Hope is Dead

Chapter fifty two

Marcel looked up at the sky that was darkening as the stars and moon came out, he moved his arm and head from the window rolling the said window down feeling the cool breeze hit his face, he smiled and put his head back on the seat, Luke glanced at him smiling and looked to the road again ''Sleep.'' he said basically ordering, Marcel shook his head ''Nah.'' Luke smiled and looked around at the empty road ''Sleep.'' Marcel turned to him ''I cant.'' he said knowing Luke was only looking out for him.

''I don't need you fainting, again.'' Marcel smiled shaking his head ''That was because I didn't drink anything.'' Luke looked in the back while Marcel turned to him seeing him bring a water bottle, he gave it to Marcel continuing to drive, Marcel sighed and opened it taking a sip before lowering it ''Hey, car.'' Luke looked over on his side and pulled over, Marcel shut the bottle and got out running to the said car and saw the smoke wrapping around the tree the hood was wrapped around. He looked inside while Luke made it to him ''They were here.'' he said going around and opened the side door looking around ''Marcel anybody could've crashed this car.'' Luke tried explaining, Marcel got in and looked around ''No, they had to be in this car.'' he said and moved to the front looking under the dash on the drivers side and saw it was a hot wired car.

''This means there on foot now.'' he said and looked at him, Luke sighed ''Tell me why you think this was from them?'' he asked looking at him as Marcel got out of the car, Marcel held up a small bracelet ''This is Lui's.'' Luke took it and looked at it and nodded ''Let's go.'' he said went back to the car, Marcel jogged after him, they got in the truck and Luke started driving ''They couldn't of gotten far right?'' Marcel asked looking at him, Luke nodded ''Their on foot so yeah.'' he said and Marcel smiled having a good feeling about finding them.

As they were driving the sun went down more, Luke turned the headlights on to light up the road so they wouldn't hit anything or anyone, Marcel thought about something then looked at Luke ''Did Jonathan ever ask about Evan?'' Luke glanced at him then back at the road ''Why?'' he asked a bit confused, Marcel shrugged ''Just thought I could have something to make Evan's life a bit happier.'' Luke smiled ''Don't worry, Evan already asked about Jon.'' Marcel looked at him ''Really?'' Luke nodded ''Didn't think anyone else knew he had a crush.'' Marcel chuckled ''All he told me was that he liked him a lot, told Lui as well, said we were the only one's he trusted with that information.'' Luke chuckled with a wide smile.

''Yeah, Jon has a crush on him as well, I know both aren't gonna saw anything.'' Marcel nodded with a smile ''Yeah there very awkward.'' Luke nodded biting his lip and thought about something ''How often did you and Simone fight?'' Marcel's smile faded before Luke spoke, it felt quiet in the truck ''Almost every day, about different stuff.'' Luke glanced at him for longer this time before looking back at the road ''Do you mind if I ask what about?'' Marcel shook his head ''One day it would be about my job and how I didn't pay enough attention to her, the next would be her accusing me of no longer loving her.'' Marcel explained and looked outside ''The day she told me that my performance in bed was the worst it's ever been I asked her if she loved me anymore.'' he added and looked down at his dash ''She said no.'' he said and played with the stings of his sweat pants.

Luke sighed and looked around ''Bullshit.'' he mumbled so Marcel couldn't hear him, he reached over and put the radio back on hearing the same voice on *Announcement, for those coming to the safe zone in Arizona, you must go around the main road for it is to crowed with reanimated people. Announcement, for those coming to the safe zone in Arizona, you must go around the main road for it is to crowded with reanimated people.* it kept repeating, Marcel turned it down while Luke slowed down the truck right before a turn onto a dirt road ''No, we can't leave the main road.'' Luke looked at him ''The guy's are still on this road Luke.'' Luke looked forward down the road ''Marcel what if they herd the announcement before they crashed, even if that was their car back there.'' Marcel turned facing him ''What if they turned, if they were on foot what if they decided to play it safe and stay off the road?'' Luke said stopping Marcel before he could even start.

Marcel stared at him ''Do you trust me?'' Luke asked staring into his eyes, Marcel didn't know what the feeling was that he felt, he sat back down and looked outside ''Yes.'' Luke then drove forward and turned onto the side street, Marcel looked down the road back at where he wishes they had went but was still hoping to find the guys on the new road they were taking.
