Just Like The Stars Above, With A Side Effect

Chapter 15

Clayton's Pov: Me and Jessica clear a path through the mall in the Land Rover after packing up to load everything up. When we reach the circle of stores we heard Thomas and Sam fighting, so I bolted up the stairs just to see Sam pull out her knife and Thomas swing his hand backhanding Sam to the ground. As soon as she hit the ground I put him on the ground with the butt of my rifle. She was still on the ground so I picked her up the way I did when she was sick and I sat her in the passengers seat. I went back and drug Thomas down the stairs and chunked him in the back, then I hopped in the drivers seat as Jessica climbs in the back seats in front of Thomas. I backed out of the store and on the road Sam started to cry, so I stopped the car yanked the console up and had Sam lay on my lap.

Sam's Pov: After Thomas had slapped me I didn't know what to think or do. I just laid there until Clayton eventually picked me up and sat me in the passengers seat. I kind of just sat there until the back was opened and Clayton threw Thomas in then him and Jessica got in. A little before we got on the road I thought of the way me and Thomas were before and I started to cry. Clayton heard me so he stopped the car yanked the console up and had me lay on his lap. It was comfortable and helped a lot but I can't help but cry.

Jessica's Pov: What the fuck does he think he is doing, he's with me yet she is laying on his lap! You know what, it takes two to play this game. Thomas is starting to wake up so I jump in the back with him to help wake him up. Once he is fully awake I get a towel and pour some water on it and wipe the blood from his face.Then I look at him, grab his shirt, and I kiss him hard until Clayton eventually looks back at us and gets angry as I just grin at him. Next thing I know as soon as he looks forward he yells and the car swerves and flips stopped by a deer and me and Thomas hit the back seats hard and Clayton leaps in front of Sam and pushes her back against the seat and flies out the windshield. The car comes to a halt on it's left side. Thomas is next to me and Sam is in the front seat but Clayton isn't in the car, so I rush up and jump out of the Land Rover ignoring my pain. I stand up on the side of the flipped Land Rover and there is Clayton laying what seemed lifelessly on the ground. "This is all my fault what if he's dead because of me!" I think as I rush to his body and slowly roll him over. He looks terrible, his right arm is broken as well as his left leg. His right side is all is all scraped up and bloody from sliding on the road. I lay my head on his chest and hear a slight but definite heart beat. I hear footsteps and Sam is standing by the flipped Land Rover with tears in her eyes as she whimpers "What did you do...
