Year : 2021
"It's been two years"
I sang to myself, lying down on top of a car, staring up into the sky.
"Still alone, stuck in the APOCALYPSE"
I yelled, flailing my arms into the air.
"I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M YELLING, NO ONE'S EVEN AROUND TO HEAR ME... I MIGHT BE GOING INSANE!"
I yelled to myself.
I
waited, as if to hear someone yell back, but there was only silence.
I sat up, my legs swinging off the side of the rusty car.
I sighed and looked around.
"Am I losing my mind?"
I asked myself.
I laughed a little.
"Well, I'm having a conversation with myself so I guess I am."
Suddenly, a drop of water landed on the tip of my nose.
I looked up and saw dark clouds gathering in the sky above me.
I sighed as it started to rain.
"Everyone time it rains, it rains..."
I started singing to myself as I made my way back to base.
"Pennies from heaven, SHOOBY DOOBY"
I sang the entire song until I was back at base.
By now it was pouring down with rain.
It only rains about every 3 months now, so I have to catch as much as I can.
I put anything I could find out to catch the water.
Barrels, an old kitchen bowl, a lunch box and even a small glass test tube I found where Ben's room used to be tin the academy.
I held the test tube in my hand for a while before putting it down to catch water.
Ben loved to play with science and experiment on things.
But sometimes he liked to experiment on people.
Not in a weird way, kinda like in a social experiment way.

"Y/n! Don't break eye contact!"
I heard Ben say from behind me as I stared into Five's eyes.
"Why are we doing this, Ben"
Five asked, still gazing into my eyes.
"Because I waht to see how everyone react when they look into different people's eyes for a certain amount of time, starting with you two because from some previous experiments, you guys have a strange conection"
Ben replied.
"What do you mean strange conection?"
I asked.
"Well..."
Ben started.
"Siblings are supposed to love each other.
But when it comes to you two, the love between you is much MUCH stronger, almost like a romantic ... sexual lo-"
"This is Bullshit!"
I cut Ben off and walked away.
"Y/n WAIT"
Ben yelled as he ran after me.
I stopped in the hall and Ben caught up to me.
"Y/n, I didn't mean to upset you"
He said.
"I'm sorry if you didn't want anyone to know... or if it's not true at all-"
"No, no its okay"
I said, cutting Ben off again.
I looked out the window trying to hold back tears.
I sighed.
"I just... we're supposed to love each other like siblings, not like this."
Myself voice was shaky as I spoke, the words struggling to get out.
Ben nodded and looked down.
He looked back up at me as I turned to him.
"Well, that didn't stop Allison and Luther, did it?"
He was right, why am I so okay with Allison and Luther, but when it comes to me and Five It feels so wrong liking him like that.
"Okay"
I said.
Ben raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I do like him like that but I don't know if he feels the same way."
"Y/n, are you kidding me?!"
Ben looked surprised.
"Have you not noticed how Five looks at you, or talks to you or how he's so... bitchy to the rest of us but with you..."
I thought about what Ben said.
"he's always put you first, y/n. How are you so blind to his feelings for you?"
"Well... I just thought he liked me as a sister... not anything more. And if he does why has he never said anything"
"Why has who never said anything?"
We turn around and see Five standing in the doorway, leaning in the door frame with his arms crossed, one eyebrow raised.
"Five!"
I said surprised.
"Uh...we were just talking about...uh..."
"Stop trying to hide it, darling."
He said with a smirk spread across his face."
That's new, he's never called me darling before.
I panicked and said the first thing that came to my mind.
"I need to go"
Five and Ben were confused.
"What?"
"I need to go... practice shifting, sorry guys. Bye."
I ran off to my room and locked myself in.
I covered my face with my hands in frustration as I leaned against the door.
"You idiot how could you be so stupid!"

The rained stopped and I collected the water.
I heard something in the distance, a sound I haven't heard in two years, I looked up.
"Five?"
