"So catch me up!" I squealed as me and Alex sat down on the soft couch. Mason was playing near the fire place in front of us while we caught up.
"Well, after we lost you, we ended up travelling for about a week running low on food and supplies. It was awful. Then I met Aaron. He rescued us from the hell hole we were living in and took us back here. Ollie greeted me, and I punched him square in the jaw. He's a dick. Then I got a job because I'm over 16, I'm the security for the gate, shooting down Roamers and whatever."
"Any love interests? Huh?" I nudged him.
"Well. There's this one girl, Katy. She's so sweet. I met her on duty. She was working with me and we sat there talking. She loves books and she's an awesome singer. She's so hot too." I scrunched up my nose at hearing him describe her as 'hot'. I hate it when guys do that.
"Mary?" Mason called innocently. "When are you gonna have a shower? You stink."
"Oi. I didn't know you had running showers..."
"Yeah it's upstairs and turn left, you should be able to find it. Towels and stuff are underneath the sink. Knock yourself out." Alex smiled.
I ran up the stairs and turned left.
Am I really gonna feel clean water against my skin again?
I turned the knob on the shower and hot water came spritzing out. Little dabs hit my face.
I began taking off my clothes and accessories except from my necklace. I took my bandage off my shoulder and threw it in the bin. I looked in the fill length mirror and examined my wound. It happened about 4 days ago and was starting to heal.
I stepped into the small space, water hitting my fragile body. Shivers were sent down my spine as the clean water hit my wound.
When I was done, I grabbed a spare toothbrush and brushed my teeth for a solid 10 minutes.
I got into a bathrobe and walked into the spare room which was mine now.
The room was big. It had a small desk with some books and magazines on and a huge bed and dressers.
I laid down onto the soft mattress and sat there daydreaming.
What happened if I hadn't had found this group? Would I be dead? I would never have found Mason and Alex or even Carl. I would have never met Carl if it wasn't for these people.
"One thing can change everything." My Mom used to say.
I jumped up when Alex walked into the room. "Hey, there's some supplies that Jessie dropped off. Ya know girl things. And some clothes." Alex said handing me a box full of randomness. Everything and anything from books to clothes.
"Tell her I said thanks." I smiled.
Alex walked out and I grabbed a pair of jeans, plain white top and a red flannel. I slipped them on a with some undergarments but taking off the flannel to show Alex my shoulder, see if I can get it checked out.
"Hey Alex-" I turned the corner to see a boy and a girl with him and who I assumed was Sam, was with Mason on the floor giggling about something.
The girl looked about my age maybe older and has blond hair and blue eyes. She wore very short shorts and a green tank top. I could tell she wore makeup from the amount that was on her face. She looked orange. Why would you need makeup in the apocalypse?
The other boy seemed nicer. He was the same guy that I saw earlier on the grass with his friends. He had light brown hair with was underneath his blue beanie. He was cute but it looks like tangerine has taken him.
"Mary, hey! This is Ron and Kira." Alex introduced us. Ron came and shook my hand while Kira just looked at me.
"Hi." I said quietly.
"Woah, what happened to your shoulder? Are you okay?" Ron asked me gently.
"I'm fine. I just got stabbed. No big deal. It's fixed now, well hopefully." I said calmly. Truth be told, I was fine just a little sore.
"Well my dad can help, he's the doctor here." Ron told me politely. I nodded my head in agreement and I said my goodbyes to Mason and Alex.
"Ron, I'm gonna go see the new guy, I heard he's so hot." Kira laughed while I scowled at her. I new she was talking about Carl. Carl's the only new guy here about our age. I did have to agree with her though, he is hot. "Catch you later, babes!" She shouted.
"So, how do you know Alex?" Ron questioned me.
"He was my best friend in school before. We made it out together along with my Uncle and Mason. We meet other group but got split by a herd... so then it was just us four again. Until my Uncle got bit and had to be put down. Then we split again, and I found this group. Rick's group." I explained.
"That's awesome. I love to see miracles happen. Like you and Ollie?" Ugh no.
"That's funny but no. Ollie's an asshole." I chuckled honestly.
We walked into what looked like another house but was turned into a doctor's office. Tools and equipment were spread out everywhere and beds and furniture was scattered around the room.
"Dad!" Ron shouted.
"What son- oh hello. What can I help you with..." Ron's dad hesitated for my name.
"Mary. And I was stabbed but I was wondering if you could check it out?"
"Of course! Sit and relax. Oh and my name's Pete." Pete introduced himself.
I pulled up my shirt sleeves and showed him my wound. He said it was nothing bad.
"Whoever fixed this. Did a good job. Stitches and bandages." I smiled at the fact Carl decided to help me, despite me being a bitch. He's adorable. I say that word too much about Carl.
A few seconds later, a short woman with short ginger hair walked in. She was an older woman, about 50s. She dressed smart and her posture suggested she was here on business.
"Good morning Pete, Ron and..."
"Mary." I repeatedly said.
"Ah yes you're the girl I wanted to talk to. My name is Deanna. My office?" She suggested.
"Sure. I'll be back soon-"
"Mary! Wait, er... well a couple of us are hanging out at my house, you wanna come?" Ron asked me as I was about to walk out the door. I nodded and made my way to Deanna's office.
