Runaway

Now

"Lily, wake up, please" she doesn't move, annoyed, glaring at me, "I said I'm settling, carry on without me, take Sam, take everything I don't care, im not staying near you, not after you killed him" her voice was harsh, cold "he was infected, he was going to become one, believe me please" I pleaded , "I don't want to leave you" she shook her head,  hate in her eyes, "I'm sorry... I'd be able to deal with our life being a little harder, I'd be able to deal without Harrison, but this, this is just a deal breaker" my heart broke, I still have that diary, it's full now though... I read through it every once and a while, but the pages are hardly readable... Lily glares at me, still not close to resolving the situation, I sigh, trying to respect her decision, "fine... I'll get my things and I'll go..." I grab my bag, slinging it around my back, "but don't come crying back when I find sanctuary" I turn to her, my glare harsh, not fully accepting her choice, before walking out, the shack shaking as I slammed the dissolving door.

Sam followed closely behind me, Sam was a drone, me and Lily found him in the apocalypse, he was a friendly bot, not infected by the virus yet, there wasn't many like him, and now he's fragile, if I slip up somehow, he could get infected and he could kill me, but I try not to worry, he's good at fighting, especially bots...

Now, it's just me and Sam, alone, in the ruins of California, years ago, America was destroyed, bots invaded from Mexico, and now not many of us live, originally, the bots were sent to help, but a virus spread, making them dangerous, violent, terrifying... Sam never got the virus, it didn't spread to him and we don't know why... Now, my journey is to get to Canada, they have walls, strong defences, soldiers, safety. That is the sanctuary I want, that's where I'm going to go, it will be safe there, and I can be happy...
