ship.”
“ I thought you were on the ship too?” I asked.
“ Yes I was…” He said.
I looked him in the eyes and started to hit his chest and cried.
“ Why did you do that! Why did you get off of that damn ship! You’re here know and your family is up their! Why would you do that!” I screamed at him.
“ I couldn’t leave you,” He cried.
He held my arms and I stared at him and fell into his arms and he held me.
“ I love you!” He cried.
“ I love you too,” I stifled.
Ryan Is the only one I have left know. Everyone else is gone. My whole life is gone, and it will never be the same again. Will people really come back for us or leave us all here to die off one by one. I can’t lose Ryan. Why did he come back for me. know it will even be harder when he dies and I lose the last person in my life. I felt so hollow and it didn’t matter what happened in the world nor my life anymore. Nothing matters anymore. I was left here with everyone else to die.
“ Where gonna be alright,” Ryan said.
“ Are we?” I mumbled.
He took my shoulders and stared at me.
“ I will always be here for you. I will never leave your side,” I said.
“ Promise?”
“ I promise and hope to die.”
I hugged him and felt tears build up in my eyes. We sat with one another and we had no one else except for one another. The whimpering of others loaning for their loved ones filled the air.
“ Where are we going to go?” I cried.
“ To your house I suppose,” He said.
I nodded my head. He stood up and helped me up and wrapped his arms around me and we stumbled forward. My whole body felt numb, and my heart has been broken into millions of pieces. We walked past people who were crying. They looked at us and continued to weep. I clenched onto Ryan and he looked at me.
“ Don’t worry am not going to let you go,” He said.
“ Markey wasn’t supposed to let go of my hand, but he did,” I yelled.
“ He didn’t mean to! He didn’t mean too….”
I cried and barred my face into Ryan’s chest. We continued to walk. Everything was quit and dead. All of the houses where vacant and the streets where empty. We slowly approached the house and I hesitated and looked at it. I’m coming back to my home, but there is no ma, pa, Markey, Dylan, or Adonia. It’s only me and Ryan from now on. Ryan tugged my arm and I continued to walk. As I opened the door the smell of home filled the air and my eyes filled with tears. Ryan sat on the couch and wandered into my ma and pa’s room. I swept my hand across their dresser and sat on the edge of their bed and started to cry. I sit there and cry for the loss of my family.
Ryan slowly walked in and stood by the door.
“ What know?” I cried.
“ Don’t worry,” He whispered.
He came next to me and cradled me within his arms and I felt safe and warm. I felt love.
“ We’ll make it,” Ryan said.
“ How do you know that?” I asked. “ How do you know well make it?”
“ Because I would never let anything happen to you.”
“ That’s regarding me. not you.”
“ As long as your safe and happy I’ll be fine.”
I didn’t know what to say from that. We sat on the bed together, and then I slowly fell asleep in his arms.
My eyes opened and I felt myself wrapped in-between Ryan. I looked at him and slowly removed his arms from around me and got off from the bed. He was asleep, so I covered him with a blanket, and quietly walked out of the room. As I walked down the hall I stopped in front of a picture of me and my family. My hand touched my ma’s face and then my pa’s. I looked at my brother and tears filled my eyes, and then I looked at Adonia and I felt my heart crush. I lost my baby sister. Tears flew down my face and I ripped the picture off of the wall and held it in my arms next to my heart and fell against the wall and cried. I held the picture with me, so I wouldn’t forget them. I slowly peeled the frame off in the back, and took out the picture and folded it over and put it in my sweater pocket.
I got on my knees and looked down the hall and smelled morning breakfast and walked into the kitchen in a daze. When I got in their it was empty and dead.
“ Only my imagination,” I muttered.
I sat at the table where I usually sit and looked around at the others chairs imaging my family sitting there. I looked outside and saw a group of people walking down the street. There must have been about three hundred people. I looked at the faces but did not recognize any of them. I lived by all of the forest. A huge land. As they walked a saw a little girl collapse and people gathered around her. I got up from the chair and walked outside. I stood on the stairs and gazed at them. As I looked around one boy caught my eye and we just stared at one another. I heard a mother start to cry and looked at her holding her little daughter. I could see from where I was standing she was shacking because she was so cold. But it’s not cold out, but she is cold because she must of gotten the virus. I ran inside and found one of my old winter jackets and ran back outside. As I made my way through the crowd someone pushed me and I fell forward and fell something jab into my knee and I cried out in pain. I gripped onto the jacket. I sat there and looked at my knee. A piece of glass was jabbed into my knee and I tore it out and clenched my teeth. I need to get this coat to that girl. As I stood back up in agony and limed over to her and held out the jacket. The mother looked at me and took the jacket and wrapped her daughter in it. She looked at me and tears filled her eyes.
“ Thank you,” She said.
I smiled. I walked back through the crowd and started for the stairs. I tripped on something and since I couldn’t put any weight on my right leg I stumbled forward and hit it on a log. I clenched my teeth and gripped my leg. Someone’s hands was on my shoulder and I looked up and saw the same boy.
“ Are you okay?” he asked.
I couldn’t speak because of the unbearable pain I was in. My hands tightened around my leg. He saw my paints soaked in blood.
“ You hurt!” He cried.
“ I’m. Fine,” I spat out.
“ No you’re not! There is blood everywhere!”
“ Shhh. Who are you? That group your in?” I asked
“ We all decided to join together as a family because we didn’t want to go through this alone,” He said looking at all of them.
“ How long have ya’ll been walking?” I asked.
“ About a day,” He said.
“ It’s already been a day?” I mumbled.
“ We would have been farther but we all gathered as we walked. I’m not from around here. I live about an hour away. As our group walked people just joined us.”
“ Do any of you need to use the bathroom? Or something to drink?” I asked.
“ We all do.”
“ You can come to my house. But only like twenty or thirty people at a time because I can’t fit everyone at once. But I do have enough food.”
“ That’s very kind of you. I’ll tell them.”
He turned to the group and started to shout for their attention they all stopped and looked at him.
“ if anyone needs to use the washroom, get water or food, do it know because this lady said we could at her home,” He screamed.
I saw smiles and people started to walk towards the door and some sat on logs and the kids played around in the forest.
“ My name is Celeborn,” He said.
“ Celeborn?” I asked.
“ It means silver tree. I don’t know why they named me that, but they did,” Celeborn laughed.
I smiled, “ I am Laura. Plain name.”
“ No its pretty.”
“ Thanks.”
“ let’s get you inside. Your hurt.”
I nodded my head and started to get up and fell backwards and Celeborn caught me.
“Let me carry you.”
Before I could even protest he picked me up and started up the stairs. When we got into my house their where so many people you could hardly move. I saw Ryan standing their flabbergasted looking at all of the people and then he saw me and ran towards me.
“ What’s happening?” He asked.
“ I’ll tell you later. Ryan show Celeborn where my parents room is,” I told Ryan.
Ryan looked at Celeborn and then saw his hands wrapped around my waste and stomach. Ryan turned red and made his way towards the room and when we got in their people stood around and Celeborn set me on the bed and I let out a squeal of pain.
“ Laura! What did you do?” Ryan asked.
“ I fell,” I muttered.
Celeborn started to roll up my jeans and then saw the gash in my knee.
“ what the fuck did you get in their?” Celeborn asked.
“ Glass,” I said.
“ I’m going to go get Rickton,” He said.
“ Who is? Rickton?” I asked.
“ A doctor. I’ll be right back.”
I nodded my head and he made his way out of the room.
“ Who was that?” Ryan asked.
“ His name is Celeborn. And all of those other people their like a family. They are walking and people just join them, so none of them have to go through this alone. He is a good person,” I told him.
I looked at Ryan and saw the jealousy in his eyes.
“ how kind?” He asked.
I clenched my fists, “ Are you fucking kidding me?” I gasped.
Celeborn entered the room and then another man was behind him. He was tall, pale, and black hair.
“ Laura this is Rickton,” Celeborn said.
I smiled and Rickton came next to me and saw my leg.
“ Damn,” He muttered.
“ Yeah,” I laughed.
“ I have to get out all of the glass and clean it… am not going to lie to you though, it’s going to hurt like a bitch,” Rickton said.
I started to laugh, “ I’ll manage.”
“ We got a trooper here!” He laughed.
I smiled. He started to get all of these tools out. I looked at Ryan.
“ Ryan will you go out there and see if anyone needs anything?” I asked him.
“ Of course.” He made his way out of the door.
Rickton started to take out the glass and I gripped onto the bed and bit my tongue. Celeborn grabbed onto my hand and I looked
