| It's getting dark and still no sign of Dina or jj . I'm starting to feel that maybe I shouldn't go back , I mean that's if she's at Jackson and Maria ? Tommy? |
I quickly close my journal , I kneel into the mud beneath me , I take my bag off my back as it's still damp from having to swim over that rotting smelling lake . That lake was filled with mud and the bodies of clicker , well and a bloater or two , it was gross and having to push their slimy bodies out of the way was even worse . Their body slime against my skin , I need to stop thinking about that. I gently put my book in my bag in between my two shirts so the pages of my journal don't become soaked with that rotting smell called lake water .I rise to my feet and continue to make my way to Jackson.

|I'm going back , I miss you joel
I'm scared of going back without you
Seeing Dina and seeing tommy, Maria ... Jesses parents . (Drawing of Joel on the right side of the page) I wish you met you would have been so proud of him . I told him about you ... |

:Morning:
I open my eyes as the sun glares it's light towards me, I raise my hand to block out the sunlight , I bump my head and I sit up beside the front walls of Jackson ,I touch the wall with my right hand , the cold touch of the damp wood of the Jackson walls .I rise to my feet and grab my stuff . I pack my stuff back into my bag and begin walking to the gates.
