Once we entered there was only one man Dr Edwin Jenner , he said we could stay if we submitted to a blood test so we all agreed. He took us underground to the centre of this place . It reminded me of a evil lair from an action movie it was pretty cool , I bet Amy would of love it .
Once we all gave our blood , we indulged ourselves in a much need meal. I was sitting next to Glen and Dad , Tommy was on the other end of the table I could feel his stare burning into the side of my head but I couldn't face it . However there was a lively spirit in the air , smiles on people's faces as wine was passed around . Dale says" you know in Italy , children have a little bit of wine with their dinner" he winks at me and Carl. "Well when Carl and Elodie are in Italy then they can have some", I sigh so unfair . Dad see's me sulking and speaks up "come on what's the harm in it" , I smile " yeah I'm 17 mom nearly 18 that's the legal drinking age in other countries". She looks at me then Carl and sighs nodding. I get a full glass while Carl gets a little in a cup. "Shall we try it at the same time ?" He asks me excited , I laugh at him not wanting to ruin his enjoyment by telling him I've already snuck myself alcoholic drinks before . "Yeah sure thing bud". The group chants us on as we drink I take a big gulp enjoying the burn but Carl immediately recoils "ewww" he says and we all laugh at the face he's making. "That's my boy" mom says patting his back , Everyone turns to me expecting a similar reaction Carl had. " Ooo it burns" i say faking a face of disgust, everyone laughs at my terrible tempt at convincing them. " And that's my girl" dad says smiling at me and I return the smile , leaning my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah you keep drinking mini grimes , you too Glen and Tom I wanna see how red your faces can get" everyone bursts into laughter again before my dad stands up making a toast. "It seems to me we haven't thanked our host properly" we all cheers giving the doc our gratitude. Once again our moment of bliss is ruined , this time by Shane. "So when you gonna tell us what the hell happened here ,doc ? . " we're celebrating Shane" my dad interrupted sternly " don't need to do this now". Shane carries on pestering Dr Jenner till he explains.
" Well when things got bad , a lot of people just ... left, went off to be with their families. And when things got worse, the rest bolted". "Every last one" Shane asks " No many people couldn't face it so they ... opted out" Jesus Christ that's a mood dampener. " your such a mood killer man" Glen complains to Shane.
As the dinner continued Glen snook me one glass full of wine after the other and it was starting to take affect but I was loving it. The doctor showed us round the rooms and we had showers , with actual hot water can you believe it. I bagsied going in first out of my family too bad for Carl. The steaming hot water running down my back was so soothing to all the those aching muscles I have after living in the wild. I wash my hair like 5 times finally getting all the grime out, once I'm out the shower I go find Glen who still has a few bottles of wine with him in his room.
We end up doing a drinking challenge , seeing who can chug the most. " Nice try El but I win , you loseeee" he says exaggerating , " Barley I-I nearly won and I'm 17 , I'd say that's pretty embarrassing for you" I respond drunkenly , I try get up but I stumble. Glen tries to catch me but fails miserably and we both end up in a heap on the floor, we're laughing so much I nearly lose my breath.
Once we calmed down he turns to me "Hey El, what's going on with you and Tommy , I mean I just noticed distance". I sigh turning away from him not expecting this question " ugh well he was in trouble when the walkers came and I t-tried to help him but ..." I couldn't finish my sentence I didn't want to admit that he didn't even try help me because I don't think he is the type of person to do that but I can't deny the facts. Glen puts his hand on my shoulder "it's ok just , whatever it is I'm sure you guys will figure it out . But just be careful ok El" I look at him confused why would I need to be careful but I just nod and smile back. "Night Glen I'm going to go sleep now".
I use the side of the table to help me up as I hear Glen mumble night , i sneakily grab the nearly empty wine bottle before I leave. I walk down the lit hallways to my families room I stop at the door as I hear my mom crying and my dad trying to comfort her , I frown but I leave them to have their moment because I wanted to check out the Rec room anyway. I stumble down the hallway round the corner till I find it , I walk in expecting it to be empty but Tommy is in there his own bottle of wine hanging from his hand. Great just the person I wanna see.
I let out a groan going to turn back but I hear his footsteps then feel his grip on my wrist "B-babe just , just wait . Let us talk this through" I sigh looking into his eyes , were both obviously drunk but my heart gets the better of me and I let him pull me back into the room him shutting the door behind us. "Explain then Tommy , tell me why you just , just stood there and watched me nearly die !" I shout letting out my built up anger. " I was scared babe I was going to help you , I wanted to help you but I just froze." He says in his convincing tone grabbing my hands softly bringing me closer to him "please you have to believe me, I wouldn't never want you to get hurt , I love you so much " he says louder like he's begging me .
I sigh looking into his eyes "I love you too ,Tom but ..." his finger comes up to my mouth hushing me as he pushing me further back till I hit the wall " T-Tom"I stutter out of shock . "No , no no just listen if you love me you will forgive me right ? Or you must not love me and that would make you liar Elodie !" He shouts and I try push back but his arms have barricaded me in " Tom don't say that ! Let me go" I plead but he doesn't listen. " Just say you forgive me and I will" he says touching my face , I give in "fine , I forgive you because I love you" I say truthfully. He smiles and pulls back , I finally breath again having my personal space.
"God babe , you look amazing that shower really did you justice" he says as he scans my body hungrily , I know he's drunk and so am I "thanks" I say timidly inching closer to the door as I open it , I really don't want to do this now. He looks between me and the door before advancing towards me again , reaching past me and shutting the door again then pushing me against it. He starts kissing my neck "Tom stop I don't wanna do this right now" . He doesn't listen so I act on instinct, I knee him in the balls . He instantly yelps stepping away from me. " what the fuck Elodie !" He shouts
"I told you Tommy I don't want too right now , I have forgiven you but I'm not going to let you just .. whatever I'm going to bed goodnight" I say not waiting for an answer as I slam the door walking back to my room and slip into my bed falling asleep. What a night .
