May 6th: The End of the World, Northbridge Hospital

     "Where's Lea?" I repeated, mumbling under my breath so my pounding headache wouldn't get any worse. Sometime in-between all the chaos I must have passed out again, I was now in a brightly lit hospital room. I was hooked up to a whole bunch of different machines, each one doing something different. The hospital bed I was lying in was uncomfortable, and the room overall smelled sickeningly clean. As the pounding in my head lessened, one of the many nurses that surrounded me decided to answer my only question.

     "She's alright," he replied reassuringly. "Now you took a rather hard hit to the head, do you remember your name?"

     "Penelope,"

     "Penelope? Alright, do you know what today is?"

     "Is Lea okay? Is she injured?"

     "She's fine," he replied once again. "Do you know what today —"

     "I have to go see her," I said standing up quickly from the bed, unhooking wires and machines on the way. My wrist was broken yet I didn't care at the moment. "Well?" I asked one of the nurses, I was determined to get to Lea, and out of the hospital, we still needed to get away, and being injured didn't change that.

     "Room two forty-seven,"

     Room two forty-seven. Second floor. I could make it in five minutes if I hurried. I rushed up to her room to see her already up and ready to leave.

     "Great minds think alike," she said making her way over to me, we went to the lobby, grabbed our stuff at the front desk, and made our way out.

     "I can text Liam to give us a ride," I said grabbing my phone

     "No, you can't," She replied

     "Right, Well do you have any ideas?"

     "Yeah just give me a second..."

     "So I guess we're getting there on foot?" I asked slipping my jacket on before putting my phone in my bag.

     "Unless you want me to drive again... yes," Azalea replied. We started walking up the road. " I probably need to get a couple of bandages. We should stop at the store. There's one about a mile from here,"

     "But wouldn't that make us an easier target?" I asked in response. She didn't answer me. Which meant everything was falling into place quite nicely. I knew I was going to be gaining new followers by the day. Starting the revolution. "You know, us, out in the open. It's like we're walking around with a target on our backs just waiting to be found,"

     "You're right, I guess, but do you really think he'd be able to find us that easy?"

     "Trust me, I know Cass a lot better than you do, he has his ways,"

     We kept walking for about fifteen minutes before we finally made it to our destination. It was this small little bakery, It smelled like fresh-baked banana bread and blueberry muffins. It was a lot like the one she and her family would go to every few Sundays. It was a pleasant little bakery with a pastel blue theme to it. The seats were all set around little tables and each table had small round rug underneath it. "This place, It's beautiful," I said with a small smile.

     "Best bakery in New York right here, Alex, Nat, and Khloe will be here in a few minutes,"
