5 Years Till Death

Chapter 7 The Drive.

Do you have any family or friends you would like to see Joanna? "No but even if I did they would probably be dead."

Where's your parents?

"Dead."

"How about you Matthew? Anywhere you would like to go on this beautiful day?" she says that in a sarcastic voice.

Not really, but one of my sisters live in Chicago, and that's only 8 hours away we could get there by dark.

"Matthew don't be stupid. Chicago is a huge city, by now it's a ghost town...I herd the population right now was at 0."

She then starts looking at me in a sincere way and says.

"I'm sorry I didn't..."

Its ok Joanna I should have known.

"Know I think about it my grandpa has a huge country house, at New York we could stop by Chicago then head to New York."

New York is really far away.

"Yes but it's our best chance."

Ok then. You know it's really great having you here.

"Same with you Matthew, it's been to long."

How old are you know?

"Early 14, you."

Late 13.

She looks at me then starts to laugh. "Haha I'm older then you!"

I sinker back. Will I guess that means you have more wrinkles.

"Matthew don't even..."

We drive and drive... Shit I'm almost on E, let's get some gas. We find a gas station and pull over next to a pump.

Joanna you go inside the gas station and get theses things working.

"Ok, what ever you say sexy."

The gas turns on and I start to fill up my car. I go inside the gas station and get 4 enclosed buckets, I fill them up with gas. because I don't want to get stranded anywhere. Ok let's hit the road Joanne.

We get in the car and start to drive... 4 hours later we see the city!

"It's beautiful."

It's a mess, worse then Kansas city.

Where talking and telling jokes when... "BOOM" I don't know what happened after the boom I blacked out, but all I know is I woke up, upside down still buckled up. With blood ruining down me, I look next to me and say, Joanna Joanna?! She was still unconscious, maybe even dead. I see someone walking towards the car, coming out of the darkness. Its a sick one I know it. I just keep hanging and hanging seeing the sick one get closer and closer, then I black out.
