Infected
Chapter 12: Forgiveness
We found another house, but this one doesn't have a gate. Our only hope is that no infected notices us or sees us. Ian and lakey were calming rai down, ryan and shadow were eating some blueberries, and ava was cleaning my nose.
"I-is it broken?"
"I don't think so, just bruised."
"Bruised?"
"I'm no doctor, but it could take up to 7-10 days to completely disappear...depends how bad it is."
I sighed as ava put a Band-Aid on my heart-shaped nose. She also gave me a gentle kiss on my nose, which made me feel better, a little. "You okay, cain?" shadow asked, worried. I shook my head, placing my hands on my face, away from my nose. Sooner or later, we started to move out, hoping to find more survivors or survivors finding us. I walked behind from everyone, even rai. I felt extremely bad for keeping something from them, especially for rai. Then, something unexpected happened, rai walked up to me and started to walk with me.
"Hey, cain..."
"...Hi..."
"Listen, I'm sorry for almost killing you back at...the house."
"...It's fine...I deserved that...I should've told you but, I didn't want raven to be disappointed."
"Uh, now's probably the worst time to tell you but, I have anger issues..."
"Anger issues?"
"Yeah...I get angry really easily...I should've told you since we met."
"S-so...you regret something too?"
Rai nodded and held his hand out. "Truce?" I hesitated and smiled. "Truce." I said, shaking rai's hand as I felt better. Rai and I are friends again, thank god. I happily caught up to ian, shadow, ryan, lakey, and ava.
