Who knew?
I figured out what brad was trying to say to me about Claire before I was pulled away to do jobs not allowed to see anyone and could only take 15 minute breaks every 4 hours making me so tired after the chores I did.
The only time I wasn't doing jobs around the convoy was when I was having a quick break or I was sleeping, I just had to no energy to be able to do anything else other than do what Claire asked me to do with a smile. Making me sad since it's been two days from talking to the boys.
I haven't had any contract with them at all, Claire and Carlos made sure of that making it impossible to get a word out before Claire appears out of nowhere already giving me more tasks making me nod while seeing Carlos doing the same.
Two days and I was so over it, it wasn't funny, I didn't feel happy at all, I felt like crying in bed but I was so tired I couldn't. Claire was breaking us up and it wasn't making us feel great at all.
It was horrible and I knew it wasn't just me by the looks of the boys, with their heads down not talking just playing the silent game like me while everyone continued on not caring at all.
The thing that was the most upsetting thing is Claire sleeps by herself now, leaving me to sleep alone making me feeling lonelier than ever. She had her room few doors down making it harder for me trying to be ok with it.
I don't know why she was doing it but it was ripping me apart inside but the outside I was silent not showing any emotion about it.
But I cheered up when Luke slipped a note on my food tray before walking off to make sure no one saw the exchange.
Opening it up under my tray so no one would see it, looking down at the piece of paper and smiling.
'Tonight we leave' it said making me smile knowing now I can be happy and not depressed all the time. It's for the best
I tried not to show it but I was happy and glad about the boys making the decision for me, we had to leave because we need medication and worse it's for the best.
I was packing my bag when a knock came on the bathroom window and running over to it, opening it to reveal Luke with his gorgeous smile.
'Ready? He asked grabbing my bag from me and throwing it to mason while brad was watching out to make sure we don't get caught.
'Yeah come on lets ditch this place' I said hopping out of the bathroom window while Luke helped me out before placing me down on the grass with a smirk.
'You have them? Dylan asked scanning the dark night before looking at me.
'Yep' I answered him holding my hand up to show him the keys to the hummer. Running away from the window with the boys, trying not to laugh before unlocking the car.
Trying to be ninjas in the dark before we all jumped into the hummer with giggles.
'Ok let's go' Luke said with excitement while the boys cheered loudly with smiles.
Putting the key in the ignition and turning it on the lights to reveal Claire in the headlights looking straight at me making me freeze while the boys jumped in fright at the sight of her. Oh fuck
'Really Kmart leaving without saying goodbye to me? She said making me notice how hurt and angry I made her. Oh my god
'What how?' I said going over the information not knowing how she knew we were leaving.
'Kmart' Dylan said watching as Carlos was behind Claire sitting on a log while watching us in the car.
'Did she know all this time, I thought we were careful Luke!' brad yelled at him from the backseat while mason was trying not to piss his pants.
'We were I don't understand how but' Luke stuttered out in complete shock and fear of being caught trying to leave late at night and worse in Claire's hummer.
'Kmart start the fucking car' Luke growled out noticing Claire started to walk up towards us making him watch with wide eyes.
Snapping out of my trace to turn the key before hearing a sound that didn't sound good. No no fuck
'Kmart what did you do'? mason asked as he knew they were in deep shit for pulling this stunt making him shake head not believing this is happening.
'Nothing I think it's the engine' I said noticing it wasn't starting with the sounds of the engine it was making me panic. Fuck
Trying to continue to turn the key to start it was it kept making this horrible sound making me hit the dash board in anger.
'Kmart' Luke whispered so quiet I could just hear the fear in his voice.
'What' I turned to him to see him staring at Claire, slowly turning my head and noticing something in her hand. What are they?
Sparkplugs
Oh fuck
'Shit!' I swore at knowing why now the hummer won't start, Claire took out the sparkplugs making me shake my head at being so stupid.
'Boys get out of the car' I heard Carlos say out loud before I was glancing at the boys, feeling Claire death staring me to death with her eyes burning holes in the back of my head.
Turning back to see Claire walking around the hood and coming to my door making me quickly reach out to lock it before it was ripped open and I was pulled from the driver's seat and dropped onto the sand making me grunt at the pain.
'Really do you think I'm that stupid that I wouldn't know' she said making spit out blood before slowly getting up while the boys jumped out before Carlos stopped them.
'What were you thinking leaving and thinking I wouldn't know?' she yelled picking me up from the back of the hood moving me stand up by her rough pull making me face her to see her royally pissed off by the red face and puffy eyes.
'I was hoping this wouldn't happen' I said as she grabbed the front of my hoodie pulling me towards her face making me freeze at the action.
'Oh really and I would be asleep in bed not knowing cause I'm too stupid?' she shouted in anger spitting all over my face making me close my eyes at how close she was too me and how loud she was.
'Well not anymore' I said while watching her looking mad as ever before feeling her fist punch my left eye making me drop to the ground. The only sound was the bone crashing bone.
'Fuck!' I shouted out holding my left eye as I felt it already bruising making me gasp out in shock not believing Claire just hit me.
'Kmart! I'm so sorry' she whispered bending down to reach out to me to see her staring at me with shock for hitting me.
Before quickly getting up pushing past her and running back to my room not dare looking back, opening the door and pushing all the furniture in front of it.
Gasping my left eye as I felt blood rolling down my cheek making me run to the bathroom to see the results.
My left eye was black from the punch with a deep cut along my eyebrow while there was still bruises around the eye making me cry in pain.
Hoping into the shower and letting the water get all the dry blood from my face so it won't get infected.
I was in the shower for over an hour just sobbing, crying out my heart while screaming in anger. I felt asleep in the water not knowing if I passed out or fell asleep.
Walking out of the shower, grabbing some tissues while holding it to my cut, it hasn't stopped bleeding it must have been deep. I fell also again in my bed while relaxing feeling horrible.
I don't think I want to go out there, I think I'll stay here. Hearing a knock at the door making me freeze before hearing Luke talking, waking over and opening the door to let the boys in.
When they saw my eye they all gasped and Luke was shocked.
'I don't wanna talk about' I whispered not wanting to let anyone see me like this.
'Yeah I think you need stitches' Dylan said while looking more closely at my cut on my eyebrow.
'No I can't Claire's out there' I said with fear and hurt in my voice, my left eye is not even opened mostly half shut from the bruising.
'Kmart we haven't seen Claire since last night' Luke said looking at me before helping me out the door.
Watching as they pushed all the furniture out of the way before letting me out, quickly grabbing my sunglasses and walking out with them following me.
Fixing my hat before walking past the campfire which was still burning with some flame, noticing Carlos and micky talking before everyone stopped and stare as I walked over to Betty's ambulance.
What the fuck? I thought noticing how everyone was staring at me like I was a zombie or something, I could see people whispering knowing that it is about me.
'Bad news travels fast' I muttered sadly before knocking on the door of the vehicle with Luke and Dylan flanking me and the others scanning the area, while brad was standing in front of me trying to hide me from the stares of everyone.
'Well looks like she's not here' I said quickly and turning around about to walk back to my room not liking the attention on me.
Luke and Dylan grabbing a hold of my arms and pulling me back before Luke banged on the door making it bend under the force of his fist.
'Betty open the fucking doors!' Luke shouted in anger while continuing to bang hard on the ambulance making me try to move against Dylan's hold but he held on tight making it hard to move.
Watching as the doors were pushed open to reveal an annoyed Betty before soften at the sight of us.
'Kmart'? She asked not looking confused but awkward making me avoid eye contract, keeping my sunglasses on.
'Don't talk to her just fix her fucking eye will you' Dylan yelled pushing me into the back while Betty just nodded not knowing how to reply to the boys.
Mentioning me to sit before Luke and Dylan pushed me down while Betty sat getting the mediational supplies.
Taking off my sunglasses while bitting my lip I anxiety before noticing Betty stare in shock and held her tongue knowing from the rumours this morning.
'You need stitches, sorry Kmart' she said quickly grabbing a needle and an ice pack, bandages
Making me jump up before being tackled back down on the seat by Luke and Dylan making me cry out not wanting to have stitches.
'Will you hurry the fuck up?' Luke yelled having trouble holding me down as I cried and sobbed knowing what pain I was going to feel.
'I'm trying but I can't when she's moving!' she screamed back making Luke growl before hearing the doors open to reveal mason and brad, helping them hold me down.
'Can't you put her to sleep or something?' Dylan asked before getting shoved against the wall, mason quickly taking his spot and holding me down.
'No I don't have the medication' she answered while sitting next to me, reaching up to hold my face still while I watched her with the needle.
'Well what fucking kind of doctor are you? Mason asked before getting pushed back to Dylan who catches him in time.
'I'm a nurse if you don't know the difference' she shouted back, trying to concentre on putting the needle in for the start since I couldn't stop moving as all four boys had trouble keeping me down.
Yelling out at the feeling her poking the needle in my open cut making me cry and sob as I felt it go through the skin making me freeze not knowing what to do.
For the last 10 minutes of loud cries and screams could be heard though the whole convoy making everyone tense at hearing the horrible sounds.
'Ok done Kmart good girl!' betty said patting my shoulder as I was still crying but no so loud now making betty finally relax.
'Fuck how hard was that?' Luke asked death staring Betty for my agony but it wasn't her fault.
Handing her back the ice pack feeling it gone warm by the time she finished doing my stitches.
Getting up and jumping out from the ambulance while the boys followed with a hard slam of the doors.
Nodding and turning around walking and noticing Alice and Carlos watching us with full attention making me duck my head. Seeing Claire came out of the restroom before spotting me making me freeze with panic.
Hearing her call out making me look away not wanting to face Claire after what she did to me last night.
Feeling someone slip their arm around my back, leading me away from the campfire towards the bus.
'We are going on the bus together' Luke said opening the door and pushing me in, walking up to the back and sitting down while the boys all sat together in a group.
Taking off my sunglasses since it was shady in the bus with no sunlight making very dark.
Looking to see Claire walking over to Carlos before glancing over here making me duck on the floor of the bus in fright making the boys tense noticing my behaviour.
'Did she see me? I asked in fear not getting up from the ground not wanting to see Claire at the moment.
'Umm I don't know' Dylan said turning his head calmly trying to act normal before looking around.
'Is she still looking? I asked the boys hoping she really didn't see me which was be more embarrassing.
'Yep' Luke whispered under his breath trying to not to look at down at me so she wouldn't know.
'Fuck she saw me' I whispered before slowly peeking up from the floor to find her missing.
'She's gone' mason said before helping me up and going back to my sit as I waited for us to move onto the road.
'So what's the plan' I asked knowing the boys will have something planned as soon we get off the bus knowing they will protect me.
'We get off and get loaded when everyone is in meeting' Luke said while bending down not wanting anyone to hear knowing that last plan ended badly.
'I like it' I said nodding while the boys agreed knowing I didn't want to wait around for Claire to approach me.
'Ok kids jump on!' Otto yelled as we watched all the kids hoping on and finding a seat he got in the driver's seat not noticing he had new people on the bus.
The last 4 hours were the worse making me groan getting sick of being struck on the bus.
'Ok kids we are stopping at a mall soon so please hop off one at a time so I can count you' he said while turning into a abandon carpark while I smirked.
Getting off the bus and waiting in the crowd for Carlos to make the meeting speech knowing how this worked every time.
Looking around I noticed betty was talking with LJ before spotted us and death stared at us as he slipped his arm over her shoulder, knowing from the look on his face was about his morning with Luke.
Jumping as Luke came into my sight blocking betty and LJ from my view, next thing he did surprised me, I felt his arm around my shoulder and lower back, shielding me from everyone's eyes making me relax knowing he knew what I was feeling.
Feeling a tap on my shoulder making us separate apart before following the boys, ducking and running low into the bushes trying to be quick without anyone seeing us.
Getting to the last bush before bolting to the front doors not caring about sheath anymore.
Pushing the doors open before laughing as we entered the 3 level mall filled with heaps of shops making me yell out as the boys jumped up and down in excitement.
Watching as all the boys picked up trash bins and threw them into the locked down shops before breaking the glass making everyone cheer as the glass fell to the floor with a crash.
'We are the crazy kids!' Luke yelled as I sat on a rail with a smile watching them ruin the mall.
'Hoorah'! Dylan cried out in excitement making me laugh as I watched them break things with happiness.
Adjusting my arm, taking off the sling before throwing it on the ground and slowly moving my whole arm feeling it go numb.
'The boys are in the mall come on let's get them' I heard Carlos say into the radio that buzzed causing everyone to stop and stare in my direction at the comment.
Seeing them notice my tense figure before nodding to him to continue to go before they thanked me.
'Get me something nice please' I called out to them as Luke nodded at my request with a smile.
Next they all run upstairs pushing over trash cans and breaking windows before it went quiet making me relax knowing the raid team will be coming, they knew we were out here.
Sitting on the water fountain as I waited knowing it wouldn't be long now, slowly tracing the stitches on my left eyebrow before hissing in pain, snapping my hand away when I heard the front doors open.
Staying focus on the scene in front of me, already knowing who it was. I wasn't stupid. Looking at how the broken shops with trash bins all around the place making them sign.
'What the hell' I heard LJ knowing it was him from his swearing before hearing a hard slap making me smirk knowing he got hit by Claire.
'Kmart' I heard Claire whisper my head before coming into my view while I ignored knowing I can't look at her after what she did last night.
'Where are they' Carlos asked me making me slowly tilt my head up to see him waiting for an answer.
'Who'? I asked turning back to look out in front of me, not wanting to see their faces. Not interested in talking with them.
'You know!' LJ yelled in frustration knowing what Kmart was trying to do and not liking it from hearing his morning with Betty and the boys.
'The boys' Carlos said being more pacific trying to be calm about the whole thing.
'What boys?' I asked acting confused as I lifted up a single eyebrow noticing Claire taking a deep breath trying to hold her temper.
'Fucking hell' I heard LJ mutter under his breath loud enough for me to hear making me chuckle.
'Something wrong LJ?' I asked him in a teasing tone before he dropped his gun and marched over to me, blocking my view.
'Yes I wanna get your boyfriends ass for disrespecting my woman' he spat out making me smirk thinking that happened 3 hours ago, build a bridge dude
'Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free' I said back leaning close to his face before anger and shock flashed across his face making me grin wider at the reaction.
'Did you just call my woman a slut?' he yelled in my face spatting all over me making me turn my face.
'If that's what's you call it then yeah' I answered back as I watched LJ reach for his gun before another one was pointed at him by Claire.
'Don't ever think about' she said with a cold stare almost daring him to make his next move.
'Oh someone's in trouble' I whispered loudly as I stated to laugh at LJs piece less face from Claire's gun pointed at him.
Hearing several screams making me jump up and sprint upstairs with the others behind me.
taking every 3 steps before reaching the second level to see Luke with Dylan followed by mason and brad running back towards me from around the corning making me dash towards them.
'Go back run the other way' Luke yelled out while Dylan was giving me the thumbs down showing me what was behind them making the panic. Zombie
Getting grabbed and dragged back the way I came before shaking them off, we are missing people. Josh and matt and Anthony. Oh my god no
Jumping out of their grabbing hands before pushing Claire off me and running up around the corner to see josh and matt fighting 3 zombies and Anthony fighting 2 at once.
Running and elbow hitting the zombie behind Anthony and bringing my fist back as he ducked punching the second zombie off its feet making me grab him and throw him away back the others went.
Watching as I made sure he was out of danger seeing Carlos grab him and pick him up away from us.
Walking over to matt and head-butting the zombie making its head spit in half at the force before I pulled him away and shoved him to his way out of harm.
Running up to another zombie and grabbing the its neck and twisting it with a painful crack before dropping its dead body on the floor, mentioning with my head to go josh bolted over to the boys who were still shotting the zombies making me roll my eyes.
Hearing a loud curse making me turn my head to see Claire reloading as a zombie was running over to her, quickly hitting both zombies on either side of me with my elbows and spar tacking the zombie into a glass shop before continuing to punch its face in until it was craved in.
Stopping when I noticed it stopped moving making me get up and walk past Claire who was in shock not moving making me look away before going past the boys.
Walking up to her and ripping the shotgun out of her hands in anger before reaching in my pocket pulling out shotgun shells.
'Next time reload with 8 shells' I hissed out as I snapped open the shotgun making Claire jump in fright as I started reloading more shells into the gun before throwing it back to Claire and getting up to walk off.
'Let's go leave this to the raid team shell we?' I said to the boys who were watching behind LJ and Carlos, seeing them nod and follow behind me without another word to anyone.
Leaving the mall and going to back to the bus as I felt my stitches being out making me flinch at the pain I was starting to feel.
Oh but it was worth it
