He struggles to speak, but I shush him. “I won’t forget you, 3. Tell 6 I said goodbye, okay?”
Tears run helplessly down my face. I let Skull drag me out, to the familiar room with the chair, headphones, and big screen on the wall.
“What the fuck is happening now?”
He doesn’t respond, just puts the headphones on my head and walks to the back of the room. The lights go out. That's new. I attempt to ready myself for whatever the fuck this is.
The screen comes on, the boys standing in their apartment.
“She’s perfect,” Ghost says.
“Bro... She's my dream girl.” Trikk.
Ghost replies, “She’s beautiful, funny, smart...”
Trikk says, “Those eyes...”
I steel my spine. It just continues.
“I love her black curls.” Ghost.
“Her glasses are adorable.” Trikk.
“Her mini-Goth is also precious.” Ghost again.
I get a sour taste in my mouth. What the fuck? It sounds like they’re describing...
Synn comes on screen, with Razor.
“Valley... she’s the one.” Synn.
“She is ours. I will have her.” Razor.
“How do we get to her, though?” Synn.
Razor grins. “Her new bestie, of course!”
Synn frowns. “That Phoenyxx girl?” He shudders. “Gross, man. But it may work.”
The screen goes dark. I’m shaking, head spinning. What the hell is this? There's no way it’s what it sounds like!
The screen comes back on. Purge and... Hunter.
“You really care for her?” Hunter asks Purge. Purge nods his head.
“I’m in love with her. Valley is it for me.” Hunter nods.
“Though I shouldn’t, I feel for her, also. I want her. Need her.”
Darkness again. I feel myself starting to mentally retreat. There's no way, no way this is...
The screen shows Valley again. She's laughing and smiling, batting her eyes at someone. Instead of Bryan, she’s looking at Trikk!
“I think I love you,” he breathes out, on a rush. She giggles.
“Are you going to kiss me now?”
The screen changes again. The sounds of moans and groans fill my ears. There’s a fuzzy image on the screen. It's people in bed, clearly having sex.
