Resident Evil 2 (2019)

~Chapter 14- We made it~

I wanted to tell her I could see us. I could see us in the future. What if she was my future? What if she was around me the rest of my life?

She was special. A woman I never met.

Yes, my girlfriend did just break up with me but I fell like I had been over her for weeks. It did hurt when she left but finding Laci and seeing her stay by my side just made me think she was better than anything.

I wanted to work with her and stay by her side. Doing her wrong was the worst thing i've ever done. I will make it up to her once we get out of here.
"Five minutes until detonation."

She looked at me like she had something to say.
"Go ahead."
"What?"
"I can tell you want to say something. Say it."

She sighed and looked around.
"I uh... I want you to be in my life. The rest of my life."
"Same here."
"I hope we don't get separated after this."
"We won't. I promise. They'll probably just strap us down to a table and take samples of our blood."
"You're a goofball."
"I'm serious! They'll take samples of our blood and then after that I bet we talk to the president."
"They're taking us to Washington, D.C.?"
"Yeah, most likely."
"So we'll be living there the rest of our lives?"
"Unless you move back to Texas. Or unless I go somewhere else. I won't though."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm glad you're not mad at me anymore."
"I'm still broken over it."

Shit. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I wish I could take it back.
"I'm really sorry."
"It's okay."
"It's not though. I didn't ever want to hurt you."
"Don't bring this back up. I just want to forget about it."
"But I know you'll be thinking about it for a long time."
"I'll be alright."

The ground we were on slowed to a stop. We got off and went towards the exit. The exit door busted open and zombies came out. I pulled out my shotgun and cocked it, waiting for them to line up. I pulled the trigger, blowing all three of their heads open.

I grabbed Laci's hand and ran through the door.
"The train!"

It was already moving. I started running with her hand in mine. She was too slow.
"Leon let me go!"
"We're almost out I'm not letting you go again!"
"Trust me!"

I let her hand go and hopped on the train. I friend and watched her run. The end was coming to fast,I knew she wouldn't make it on. I jumped off, running as fast as I could.
"Jump!"

She jumped and I grabbed her, throwing her into the train car. I jumped on the end and walked through the doors. She stood up.
"I knew you weren't going to make it."
"Have a little faith."
"I had to come up with something quick."
"Sorry."
"You should've just jumped on before me."
"I know. I just thought I could make it."
"It's alright. Let's find Claire."

She walked ahead of me, the doors opening in front of us. I saw a woman through the window. That's gotta be her.

The door opened and Laci walked through, I followed right behind.
"You must be Claire."
"I am, its nice to meet you Officer."
"Please, just call me Laci."

Laci kneeled down and started talking to Sherry. I walked up to Claire and shook her hand.
"I'm Leon Kennedy."
"Claire Redfield."
"I'm glad you made it out."
"I'm saying the same."

I smiled softly.
"So where'd you get the rocket launcher?"
"Fought some big dude."
"Oh, what did he look like?"
"Tall, purple."
"The tyrant."
"Sure, I guess."

She was pretty, but she just wasn't it.
"So I assume you and your girlf—"
"Partner. We're just partners."
"Thinking about be something more?"

I looked at Laci and back at Claire.
"I am, yes. Much considering it."
"What's the hold up?"
"I want to settle down. I need to get an apartment and just forget about all of this. I hardly know her as much as I want to. I want to wait."
"That's very understandable. She's pretty."
"She is."
"Well what are your plans after this?"
"Just get a new police job or whatever. Hopefully I can talk to the president about being a BSAA agent or a US-STRATCOM agent."
"US-STRATCOM?"
"United States Strategic Command."
"Ah okay."
"How about you?"
"Go back to college."
"College student?"
"Yeah. I'm in my second year."
"So you're about what, 20?"
"Yeah, I am."
"I'm 21. Laci is 19."
"Surprising."
"How?"
"She looks older."
"It's the uniform I swear."
