AN: As I'm re-reading these past chapters I noticing one thing, I really made these past chapters really fluffy(that and I must be watching too much TLC and sappy movies lol) oh and sorry for the mistakes, I'm having technical difficulties with and also can't find a way to separate sections now that editor won't show the stars, I guess arrows and bold will have to do for now. And I know, I need more descriptions and less dialogue or else this will be a ten-part chapter I know(So sue me I'm an aspiring screenwriter, I like writing dialogue better than descriptions)
"Your shoulders starting to hurt yet" Reverie asked, it's been nearly two hours and he hasn't show a sign of slipping.
"They're fine, never better"
It wasn't like it was torture be carried, especially by someone so good-looking, she just didn't like to appear weak to people. Great, now everybody's going to treat me special
"If I was sick Race, would you carry me?" Saphhy asked
"No"
Saphhy looked at him with shock
Race smiled "I would make you a Egyptian divan fit for a queen and hire four people to carry it"
"How sweet…what the hell is a divan?"
"You know that carriage type sofa thing that pharaohs would lie on while peasants held them up"
"Oh I see, so where would you find the material to make that divan?"
"I don't know, at some store"
"But what if there's no store?"
"Listen it's a figure of speech okay!"
"I know, I'm just pulling your chain, it's the only thing to do to get my mind off of food"
"Thanks for reminding me" Race said as he pulled a Snickers bar out of his pocket
"Hey, I want some"
"No, get your own"
"Pretty please?"
"No" He said as he took a bite
"Great, you'd build me an Egyptian divan, but you won't give me a bite of your Snickers"
"It's just a candy bar!"
"Smooth Race" David laughed as Saphhy walked faster away from Race
"Shut up! It's not my fault I'm a greedy bastard"
"It's your parent's fault right? Well anyways you have to learn to be fair, it's sure as hell not a good time to be greedy" Ty said as she took the candy bar from Race "Thanks, I'm starving"
"Hey! Give me back my Snickers"
David couldn't help laughing "So Race, where did you get that candy"
"He took it from me" Daisy frowned
"Stealing candy from a baby!" This time David was on the ground laughing hysterically
"She gave it to me I swear!"
"Sure she did, very voluntary I assume"
"Go to hell!"
"You first!"
Jack watching this chuckled to himself
"What?" Reverie asked thinking he was giggling at her
"Nothing really, I'm just happy to see my friend laugh, he's been so depressed lately"
"Haven't we all?"
"Yeah but he takes things a little worse than others, he's very…sensitive"
"Don't worry so much, sensitive people heal too, only slower. Just don't leave him too alone in his thoughts"
Ahead of the Line
Gracie was getting a little tired which means that the rest much be exhausted. She was amazed, these people are much stronger than she thought. Maybe there was hope after all if there were more kids like them out there. About 25 more miles and we should see if this world has gone to hell "So is there any tents in your back pack, Gracie?" Ty asked
"Sadly no"
"Were go thing to have to sleep on the grassy mid-section of the freeway, wonderful" Ty said as she looked at all the trash around
"We could sleep in the cars" Gracie suggested
"If there isn't a dead body in there" she muttered
"Don't joke about that, there's kids around, you don't ant to frighten them. And so far I haven't seen dead bodies in any of the cars since the body burnings"
"Yet" she froze, she then realized something…
"It's time to retire for the night" Gracie put her large backpack down opened it up, pulls out some clothes to get to the food supply at the bottom shit! She had only five granola bars and four cans of chili, definitely not enough to feed eleven people for two days
"Bumlets!"
"Yeah"
"Please say you have food in you pack"
"I only have a few power bars, sticks of gum, and oatmeal"
"How much oatmeal?" Please say something over six
"Two boxes"
Six pack in each box so that's twelve servings!…oh no, water!
"How many bottles of water are left?"
"four full ones"
"We're stopping?" David asked
"Yes for the night, do me a favor, tell everyone to meet me"
"Why?"
"We need to discuss food"
After ten minutes they all gathered by Gracie
"We don't have enough, do we?" Jack guessed as he put Reverie down
Gracie shook her head "We have altogether 12 oatmeals, 4 power bars, 5 granola bars, 4 cans of chili, 3 packs of gum, and 3 water bottles"
"This is hard, if we all have oatmeal than we have no water…"
"I have an idea" David stood up "Okay, a power bar can count as a meal, so um for tonight we split the chili among all of us, not nearly as impossible if we put some water in the chili and make it a thick soup. Then for breakfast we make some oatmeal and split the power bars, and all through the day we'll chew gum to ease our hunger and thirst, then for dinner we'll have some more oatmeal and then for breakfast the granola bars and then after that we're screwed…oh and don't bother about feeding my sister, she's anorexic, she'll be happy with just gum" He said all in one breath
"Say that again and slower"
"I got what he said, he's right, that's how we can stretch it and how far we can stretch it" Bumlets said
"We have to walk faster"
There was silence soon interrupted by laughing
"What's so funny Ty?"
"How can we have been so stupid!"
"Excuse me?"
"The cars!"
"There's no road"
She laughed more "Ever since we hit the freeway we had road!"
"Where?"
"We're sitting on it!" They all then looked down at the grassy ground "The midsection of the freeway! If we hotwire a car, which I assume someone her knows how to do" she added looking at Race "We can save our selves miles, who knows how long this midsection goes too, probably the city"
"Holy shit, she's right!"
"How come we didn't realize before?!"
"Fuck!"
"All that torturous walking when we could have drove!"
"It wans't there the whole way!"
"So what's for dinner again?" Jack smirked as he asked Gracie
AN: Okay, I figured out why I like dialogue so much. I like dialogue because it makes you feel like you're there, like you're a character, like you're involved…yeah I know still no excuse for lack of description, I'll work on it
Next: To the city!
