I walked farther into the forest and saw nothing . I walked until i heard footsteps .

" Who are you ? " The guy asked

" I'm aly . "

" Why are you here ? " He asked

" I was looking for food and water . I haven't ate in a week . "

" Who are you ? " I asked him

" Will . " Was all he said as he walked away . I tried to keep up but lets be honest when you haven't ate anything in a week you don't have a lot of energy . But this will guy was cute . The way his blue eyes sparkled in the sun , the way his hair fell just the right way , his olive skin tone . We reached these 2 tents . He went under this rope of cans and went into one of the tents i went under it also and sat on one of the logs . He came back out with 2 cans of corn and a water bottle and handed it to me .

" Thanks . " I said

" No problem . " He said as he sat on the bench across from me

" Are you all alone ? " I asked him

" I dont know my dad went on a run a week ago and hasnt came back yet . " He said

" Oh sorry to hear that. " I said

" Are you all alone ? " He asked

" Yah been surviving by myself all this time , not doing so good though . " I said

" Tell me about it . " He said

" Tell me about yourself . " he said

" What do you want to know ? " I asked

" Anything you wanna tell me . " He said

" Well my name is Aly Ray Winston , I'm 14 , i lived in the country part of the town for all my life , Ive done gymnastics all my life . And i have no family left . " I said

" What happened to your family ? " He asked

" Those things got em . " I said

" Now you tell me about yourself . " I said

" Well my names William Jay Wellington , Will for short , I'm 15 ,i lived in the mid country had to take a bus every morning , I've done multiple sports , and i don't even know if my family's gone . " He said

" Wellington ? " I asked

" Wellington .'' he stated

" Where have i heard that before ? " I asked

" School . "

" School ? You don't go to my school . " I said

" Really cause i knew your sister , i knew your mom and i knew your dad . " He said

" How ? " I asked

" My parents knew your parents . " He said

" How come I've never seen you ? " I asked

" You were always at gymnastics , right after school to 9:00 pm all week . " He said

"Oh . " I said

" But wait . You knew Penelope and you didn't bother helping her . You watched !! Like everyone else , you knew her personally !! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT !! " I screamed

" Well thats because i didn't ! " he said

" I wasn't there ! My dad had picked me up . " He said . Penelope knew this kid , but never mentioned him .

Wills POV;

I knew i had heard the last name Winston . Penelope was my best friend . I had always heard stories about Aly , always saw pictures but i have never seen her in person until now . She's even more beautiful then the pictures her eyes even sparklier her hair even shinier , and now shes sitting across from me. But now its silent , i guess it was a comfortable silence .

" I think I'm full . " She said

" Ok . " I said looking away into the forest .

" Shh get in the tent quietly . " I say

" Why ? " She whispers

" Just do it . " I say as i watch her go in the tent and zip the door up .I climb the tree and see 4 guys . 3 of them carrying bags and the 4th not carrying one at all . They looked in my tent first and saw nothing they went for the tent Aly was in . I shot 2 in the head and let the others watch to see where i was . I shot the other two and hopped down . I dragged there bodies away and called Aly .

" You can come out now . " I say

" What was that ? " She asks before she gets out

" People trying to steal my stuff . " i said

" So you kill them ? " She asked

" Thats what you do in the new world . "

" Thats not what you do you help each other Will ! " She said

" Grow up those days are over . " I said . She slowly unzipped the tent and hopped out looking at the bags on the ground

" Those are mine ! " She says

" How do you know ? " I ask

" Look at the tags . " She said . And sure enough there her name was on all bags , there was even a gymnastics bag that had her name in graved with jewels .

" Where did you get all this stuff ? " I ask

" I had it in the beginning . " she said

" You did not have this . " I say

" Really then why is my first and last name on it dumbass . " she said

" Sorry asshole . " I said . She just grabbed her bags and started walking away .
