Chapter 153: Naked truma club

River POV

I hear pounding on the door "I'm coming in!" I hear the door fling open. "We're all naked" Pickle yells. "I don't care. I've seen you all naked before" she says laughing.

We all start laughing. Lucky says "Yeah it's just a normal day with the naked truma club!" We all laugh hysterically.

"Suites are pissed,  Pilots been waiting and he's leaving in 20 with or without us. So lets put some clothes on, kiss your girl and lets get the fuck out of here" she says then she kisses my cheek "Thank you for everything River, I love you" she whispers to me. "I love you too"  I look at the three of them they keep acting weird and looking at me like they're not coming back or something bads going to happen.

I start breathing heavily and my chest is getting tight. I get up and get out of the tub and grab Lucky's robe. I walk passed them and out the door to Pickle's room.

I need Finn. Oh my god! Something happened to Finn! Brain is super hacker and can probably hack the government cameras or something I wouldn't understand. Flame was sad when we talked about her brother he's with Finn so maybe he called her. They were fighting about secrets then Brain left now all three of them are leaving.

I'm shaking so hard that I can't even brush my hair.

I feel the tears start running down my face. They are fighting cause they don't know how to tell me. That's the secret, that's why they are all so weird.

I feel hands on my shoulders but they feel weird on me like a old feeling or memory. What if it's something worse? What if they have to go do a job and it's dangerous and they might not come back.

I don't know how to help. What would I do if they didn't come back or they have to be gone for a long time. Pickle's talking to me but I can't hear him it's like his far away, he is snapping in my face with his fingers, I nod and put my brush in my bag and I start picking up my stuff.

I grab my chest, its getting hard to breathe. I sit on the bed and I notice now that Lucky is holding my hand, he's nose to nose with me. I can't hear what he's saying, he's too quiet. I just nod and stand up. I grab my phone and flask and put them in my back pockets.

Finn's flask. I sway and reach for the doorframe.

I'm in shock I think, how do I know if I am?

Think River damn it, what could have happened!

Okay it's about Brain, Pickle, Flame and Lucky. They've been friends forever so they have secrets. Brain is gone and they are all nervous they keep taking to me like they're not coming back. Brain's in Mexico, they're going to him and it's causing Flame and Brain to fight and her to have a breakdown.

Okay so what they are on the run from the cops or another mob group like in the movies, I don't know anything about this "Family" shit. I spent my childhood trying to survive my father.

I watched more TV and movies when I was in the hospital then I ever did in my whole life before that well at least that I can remember. It's Sunday I need to remember to call Callie. Okay what was I think of before that?

I can't focus. I walk to the bed and sit down just to breath for a minute. Pickle sits next to me on one side and Lucky on the other. Flame is squatting down in front of me. Finn.. What if it is him? What if I'm just freaking out cause they are leaving and I don't like change?

They are acting different, something is going on I know I'm not crazy.  Why are they all looking at me? I shake me head that's right they are leaving. I have to say goodbye to them. I stand and look at them. I pick up my bag and the baby's stuff that Crash has packed for me.

I tell him thank you as I take her jacket from him. He looks at me weird for a minute and smiles.

Suddenly I feel like I'm falling, no floating. I look around and Lucky is carrying me.

He sits on the bed and I'm on his lap. Why did he bring me back in the room, we're leaving.

He holds my face with a hands on each cheek.

"River. River. Come on enchantress can you hear me?" I kiss his nose and nod.

I push off of him. We have to get going. He grabs my wrist. He's pissing me off "Let go!" I yell at him. We're saying goodbye because everyone is leaving, off on their way to continue the lies and secrets.

He looks at me like his getting mad. I'm the one getting mad cause you guys keep bringing me back in the room.

I hear him yell at Pickle "This was supposed to be done and now we have to leave. What do we do just leave her like this and go running to him because he's being a pussy. Then what? Huh then what?" He yells as he paces around the room.

Pickle starts yelling at him about shutting up and he was part of lying in the first place. See they are lying. I close my eyes, that's better. Now I need to think, If I close my eyes then I can't see them fighting and I can shut them out.

I jump as someone touches me.

I feel warm lips on me. They pull back and I follow. I touch my lips to Pickle's. I open my eyes and he's looking at me. I close my eyes again. I'm trying to think, now what was my idea of what they are lying about? That's right!

I feel hands on my cheeks. I open my eyes, I think he said they're leaving now. I get up and head to the door.

I stop for a second. I turn and look at all of them, I close my eyes and count my breaths like Finn taught me.

Okay it's fine, I just need to confront them and get it done.

Okay last time deep breath and out

Okay it's time! I'm confronting them. I take one last deep breath.

I open my eyes, I jump a little cause they are all so close, all looking at me like I might break.

"Okay I'm ready" they all just look at me weird. Maybe I did that thing where I thought I said it outloud but didn't "Okay I'm ready" I repeat louder.

They all look at each other "For fucks sake! One of you just tell me now. Please I'm ready, what happened." They each look at me questioningly.
