05: Argument

Vylette's pov:
After the subway, every new citizen and every citizen in the quarantine district are going out into a mini restaurant to welcome the people who found their homes again. Tammy, Andy, Don, me, and my father are getting ready to go. Tammy and Andy changed into their new clothes. You can't ignore how purple brings out Tammy's eyes.

Once we got there, we would have to stand in line like school. We'd get our food served and it looks like school lunches. One of the who was serving food started to hit on Tammy.

"So, you got a boyfriend?" He asked.

I stepped up, "no, but she's got a girlfriend" I said said chuckling before Tammy pushed me aside.

"Sorry, my dad's here now scram." She said shooing her hand as I was dying laughing and she playfully glared at me. "Don't make people think I'm a lesbian."

My main goal for tonight is to not tell the pair about their mother until their father can. Don has always been bad at doing this stuff though and he doesn't even know that I escaped with Alice.

Nightfall happened pretty quickly, the rest of the day we walked around the city and the pair of siblings looked at their new home which was a luxury apartment.

Tammy asked where her mom was and I visibly tensed up. Don made them sit down and he told them the story but it was all a lie.

"Don! Quit telling your kids a damn lie! Your dad didn't see your mom die, he left her! And me! I was under the bed, Don! Tammy. Andy, I saw your mom die. I was the one who was with her. We found this little boy and after that all hell broke loose. The boy died and your dad left us and your mom and I escaped into the woods. The infected got her and I had no choice to leave her. I'm sorry. You may ask, how did I survive? I made it to the boat dock where my dad and your dad was. We had this friend named Jacob but he died. We made it out of there and we sailed to wherever we were to here."

I scoffed, "goodnight Don." I said blankly without any emotion as I walked into the bedroom we all shared as I flopped down onto a bed that I share with my father as I ran my hand down my face. What was I supposed to say? Was I supposed to put up with that stupid lie? Everybody probably hates me now. I know I'm not a parent but I wouldn't lie to my children.
