Every Storm Runs Outta Rain

Chapter 2

I finally stopped for gas at my used-to-be gas station. I got out of the car trying to find at least a half of a gallon of gas. "Come on, I have to find something..." I said to myself as I was looking around. "Well at least I don't have to pay for anything." I mumble to myself as I keep looking.

I heard a noise a little bit farther away from me. "Shit!" I say as I grab my pistol from my pocket. "Now where the fuck are you..." I say looking around trying to keep my eye on my car and sister. I hear a loud bang come from behind a car.

"Who's there?!" I say quiet but stern. I hear a couple of groans. I quickly pear over the car and see one of those things that killed my parents and had then be like those things. I take my pistol aim and then BANG a loud sound fills the area. I hear a small clap sound as if someone thought I was an actress on stage. I pointed my pistol towards the noise. "Who are you!?" I ask loud and stern this time. The man in front of me put his hands in the air and said, "woah woah princess, calm down there, my names Allan." "Okay for one never call me princess and for two why where you watching me?"

"Okay, feisty one." He says. "Don't call me that either." I say as I glance over at my car.  "What are you looking at?" He asks. "What is it a bad thing that I'm not looking at you?" I ask feistly. He wanted feisty I'll give him feisty. "Well then." He says. "Look I don't know what you're looking at but, you know that I'm not acting out of control, like you, and I never asked you're name or anything that you're asking and I'm most definitely not pointing a pistol at you're head now am I? And do you see me complaining?" Says Allan. "Well Allan, " I snap. "You may be not complaining, but I have a right to be." I state. "Look this is the apocalypse, there are no laws anymore." He says. "Let me talk." I snap back causing him to step back. "In that car over there," I point towards my car. "Is my three month old sister. I have a right to be this way after killing my parents trying to find out a way to keep her alive and healthy, so I'm pretty God damn sure I can fucking ask whatever the hell I want Allan." I snap at him. "Wow..." He smiles.

  "What?!" I say. "That was amazing." He says back. "Now look, I didn't think you had that in ya doll." He says. "Ugh, am I ever going to get you yo stop calling me those names?" I say. "Nope" he says making me grin a little. "Hey, did I get you to smile?" He asked all bright showing. "Maybe." I say. We both laugh at this and I think, I might want him to stick around. We both hear a crunch noise. "TURN AROUND!" says Allan as he sees something behind me. "What?" I say shocked and surprised. "TURN AROUND!" He says again. I turn around and see one of them. I gasp in shock before it grabs me. "AH!" I scream as I'm trying to fight it off. Allan runs off while I'm trying to get free. "ALLAN!" I scream after him. I shove it off of me trip over near my gun and try to grab it. I then hear a loud bang and foot steps running after me. I look around to find Allan standing over me showing a hand to help me up. "Allan?" I say as I grab his hand and stand up. "What happened?" I asked him. "I went to go get my gun and then saw you on the ground trying to reach you're gun, and shot that fucker square in the head." I wrap my arms around him and hug him hard.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say as I'm hugging him. "Woah princess, you're welcome." He says as I let go. "I wouldn't know what I would do if you weren't there, who would take care of my sister?" "I would." He says as he grabs my hand. "Now, I still don't know you're name, love." He says. "Ha, okay it's Ash." "Short for Ashley?" He asks. "No short for Ash." I say smiling. "Oh, so that's you're name." He says smiling cockily. "Yes." I say giggling. "Look you wanna stay together, be a team, find new people, raise you're sister?" He asks. 

  The last part about raising my sister, that got me thinking does he want to act like we are a family or does he want to get to know me and maybe make a family. Without even thinking I said "yes, that would be perfect, but first let's get in my car and take a quick nap." I say finally spotting a gallon of gas and putting it in my car tank. "Okay, I guess we will do that after you fill up that tank." He says as he grabs my keys from my back pocket.  

  "Hey!" I say as I grab his arm. "Chill, im ginna drive." He says. "But I thought we were taking a nap." I say still holding into his arm. "You are I'm not, because I'm not tired, and I know where to go." He says. "Fine I say letting him go and closing the gallon of gas. 

  I put it in the trunk and got in the passengers side of my car. I grabbed my blanket and pillow from the back with Hannah and gave Hannah her binki, later my seat back and fell asleep. I heard the engine start and Allan lock the doors click his seat belt, then click mine cause I forgot I was so tired. He put the blanket on top of me and made sure I was okay then made sure Hannah was okay. He put his foot on the gas pedal and we were gone to his 'hide out'.
