Chapter 9: Danger

The road to the food bank is still far and out of reach;we could make it in two days if we were quick. I doubt it,we never know what dangers we could face in this 'new world' and I don't plan to find out. What used to be homes are now mere plain buildings ,all the love,warmth and happiness dragged out of it. It seriously creeps me out! Looking down at my phone ,I notice that it's been exactly two weeks since but to me it's an eternity. My dreams and wishes seem to stray further and further away from me,out of reach. It's my own fault I guess. I had the time to do all these things but my own doubt blocked my conscience.

I mean it's not like I was an outcast, I made myself a loner.🤦🏽‍♀️ttsh. People liked me and wanted to be friends with me but I pushed them away unknowingly and stayed alone. Well it's too late now to regret it; I must be being punished.

'George, did you have friends,you know before all this'

'Yes,who didn't?' He answered,that sent a sharp pain to my heart. Why was I so hurt?

' I didn't then and I don't now...what's wrong with me?'

His response attacks me making me feel flustered 'You have me now Joy' why did my heart melt at his cringy words? My whole face starts to heat up.

'Thanks I guess..you're not so bad, Glasses.' His mouth widened into a grin as he repositions his glasses on his nose.

'J and Glasses. Glasses and J. I like it.' He smirks. He keeps muttering it over and over again under his breath as he walks. He looks cute. What. No. Stop. Don't tell me I'm actually starting to like him. Whyyyyy! This cannot happen. As my heart and mind compete in a vicious battle, I have no choice but to let them to control my fate. It seems possible that at least of of my wishes will come true. Ugh shut up Joy. You sound like a lovestruck idiot. I didn't know the danger I would encounter would be this type. I'm sailing into dangerous waters and can't seem to get out. Should I let it engulf me whole? AH! Now's not the time for that. I gotta focus on getting to the food bank. Otherwise We'll starve to death, me and Glasses.
