TWO MONTHS LATER
Nothing.
No sign of any normal people,nor army.Only infected.Tones of them.It's so tiring sometimes I just wanna start screaming.He doesn't seem bothered by all this.And even if he is,he does a really good job at hiding it.
The weather thankfully is not as hot as it used to be,and sometimes it even rains.Which is a good thing because at some places it might be muddy,so these sons of bitches won't be able to make it through.But on the other hand it's not so good,because not only the Corpses won't be able to walk around,and neither will we.And now it's even harder to move around.Especially with a motorcycle.We usually find shelter until the rain stops,just like we will probably do now,as I look up at the sky,a grey mixed with green covering up the blue sky from earlier.
Elias sees it as well and pulls over at the first place we see,which is a small drug store.I push the doors open as he pushes the motorcycle in with as.He sets it in the corner of the store,and I start looking around.
This place must have belonged to a happy family.
The counter is filled with family pictures.Two people holding a small child.The child at the age of four.The father holding the child,at the now age of ten.Melancholy fills me at the sight of that picture.
My mother was always the affectionate one so you get the point.My dad was always bothering with his work and projects he worked with mum,she was usually the one that showed me some affection.Even if she was a lot caught up in her work,sometimes even more than dad,she still made some time for me and Adam.But not even her couldn't pull it out by herself.The few toys I had,Adam used to buy them to me for my birthday or whenever he had the chance or the restaurant he worked at had a good day and he got paid extra.But that only happened a few times.
I take my eyes away from the frames,which are splashed with drops of blood.I shake my head-once more-,and go through the shelfs looking aimlessly at the objects sitting on top when I spot something interesting.I reach my hand and grab a little rusty red train.I toss it from one hand to the other careful not to drop and brake it as I stare at it aimlessly.I leave it back down when I hear a loud thunder,scaring me a little bit.Jesus.
"Hey I'm gonna go somewhere real quick and come back alright?"Elias calls out to me and I goes to the entrance of the store.
"Where are you gonna go?It's gonna start pouring soon."
"I'll make it quick.I'll be fine."He says but before I can ask where he was going,he is already out the doors,leaving me sighing.There he goes.
Three hours later,and with still no sign of Elias,I grabb two blankets I find on a small cabinet and leave it down on the floor,where we are going to sleep.I sit down on mine and just wait here.There aren't much things I can do here.I already got any supplies I can carry in my backpack,or wandered down the halls with no purpose at all,trying to occupy myself with something.I even talked to myself at one point.
This is boring.I'm bored.I rub my face with my hands when I hear the doors opening and I quickly get up.In front of me,a dripping wet,freezing,shaking Elias is standing.I immediately grab a towel I find in front of me and run to him.He takes it and wraps it around himself and I rub his arms in a try to help him warm up.
"Where were you?"I ask and he shakes his head not bothering to answer me.He's hiding something from me.But this isn't the time.I'll ask later.Now I think I'm gonna focus on not letting him freeze to death.I go to his backpack that he left here and take out anothet pair of clothes and hand them to him."Wear this."
He grabbs them from my hands and tosses the towel on the floor.He doesn't even care that I'm looking,as he takes of his shirt exposing his hard abs and chest.My eyes travel on his inner arm where there is a tattoe with his sister's name on it.He must have gotten that when he was with the Resistance.
He quickly changes clothes and I snap out of my daydream.I look behind him,and everything has become black now as if night already came,with clouds covering the sky and the rain falling so hard it's like gunshots.Another thing I'm way too familiar with.
Elias sits down at his blanket still shivering a little bit from the cold.I go to look for another blanket to warm him up,but as if he reads my mind,he shakes his head and tells me he's fine.He gets back up again,and starts walking through the store trying to make me believe that he is fine,and like I did,he stops to look at the toy.
"Didn't play much with toys either?"I ask with a bitter smile and he sad chuckles,moving his head up and down two times.He leaves it back down and comes to seat at his blanket,just as I get up and try to walk past him,unsuccessfully,bumping on him.His mesmerizing eyes draw me closer to him,that I don't even realize when we are inches away.My eyes travel from his eyes to his lips and back up.I try to move away,but it's like my body has a mind of it's own,ordering me to stay put.His eyes do the same causing me to have this feeling in my stomach that I just can't shake off.He comes closer and I raise to my toes,wanting to taste his lips so badly...But when his soft lips are so close I can feel them grazing mine,a loud thunder sounds making the both of us pull away.His breath is uneven,and so is mine.None of us say anything.He is the first one to walk away,quickly lying down his blanket turning away from me,and I lie down on mine,forgeting whatever I wanted to do before,still shocked at what had just happened.Or,almost happened.
Did I really want this?Did I really want him to kiss me?No,no it's just my heart playing games.
But the heart doesn't play games Hayley..That's entirely a job for the mind...
I close my eyes telling my thoughts to shut up,trying to fall asleep,but the softness of his lips creeps back up,and I sigh turning to look at Elias,but he has fallen asleep from what I can tell.I should do the same.Or at least,try harder.
Morning comes with a shining sun along it's side,and Elias is already packed and ready to go.I do the same,none of us bold enough to speek to the other.I don't know if he plans to,but I sure as hell know that I won't do the first move at starting a conversation.Not because of pride,but because I'm afraid of I might say something else.
