As i wake up, It was freezing. I sat up rubbing my eyes looking around. The train was stopped. Diego opened the cart door "Rise and shine everybody. We need to set off." Diego said waiting for us to get off the train. I got off the train and looked around. All i could see was trees and grassy fields.
I smiled knowing I'm finally away from my family. "How far are we from home?" I said looking at Diego curious.
"Hours." Diego said looking back at me with a soft smile. I nodded at him and smiled. "We should get some food. Find a town? i got some pence left able to buy us bread." I said looking at them walking backwards than turning around. We started walking up a hill the sun was rising.
After a few hours It was 13:00 (1pm) I was pretty tired and so were the rest of us. We saw smoke in the distance. "Look! Look!" Bryon yelled pointing at the buildings. All of us ran towards the buildings. We all were so happy.
We saw a bakery there and walked inside. I handed the guy some pence and he gave us a loaf of bread.
I smiled and walked outside spitting up the loaf of bread and handed it to everybody. "Finally I'm starving." Lewis said grabbing his piece eating it fast. Diego chuckled at Lewis and ate his. "All right lets go" Diego said starting to walk. Brianna walked next to him and i stayed next to Bryon making sure he was okay.
Bryon smiled at him "I am kind of glad that we left. Mum and dad were scary.." Bryon said with his hands in his pockets looking down at the ground. "Me too. As long as your safe what is most important." I said in a comforting tone looking at him smiling. Bryon looked over and me and hugged me smiling. I hugged him back tightly kissing his head than walking.
After a bit i kept glancing over at Diego. I couldn't stop looking at him for some reason. Its like my eyes were drawn to him. I looked over at some large hills as we left town. We were walking for a long time. Bryon was on my back because his legs were tired from walking that far.
"We should have gotten water." Lewis said looking at Diego. Diego nodded and pulled out water from his bag giving us each one. "Stole it from a store down the road from that bakery." Diego said opening his water bottle drinking it. He than threw it off into the distance.
Brianna looked at Diego and smiled. She was talking to him but i could not hear what. I felt jealous. I don't like Diego. Just as a friend.
We found a run down train cart in the middle of the forest and we decided to camp there. We Walked to it and Diego opened it using all of his strength looking inside. "Yea this will do." Diego said stepping inside. I put Bryon down on the floor gently letting him sleep. Lewis was setting up a fire and was able to. "I'm going out to get fire wood anybody want to come?" Diego said looking at us. "Ill go." I said looking at him. He nodded and started walking and i followed him.
We were walking around the forest looking for wood big enough for the fire. "Its calming out here. I like it." I said smiling at Diego. Diego looked at me smiling than saying "It is. Fun to walk through." I nodded at him smiling a lot than grabbing some wood.
We walked back putting the Wood down next to the fire. I sat down on a log warming up with the fire.
Lewis was making up dances and laughing also telling everybody jokes to calm everybody down. He chuckled to himself and jumped onto Diego laughing. Diego and Lewis started to play fight. I giggled as Diego and Lewis play fought. I looked at Brianna and smiled. She sat next to me. "I'm kind of glad we left but like i don't know i kind of miss home." Brianna said thinking than looking at me. I nodded "Yea i guess I'm just happy Bryon is safe." I said looking over at Bryon laughing and cheering for them. "I'm happy your my best friend" I said than Brianna smiled putting her arm around my shoulder.
As the sun fully went down and the fire started to die. I was outside zoning out and Diego was sitting next to me and it was just us. I put my head on his shoulder tired. He smiled at me and he was looking at the wood. An hour went passed I got up. "I'm headin to bed." i said looking at Diego. Diego than nodded at me and stood up as well and we walked to the train cart.
He than shut the door after we got in and than i layed down yawning and i fell asleep almost instantly.
