day 478

y/n's pov

"the baby needs more oxygen," evelyn starts. "someone needs to go out to the hospital nearby to get more supplies. do u guys remember passing it?" marcus and i both nod. "how's your leg?" evelyn asks. "it's okay, i can walk but it still hurts," marcus answered. "can you run?" evelyn asks again. marcus nods his head up an down and i start to worry. evelyn's going to make us go and get supplies by ourselves.

"are you sure you can do this? i can go alo-," i'm stopped by marcus, "i'm fine it won't be too long anyways." we gather supplies so we can leave tomorrow morning at the break of dawn. i look down at marcus' bandage and it looks pretty beat up. i grab the last bandages we have and grab marcus' arm. "get on the bad, your foot looks disgusting."

i finish up wrapping marcus' foot and we are all set and ready to go for tomorrow. evelyn starts to make dinner, which is someone peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. there's no kitchen down here, so we'll have to make do.

3rd person pov: regan

emmett and regan just left the radio station, and they are almost back at the neighborhood. emmett and regan split up to look for survivors, and it looks like there isn't many. regan remembers that they put those to boys in the closet, so she decides to look there first. regan walks up to the house and i slowly open the door. she makes her way up the stairs and into the master bedroom. regan looks into the closet to see the boys looking straight at me, with fear in their eyes. she kneels down to them and give them a hug, knowing that their parents are probably gone.

regan help the boys out of the house and find emmett empty-handed. she looks down at one of the boys, and sees tears start to trickle down his face. regan give them another hug, reassuring that it'll be okay. "what do you expect us to do with them?" emmett asks in a stern tone, making sure to annunciate. "we cant bring them back, we don't have the supplies." regan shakes her head, because they are the only people these kids have left. emmett sighs in annoyance, and says, "we need to gather supplies, and tomorrow morning we will head back to the mainland and go back home. what are your boys' names?" the boy with brown hair and fair skin says, "im ethan, and this is jordan." regan nods, not understanding, and goes off with the boys to gather supplies.
