I head towards my room to change. The suit I'm wearing is way to big for me. But when I come up, I find five's door halfly open.

I hestitate for one moment, evaluate if this is the right moment to talk to him, but I'll have to do it soon and my heart craves for him. Hestitating, I stop before his door, wondering if I should know, lifting my hand again and again just to let it fall to my side every time.

When I wonder if I should just go away, his voice comes from insode the room.

"Do you want something specific?"

My heart begins to beat faster and I have to swallow. The coldness of his voice is so unknown to me.

"I just ... I just wanted to talk to you," I say. "Can I, you know, come in?"

"If you want to see me half naked..."

Even though I already did see him shirtless, I wait a few seconds until I open the door carefully.

"Hey five"

"Eight," is everything he says.

Well, this won't be easy, appereantly. He's dressed in one of his uniforms again, hands in the pockets. Standing in front of his window, he glares at me coldly.

"So, what do you want to talk about? The years you were gone? The fact that you lied to me, stole from me, left me-"

"In fact, the brief case wasn't yours, it was from the comission," I contradict.

He scoffes. "I was a part of the comission"

"Until you left, too," I remember him.

"Well, I didn't let my wife behind," he hisses angrily.

Well, that may be a point.

"My first love is my freedom, you should know that," I answer.

"Do I have to be jealous?" he asks bitterly, not looking me in the eye.

"Maybe," I say shrugging. "I'd like it"

"Then I won't"

His gaze is unmistakable, he doesn't want me here and I also think it's time for me to go. Without another word from neither of us, I turn around and head toards the door. But when i open it, I stop for a second, not turning around but speaking loudly enough for him to hear it.

"You should just know that I've had enough of apocalypses in this  life. If we- if we fail, i promise you won't have to live through it with me again"

And with that words, I go, closing the door softly behind me. Back in the hallway, I lean against the wall. A part of me wants to go back into the room, to him. Another part only wants to do what I do the most: running away.

But not this time.

Even if he'll never forgive me, I am able to help my siblings as good as I can. Allthough I'm not a teamplayer. Delores, Five and me, that is the biggsest group I could ever handle.
