Chapter 30:
Ash's POV:
We fight off all of the zombies and slowly recollect everything.
"Cars are ready to go. We need to move fast before something else happens," Carlie picks up a bullet shell and twirls it around in her hand. "I think we may need to stock up on ammunition if we can at all." The shell hits the ground with a tiny clink. "We may need it."
Everyone looks at each other before walking to the car without saying another word.
"Just follow me and we will take a break in the next town to loot things," Lea says climbing into the drivers seat of another car. Liam and I get into the front of the one next to it. Everyone else files into the other seats.
The cars start moving and everyone starts talking. My hand slowly snakes over to Liam's hand; the one that's not on the wheel.
My other hand rummages through my bag and grabs out a notebook and pen.
Hello myself,
There has been a lot going on now. Things just keep happening and happening. Bex left, I'm not sure why. She told us not to look for her. I feel like it's my fault. But again I think she left on her own terms. I hope she comes back. I hope she's okay. But that's all I can do. All I can do is hope. That's not doing anything and I feel bad. We're going to the New York dome to stop some guys plan. I can't remember his name. I can't remember much anymore anyway. I don't think anyone can. The only thing I can remember is the people around me. But still that isn't good. Bex's family is the names I still can't remember. I think her brother is Max and her fiancé is Reed. Maybe it isn't maybe it is. Maybe it's the other way around. Who knows. I feel like an idiot asking Liam what their names are. He gladly helps me but I still feel bad for doing it. "Liam what's their name again?" "It's Max hon." It makes me sound dumb even though Liam says it's fine. It really isn't. My memory being horrible isn't fine. At first I had short term memory loss but now it's long term. Maybe even Alzheimer's. Hopefully it's nothing that's bad. Everyone is making a lot of noise in the car. They chat about random things that aren't on the situation that we're in. Maybe asking about where we're at every thirty minuets. We have two days of non-stop driving to do. With stops it may take us three to four days. That's a lot of days. We don't have that. We have to mess up L's ex's plan to ruin the world. Which may not happen if we keep taking so long. We're going at 90 mph when we can. We still have to stop to loot food and ammunition. I shouldn't think about that. I should be sleeping. I haven't got much sleep because everyone get nightmares and I spend my time calming the people who are close to my room. Sometimes I just spend my night calming myself or Liam or he calms me. Everyone takes a turn. We still all get up at dawn and sleep at around midnight. But who cares? I don't, I don't think anyone does. But someone does care that I'm writing this down. They say it will just make me more insane. But I think it makes me more sane. I guess time will tell.
I'll write to you later,
-Ash
I roll down the window and rip up the piece of paper and throw it out. Watching them fly backwards I roll the window up and sit back properly in my seat.
"Why do you always rip them up?" Sam asks.
"They're my thoughts and I can do what I want to them. Only heaven knows what I wrote," I give him a weak smile. "You want to do the same? It helps keep you sane."
"Um, I don't know how to," he frowns.
"What do you mean?" I look at him confused.
"I don't know how to read or write. No one ever taught me. Andy is trying to teach me." He gives me a weak smile.
"Oh. Well I hope you learn soon," I look forward again avoiding his awkward gaze. "How long until we're there?" I ask Liam.
"A long time love," he keeps his eyes on the road.
"Good. Nap time," I say closing my eyes and soon drifting off to sleep.
