Massacre

ch3 Declination

-James's pov:-

I woke up to Adrien shouting at his pc. Apparently he had already gone live.

I took a peek at his Live count. He had been live for 3 hours, how haven't I been awoken by him yet?

I tried to get some more sleep but failed even worse than describable.

After a while Adrien finally shut his stream down.

"James!" He yelled.

"What?" I said with a broken voice.

"I'm only eleven subs away from my goal!"

"Wow that's great!" I tried to put so much effort into that sentence but not much got out of it.

"Uh, thank you?"

"Geez I've been trying to sleep Adrien."

"Yeah, yeah I'm sorry." He said self-centered and typing very aggressive. "Hold on a moment, I'm going to call Enzo.

It shocked me. "No wait! W- why are you calling him?" I asked fastly before he'd actually call him but I was late.

I saw Enzo had already picked up.

"Hi, I'm sure you've heard it by now, do you wanna come camping." Said Adrien smiling bright.

I felt the doubt coming from Enzo. And knew he actually wanted to say no but felt too much sympathy for Adrien.

I saw Adrien had his camera on, Perfect! I got up and 'accidently' got in frame. I shook my head towards Enzo hoping he'd get the hint. For obvious reasons Enzo had his camera off so I wasn't one hundred procent sure rather he saw it or not.

"I, uhm I'm really sorry Adrien but I just can't make it due to my very full agenda, I wish I could"ve come but I just can't."

I heard Adrien wail really silently. "That's fine, I should've known." He said before hanging up immediately after.

I walked back into the room innocent. Man I hate lying to him, but I had to help Enzo out there."

Adrien put his face into his palms.

I grabbed his second chair and sat down next to him. "It's fine, we're going to find someone else."

"Yeah sure whatever."

"Oh come on Adrien don't let one setback be your downfall, we'll do this together, we have half an hour before I have to catch my train, that's achievable."

I saw Adrien thinking really deep until he had some kind of revelation.

He began typing in his keyboard until he found the person he was looking for until he stopped.

"What, what's wrong? Call him."

He let go of his mouse. I was done with this. I grabbed the mouse and pressed the call button.

"Hello you're speaking with jack why are you calling?"

I saw the panic in Adrien's eyes.

"Camping? With group of people." He blurted out.

I seriously couldn't believe he said that but I had to stay out of this.

"Uhm, sure? Sounds fun." Said jack.

"Great thank you!" Said Adrien before hanging up immediately. "Why'd you do that?! I wasn't ready yet."

"Only two more, time is ticking hurry up!"

He whipped his phone out of his pocket and called a second person, I saw the profile picture of a fox. Obviously it was Elijah, something about Elijah and foxes amazed.

"Hi! I'm going on a camp soon with some people, do you wanna come?"

It went silent for a moment.

"Uhuh, gotcha."

I was very confused.

"That's great!" He nodded his head. "Alright that's fine, see you!" He put his phone down.

"What was that about?" I asked maybe a tad too curious.

"It was Elijah, he can come too."

"That's great, but I really have to go. Can't miss this train." I stood up from the chair. "I'm counting on you to bring everything to the camp terrain I'll bring the tents though."

"That's fine, I'll bring everything that's necessary." He said smiling from his stool.

He stood up and walked me out, he was so nice, I'm so glad I'm able to call him my friend.

-Tommy's pov:-

As I walked James out I had gotten the idea for who to invite last.

I closed the door behind James and got comfy behind my computer.

I pressed the call button for what could be the final time.

Before having to talk I took a quick look at my sub counter. Only six more subs.

"Hi?" I heard. "What are you calling for?"

"Hi Esper, I called to ask if you'd like to camping with me and some others."

"Yes!" He said confident.

"Well that was easy." I said laughing.

"Yeah I'm in, I'm available anytime so just let me know."

"Will do." I said.

"Okey, then seen you soon."

"See you soon." I said hanging up.

Okey, now for the hard part the actual planning.

Six subs, that'll be done in two days right? Yes, yes of course that'll be done by then.

I asked person for person if they'd be available the day after tomorrow.

I put my ringtone on the highest level possible so I'd hear any message coming through.

Quickly I had in mind to bring all the needs to the car so I wouldn't have to do that later anymore.

I got myself out of my chair and put most drinks, food and one of the gas bottles in a box and got out of my appartement.

I pushed the elevator button and waited patiently for it to arrive.

When it did I found an old lady in it.

I stood next to her and greeted her. From that moment on it was horribly awkward, but that's a standard I guess.

When the elevator had finally reached the ground floor I slipped through the halfway opened door and looked for my car on the parking lot, I may or may not have forgotten where I placed it last time.

When I found it I put the first box in the trunk. Only like two or three more to go.

Only then a question had gotten to me. How are we going to arrange this with transport? Only five people can fit in my car.

I quickly gave James a call.

"Hello? Are you there?" I asked.

"Yes, Adrien I'm here." He said with not too much energy.

"How are we going to transport everyone there? I mean only five people can fit in my car."

"Well seven people can fit in mine so I'll make sure I'll be at your house before everyone else is. That way we'll have everyone there with only two cars, got it?"

"Yes thank you."

Whilst talking on the phone I had walked back to the elevator.

"Something else?" Asked James to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything.

"No, no I don't think so thank you." I said politely.

"No problem Adrien, make sure to call me when something else is wrong okey."

"I will, thank you. See you soon."

"Bye Adrien."

He hung up.

I had reached my appartement again, time fore the next box.

Meanwhile I had already received eight confirmed people that would be able to make it the day after tomorrow, with James and me counted in though.

I'll see how it'll turn out later, I'll see.
