The Outspread

Chapter Nineteen ; Survival Choice

Chapter Nineteen ;

- Riley -

I stayed in the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror reminiscing my regrets and all mistakes I did before this apocalypse. I look at my wrist. A tattoo. It has a semicolon over my cuts. I did it before. I got it jut to stop. I did. It helped. Now I had to do it again. I'll just die. But I want to survive. I was debating over again. But I have to protect. I have too. So I tied my hair up. And looked at my wrist.

"no more slits. " I said to myself and opened the door.

Once I opened the door I see an empty hallway. But footsteps were behind me as I walked over to my room. A hand suddenly is placed on my shoulder. I turn to see Harry.

"Are you okay love?" he asks. He's eyes looking down at me while I stay close to him.

"yeah. Fine. " I said. I didn't need anyone. And for certain I wasn't going to go with Harry right now. It's too much.

"okay, tell me when your ready. " he says and goes down the stairs. I nodded and went back to the room. I had to change clothes.

I opened up the drawer. Full clothes open but none of them mine. I look around to see my duffle bag. I walk over to it finding some black skinny jeans with a white tank top. I took it out. I went to the bathroom quickly and showered. Later I went out. After cleaning myself up. I walked over to my room until a hand upon my shoulder again. I rolled my eyes turning to see. Once again, Harry.

"yes Harry?" I ask.

" ready to tell me what happened? I'm always here for you. " he says.

" I never talked to you before. And you didn't to me. But now you say you are?" I said a little too harsh.

"I'm sorry. Temper you know. " I said quickly.

"wow, almost like Louis. " he said pushing me back to the wall and licking his lips.

" Harry, I'm wet and naked right now. " I said as I slipped under him getting away.

" well, I'm always here " he sad with a smirk. I rolled my eyes.

" okay. " I said as I walked into the room.

" bye Harry" I said before shutting the door closed.

I changed into my outfit and took out socks with my combat boots. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and left my bangs of to the side. I packed down my guns and weapons to the side of my belt and walked outside to help.
