RYDEL

Ross.

Ross is standing in front of me.

I'm pointing my gun at him.

He seems as stunned as me. I'm shivering, I'm dreaming, all of this is a dream. I lower my arms and drop my weapon on the ground. I rush toward him, and take him in my arms.

I can touch him, he's real, definitely real!

"Oh my gosh, you're alive!" I start crying, but bite my lips to stop. I feel that he hugs me tight as well.

"Ross you're alive!"

"I missed you so much!" I hear him say.
We stay like that during about 2 minutes, hugging and telling each other that we are alive. We completly forgot Hailey.

"Soooo... I guess you know each other?" She says loudly.

We release our hug. She is stood up, folding her arms across her chest, waiting for us.

"Ross this is Hailey, Hailey this is Ross, my little brother." I smil taking Ross by his shoulders, he smiles back.

"Wait, how many brother do you have again?"

I'm about to answer, but I hear someone yelling on my back.

"Damn it Ross, the next time you do this, I kill you, I swear I..."

"Riker?"

He stops , forgetting his anger, and he rushes toward me, taking me his arms as I did with Ross.

"Rydel, you're... You're..."

"Alive, I know." I laugh, hugging him back.

"It's... It's..."

"Incredible, we know." Ross completes.

"But... Who's that guy?" Hailey asks.

"Riker, my older brother," I answer still smiling," There is Rocky too... By the way where is he?" I ask the boys with a big smile. Theirs disappear.

"He... He's coming, right?"

That is that moment that I understand that Rocky won't come.

"Oh my god..." I whisper, tears running down my face.

"Sorry Delly..." Riker says touching my shoulder gently, to comfort me.

"It's okay, I'll be fine..." I whisper again wiping my tears.

Ross comes closer and takes me in arms. That just makes me cry more.

"And... What about Ryland?" Riker asks, worried.

"He's fine," Hailey answers," just confined in bed because of the flu, but he's fine." The boys sigh in relief.

I'm starting to stop crying and calm down, so Ross releases me.

"Where's your shelter?" He asks.

"At about 15 kilometers. More than enough for 5 persons. " I smile, trying to not think about Rocky.

"That's decided, we're moving at your house girls!" Riker is really happy, I could tell.

"Where are you living?"

"In a bunker. A room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a beautiful 20m2..."
Woaw, no wonder why they are happy to leave this...

"But Rydel, you said about 15 kilometers? Isn't it too long by foot?"

We look at each other with Hailey, and start laughing. They are perplexed.

"You seriously think that we do 30 kilometers by foot everyday? We use a car!"
