Well thanks to Chris we are on our way west I really have no clue where we are, but this traveling on foot stuff is tiring. We have been traveling for, I guess, about two hours. Everyone is getting annoyed at me for talking, so I decided to quit talking for a while. Chris keeps looking at me like he expects me to say something. Out of everyone being annoyed at me Chris is the one to expect me to speak. Imagine that.
"Hey Kara, I'm really sorry about what I did, honestly." Chris was practicly in tears because I was ignoring him.
"Chris I'm not mad at you. I'm just frustrated." I explained.
"Well I just hate seeing you that way. Because I lo…." I interrupted Chris before he said the rest.
"Chris I love you like a brother, but not like that. I only see you as a brother, I don't see you like that. It's different for me. You are like the brother I should have had. I know you see me different, but I just can't stand you being like that. Understand I am glad you're in my life, but only like my brother." I explained to him.
"Oh…. Well I was just going to say that I looked in your journal and it said you were mad at me. But hey! I'll take that! You said you loved me! That's got to count for something!" he grinned the biggest grin. I think I might have blushed a little, but that's weird 'cause I don't like him…
"Chris! I did not say I loved you! Well I did say that, but I said it meaning that you are like my brother and that's all I see you as!"
"Oh well, It still counts!"
Ugh I just wish he would get over it. Lillie, Torrie, and Em came over.
"What was all that about?" Em asked me.
"Yeah, it looked like y'all were talking about something important" Lillie said "important" like it was an evil word or something.
"We were talking and he evidently read my journal. I told him I loved him like a brother and that's all, but he still didn't understand…." I explained to my friends.
"Oh that's typical Chris though." Torrie laughed.
We ran up to the guys. Crap! Chris is here! That probably means he twisted our conversation around! I thought.
"Kara and Chris sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" sang Kasey.
"Say it again! See what happens! I'll kick you so hard you will think those times Eli threw you are like a little kiddie ride at Six Flags!" I screamed at him, "Exactly what did Chris tell y'all? He most likely told y'all the wrong story! Ugh, Chris what did you tell them?" I directed my head towards Chris.
"Um….. nothing…"
"You got the nerve to twist our conversation around then you got the nerve to tell me what you said!" I was fuming now, "Better yet, No! Don't even tell me! I'm gone see y'all later!" I took off. I can't believe he did that! The nerve of some people. I actually thought it was a good conversation, but no. He had to go and ruin it by telling a lie. Ugh guys make me sick! I know he's like my brother and I shouldn't have gotten mad at him like that, but he should not have done that.
"Kara, Wait up!" it was Lillie. Great just what I needed. Some sarcasm. "I punched him in the face."
"You what!" I was screaming!
"Lillie why did you do that to my brother?" Eli's voice was easy to figure out. He came running up beside me. Uh oh. Lillie and Eli arguing that's never good for anyone. This is going to be scary.
"Do you not know what he did to Kara! He told you all complete lies about him and her! Your brother or not, no one messes with my best friends and gets away with it!" Lillie screamed at him.
"I don't care if you're the Queen of England, but no one messes with my brother but me!" Eli roared.
Lillie threw the first punch. I guess I should have seen it coming, then stopped it, but it was to amusing to watch the two fight. Eli then came at her with a upper-cut she easily dogged it kicking him in the gut. He then picked her up with his super strength and shoved her up against a tree nearby. "You think you can beat me, but you are so week compared to me." Eli laughed.
"Whoa guys! That's enough! I told you I saw them doing this," Torrie explained to the others, "but no, no one ever listens to the phychic."
"Sorry bout that back there," Chris looked at me I looked away, "I didn't mean to make you mad it was a joke honestly."
"Some joke. Chris that's what makes me mad and y'all have seen how mad I get. You know not to make me mad; when I'm near water, especially. If I would have been near water when Kasey was singing that stupid song I would have blasted y'all to California. Most of you anyways." I looked at all the guys.
"Can we all stop fighting and go now?" Em asked.
"Sure, why not?" I replied.
"You know, when all this is over I say we find a beach and go there. I hope everyone remembered a swim-suit. I think we should go to Myrtle Beach." Eli randomly added.
"Yeah! Let's go now!" Kasey looked at me. "We could hide out there."
"Um… I don't know about that…" I said, "There is a big chance we could get caught."
"Come on Kara, we need a vacation." Torrie told me.
"Okay, why not? Does anyone know where we are?" I asked. Chris spoke up,
"Well we were close to New Orleans earlier, 'cause that's where I found Wal-Mart. It's been about two hours so I'm guessing we are near Mobile, Alabama, that is if we went east. I'm not sure of directions, but I think that's it."
"Thanks Chris." I said.
Well we have been walking for about ten minutes now and still no sign of a town. I'm starting to believe there are no towns around here. It may be a good thing because I bet the government is waiting for us.
"Come on Kara! You're like the slowest walker I know!" Eli hollered at me. He was right, I was walking pretty slow. I can't help it that I'm trying to think everything through and they are probably leading us to our capture.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I ran up to the group picking my spot between Em and Lillie.
"Hey Kara. I think this is a trick." Torrie whispered to me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean that I can see it coming and it's not very good. I see tons of them everywhere lined up along the streets." Torrie was almost in tears, then all of the sudden Kasey looked back at me with this look. I knew now that something was not right and we had to get out of here now!
"Okay y'all, we have a slight change in plans. We are going to head north." I tried to explain calmly.
"Why?" Chris asked me. Imagine that.
"Because, They are near." I shivered at the thought. "So everyone just follow Bay he can sense where we are, and I kind of trust him more than I trust Kasey to lead. Sorry Kasey."
"It's no problem." Kasey laughed.
"Come on guys. Let's go." Bay commanded.
