do the same we did in Lion. Then we'll all go to the government headquarters and see what we can get from there." Jake smiled. "Everyone understand?"
"Can we have a break now?" Mikayla whined.
"Is everyone out of breath yet?" Jake was panting. Everyone nodded. "Then let's lay down. Sam, did you get the blankets from the back of the truck?" I felt a pang of guilt when I heard Sam's name.
"Yeah. Did you think I wouldn't? Did you think I'd forget? Did you think I'd run out of time?" Sam asked angrily.
"Calm down. You're always angry these days." Jake said with his hands up in the air.
"Well, you're a control freak! I'm gonna take charge of Sam's mission. Hope he doesn't mind me being the leader!" Sam said mimicking Jake's voice.
"Fine! You don't want me in this with you, then Mikayla, Winston and I will go. They are the people I invited, anyway." Jake said furiously.
"Go ahead! I don't need you!"
"I know the leaders suggested you take me with you because they think you'll be safer with me. This isn't my first mission, you know."
"I chose you because I thought you'd be a good helper, not leader. Now take your girlfriend-"
"Girlfriend? Free? Really? Did she trick you in to it?" Mikayla snickered.
"No. I'd say I tricked her in to it." Jake smiled.
"How about you let her answer the question?" Mikayla said.
"Sure. I can't get someone to like me so I trick them in to it." I said sarcastically.
"See? She even admits it!" Carly laughed. "You guys are so cute!"
I felt myself blush. I didn't realize what I was doing until Jake's hand was in mine.
"Thanks. Anyone come near him and I'll release my inner Dauntless." I smiled. Maybe I do love Jake. Maybe I can't live without him. Maybe I plan to marry him someday. No. Just no.
"Lay the blankets please, Sam." Jake said. He hadn't let go of my hand. I hope my hand doesn't sweat.
Everyone was asleep. We all had 2 blankets and 1 pillow. One blanket was too put beneath us and the other was to cover ourselves with. Everyone seemed to be able to sleep except me. I stared at the cloudy sky.
"Free?" Jake whispered. "You awake?"
"Yeah." I said.
"Can't sleep?"
I nodded. "Just isn't coming to me."
"I love you." He said extending a hand to me. I grabbed it.
"I love you too." I said though I still am not sure I really do.
Aww! It's official! How can Free not be sure? He's the perfect guy! Anyways, I realize I haven't exactly been good at describing how the characters look. I think I'll leave it to your imagination. Just know that Ruby is a red head. Yeah bye. Love ya! Thanks for so many views!
