The girls picked up the pace, Walking swiftly. Faster than i've walked in a while.
They're clearly doing pretty well in this world.
"C'mon blondie, keep up!" Delilah demanded, and all i could think of was Rick's nicknames.
I chuckled under my breath, walking a little faster.
I felt as though my thin legs were about to snap underneath me, them being underfed, and undernourished.
I jogged a little to keep up, and then speed walked.
By the time we arrived at the shops, I was out of breath; panting.
I slouched over my knees, trying to catch my breath.
"Let's go!" Delilah said, now much farther ahead of me.
I ran to catch up, jogging through the stuck-open doors of the shop.
I felt as though I was going to pass out.
"Alright, what do we need?" I asked, in between breaths.
"That's your decision to make." Gemini spoke up for the first time in a while.
I nodded, moving to the isles.
"Bring whatever you find back to us. We'll put it in our bags." Delilah yelled from the other side of the store.
"Shh, you'll attract them." I could hear Gemini's muffled voice from across the store.
I found a few water bottles, some trail mix, and some miscellaneous cereal boxes.
I grabbed them and walked towards the isle where they were, handing the items to Delilah.
"Really, bitch?"
"W-What, I-" I spoke, confused.
"There is SO MUCH MORE stuff in this store!" The cereal boxes hit the floor with a crash, and i flinched.
"Give me fifty pushups!" She yelled, and my eyes widened.
"Excuse me?" I questioned, shaking my head. "Since when are you aloud to-"
"Give me fifty pushups!" She screeched, this time much louder.
I obeyed, getting on my palms and toes.
I counted the pushups, bending my arms into ninety-degree angles.
By the time I was at fifteen, my arms already burned.
*****
We walked back to the house, the two girls bags on my back.
I feel as though we were walking faster this way.
After about ten minutes of excruciating pain, we made it back to the house.
I crashed onto the couch, the bags falling off the couch.
"Good work." Delilah smirked, moving into the next room.
Gemini smiled shyly at me, then trailed behind Delilah.
