Chapter 19

~Camille~
I woke up crammed in between Kirsten and Crawford. Chris was leaning on me and Karisma was beside him in front on me. I shook them awake.
"I'm getting claustrophobic!" I yelled at them. We all crawled out.
"What a night." Kirsten mumbled. The rain hadn't held up. It was still pouring.
"We gotta keep walking." Chris said. We kept walking through streets and streets. The rain started to stop and it started to get a little warmer.
"We going the right way Kirs?" I asked. She nodded.
"Okay." I said. We kept walking. I was starting to get hungry.
"Yo Chris, can we eat something?" I asked. He pulled the backpack off his shoulder, and pulled out a McDonald's bag. He took out a pack of fries for everyone.
"Thanks bro." I said. I pulled out my phone. I'm trying to use less battery as possible. But I need, to hear Shawn's voice again. I dialled his number. After 3 rings, he picks up.

"Shawn." I say into the phone.

"Oh my god I never thought I would hear your voice again!" He screamed. I smiled.

"I miss you so much." I say. Tears started forming in my eyes.

"I miss you too. And Esther. She hasn't been eating." He muttered.

"What?! But she'll die if she doesn't!" I yell into the phone.

"You need to tell her to eat." He tells me.

"Put her on the phone." I say. I hear Shawn call her to him.

"Someone wants to talk to you, Esther." He says to her.

"Hello?" She says.

"Esther." I say.

"Hi Cami!!!!!!! I miss you so much!!! When are you coming home?" More tears welled up in my eyes.

"You know, I don't know. But I will." I say, with small tears running down my face.

"Oh okay." She says.

"So Esther. What have you eat today?" I ask her.

"A cookie." She answers easily.

"What time is it?" She sounded like she was talking to Shawn for a second, then she answered,

"3:00!"

"Esther! You've only eaten a cookie today." I heard a small shift of the phone, meaning she nodded.

"Well, you are gonna eat more, and that is an order from me." I say.

"Okay." She mumbles.

"Okay. You can go play now." I heard Esther give Shawn his phone back, then ran off.

"Has she been trouble?" I asked in concern.

"No. We talk her out every day, so she gets exercise. Other than that, she loves everything. The Griers have come a few times, to help us get through without you, so Esther gets to play with Skylynn."

"That's great!" I exclaim. My phone makes a small beeping sound, which means it's gonna die soon.

"My phone is gonna die. I love you Shawn, so so much." I say.

"I love you too. Please come home!"

"As quick as I can. Goodbye." I say and hang up. It took me 4.8 seconds to realize I was crying. Crawford had put his arm around my neck.

"It'll be okay. It's gets better. You'll see them again." He said.

"But what if I don't?" I say.

"You will. We're getting you there." That shut me up pretty well.
