We climbed a tree and sat back to back on branch. My backpack sat on my lap and pulled out my water bottle and drank. "So I talked to Ashley before we left." I spoke.
"About?" She said as I closed my water bottle.
"I told her to take it easy on you because you had a rough day."
"So I assume you knew her." She said.
"Uh yeah. I guess."
"So was she always this intense."
"Well she always had a crush on me so I guess since now I'm with you she's a little bit angry."
"Yeah that makes-" she was cut off by a man who grabbed her leg and yanked her off the tree. I grabbed her fore arms. Since I was tied to the tree I could pull her up without me falling. She dangle from the tree as I exerted as much force as I could to pull her up but the man wouldn't let go. I finally pulled her up. I untied myself and jumped down I pinned the man to the ground by his throat with one hand and repeatedly him with my other. I knew he was dead or passed out when he stopped struggling. "Come on." I gestured to Corey. She threw the backpack on the ground and hesitated to jump down. "Don't worry core I got you just jump." I yelled up to her. She jumped and I caught her I saw the gash on her leg. That mother fuck must of cut her leg when he pulled her down. She jumped on my back and I took of running while the sun came up. I felt her shove something in my ear. She pulled out a gun and started shooting at the dead near us. We got back to the Cosco I unlocked the gates and sat Corey down on the curb while I relocked them. She wrapped her legs around my torso and wrapped her arms around my neck. She all of a sudden passed out. I pushed the doors open. "Rachel!" I yelled.
"Ok uh put her down on the table." She panicked. I later her down on the table and kisses her forehead.
Rachel ripped her jeans to her mid thigh. There was a giant slash from her mid calf to her knee and a gunshot wound on her knee. "She was shot." Rachel spoke.
"What, I never heard her get shot." I was confused. Corey's eyes fluttered open. She looked down at her leg and her eyes immediately filled with fear.
"Shh it's okay." I kissed her forehead.
"Oh shit she's awake." Rachel said.
"Why is that bad." I asked
"Hold her down." She yelled.
I held her down. Rachel went in and dug around for the bullet. Corey screamed through clenched teeth her eyes filled with tears. Rachel started stitching the wound and Corey canes down the stitches didn't seem to hurt her. I held Corey's hand as she calmed down and passed out. Rachel finished and wrapped her wound. She started to walk away.
"Hey Rachel." I said.
"Yeah." She responded.
"Thank you." I said she nodded and walked away. Later that night i carried Corey to my room careful of her leg. I open the door to my "room" and Ashley laid on the bed. "What are to doing." I whispered angrily trying not to wake Corey up.
"I was wondering if we could maybe you know." She smirked.
"No absolutely not eww." I raised my voice and woke Corey up. "Grayson?" She said in a groggy voice. "Shh go back to sleep." I kissed her forehead. She went back to sleep.
"Ugg why do you want her she's like 10." Ashley whined.
"Why are you still here." I whispered loudly. She stormed out of the room. I laid Corey down on the bed and laid next to her.
