:We ignore how I forgot the recap in the other chapter:

Recap~ I slowly let my finger press down on the trigger as i shut my eyes close...and finally after a long deep breath...I shoot.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I wait for the pain of the bullet, but it never comes. Even after i hear the sound of the bullet being shot. I open my eyes slowly. My eyes blurry because of my sobs from earlier. As my vision clears what i see shocks me. My dads hand pointed the gun up into the air when he spoke out in a raspy voice, but still the voice of my father

"I love you, my daughter...so please live this out for us...I think they're at san..." His voice died out as his hand that was on my gun fell down into my lap. Taking his finale breath...his will...there alive. I stayed frozen, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I didn't know what to do. I was happy and sad... and scared. There's not a clue on what to do.

I did know one thing, though. My father deserved one last meal. I got an orange from my bag, it's his favorite fruit and I put it in his hand and started to collect some dirt and placed it on my father making his grave. Both Trevor and Gust stayed quiet as I took them back to my little sewer to get out of the rain.
That night, we all went to sleep silent, all thinking of the same things, just not speaking about it.
Next morning
I started to kill the fire and put a banana next to Trevor as a thanks for helping me. I went back over to my spot further in the sewer and started to clean my guns as gust, and Trevor made small talk "So how did you guys meet?" Gust spoke out. "At her school we met there and became friends we had all of our classes together but what about you" gust smiled nervously "when we met we weren't on the best terms" Trevor laughed "lemme guess you attacked them and almost killed them" both me and gust flinched and stayed extra quiet as Trevor spoke again "holy shit Kenzie I knew you had kinks but a killing kink is kinda crazy" I threw a pebble at his head "shut the fuck up trevor, you see this is why I left your ass" Trevor scooted closer to me "but you could never get rid of me" I sighed "yeah your like a fucking stalker and even more so now seeing as how we've found eachother during a goddamn apocalypse". Gust started to speak again "did you too use to date or something?" I turned around quickly, and so did Trevor as we both yelled in unison "HELL NO I HAVE STANDARDS"
A couple of days later
"Alright we'll you know where we're at and if we get the time I'll come visit y'all to see some of the guys at our school" I spoke to Trevor as he was walking back home to his camp while we went the opposite way. Both me and Gust had gotten back to our motorcycles and put on our helmets that had personal mics in them so we could talk to each other. Halfway during the ride while I was ahead of gust he spoke "so...are we not going to talk bout the fact that your tried to kill yourself twice in one day to the group" I stayed quiet the whole time. "You can tell everyone for all I care except for Eiko and oliver" I slowed down on my bike. "There becoming good friends and hopefully Eiko will accept oliver so those two can be happy so while there preoccupied I can leave on my own" gust sped up his bike almost as if asking what I meant by that. "My dad said that my family was in san something so I'm going to search every single refugee camp I can find and I won't stop till I find them" i smilies happily at the thought of finding my family. Gust spoke again "and I take it. You're not going to tell Eiko till they figure out that you're already gone right" I laughed hollowly and nodded. Gust mumbled "I can go with you I would follow you anywhere" he probably thought I didn't hear him though I did and my ears started to get really warm so I sped up so we could make it back home after being gone for 4 days.
