All Good things

Most people in Colony house were setting up for the party that was taking place that night. It was to celebrate Fatima. She had been in the town for a year. Although everyone was excited for the girl Ellis and Y/N could only really think about the deaths. This caused Ellis to try and drown his sorrows in alcohol and Y/N to mainly stay in her room.

-----

Julie, Fatima and Noah were all in their room while Fatima was looking for something under her bed, Julie was talking to her and Noah was again reading, not knowing what else to do. "I don't know, it seems kinda weird to celebrate the day you got stuck here." Julie comments

"You're looking at this the wrong way. It's about celebrating survival. It reminds everyone that it's possible. Besides, it's nice having a little party once in a while." she comments, still looking under her bed as she takes out boxes and things.

"Okay, what are you looking for?" Julie asks, standing up.

"I'm not looking, I'm digging." Fatima corrects, "A-ha, here it is." she says bringing out a bag. She then opens the bag, "it's my secret stash." she brings out a bright yellow sweater, "Trudy loves this sweater. It's the one thing I own that I don't let her get her hands on. Besides, it's Ellis' favourite." she says putting it on. Noah looks up from his book to catch his sister's sad expression. He stands up and puts an arm around her shoulder and looks at Fatima. "Noah, I swear. If you say 'it's a sweater', I will hurt you." Fatima says sternly, looking at the boy.

He looks at her for a second and shrugs with an innocent look, "okay. It's a yellow sweater." he says while laughing. Fatima smiles for a second and chucks one of Ellis' paintbrushes at him as the trio all laugh at this.

Julie looks at Fatima with a smile and Fatima catches, "what?" she asks

"You just... you make this place seem almost normal." she explains, "you're really special."

"Don't be silly. We're all really special. Even Trudy." Noah chuckles at this.

"That's something a really special person would say." Julie smiles

Ellis walks into the room. "There's my girls," he says, Noah coughs at this looking at him, "and Noah." Ellis corrects, "anyone up for a little pregame?" he asks

"Baby, the party hasn't even started yet." Fatima replies

"I know, I know. That's why they call it a pregame." he justifies, happily. The siblings chuckle at this. Ellis looks at Fatima's expression, "what?" he asks

"Nothing, just go easy. Okay?" she asks, softly.

"I know, I know, I know." he then turns to the younger Mathews sister, "uh, Julie?"

Julie looks at Fatima for a second, "uh, I'm good, thanks." she mutters.

"I'm down." Noah says moving to Ellis. He takes a sip of the flask as Ellis cheers for the boy. He looks at his sister's confused face for a moment, "come on. I was a popular kid. You think this is my first party?" he questions.

"That's my man" Ellis then turns to the girls, "you guys suck." he says jokingly and then leaves the room. "Viktor! Viktor! Where are you at man? Let's get this party started."

"Is he okay?" Julie asks Fatima

"Nights like this are just a little tough on him. As much as you celebrate the people who make it you also remember the ones who didn't." she explains, she then looks at Noah. "You also might not see her tonight. You know, it's a lot of people and all the past deaths and stuff," she says to him, "I mean you might, she has been getting a little better, but just. Don't get your hopes up." she explains receiving a sad nod. Fatima then hands a piece of clothing to Julie, "here, you should wear this. It'll look really cute." Julie looks at Fatima with a smile and makes the clothing from her, then moves to put it on.
