Well shit. How did Ceylon ever slept against this wall of bags not to mention the snoring. I can't believe it's morning already I'm sure I haven't slept more than an hour.
But it was good to hear that Newt and Ceylon tried to make things less awkward between them,though I was afraid she was going to shoot him.
I rub my eyes as I pack up my things, the storm is gone and we have some miles to make. But Aaliya and Jessica are making it difficult to concentrate on anything and when you're exhausted even paking a bag seemed like an impossible task.
"Kids behave or I'm shooting someone" I mutter but still loud enough for them to hear.
"Yeah you are good at that these days" Jessica snaps at me earning a few gasps from the people around.
"Ah that is why you are so quiet" I signed suddenly seeing the big picture "you're mad at me" I continue, surprised at how calm I sounded.
"If it weren't for you, Riley would be with us" she accused crossing her arms, her eyes full of hurt and anger.
"If it weren't for me she would have turned into a monster by now" I answer her. "Is that what you think of me, some crazy murderer?"
"You tell me! I don't see you being sad about it and guilty people never are" Jessica barks back at me.
I stare at her in shock, fighting back tears. I will not let her get under my skin.
"Of course I feel guilty you nit wit" I stammer and I take a breath to even my voice "I am supposed to protect you and I failed. But I can't stay hung up on it, Riley is gone and you are all still here. So sorry if I don't break down and cry but when did I ever?"
"Futher more I won't let you use me as an outlet for your emotions, I know your sad but don't take it out on me" I rant unable to stop myself but she's pushing it.
"Yeah cause that is what Jessica does right? I always take it out on people you all can have your emotions but when I say something I am whining" she exaggerated probably throwing all her apparent pent up frustration at me.
"But when good leader Rhain puts a bullet through our friend it's all fine" she continues her voice getting even louder.
"What should I have done, left her to die by their hands? Or let her become one, oh no even bette I would have brought her with me and she could suffer while you could have some fee extra hours with her?" I accuse her. Is her own feelings that much more important or doesn't she understand the situation we were in.
"I don't know" she houts back her hands thrown in the air as a sign of defeat.
"Of course you don't when things aren't about you, you don't seem to care" I blurt out before I can stop myself.
She looks at me in utter shock, tears in her eyes but it quickly turns to anger. She grabs back and storm out. Emme tries to grab her arm but Jessica shoves her away.
After a few seconds of silence Newt cleara his throat "is this going to happen every day?" He teases and Aris and frypan try their hardest not to snicker to loud.
"No of course not you shuck" Ceylon retorts but she doesn't sound to sure of herself. Understandable she and Jessica usually fight. Well Jessica always fights with people but this was bew eveb for her, and almost never against me.
I loo around and through a broken window I see her just sittig outside. Good ahe is still close and most likely will still follow us.
I sigh deeply as I tub my eyes. This way we are not going to make some miles. I clear my throat ans compose myself as good as I can.
"Right uhm sorry about that, shall we just go?" I force a smile and grab my back walking towards the door.
"Pfft girls" i hear one of the boys mutter. One of them chuckles, put of the corner of eye O see that it's Aris.
"You have no idea" he says grinning before everyone gets moving as well.
We look over the sand wasteland and I have to admit that I'm not very sure which way is yhe best way.
I hear footsteps behind me, I turn around and see Thomas walking up to me "you ok?" He asks but before I can answer we hear a sound in the distance not the screams of cranks but more like a rapid chopping like sound.
"Quickly hide" Thomas yells and he puts his hand on my lower back guiding me back to the building. I quickly look around and see that Ceylon has Emme and is followed by Newt and Aris while Aaliya and Fry drag Jessica back inside. Just as we are all inside a big machine flies over. I'm guessing the guys have heard it before. The sound is so deep and loud that it makes the building shake, so hard that I even feel my bones shake.
Ceylon and I dart outside as sk as kt far enough to see where it's going. We can see it descending somewhere in the distance. WCKD must be there.
"I think we should go and check it out" Ceylon says shrugging her backpack on her shoulders.
"I think that sounds like a wonderful idea" we hear a voice say behind us and I already know its Newt, his accent is easy to remember.
"Well if we move a bit faster we can make up for the lost time" Thomas says clapping Newt on the shoulder as he passes him.
"Yeah the horror that we lost an whole hour" Ceylon deadpans.
"Well maybe we should let you run since it was all your fault we lost the hour in the first place" Newt shot back with a grin. Oh if he only knew she used to be a runner.
"Trust me Newt she can take you on any day" Emme says proudly earning a quick hug from Ceylon. I look back at Jessica but I see she hangs back on purpose so she van have some distance between us. Well maybe I should wait then before I say that I'm sorry. I have to make sure that I'm not again the reason for our delay.
