  We keep bulldozing people. We finally get off and go toward the woods, further out.
  "Keep going!" The guy with me yells.
  I see West limping, tears of joy Come to my eyes.
   I stop and help west.
I grab him into a hug.
"A little further and we will make it. Come on." I push.
I see a truck in the distance.
"Come on!" The guy ushers us.

   We make it to the truck and Relando kisses the driver before getting us all in.
  "I gotta call Trey." He says.
  I look around at the people. It's me, West, Triston, Peter, and Paisley.
The guy who was leading me looks at me.👇

"We will stay at Trey's tonight....if he lets us. Which we will just show up, and maybe we can search the ruins later. Find bodies, people...."
Relando says.
I see Brayden look at me, now known as the hooded guy from the airport.
I cough.
"What?"
"You have ummm..." He wipes his face.
"I have umm?"
"Here, let me get it." West says as he kisses a spot on my face.
I laugh. He had black smudge on his face now.
  A tear falls down my face when the words that Relando said repeat in my head....
"Bodies".....
   What if Ash is in there? What if he is dead!?
  I stare out the window.

"When will we get there?" I ask.
"Maybe at dark..." Jason says.
"Dark? Look, we have been driving since night....I just wanna see my friends." I break down.
   Triston wraps his arms around me as I lean against him.
   "I wanna see my sister! If David hurts her...I'm gonna fuck him up!" Peter yells.
   "We will talk to Trey....he isn't answering his phone and he may be wondering where the fuck I am......so we need to make sure they haven't gotten to him yet.." Relando says.
  "For now...just get some rest." Hannah smiles.
  "Thank you." I touch her shoulder.
