Hope is Dead

Chapter fifty one

Jon reached into a small area between the seats, Craig watched him do so then looked at the road, Jon then pulled out sun glasses and put them on smiling ''How'd you know those were in there?'' Jon smiled looking at the road knowing the last time he looked away didn't go well ''Guessed.'' Craig smiled and looked outside, the other's looked around feeling the heat of the day ''Is there AC in this car?'' Tyler asked sitting up while Evan leaned back with his head over the seat fanning himself with some paper he found.

Jon looked down at the dash and pressed something then felt for air ''Jon!'' he looked up turning the steering wheel fast crashing it into a tree he then froze as the front of the car came in on it's self. Craig turned around ''Everyone ok?'' he asked looking seeing everyone was fine ''Yeah just minor whiplash.'' Lui commented sitting up holding his neck ''Jon?'' Evan asked concerned seeing Jon was still looking front with his hands on the wheel. Evan leaned forward putting his hand on Jon's shoulder snapping him out of it. Jon then got out of the car and leaned on the side while the other got out with him, Evan stood in front of him as he looked at the ground ''It's ok, we'll just walk, it'll be good for Craig's leg.'' Jon looked at him and Evan could tell something was wrong.

Jon then pushed off the car as Tyler and Craig came around, Lui looked to the road seeing what he swerved around to miss and saw nothing was there ''Jon, what were you avoiding?'' Jon looked back then at the road ''A deer...'' he trailed off seeing there was nothing there, he looked around seeing nothing was even around the road ''Are you feeling ok?'' Evan asked grabbing his shoulders ''Craig, didn't you call my name?'' he asked and looked at him and Craig shook his head and Jon took a breath in letting out shutting his eye's for a bit ''Great, I'm going insane.'' he said throwing his hands up and walked onto the road hanging his head, the others were fast to follow him ''That doesn't mean your crazy.'' Evan said walking beside him ''Evan I'm starting to hallucinate things.'' he said and looked around ''Was it Craig's voice you herd?'' he asked and Jon bit his lip before shaking his head.

He then looked down as they walked ''When this all started there was this kid, he was fan and recognized my voice... He got bit after we got in a car wreck.'' Evan looked at him a bit shocked ''I didn't want him turning.'' Jon said almost choking on his words, Evan stopped and pulled him into a hug seeing that tears were threatening his eye's, the other's stopped behind them seeing Jon wrap his arms over Evan's shoulders hugging him tighter ''I-I had to.'' Jon said hugging tighter feeling like he was about to fall, Evan nodded ''I understand.'' Jon pulled away and whipped his tears away ''I promised I'd say hello for him.'' he said and looked down ''What was his name?'' Tyler asked hearing the whole conversation.

Jonathan smiled looking down still moving back from Evan ''Jason.'' he said and looked at them ''Watched his mom die.'' he added and looked down ''Watched a whole group I was with die.'' he said and looked at them, Brock looked down remembering what they just left behind, the two graves and thought about what Jon had to go threw ''He put my dog out of her misery.'' he said and felt the tears coming back ''Buried her by a lake.'' they were silent and Jon bit his lip ''I couldn't burry him.'' he mumbled and leaned forwards resting his head on Evan's shoulder ''He's still out there, laying beside a fucking car.'' he added, Evan wrapped his arm's around Jon who started crying again, Lui looked back wondering where Luke and Marcel were, how far away they were.

Evan looked back at them and nodded for them to start walking so they did patting or rubbing Jon's back as they passed by, Evan then got Jon to move, still holding him close so he was comforting him as they walked down the empty road, Lui kept looking behind them for long amounts of time then back forward looking at the ground ''If your worried about Luke and Marcel don't be.'' Brian mentioned getting Lui's attention ''Their both strong and smart.'' Lui nodded ''I'm not worried, I'm just wondering where they are, we should've waited at Brocks like Jon suggested.'' Brian nodded ''It was to dangerous staying there and Brock.... Needs time away from there to heal.'' Lui looked up seeing Brock was ahead of everyone leading them. He looked back once more seeing Jon and Evan slowly coming closer and sighed turning front again.
