Chapter 10 - Toilet Seats Might Just Be What We Need

Scarly's pov:

About one hour had passed since we boarded this creepy train which seemed like it would fall apart any moment. Aura and Arsen were both asleep in their seats, Arsen's head bumping against the window every time the train moved a little. Flo, Zach and Andy had gone out of our compartment to god knows where. I too, was about to drift off when something inside Andy's jacket pocket flashed brightly. I reached out and grabbed the small object which was sticking out of the pocket. It was a small silver lighter. It looked familiar but I didn't think much of it at first. It was probably a common design as he had found it in a small roadside store. I flipped the cold metal object in my hand and went to place it back inside his jacket when something else caught my eye. Two letters were carved on this side of the lighter, along with a small intricate pattern. The pattern too was recognizable and I wracked my brain to remember where I had seen this before.

It took me some time but it finally came to me. Aura had the same design on her lighter along with her initials on her lighter which, now that I think of it, looked exactly like this one. This was back when both Aura and Andy used to smoke. They had gotten matching lighters and Aura had said something about 'personalizing' them. I looked at the engraved letters again, 'AK', Andy's initials. Why was he carrying this around with him? It could be that he carried it with him as a momento, but that wouldn't explain why he lied about getting it from a shop. This only meant he had started smoking again, and Aura covered for him which means she knew. Of Course she knew! They know everything about each other.

Why didn't she tell me? Goddammit Aurora! My ignorance has struck again! How could I not see this? Oh Anderson....You are about to get it. I sat back in my seat and tossed the small lighter in my hand, waiting for him to come back.

Andy's pov:

"Do you guys have anything useful?" Zach asked Dan, for the hundredth time.

"We... Oh oh our toilet seats are usable!"

I let out a tired sigh. Flo, Zach and I have been trying to find some food and some basic toiletries. Turns out that the only food they have here are some sloppy bread loaf that expired months ago and Dan being the disgusting dumbass he is, tried to sell each piece for 5 dollars . Don't get me started on their bathrooms. On top of that, Zach and Flo's constant bickering made me want to tear my ears away. They have so much pent up sexual tension that it honestly makes me want to lock them up in a room until they figure shit out.

I was aggravated and I needed to get away from here.

"I'll be right back." I mumbled to Zach. I needed a good smoke. I found a small empty compartment and quickly went in. I took my stash of cigarettes out and fished into my pocket for the lighter. When I withdrew my empty hand, I went out to make a small stop to our temporary compartment because I left the lighter in my jacket. Humming,I started my way towards the chamber.

The compartment was eerily quite but that didn't bother me cause the only thing in my mind at the moment was the craving for a puff of a cigar. I went in. Aura and Andy were asleep and Scarly was staring out the window, holding something shiny in her hands. I have to thank Aura later for covering for me,even though she'll definitely give me an earful.

"Hey..." I said with a nod.

"Hi...Wassup?"

"Nothing just uh searching for something." I say as I reach into the pocket of my black jacket, only to bring out my empty hand from my pocket for the second time today. Ugh shit! Where did I last keep it? I frown wondering if I somehow dropped it.

"You mean this?" Scarly asks, holding my lighter in her hands.

"How did you find that?" I blurted out.

"Why do you have it?" she asked.

"Well I brought it from that store." I lied.

"Oh yeah sure and the store just happened to have one with the same design you and Aura customised, and with your initials too. Don't you get smart with me Kyle!" she whisper yelled.

"I can expl-"

"No don't bullshit me. You and I... We have got to talk. C'mon let's go." She says, harshly pulling me away.

Oh well.... There goes my peaceful smoking time...

She takes me back to the small compartment I found earlier.Oh the irony. Scarly snapped her fingers rather loudly in front of my face.She looked mad,very mad. Scarly's mad side is one I wouldn't be on. She's the scariest person alive when she's mad. I think the way her eyes went red and how white her knuckles turned in her fist proved that.

"How could you?"

"I...Listen I-"

"Listen?! Listen to what exactly? Your made up lies? Or you lame excuses? You promised,Anderson.I- I can't believe you did this. After all that? Could you tell me where you got the nerves? What the hell were you thinking? You of all people should know where exactly this will lead to. Heck you went through it once. Which part was so satisfying that you thought it was okay to start again ? " she went rambling and empathizing every word with a gesture of her hand.

" Calm down,Scarly. It's not that big of a deal. Stop being so dramatic."I told her,rolling my eyes.

"Calm down? You are telling me to calm down? And I'm being dramatic?" she asked me in disbelief.

" You kind of ar-" and ladies and gentleman,for the second time today,she cut me off.

" Did you not get enough? Did you not see what happened? Or do you want more huh? Honestly,I thought after all that,you would have stopped but who am I kidding? I just set my expectations high. I mean once an addict,always an addict right? " she finished with a scoff.

That was it. That was all she needed to say to drive me mad. Even though I knew she didn't mean it,I snapped.

" Do not call me that."I said,gritting my teeth,"You think it was easy for me? With everything that's happened in the past six months,we both know we would be lying if we said it was alright. You think I wanted to do this? Do you know how hard it is? What the fuck Scarly? I thought you of all people would understand. You think I like it? I needed a distraction. Distraction from all the things that's been going on. I needed an escape.This way was the only one. It's one of the only things that's keeping me sane right now. If you can't deal with it then just fuck off. Who told you to care so much anyways? Huh? Why do you care? It's none of your business. So leave me the fuck alone."

" I just-"

But I wasn't done. "Where were you when I was struggling? Were you there? No. So why,why do you suddenly start caring? You don't have to pretend to care about me you know.I'm so sick of the pity people show me. Like I hate it when they say sorry even if it's not their fault because sorry doesn't change anything. The fake pity and worry...heh they treat me as if I'm pathetic and I maybe be but....nevermind if you really care about me then please don't. Its okay really.I'm fine.So now you can just-"

"I never should have cared," she says,cutting me off,again. "But I did care. I cared a lot. And I still fucking do. So get that through your head and stop trying to deny it. Be a man or whatever and accept it." she finished,shoving past me.

When she left,I was more pissed than ever. Maybe it was because of the fact that a part of me knew she was right. I was mad at her for being so right. Or because I knew I didn't deserve all their care. Or yet it might have been because I made her think that she should have never cared. Or it might have been because I gripped my cigarette so tightly that it was now crushed.I didn't really know why, but I was fuming.





Okay this chapter's a little short and its not edited. We'll edit it later on when our procrastinating asses actually find the inspo to work. This chapter contains one of the boy's pov and we tried hard (maybe) to write what he would have said. We're very sorry if it turned out any other way than what you expected. Please vote and comment. So that's all and hoped you enjoyed it.
Have a good night/day! Thanks for all your love and support.
We love you all.
