We traveled for about two days. We used the rest of the gas that we had and continued on. We made little pit stops here and there but just mostly found water and a first aid kit. Daryl used it to bandage my leg. After a few hours the gas was running very low only time would tell how long we had. We were halfway there when suddenly the bike stopped

Daryl: Ah shit!

He pulls the bike over on the side of the road

Me: What do we know now?

Daryl: We walk

Me: What?

He looks in the bag where we kept food and water

Daryl: We'll be okay, come on

He gets off the bike and looks at me. I stare at him

Me: You're serious?

Daryl: Do you trust me?

Me: Yeah

Daryl: Well then

Me: ok...

I get off the bike and we start following the road

Thirty minutes later....

We're holding hands

Daryl: Hey

I look at him

Me: What's up?

Daryl: I just wanted to say I'm sorry about all the things I said to you back at the house

Me: You were drunk

Daryl: I was such an asshole to you

I laugh to myself

Me: So was I

He smiles

Daryl: You were a bigger asshole than me

We both start laughing. He stops as I keep walking still holding my hand. I feel a tug and look at him, he pulls me to him and hugs me

Daryl: I'm sorry again

Me: I'm sorry to

He kisses my head then we continue walking

An hour later...

We make it to a really big wall. Someone on top sees us

Guy: What is your business here?

Me: We're looking for Aaron and Eric. They were attacked a couple of days ago by a biker gang. I was the one who saved them

Guy: Celina?

Me: Yeah that's me

Guy: Open the gate! Go get Aaron?

Me and Daryl look at each other

Daryl: Well shit

The gate starts to open

Me: Let's hope they're here

Daryl: Yeah

The gate fully opens and we walk through
