Who knew chapter 4
The drive in the hummers filled with awkward and some tension in the air almost making it hard to breathe. We have been on the road for 2 half 3 hours on the road and we haven't stopped for breaks.
Claire hasn't said a word to me since I last snapped at her, but I could see her glancing at me out of the corner of my eye every few minutes.
I choose to ignore her as I continued to draw in my textbook out of boredom. The first picture I drawed was my name in a big font and second one was a dirt bike which wasn't very good, my third drawing was a zombie with blood dripping out of its mouth.
Seeing Claire glance at me again for the 100th time in 2 hours, she had this look on her face, this expression I couldn't quite figure out, I didn't know what it meant.
I hate things I can't figure out it drags me up the wall in frustration.
I turned my textbook page since there was no more room to draw, flipping the page; I started to draw a 3D cube and a square.
'Claire I think we should stop for a break' the radio boomed with Carlos voice. Stopping my pencil at his voice.
Turning my head I watch Claire reach and gasp the radio and holding it to her mouth. Holding my pencil though my fingers.
'Yeah sounds good Carlos' she replied through the radio before glancing at me making eye contact with me.
Snapping my eyes from hers and whipping my head around to face the window. Fucking hate eye contact.
'Mickey says there is a rest stop up ahead about 10 miles surrounded by a park' Carlos said in the radio.
'Ok let's do that' Claire told him through the radio before I hear her placing it back in the cup holder. Bending my head down as I start to darken the 3D cubes, making a dark shadow on the lines making it blend out with the white paper with red lines.
I her sign heavily beside me making me sweat in anxiety.
Feeling the hummer slowing down, I look up and see the park ahead in front of us with toilets and some park beaches bolted to the ground. Watching the wind blew the trees side to side in strong winds.
Driving to the side of one of the beaches and seeing Claire put it in park before turning it off and taking out the keys.
Quickly putting my textbook in the glove box, I unbuckled my seatbelt and throwing it over my head, turning around and opening the hummer door, jumping out fast.
When my feet touched the ground, I fell straight to ground face first. My legs felt like rubber.
'Ahhhh! I yelled out in surprise.
Hitting the hard dirt ground hard face hitting first, making dusk go everywhere.
Closing my eyes as I felt a throbbing pain in my head, groaning in pain.
'Kmart!' I heard Claire yell behind me making me open my eyes and turn my head before spitting out some dirt that managed to get inside my mouth.
Getting up on my knees as I slowly got up on my feet. Turning around I look up to see Claire watching me with a worried expression.
'Your legs asleep honey 'Claire asked me softy giving me a small amused smile.
Reaching down I brush myself off of the dust and dirt and hiding my blush from her.
'Yeah I guess' I murmured to her quietly in a horse voice.
Turning my head away from her, I see the boys getting out of the tanker and Mickey's van, making their way over to me.
Quickly walking over to them to get away from Claire before I do something else more stupid.
'Hey Kmart your legs asleep' Dylan asked me reaching down and rubbing his legs.
'Yeah I just tripped before' I told him before the others nodded and chuckled at me.
Looking around I see matt and josh with Jason and Tyson next to them, mason and Luke but no jack.
'Where's jack' I asked them in suspicion.
'Hiding maybe because he knows you are going to silence him with a knife' matt said to me making others laugh in amusement.
'I'm not going to slit his throat because he made me say something very embarrassing to Claire, I'm just going to go talk to him' I explained to them calmly since I wasn't really hesitating to not slit his throat like its soft butter.
'Yeah talking to him with an axe in your hand' matt said out loud making 4 of the boys crying in laughter.
'Yes I would but I don't have my tomahawk anymore' I told them getting some nods from them.
Ever since Claire found out I had a axe she took it off me, telling me it's dangerous and its not to play with, it was my axe to crop up wood and pilt it in half for the fireplace, I call my axe a tomahawk because I have always wanted to kill someone with it.
'Yes but we always have our hidden knifes on us' I heard Dylan say to me making me come back to earth.
'Yes but I'm not going to use them' I told them all looking into each one of them in the eye to show them how serious I am.
'Talking about the little rat there he is' Luke said making me turn around to spot jack walking over to the toilets.
'You want us to come with you Kmart' Dylan asked me, turning back to them and looking at him in the eyes.
'No thanks its ok I can handle it' I told him before turning around and walking in the direction of where jack went.
Shoving my hands in my pocket as I walked to the toilets while thinking about how I was going to talk to him.
Glancing around the park, I saw Claire and Carlos with Alice and Chris surrounded around a park bench with a map on it, turning and seeing LJ and betty over in the back of the ambulance flirting as always, rolling my eyes at them.
Looking over to see the little kids playing football with Otto and seeing chase with a shotgun in his hands.
I saw Mickey's van over the side with his doors open and him typing something on his computer.
Turning my head back in front of me, I reached the toilets, walking around them to see the ladies sign, walking past and around again I saw the men's sign.
Walking in there I find jack washing his hands and glancing up in the mirror before smiling at me.
'I was expecting you Kmart' he told me with a smirk.
'Really well sorry to disappoint you jack but I'm not here to amuse you just talk about this morning' I growled at him through a hiss at the end of the word morning and with my lips pulled up in a distaste frown kind of look on my face.
'Oh don't worry I already know and it was your own fault you should just tell them already tell cause they are going to find anyway no matter what you do' he tells me with a big smile on his face before turning the taps off and drying his hands on his jeans.
'Good and no its fucking not you should of kept your fucking mouth shut and no we won't because its none of their business!' how bloody dare you jack what the fuck is wrong with you!'
I yelled at him in shock and frustration at him making it harder not to smash his head into the mirror making glass stick in his skin with him screaming in pain.
'Well it is there business Kmart they look after us and nothing is wrong with me I'm just sick of hiding it and I'm over with you keeping us in the dark so I'm going to give you a choice' he turns around and looks at me with a cold stare making me freeze at him.
'Look I'm not going to hang with you and the other boys and I will have no hesitation to tell the convoy of your disabilities and the boys' he crossed his arms in front of his chest making him look tough in front of me but only making him look like a fool who is going to die in the end.
'Jack I understand your pain and we all can't cope with it but we- I couldn't finish it as he broke me in mid sentence.
'Kmart do you dare tell me to stay strong about this is to stay together it's not working and I'm over it and if you and the boys get any ideas to stop me ill hurt Claire' with that he nodded and walked past me as I stood there in shock.
Finally snapping out of it I quickly turn and walk out of the men's toilets and back towards the boys.
My mind processing over what just happened and trying to understanding what was with him.
Looking up from the ground as I entered the park again to see the boys in a circle watching jack walking over to playground. Turning their glances to me I start to jog over to them in a rush.
'What happened' Dylan asked me as the others were catching their breaths from the run.
'We have a problem' I told them with a shakily voice.
'How bad?' matt asked me as the boys watched me with nerviness looks.
'Really bad by the looks of it 'Luke said to them as they continue to watch me to speak.
'Jack is sick of hiding the secrets from the convoy leaders and he will not hesitate to tell them and he said if we get any ideas he will hurt Claire if we try to stop him' I told them in a low voice keeping my eyes glued to the ground.
'Oh shit' Dylan whispered in a low voice knowing he was in shock too.
'Fu-ck' Matt said in a stutter.
'What do we do'? Luke asked in a worried voice.
'Nothing there's nothing we can do' Dylan told him while looking at me with a frown on his face.
'But there's got to be something we can do' Josh said in a hopeful voice.
'If we do something he will hurt Claire and we don't want that' matt said to josh while Dylan and Luke looked at me with sad smiles.
'Claire is Kmart's soul mate and losing Claire would be like losing a limb' Dylan said to them making them understand the pain I was going through right now.
'He's right we need to choose our decisions carefully' matt told them making me nod my head in agreement.
'First we need to watch and protect Claire so jack can never get her alone and plan to hurt her' Dylan ordered them while I smiled at him in kindness.
'I and Dylan will do that' matt suggested making me grins at him.
'Second we need to keep an eye on jack and report if he changes or tries to do anything' Dylan told them while looking at them in commend mode.
'I and Luke can do it' josh said making the boys cheer in excitement as I give him a nod in thanks.
'Third we hang around the convoy and stay there and if he tries to tell Carlos or one of them and group 2 will cause a diversion and we grab him and take him before any of them know.
'Me and Jason can hang around the convoy and blend in and we will help you drag him away to a dark corner' Tyson said getting smiles and laughter.
'Alright so its planned group 2 will cause a diversion and group 3 will help drag him away from the others' Dylan said as the others nodded in understanding while others smiled.
Wait what about me'? I asked feeling a bit left out.
'You stay close to your soul mate and let us do the hard work it's the lest we can do for our commending offer' matt told me while others nodded and smiled at me.
Smiling at all of them before nodding me head at task before the boys cheered and hulked in to a group hug.
Hopefully this works.
