I wake up earlier then usual and I leave kup to sleep and I decide to take a quick walk to look around the neighborhood. After a short distance I hear yelling coming from a house. Ik I shouldn't go see but my curiosity is peeked. I head over to the troubled house. The door flings open suddenly so I take evasive actions an dive behind a bush. I peek over expecting the worst when I see the girl from the mall storm out and slam the door. She walks a short distance and sits in the curb and begins crying. I don't know what to think.... Could it be fate? Maybe I should talk to her. Would she think i was weird? I stand up and head over to where she is and I sit next to her.
"Ugh. Not this twat waffle" she says complaining
"Um... Do you have a problem with me? I'm just trying to help!"
I say defensively
"No.. Sorry. My dads jut being a super douche and I'm done with him for good."
"Well looks like you and I are in the same sinking boat. Except I decided to leave a lot earlier!"
"Yeah.. Sounds like it. I'm not sure where to go from here." She says shrugging her arms
"Neither was I or ever have been. I just started walking"
"You make it sound easy! Sorry about in the mall by the way. I was in a rush." She says looking down at her worn shoes,
"You can make up for it by tagging along? What do ya think?" I ask
"Partners?"
"Partners!"
I show her the way back to kup and the base camp. Kup as always made a mess.
"I never got your name!?" I ask
"It's may..like the month"she replies
"Well okay may like the month. I'm Ulysses! And this is kup" she laughs and looks over at the dog and beckons him over.
Kup tilts his head and looks at me for confirmation. I nod and kup slyly walks over to May. She kneels down and let's her beautiful hair fall over her shoulders. I had to step back and take a moment to realize what I just got myself into. I have a friend now...I think. I met a girl. I had a crazy spur of the moment idea to ask her to join my death march to know where. She's still wearing what she had on at the mall but I notice her eyes. She smiles and pets kup as he falls onto his back and reveals his stomach to be scratched....but oh my god her eyes... I can't feel this way. I promised myself i wouldn't feel like this along time ago. And now I got myself stuck with her for life. She's going to be the death of me. Untill death do we part!. She looks up at me and my eyes meet hers. She smiles and stands up.
"Where to oh glorious leader. " she says saluting me. i really have no idea what to do next but I don't want to sound dumb.
" we will make it up as we go!" I say immediately regretting the flow of idiotic vows coming from my mouth. "Let's be off" she says
I pack up like usual but it's now a little Easier with help. We head off traveling opposite of downtown heading west. We have a long way ahead of us.
