Love Struck
Chapter 170 – Ready For The Party!?
Shadow's POV 1 Week Later
"Who am I? What am I? Where am I? How am I?" Questions people keep asking me as I hold back the...the demon within. The pain...the agony...the desperateness.
All I know is that my friends still see me as me and no one different. That's good right? They don't need too know...they don't have too know. They wouldn't care nor understand what roams in my nightmares. They can't see it...him...they can't see him.
Death.
He told me what has to be done and I agreed no matter what forces held it back in my heart...in my head.
It has to happen...I just never thought it would come to this point...this moment where it all starts...and where we end...where I end.
Raptor set it up...I mean the party and Ghost is thrilled for some relaxation. I don't see why he needs it. Why he wants it. He's had three weeks of good sleep and three weeks of recovery while I slipped by not letting it out to Marx who I know is seeing a change. The only one seeing a change...and everyone else? All they can do is watch.
"Heheh!" The first time they watch and I actually do something.
I stood here and smiled at my picture of Amy as I heard a knock on the door leading to my room.
I looked back fast and quickly pulled the tool behind my back and under my shirt as he opened the door.
"Shadow?! You ready!?" It was Raptor.
Slowly I came out and replied.
"For what?" I asked pretending to not know.
Raptor has his memory all back thanks to Marx and Alicia. He was excited as I was mad.
"Me, you, Ghost, Archer, Smoke, Marx, Silver, Dom, Carver and Hannon are all going out to celebrate!" He shouted in happiness as I asked.
"Celebrate what?"
Quickly Raptor wrapped his arm around my neck and began to take me out of the room.
"Come on Shadow! I know you didn't forget!" He stated as Archer waited with Silver outside my door all dressed and ready to go.
"Really, what?!" I asked with a smile.
Raptor and Archer both grabbed shoulders and shouted.
"It's your fucking birthday!"
Lowering my head in a chuckle I replied.
"Oh!"
"Yeah, oh! Come on, everyone else is waiting outside!" Stated Raptor as they began to take me to the entrance.
As we walked by, all the soldiers who cheered for me and my "moment" I smiled thinking that after this it might not be too bad. The guys have been trained well. I think we'll have a chance.
Raptor kicked open the door and everyone outside turned to smile in happiness.
"Come on!" Shouted Dom as I was dragged in the center of the group.
Raptor and Ghost wrapped around me like vines as to my left rested Silver, Marx, Carver and Dom. While to my right was Smoke, Hannon and Archer. This is going to be hard, but maybe I'll have fun before the night comes to a horrible close. Death better be watching.
"Where we going!?" I asked over the noise.
"Up to you Shadow! What do you want first!? Food!? Women!? Guns!? Name it and we'll go do it!" Shouted Raptor as everyone now looked over at me as I smiled under my thoughts.
"How about we go eat first?!" I offered as Raptor asked.
"Anyone object the birthday king!?"
"NO SIR!" They all shouted as we got to our Humvees.
"Then let's go eat!" Shouted Raptor as we piled in two trucks.
Raptor, Ghost, Marx, Hannon and me all got in one as Smoke, Dom, Carver, Silver and Archer got in the other.
Hitting the gas Raptor pulled into the road and the others followed close as we drove into the large city.
As we hit the main road I asked myself.
"How?"
As I tried to think of an answered Ghost hit my shoulder from in back of the Humvee.
"You feel better now to be able to pull a night like this off!?" He asked as Raptor and the rest looked at me waiting for an answer.
It's only because of Marx here I'm able to spend my birthday with all of you! I stated as Marx smiled and flew back in his seat as Raptor hit the brakes.
"Woooo!" We all shouted as Archer who drove behind us stopped barely in time.
"What the fuck about me!?" Asked Raptor as we all laughed.
"You too man, chill!" I replied as he added.
"Without me this won't be as fun and you all know it!"
"We need to get somewhere first to even have fun!" Stated Hannon as Raptor replied.
"You know what...!?" He was cut off by Archer's horn.
Immediately Raptor put his body through the open window and shouted.
"WHAT YOU WANT ASSHOLE!?"
Archer quickly replied.
"GET MOVING DICKHEAD BEFORE THE NIGHT ENDS!"
Raptor laughed loudly as I thought to myself.
"God, I have two of the biggest partiers with me for my birthday. Archer and Raptor. This is going to be fucking crazy."
Quickly Raptor got back inside and hit the gas again to continue our way to wherever he had in mind as a good place to eat for my birthday. I guess McDonald's is out of the question.
Alright I don't put four chaps in a day unless there is a big one tomorrow and guess what there is! It will take me a bit tomorrow to get all done but I promise it's party time! Raptor and Shadow style!
