Chapter 15
John: Waking up next to Claire is great. She looks flawless. She was still sleeping when I woke up so I quietly went to sit outside the tent to have a cigarette. Jodi was outside her tent too, doing the same. Soon enough, the rest of the guys woke up. We didn't have much food left and we were all hungry. But, Claire and Allison managed to warm up some beans for us.
Jodi: "We need more food guys. Did anyone notice a shop nearby?" I asked. Everyone shook their heads.
"I guess we're just gonna have to drive on until we find something. There's gotta be a gas station or something around here." Andy said.
"Yeah that's true. Someone's gotta stay here though so we need to work out who's gonna go with you to get food." John said. We all nodded in agreement.
"Well I don't mind staying." Brian said.
"Neither do I." Said Allison.
"Alright then, you two can stay here and start the fire up again and we'll go get some food?" I suggested. Everyone agreed so that's what we did.
Andy: We must have drove on for about an hour until we finally found a gas station. We went in and bought as much food as we could; chips, snacks, tinned stuff, some fruit, and even some fresh chicken we could cook on the fire. Before we left I filled the tank up with gas from one of the jerry cans we brought with us. Then we all climbed back into the truck and drove off.
Brian: I'm glad that Allison took my hint and stayed here with me while the others went out. We lit the campfire up with the lighter that Jodi left behind for us. Once it was lit, we sat by the river and just talked it was really nice.
Allison: I dipped my feet in the river. It was quite warm so I stood up in it. Then I grabbed Brian's hands and pulled him up. We ran and splashed in the river like children. It was really nice, being alone with Brian. He understood me more than the others, and after last night I hope something could happen between us in the future. I'd love that. I just hope it's what Brian wants too.
Andy: We were about 15 minutes away from where we were camping and we were driving down a one way road. We were nearly back on the main road when suddenly this huge truck drove towards us. Oh shit.
Claire: John and I were sat in the back while Andy and Jodi were in the front. We were laughing at John singing along to the radio. Andy shouted something. I looked and there was a huge truck driving up the one way road towards us. I thought we were going to die.
John: Fuck. I grabbed Claire who was next to me and held onto Jodi's shoulder in front of me. That truck would flatten Andy's pick up in seconds. Shit.
Jodi: I felt John holding onto my shoulder and everything seemed to go in slow motion. I held onto the dashboard with one hand and Andy's leg with the other hand. I closed my eyes. We all screamed.
Andy: Therewas another huge truck behind us. We're going to get crushed between them. Oh my God. This cannot be happening to us. A million thoughts went through my mind in a split second. I felt Jodi hold onto my leg. I tried my best. I frantically turned the wheel and accelerated; desperate to save us all. I couldn't help but close my eyes. I heard screaming, tires screeching and a huge crash. Is this it for us?
