It was you (The Walking dead story)

Chapter 22

We hear a slight rumbling and all run to the windows. Rick has returned along with Daryl and more people on a faded blue bus that I saw besides the prison yesterday. I can make a few faces from the dirty windows, and a few of them are crying, crying from happiness or sadness , I don't know.

The bus comes to a stop, and I see Rick getting up from the driver seat and talking to the other people. His hand movements are a little easy to make out, he points to the fence, and then to us. He then heads towards the bus doors and all of the other survivors get up, as if on cue.

The doors open, and he gets out. I press my nose to the windows thick glass and try to see any people of my age. I look at Carl and he seems to be doing the same. An old lady gets off and she looks fragile at first, but I notice her hands are formed to fists and I have second thoughts.

Behind her a girl that has to be about eleven or twelve.She looks around at her surroundings, I thought she looked at us through the windows but I remember they're one-way glasses.

A few people,around a dozen, all got off too. Only two of them are around my age, the girl and a boy with rectangular glasses.

<-------------«

"My name's Jordan." The girl began. Rick made all the new people introduce themselves to us. Beth showed absolutely zero interest in all this, but we all knew this was good for us. For our chances of surviving.

She continued: "I'm twelve years old, Patena-" she pointed at the old lady I had seen earlier "- is the one who has helped me live since the whole thing happened."

Patena shook her head no but you could tell she was flattered.

"I think that's about it." She looked at Rick and he excused her. She took her seat and the next person begun.

<------------«

I was exhausted from being outside , killing walkers all day and running back and forth making sure the new people had everything they needed.

'Nobody did this for me.' I thought.

But at last it was night, and we could all go rest. I said goodnight to everyone and headed towards my cell when Carl stopped me to give me a goodnight hug.

I saw Jordan standing in my cell with her arms clutching a thin blanket. Her lips were pursed and she looked around.

"Can I help you?..." I asked.

She looked at me and placed her hand on her chest. "Oh gosh , you scared me." She lowered her hand. "Rick told me we would be sharing roo- I mean cells." She shook her head slightly towards her own mistake.

I groaned a little but only I heard it. I took her thin blanket and threw it on the top bunk. "You're top." I said and threw myself on my bed. She stood there as if she hadn't seen anything so 'rude' in her life. She finally moved and started to climb the metal stairs that were on the bottom edge of the bed.

Memories came back to me of how I shared a bedroom with my sister and I bite my lip to prevent from screaming a cry.
