Flashbacks of love #1

As we danced around on the glass platform a sudden sadness shot through my body as I slowed down, gradually standing still. I bit my lip looking down, Riley grabbed my hands "hey...what is it? What’s wrong?" I looked deep into her eyes, trying to hold back tears.

"Don't go...” Riley took in a breath, grabbing the pendent and pulling it from her next throwing onto the surface below us, I looked down at it then back at her, a sudden rush ran through my body as I stepped forward kissing her deeply on the lips.

A knocking at my door made me shoot up "Ellie...come on get up, we gotta go help Tommy and Maria with supplies" a strong Texan hit my ears making me sit up, I groaned lightly "I thought today was my day off?" Joel sighed "I know baby girl, mine too, but Tommy said it’s only going to be a 30 minute job then we can do whatever the hell we please, now hurry and get dressed"

I stood up searching around my room for decent smelling clothes, wash day wasn’t until Wednesday, and today was Saturday, I pulled on my striped vest and my flannel jacket and dark blue jeans and plain tatted shoes, with a circular logo saying Converse, I pulled on my backpack and walked out the door.

"Come on let’s get outta here" Riley said placing her hand on my shoulder, slowly getting up, I wiped my eyes lightly and stood up following Riley out of the window and walking along the platform. I sigh lightly staring down at my feet "Riley...about what you said back there..." Riley stopped turning around to look at me "Ellie, we are going to fight this, we will live as long as we can, fight this infection out till the end trust me" a smile crept onto my face.

"yeah, yeah you’re right" Riley nodded leaning forward returning the kiss I had given her not too long ago, I blushed looking down before walking along with her.

"Is that the last of ‘em?" Joel stretched looking up at me, "I guess so" I smiled "time to relaaaax! It’s been ages since I’ve had a simple walk around without any infected bumping into me” Joel chuckled lightly “I get what you mean baby girl, go on, have your fun, I’ll be here if you need me” I nodded lightly pulling on my backpack and heading for the giant steel gate into what I have left of my childhood and freedom in this fucked up place we call our world...
