Confessions - A cold night

Amy pulled the first box she got her hands on and scoffed it down like it was nothing. Eating everything from stale cereal to uncooked noodles, anything she thought was ok to eat, went into her mouth. When she was done and full she didn't even make a dent in what was left.

"This is incredible" she yelled and listened to it echo through the pantry as she poured the crumbs from the empty bag of cereal down her throat. It had been months if not years since she had eaten this much in one sitting. She slumped back and looked at the empty containers from what she just ate. For a second she felt regret for doing it knowing that food should have lasted a lot longer than it did, but then she straightened her back and thought 'screw it, I was hungry, so I ate, ' and it wasn't like she was going to keep this pantry from the other. She'd tell them when they woke up, well maybe she would just tell Phil and he could tell the others. She still didn't want to talk to them right now.

"Amy?" She heard her name being called from inside the cafeteria. "Amy!?" the voice called again a little louder. The Irish accent gave it away that it was Jack who was looking for her. Amy quickly clicked off her flashlight not wanting to be found and thought about just hiding until he went away. That was until she heard a light bang and a string of curse words escape Jacks lips. She let out a huff, standing up and sliding the flashlight into her side pocket. The light from the bright moon outside barley light up the room, but did so enough that Amy could maneuver into view. As she looked in his direction she caught a glimpse of the door to the room she saw earlier but immediately turned her attention back to Jack.

"Ah, oh there you are" Jack jumped a little not expecting to see her emerge from there and walked closer to the counter. Amy jumped onto it and sat down on the side dangling her feet. She knew there were two options of what was about to go down; 1) he was here to apologize to her, Probably not sincerely but enough to think she'd trust him again or 2) He was there to kill her and steal the jail for him and the others. The fact Amy thought that option was very unlikely made her even more scared of the hold they had on her. She knew the rule that once you start thinking you know someone they tend to do the unexpected. Either way she was ready.

"What do you want, Sean?" Amy asked hoping for a reaction for using his real name but didn't get one.

"I just... um... I couldn't sleep and I just wanted to make sure that you didn't run off into the woods or something." Jack replied stopping in front of Amy.

"Yes because I'm that self-destructive a little argument would make me leave the safety of the indoors," Amy spoke leaving out the part that that was exactly what she was going to do. She pushed herself off the counter and walked up to Jack who took a few steps back. "I'm here. I'm fine. so go." Amy started walking passed Jack but he crossed in front of her.

"What would you have done if you were in my situation, huh? I saw something that I thought was suspicious so yeah I told the other." Jack took another step back noticing Amy clenched her fist.

"Why didn't you ask?" Amy said quietly realizing Jack made a good point.

"If it was something you didn't want us to know about, would you have told us?" Jack threw the question back at her.

"If I felt the need to keep secrets from you guys you wouldn't be staying with us in the first place, but," Amy breathed hating to admit he was right "I get what you mean. Can't trust anyone." Amy responded. She began to realize they were both in the wrong. They shouldn't have looked through her bag but she should have heard them out more.

"We did trust you, we still do, but I needed to make sure. You're right you proved that

you can be trusted I should have just come to you instead of snooping through your bag like that. At least then we could have avoided the gun being pointed at us." Jack took a seat on the table next to him. Seeing Jack dangle his hands on his knees reassured Amy Jack didn't have a weapon on hand so she sat down next to him.
