The Day That Wasn't

As Luther drove back to the academy with the rest of the Hargreeves boys in tow you couldn't help but read the note you had found over and over again. The words themself were sweet but they hurt your heart. You were tired of Five coming back and leaving and coming back and leaving. You knew he was doing stuff to stop the apocalypse but it angered you how he could walk out so easily like you and his siblings were just strangers passing by in his life. But more so, it worried you that he wouldn't come back again. He's had people on his tail since the day he returned. You yourself witnessed that at Griddy's, and it worried you now that he left again that it might be the last you saw of him. You just wished that he would tell you everything and include you in what he was doing like he used to. He still viewed you as his best friend, and he told you the apocalypse was going to happen, so what reason did he have in not letting you tag along to help him stop this mess? It's not like you were powerless, your powers were even more versatile and volatile than his. 

You felt like a fool for thinking things would go back to the way they were before and didn't know whether to cry or scream from the frustration you felt. You hated that you felt this way but you knew why you did. You loved him, and all you could ever want is to be by his side. You balled up the note and held it tight in your hand. Quietly you stared out the window as the landscape changed from open fields to suburbs and back to the city you called home. And as you returned to the academy you quickly rushed upstairs to your room and isolated yourself. Instead of dealing with the negative feelings you were experiencing, you decided to ignore them and go to sleep.

The next morning when you awoke you didn't really feel any better. You were restless the night before between bouts of tears, anger, and most importantly, worry. As you got up and walked about the house your feelings of hurt only increased because Five wasn't back. Typically, he was gone for the day but he was back by the night, and yet there was no Five. Unable to change the circumstances and defeated by the situation you walked into the parlor to find Luther, Allison, Diego, and Klaus sitting in the area around the bar. Seeing you enter the parlor Diego greeted,

"Hey kiddo, good morning."

"Morning, how's your arm doing?" You asked

"Good. You know me, I'll be fine." He replied

The other three look towards you as you walk over and sit down next to Diego on the couch. Sitting yourself down you said,

"Morning everyone. What chaos are we planning on getting into today?"

"The world is ending in three days," Luther replied bluntly

"Ah. That chaos," you responded

"Three days?" Allison questioned handing out coffees to the rest of her siblings

"That's what Five said." Luther answered

"The old bastard did mention the apocalypse, come to think of it. He just left out the part about how soon." Klaus says sitting on the floor

"But can we trust him? I don't know if you've noticed, but Five's a little..." She states while making the crazy signal with her hand

"Our little psycho," Klaus adds

"He was pretty convincing. If he wasn't trying to stop an apocalypse, those lunatics wouldn't be chasing him." Luther elaborates

"That's why they were after him?" Diego questions

"Yeah. They've been after him since the night he got back," You add

"What did Five even see?" Allison asks

Luther pauses for a second as he looks at all of you and all of you look back to listen to him.

"Uh... Apparently, we all fought together against whoever was responsible... " Luther trails off
