On the road
THE REALIZATION THAT THEIR ONCE SAFE HOME was becoming more of a hazard every minute they spent there worried the Romano's. Estella was the most concerned, her fears going much further than that of her own safety. She had a child, a twelve year old girl that she needed to protect.
No matter the costs.
"Come on, everyone needs to pack the fuck up and get in the car, we've got to go." She instructed, watching as her daughter worriedly buckled herself into her seat.
None of the family really wanted to go, they felt safe on the outskirts of Atlanta as they waited for Luca to come back with Joseph, their brother who had been sick in the hospital when this all went down.
They tried to wait, but, it had been two weeks since the man left and the way the Z's were piling up, they had no choice.
"Hold your damn horses, alright? Serena's getting her guitar." Felix snapped, his daughter responding to him with a simple glare.
"God forbid stepmother dearest forgets her guitar." Milo mumbled to himself, sliding into the seat next to Avery before laying his head on the girls shoulder.
"You stink." The young girl voiced, smacking him upside the head to shake him off. "I stink too but you stink real bad, Mimi."
"All offense taken." The youngest Romano crossed his arms over his chest, his lips forming into a pout that earned a laugh from his niece.
A sudden swoosh sounded off, the group looking towards the noise. They spotted Aurora, her bow in hand with a satisfied half smile on her face. She had been getting pretty good with it, weeks of training finally paying off.
"That's it, dad. Two more seconds and we are leaving your wife here, i'm not dealing with these damn zombies just so she can live out her rock star fantasies." Estella said to him sternly, the woman getting into driver's seat, her ex husband already in the car waiting patiently for everyone to file in.
There was no protesting on Felix's side, he nodded his head, putting a hand out to signal for the woman to calm down.
"Let me go get her, okay? We'll be back in less than five." The man reasoned, slowly stepping backward.
"I'll give you three." Estella turned her attention to her sister who was still shooting at walkers, no sign of her wanting to stop. "Rory, get in the van, now."
They had been cooped up awhile, and the Romano's were full of anger, some more than others.
Felix quickly walked back towards the apartment buildings they had been held up in, scoffing at the fact that his daughter was bossing him around as if he was a child. She had always been someone who took care of the whole family but, since the beginning of all this, the woman became stronger, fiercer. He was proud of her, she grew up into almost exactly what he wanted her to be.
