Chapter 15-June

"Shit! Damnit all to hell!"

"Day, calm down. It's ok." I say. He seems more freaked out than he should be.

"Please don't tell me to calm down right now. We are stranded in the middle of no where, are phones aren't getting reception and the nearest gas station is like 10 miles away."

"Try 3 miles and there's a chance we can get reception if we move around a bit. The weather is amazing up here and someone is bound to drive by eventually, we're not that far out of town."

"Don't give me that bull shit June. No one is going to drive by, we're in the middle of the freaking mountains!"

"Ok, don't talk to me like that. What on earth is going on with you? You're not acting like yourself."

"I'm acting how I normally act June, did you even think that maybe it could be you who's being weird?" he throws his hand up in the air and I am honestly at a loss for words. This is not my Day and I tell him as much.

"I'm the same person I was when we left." he gives me a pointed look.

"Ok, I'm going to walk up that hill and see if I can get better reception at higher ground. You stay here, take a breather and wave someone over if they drive by. Maybe you can chill while I'm gone." I sigh and walk into the trees, holding my phone up to look at the bars.

I hear him make a disgruntled noise behind me but I try not to pay attention. What in the world could be going on with him? Is he holding some sort of grudge after last night? I think over all of the possibilities in my head. "June!" I hear him call from behind me.

I think that he is going to yell at me again so I ignore him. "June!" He calls again. "Please turn around." He sounds almost desperate.

I do what he says. "What, Day?"

"Just...promise me you'll be safe." His face is all scrunched up like he is in pain.

"I promise Day." I turn around and leave him behind. I wind my way through the trees, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful scenery and checking my phone every now and then. Soon I reach the top of my hill and the trees thin out, leaving me in an open field.

I lay down in the grass and watch the clouds go by, making up stories for the shapes I see. After about ten minutes, I give up on cell reception. 

Slowly, I get up and start to make my way back down. When I get to the bottom, Day is pacing back and forth in front of the car, waving his arms around animatedly. He looks...very strange.

"Day!" I call. "Are you ready to talk to me like a normal human being?" He glares over at me. I guess not, I think. "I'm sorry am I interrupting something here." I gesture at his strange behavior. He rolls his eyes.

Ok this is making me actually mad now. "Day, snap the fucking hell out of it. I'm getting tired of this." I rub my forehead, sitting down on the hood.

"What's your problem with me June?" He asks incredulously.

"My problem?!" I'm shouting now. "My problem is that you're treating me like shit and you won't tell me why! My problem is that I think you're mad at me but I can't figure out what I did. My problem is, we are in a bad fucking situation and you are doing nothing but make it worse! That's my problem."

He stares dumbfounded. "You think I'm mad at you?" He sounds confused and his voice is louder than normal.

"How the hell could I not?! What is wrong with you?"

"You want to know what's wrong with me?"

"Yes!"

"I'll tell you what's wrong with me!" He's shouting too now. "I have felt so many things the past few days. So many feelings that I couldn't comprehend. My mom and brother are dead, my other brother is severely injured. My emotions are like...I don't know, like a big bomb just waiting to blow up inside of me.
