Our Home
A/N
Sorry that I introduce a lot of characters, but the picture above is how I imagine Beth. Thanks! Bye for now!
Once everyone in our group has showered and gotten into clean clothes, the same small girl comes back. She still has the bright smile on her face.
"Welcome to The Serene. We have a tour ready of all the houses so you all can choose your house. JC has informed me that you all have first pick and don't have to pay, which is very rare and lucky for you all. So, feel free to pick whatever house you wish. Follow me please." She says happily. I stop her before she starts walking with my hand on her shoulder lightly.
"What's your name by the way?" I ask politely. The girls face fills with shock, I guess they just kidnap you and don't care about anyone enough to ask. That's not right.
"I'm Beth, you're Violet, right?" She asks, putting back on her smile.
"Yeah, and nice to meet you Beth." I smile back at her. Beth then leads us down a hallway and outside, I've gotten used to the sun on my skin.
"These are the luxury homes, they usually can hold 5-8 people. Would you like yo take a look?" She asks, turning back to the group, glancing around at us.
"Sure." Bob answers with a small smile. Beth nods and leads us inside a nearby home. I gasp at how big and clean it is. I haven't seen a clean home since the apocalypse happened, let alone a home this nice and big. Beth leads us around the home, explaining different features it has, she does this with a few homes until there are no more homes to view.
"So, do you have any questions or a final decision?" Beth asks kindly. I look at Jack and then back at Beth.
"I think I have my decision, I don't know about them though." I say with a small smile.
"Okay, which home would you like?" Beth asks kindly as she grabs a price of paper from an envelope and hands it to me. It has printed pictures of each house on it. I scan each home until I find the one I wanted and point to it.
"That one." I say handing the paper back to Beth. She looks at the page and nods at my choice.
"Alright. I'll make sure that JC knows. Does anyone else have a decision?" Beth asks. I look over at Jack, as if to ask 'are you coming with me or is Mark?' Jack nods and walks next to me as if he knew exactly what I was thinking.
"I'll be with her." Jack informs Beth with a small smile. Mark suddenly appears next to me and looks down at Beth.
"I think we're all gonna stay together for tonight, unless they don't want to." Mark says glancing at the rest of the group.
"I'll have my own house, thanks for the offer though." Aaron says grabbing the paper to make his choice. Beth nods at Aarons choice and leads the rest of us to our home. Beth hands me the key when she opens the door.
"That's the only key. I promise no one else will come inside." She whispers to me. I smile at her, taking the key happily.
"Thank you, goodnight." I answer as I walk inside the home. Beth nods and walks away from the home, probably to her own. I lay on the couch in the living room to relax from the long day.
"Now, the question is, where the fuck did that asshole put my crossbow?" I sigh, closing my eyes to relax in this new home. I feel someone lift my legs and sit under them when placing them on top of their lap. I open my eyes and look up to see Mark sitting at the end of the couch.
"Hi Mr. Home Sharer." I laugh as I close my eyes once more. Mark laughs lightly and rubs my leg lightly.
"I promised to keep you safe. How am I supposed to do that if I'm in a completely different house? Plus, you took the house I wanted." Mark chuckles.
"I doubt that, but okay. But why did you invite everyone to the house? I think we both know why you really wanted to live with me." I chuckle.
"You may or may not be right. And I was being nice, trying not to seem weird around your boyfriend. Or am I your boyfriend? I'm really confused about you're relationships."
"I haven't decided, I also didn't tell Jack all of the details when we were trapped. So don't go telling him, it might ruin my decisions."
"Ha! You mean, he doesn't even know that we banged in that car? I thought I was gonna get smacked when he told me he knew what happened. I thought he was pretty calm, but you didn't tell him? That's great. If you choose him, you should tell him." I stay silent for a while after Mark says that. I didn't think about that, I don't want to be awkward or dishonest with either of them, but... I don't know who to choose.
"You are such a bitch, not even telling him." Kate pipes up. I try to ignore her and not respond.
"You know that right? He will find out, and when he does, he will be so mad you didn't tell him. But that's classic Violet, hiding things from everyone." Kate continues. I sigh angrily as a response, not wanting to get involved in her ranting.
"I'm confused too. Ever since then it's been so weird, because my life was on pause with Jack and going forward with you. Then suddenly both worlds collided and I can't choose between you." I sigh in frustration.
"I know, it isn't right for us to decide. You seem like you're with Jack, at least he thinks so. I can tell that you love him more, you don't have to say it. I'm gone if you want." Mark lifts my legs and gets off the couch. I sit up quickly and jump off the couch to follow him.
"I don't want you gone, and I love you both equally." I say as I pull Marks sleeve towards me. Mark spins around to face me, doubt in his face.
"Prove it." He says quietly. I glance around the room to make sure we are alone and kiss Marks lips roughly. Mark cups my face and puts his hand on my waist. I wrap an arm around Marks neck to pull him closer and then release when I think my point is made. Mark looks at me, shock obvious on his face.
"Is that good enough for you?" I ask with a smirk.
"Yeah, you need to choose. Soon. I won't make you cheat on Jack for me. Tell me in the morning." Mark takes his hands off me and walks upstairs. I stand in the living room, as if Mark was never here and we never talked. He is right, I do need to choose. I fall back on the couch and grab a blanket off the ground and put it over me. I don't fall asleep for what feels like hours of thinking. When I finally fall asleep I know who my choice is going to be.
