Leola and Ozzie vs. The World

Chapter 22

    We've been driving for a straight day! It took longer than expected because we had to push cars out the road, kill a few zombies, take some bathroom breaks, and fill up for gas allot. I want to get to Palm Bay as quick as possible. I can't handle anymore delays!

    "I have to pee!" Ozzie whined. I rolled my eyes.

    "You just went!" I shouted.

    "And I'm hungry!" She added. I couldn't reply to that. I was hungry too. "Like really really really super ultra hungry!"  She wasn't exaggerating.

    I looked to the side and saw a exit sign. It had a Shell a few miles West. I pulled into the exit but was cut off by abandoned cars that blocked the way. I groaned and banged my head on the wheel.

   After I pushed all the cars out the road, we finally made it to the Shell station.

   It was in the middle of a field of grass and looked broken down. I leaned against the car with Ozzie checking it over. The gas tanks were blown up. The entire outside of the station was destroyed but the inside didn't look as bad.

    "Ok go". I said. Ozzie rushed inside. "Be careful!" I ran after her.

    The glass doors were shattered open so we just stepped inside. The inside was dark but it's shade was cooling. Every shelf was looted clean so that meant there wasn't any food to take. There was a woman's dead body slumped over the counter. Her head was smashed in so she wouldn't come back. This place gave me the chills.

     "Ok Oz, hurry up and pee". I whispered. Ozzie carefully walked to the back of the store and into the bathroom. I carefully explored the station.

   Ozzie came back from the back with a bag of chips. "I found food!" She cheered.

    "Where did you get that?" I asked. Ozzie led me to the back of the store where there were boxes of food sealed in plastic wrap.

   The boxes had holes in them so the food wasn't fresh. Only thing that was in there were stinky cans of fruit. Flies swarmed the boxes because of the raw smell.

   "Ozzie", I whispered. "Put those chips back". She looked disappointed.

    "Huh, why?" Ozzie whined.

    "Something is wrong with this place". "Don't take anything from the store, now get in the car".

    "But I'm hungry!"

    "What did I say!"

     Ozzie stormed off outside stomping her feet and having a fit. I rolled my eyes and followed her to the car.

     We got back on the road still headed for Palm Bay. We rode in silence for half a hour so I'm guessing she's mad at me.

    "Are you mad bro?" I asked peering at the rearview mirror.

    "No". She said. "I don't feel so good tho".

    "Are you telling me you have to pee again?"

    " No...my stomach really hurts". She clutched her stomach and it growled.

    "You're probably just hungry". I suggested.

    "No...I feel- Ozzie threw up on the back of my seat. I slammed on the breaks and looked back at Ozzie. She cried as more chunky vomit exploded from her mouth.

    I ran out the door and opened hers and tried my best to help her.

    It took a hour to help her get cleaned up and then clean the car. Ozzie meant what she said about her stomach. She was really sick. Her forehead was heated, she has a headache,her stomach hurt, and she's had to take allot of bathroom breaks. (Number twos).
