Chapter Six: Yuanfen

Blaire POV
We packed everything we need and upgraded the van to a huge RV to fit our stuff in, Chloe said to the group,”I don’t think they’ll let us out”
“What do you mean?”
“When Izaak and I tried to leave, we were stopped and forced to stay” She said we were close to the exit on I-84, we saw some zombies walking across, some were in Police Uniforms,”From the looks of it, I think we can just go” So we continued driving along the highway,”Where are we headed now?”
“We need to head South for California”
“California? Why there?”
“Because our leader of The Organization told me that they are headed down there before the snow came” Chloe asked,”Then how do you know that they’re still there?”
“They wouldn’t leave, it’s one of the only places that only has sun all year round and they would need it for Solar Power, they were in progress in installing it, but unfortunately, it couldn’t work, so that’s why they moved it” Dylan said so and I somewhat agreed with him. We got to Portland and we stayed in McMinnville since it was out on the countryside and there would probably be hardly anyone out there, so we would be safe for a little bit. When we got to Portland, oh my God and I thought Lewiston and Clarkston was bad,”Jesus Christ” There were constant walkers on streets and on every block, there was always another survivor eaten by one of them, I told Marilyn not to look, she wasn’t ready to see this on the next level. We drove slowly so that way, they wouldn’t get to us, Missy was already trained to keep quiet when she sees them, instead she whimpered and nuzzled into me as I petted her,”Aw don’t worry, I’m right here Missy, Leo how far?”
“I’m out of Portland, we’re on our way to McMinnville, show me the way and I’ll get us there” I pulled out the map, we made sure we had enough Gas for this RV, Chloe was sleeping, Fynn was reading comic books that he found on here, Marilyn was coloring or attempting, Michelle was just looking out the window, Dylan was in the passenger seat with Leo, I was playing mellow music from another CD, I was relaxing with Missy on one side and Dylan came to me,”Leo is gonna make a stop for those who need to go and stretch their legs out” I nodded, I didn’t know what to say to him,”C’mon Blaire, you can’t possibly be mad at me” I still didn’t say a word to him because I didn’t want to fight in the RV, he walked away and 15 minutes later, Leo stopped and everyone got out except Missy, she was sleeping,”Blaire and I are gonna talk, we’ll be back, we have a walkie talkie on us” Leo nodded and we went behind a building making sure there weren’t any zombies which surprisingly, there weren’t, it was almost sunset,”Blaire why are you mad at me?”
“I don’t know, maybe because you took Angela’s side instead of mine when you were with me longer than her. It’s like you believed a word that she was saying so much that she almost turned you against me” He groaned,”Blaire, I was completely over my head, I knew you had anger issues, but I didn’t think that she would twist it around, otherwise, she’s dead and gone, why are you still holding onto this?”
“I trusted you a lot on this, you found me and I didn’t trust you, but as time went on, I began trusting you more and more on this then just like that, you let an adolescent with mental issues take advantage of you” I crossed my arms and looked down,”You hurt me Dylan, more than you know. You should know that when we were first stuck together, I've had many opportunities running from you to go back there, but I didn’t because do you want to know why?” He shook his head,”Why? Why Blaire? I want to know why you are the one playing sick games with me” He got close to me and I answered,”Because I’m in love with you so much that I’m afraid if I ever said it to you, we would be more and we would only focus on each other and not the group. I was also afraid that if I never said it to you, you would never know and I would hate myself ever for not telling you, there? Are you happy? I never played games with you, Angel was the one that did" He looked at me into his eyes as I had a lump forming in my throat,”You hurt me by turning against me, you don’t understand how much that hurts me and I don’t think you ever will. Now you know why I wasn’t talking to you about how I was really feeling” I walked away from him and Dylan grabbed me and kissed me, we pulled apart, I shook my head
”A kiss is not gonna help all this, where was that kiss before Angela?” I walked away from him this time knowing that he has the walkie talkie on him, I headed back to the RV early and just sat there with Missy, maybe I shouldn’t have given him that much shit for that, but what I said was true and this was not what I needed right now, but I knew it was going to happen anyway, I went outside to go on lookout, Michelle came back and watched with me,”Boys in the back are just goofing around”
“That’s okay, there isn’t much around here anyway, from what I remember was that there was a Ferry that could take us somewhere more secluded and peaceful until-”
“We get back on our feet, honestly, why do we do this? We have a location, we should go straight to it” She was right, but if we had a train and a map, yes please, but we are on a RV,”Michelle, we need all the comfort that we deserve for driving 3-5 hours, there’s not enough beds for us in there, you never know what could happen, like Leo could fall asleep and drive off the road then we could all die, the RV is what fits for all of us” She didn’t see it that way, but that’s okay,”So what did Dylan want to talk about?”
“The Angela situation and us” She groaned lightly,”So I assume that he couldn’t take anymore of the silence when he tried talking to you about it?” I nodded as I leaned back,”And I told him how I felt about him, he kissed me and I pushed him away”
“Why? I’ve known that you two have feelings for each other, why though?”
“Because I was afraid that if I did tell him and we started dating, we would only look out for each other and only each other. I was also afraid that if I didn’t tell him, I would regret it if he died” I guess she understood until,”Blaire I’ve seen you two when you work together, I’ve seen the spark and I’m sure you two would actually look out for each other a whole lot more just as much as you would look out for this group and otherwise, we all know how this is going to end, it’s just a survival of the fittest and so far, we seemed to be surviving okay so far”
“I’m just scared of losing him on this, but it wasn’t just that, he sided with Angela about my anger issues, I mean I’m aware that I have them, but I would never...I would never hurt any of you, I know how to control it and otherwise I know what would happen if I ever did lose control, I would go through paralysis”
“What?” I explained it to her, she understood and now she knows why I tend to be calm because I don’t want to lose control like that every single day like the other people out there are right now, it’s like every minute, another zombie is born, the human population is decreasing, Michelle’s walkie talkie went off,”Yeah?”
“Is Blaire with you?” It was Dylan and she handed me that as I groaned, she whispered into my ear,”You can’t stay mad at him forever” She went back inside the RV, I clicked the button,”I’m here”
“Hey Blaire, I just want you to know that I understand everything that you’ve said and….I’m okay with it, if you don’t feel the same way about me, that’s fine” I didn’t say a word except,”It’s okay, for now we need to get out of this area to get to a more secluded area”
