Lightining Before The Thunder

it has seemed like forever for kylie that she had written an article. over break she was able to finish a few articles to be published while she was back on the island but she missed it. she missed writing everyday, missed researching. the girl had decided that since it was just a little too hot outside at the moment she would sit down and see if she can start writing her next article. once she started she couldn’t stop. the girl had been sitting for hours writing and writing when she heard some footsteps walking towards her. 

There were only a few reasons why Sebastian would’ve made his way over to another manor. This time it was in search of a snack. Whatever was in the Seascape pantry clearly was not sufficient enough for him. He passed the girl on his way to the kitchen, only offering a glance in her direction as he wasn’t looking to put effort into any sort of conversation at the moment.

“Everyone loves a new addition mid-season to stir the pot a bit, don’t they?” Ethan said, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his sporty looking sweatpants. Not like he actually was super sporty, but style was style. “I’m Ethan, I was just taking a look around. Sorry if I spooked you,”

“No actually,” The blond responded, already tossing a glare in the other’s direction. “It just means there’s another added layer of annoyance that I am not trying to deal with.” He added, arms crossing over his chest as spoke. “Oh..what was I supposed to be spooked?”

“okay, so there’s like absolutely nothing to do and i’m trying my best to not freak out about this whole situation so if you could just like come cuddle and just keep my mind off of everything, i would deeply appreciate it.”

“Read a book, find a puzzle, or dunk your head in the toilet. There are plenty of things you could be doing so that is going to be a hard no.”

“ i’m not trying to be DRAMATIC or anything, but, there’s not much that i WOULDN’T do to hit up waffle house right about now. i KNOW it’s super late, but, that’s when the best stuff happens. one time, i rolled into a waffle house around four in the morning, and the sweetest old lady who was the waitress found a big ass baggie of weed and JUST GAVE IT TO ME. i just don’t think she had ANY IDEA what it was. or maybe, grammy’s the plug?? we will never know. — I still want that waffle though.”

“Honestly..” Sebastian sighed, already rubbing at his temple. “I do not care...Just row yourself on the next boat out of here straight to this waffle house..or whatever it is you are rambling about.”

“so i guess with the rain and harsh winds means we can’t go outside and swim, right?” he rolled his eyes as he looked out the window. “this bites. whatever, who wants a drink?” he was grinning as his eyes scanned the living space the producers provided. “i just want to drink and maybe listen to some good as fuck music.”

“Please...be my guest.” Sebastian murmured, giving the other an eye roll. If anything that just meant there would be one less person crowding the room and that’s more than Sebastian could ask for now. “I would hope you at least have headphones...as for the drinking..good luck with that. I mean idiots are enough on their own, but drunk idiots...can’t wait.”

dalton’s eyes widened a little, but he tried to refrain them from going any bigger otherwise he’d be completely humiliated. but he had the right to be scared, what sebastian was saying sounded awfully frightening, whether he was telling the truth or not. though the brunette didn’t suspect a thing, since sebastian seemed to know so much about what he were talking about. “oh my goodness…,” he sat there with his eyebrows knitted together in deep thought. “well….surely they have some sort of procedure if that’s what may happen. surely they can get everyone off the island first? like…will they get warnings or something?” dalton chewed on his bottom lip. “i truly hate the idea of that sort of thing. just…the water, the drowning….oh dear god,”

He shouldn’t have started messing with Dalton like that. It wasn’t nice at all then again when was he trying to actually be nice? He really seemed to believe every single word that came from Sebastian’s mouth though and it really shouldn’t have been as amusing as it was. It wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t for the other’s concerned expression. “I do not know..I mean..If they really wanted to get everyone off of the Island don’t you think they would have done that first? They ought to have known what happens when it storms badly... I hope you can swim.” The blond shrugged nonchalantly, casting his gaze in the opposite direction for the added worry less affect. “Oh yes I know...It’d be terrible if this place wasn’t built correctly. One flaw, one leak, and we’d be trapped in here. Those doors wouldn’t open. I’ve not seen a window. The ceiling is pretty high though so it could take a few...minutes to fill up.”

“way to be a dick about it.” khloe shook her head as she let out a small chuckle. she knew that everyone was in a bad mood just like her. she is trying to keep what she really wants to say inside of her mind. “well it better than just standing here doing nothing.”

“What do you want to go check out the bathrooms and watch all of the toilets flush...because yes that is so entertaining.” Sebastian responded, rolling his eyes. He didn’t really see the point in any of it. “But what is your big idea then? Ha?” The french male inquired, arm crossing over his chest. 

lila rolled her eyes at the boys comment, she tried to be nice but in the end she knew it wouldn’t have gotten through to him, “okay you’re probably right but please for the love of everyone here please be somewhat pleasant? i mean kylie and i do have to share a room with you and right now i’m thinking i’m going to sleep on the couch or something.”

“See now that sounds like a personal problem. If you want to sleep on the couch then be my guest. No one is stopping you nor am I telling you to do so. You do what you want, No one is forcing you. I am not going to bother you if you do not bother me it is as simple as that. That is sort of how these things work.” The blond pointed out only to let out a sigh moments later. He meant what he said, but he also somewhat understood where she was coming from. They were all stuck there together. Although he wasn’t the biggest fan of playing nice, it might just work in his favor. “But whatever,” Sebastian shrugged, “what did you want to eat?”

dalton being the gullible and naive person he was didn’t take sebastian’s words so well.  instead, his jaw had dropped and he stared at him with wide eyes. “wait- are you being serious?” he asked before laying back against the wall, holding his hand against his forehead. “this is one of my biggest fears. oh dear lord- can you imagine it?”

It was almost instant. The upward quirk of his lips, far too fast for him to really catch and stop himself before it turned into something like a grin. Dalton’s face in that moment was far too priceless not to gain such a reaction from the blond. He would’ve cackled if he hadn’t wished to push the taunting a touch further. Sebastian bit back his grin as quickly as he could before nodding vigorously in hopes of masking the smile. “Oh yes. You know I should know. Nice is not so far away from here...well far enough that we’ve not been submerged, but the ocean...I mean it gets crazy. You can not even go outside.” He fabricated a little story, the corners of his lips still upturned slightly. “I suppose all we can do is hope that no water gets through.” Sebastian added, slapping the palm of his hand against the wall behind him.

“you sound like a dick, dude.” paxton said simply, his arms now crossed over his chest. he knew he had to be at least a little scared if he was acting out. “you must be just as freaked as everyone else. i mean you are trying to come across as a- okay during this. but let’s be real, you don’t want to be stuck here for days with all of us with no escape, do you?”

“And...? Your point is...?” Sebastian questioned, his shoulders lifting in a shrug, lips tugged into a slight smirk. The other’s words were hardly enough to affect him. He’s heard much worse before, His lower lip juts out slightly and he’s shaking his head as he pretends to think about what Paxton was actually saying. “No you see. There it is. I do not want to be stuck here with all of you. That is my issue. It is not some stupid storm, I am more worried about having to deal with so many idiots at once.”

14: DO YOU MISS SOMEONE?

“Uhh...yeah.. I mean..whenever you get close to people you are bound to miss them...and...I am not always very good with keeping up with things. I should....but it’s just difficult.”

19: WOULD YOU GO BACK IN TIME IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE?

“I think I would, yes. There are a lot of reasons to go back in time especially knowing how certain things have turned out.”

70: IS THERE ANYONE YOU WOULD DIE FOR?

“you know it really is my luck to have this be my first day here.” she said as she leaned up against the wall,sighing. “all i want is a goddamn drink and a fucking cigarette. is that too much for a girl to ask for on her vacation?” khloe rolled her eyes in aggravating. “do you want to at least check the place out instead of standing around like a bunch of idiots?”

“Oh yeah.. sucks...boo. That is so terrible for you.” The male sighed and rolled his eyes. Though normally a negative person himself, being cooped up with everyone else in this situation caused a new level of irritation especially since they were all in some sort of mood. “It is a safe house. There are rooms and this space and storage space. Nothing to check out.”
