Eleanor's POV

It was 3am now, and everyone was sleeping. Lance had just fallen asleep, as he was talking to me so now i'm the only one awake. I was doing a watch and in an hour, i'd have to wake Jack up for a watch.

I was so tired. We had such a long day yesterday. We had our first attack and who knows how much more is to come. Obviously, we'd have to get used to this in time. I poked the little fire we had going, with a stick since I was pretty cold and thought about things.

First thing that came to my mind was, Rosie. I was so worried about her. It's been about a week since all this shit started and she's not coping well.

I mean, who would? It's an apocalypse for crying out loud. But, all of us are gonna have to help her. I almost lost her today, and I don't want that to happen again.

As continuous thoughts ran through my head, my watched beeped signaling that it was 4am. I stand up and walk over to Jack, shaking him awake.

"It's time for your watch." I tell him once his eyes were open.

"Okay." He mumbled and sighed, sitting up. "Get some sleep then,"

I smiled at him and laid down, getting comfortable next to Rosie. I pulled her small blanket a little closer to my side, closing my eyes and falling asleep.

••••••••••••

I woke up and the sun was out, everyone was fast asleep except for me and Jack. He was laying opposite sides of me playing with Nicole's hair as she slept.

Cute.

I sighed as I stood up, yawning and stretching, catching Jack's attention. "Good morning," he says.

"Morning." I reply. I pick up my backpack and grab a small packet of salted crackers and my almost empty water bottle. Drinking all my water and then eating crackers, i moan, enjoying the food. I was starving.

"I'm guessing your quite hungry?" Jack chuckles.

"You could say that," I mumble. "It's been a little while since i last ate."

"When did you last eat then?" He says, sounding concerned.

"Um, noon. Yesterday."

He sighs. "That's pretty long. You need to make sure you eat, El. Okay?"

"Yeah, dad."

He laughs at the nickname and then we decided to wake everyone up. It was 9am. Everyone woke up easily, except for Marco who was taking a whole eternity.

"One more hour!" Marco mumbles,

"No! Wake up you dumbass," Lance laughed, kicking his back.

Marco scowls and sits up, wiping drool away from his cheek. I laugh at the sight. Once everyone had their stuff ready, we made a move.

I walked at the front with Jack and Rosie while the others were following behind.

"I'm so hungry!" I complain. Even though i ate an hour ago.

"You should've eaten last night!" Jack retorts. I roll my eyes at him. I hear Nicole laugh from behind, and so does Rosie.

"I pray we come up to a supermarket today. I will devour every single thing in there." I say.

All of us agreed on heading to the city tomorrow because we figured it be little easier to find things and shelter. Maybe.

After several hours of walking, we found a supermarket and decided whether on sticking around in there for the day and throughout the night so we can move somewhere tomorrow morning. After all, we were all exhausted.
