Smoke filled the air, and so did the smell of bird. I was sad to have to shoot down the young sparrow, but we were starving. My stomach grumbled again, and he looked over.

I sighed."A bit more hungry."

"Adds, you've been hungry all day."

"I know."

"Why didn't you eat the blueberries I found. You know. Berries, blue, good for you."

I laughed, and he laughed along too. Six months of being alone, just the two of us. Trevor was his name. I couldn't have been happier to be separated from everyone but still have him, besides a long list of people. Yeah... Trevor would plunk down in the middle. We weren't trained survivalists either, so it made survival a lot harder than it needed to be.

Trevor took the bird out, cutting it in half with his knife. I chowed down besides the disgusting smell of the fire still burning within it. Trevor snickered a few times before biting into his.

"What did you do...?"I asked Trevor.

"Pfft. Nothing, nothing." He continued to try to hold in a laughing fit.

"What?"

He couldn't hold it in."You're eating the butt!" Trevor rolled around on the ground laughing.

"Haha, butt. Very funny."

I continued to eat the sparrow in peace. Trevor finally held it together. We ate together, laughing and joking about the old times. I liked Trevor; he could adapt to even the smallest changes.

I wiped my greasy hands on my shirt, as I kicked dirt over the fire."Which way are we going? I was thinking about heading-"

"North. North is where everyone else is."

"I was thinking about South. Winter is coming and I... We don't want to get caught in an ice storm."

"If we don't find other people, we aren't going to survive. The north is more populated than this area."

"Trevor, we're staying here."

"North."

"Here."

"North!"

"Here!"

Trevor stood up, grabbing his backpack."We're going north and that's final." I could hear his heart pounding in his chest.

"Why can't we just stay here?! What... What are you so afraid of?!"

"I need to find Gray!" He looked over his eyes beginning to become wet with tears.

"Who's he...?"

His sadness turned to anger in a split second."He's my f***ing son you idiot!"

I pulled away for a moment."Trevor, I-"

"No, Addie, no." Trevor turned and walked away. He held up both middle fingers as he walked."I'm going to destroy your life, Addie! Destroy it! Don't you doubt me."

My heart was pounding in my chest as he walked away. Trevor didn't look back.
