chapter 10

Len was standing in her and Theas room, Taylor followed them up stairs and is now sitting on Lens bed just watching the two.

" Len you feeling better" Taylor asked and she shook her head no, then looks out the barred window at how much work the people here put into this place.

" I'm going to leave, I have to go look for my family and I'll ask Evelyn for supplies. I'm sure she'll let me use the weapon I carried earlier, if I can I'll return and I won't if my family wants me with them." Len said, Ari popped up in her head.

(" I wonder if she'd care if I left, eh what am I thinking I know deep down she only feels responsible because of the hospital") Len thought to herself, Thea walks over beside her and looks out the window.

"The city is on fire, I can't let you go by yourself and I know the girls you saved from those rooms will want to follow" Thea said and sighs, Len gave her a sad smile and hugs her.

" I'm sorry Thea we can't tell them, if you go I have a feeling Ashley might follow after you and then you'll put her life in danger. She has been very dependent of you, since you two have been together." Len said, Taylor stands up and clenches his fist, he then turns to Len and hugs her.

" I'll go with you, about 18 miles from the road we got off, my grandmother and nephews are alone. Which way are you headed, we can stop there and then travel to your family" Taylor said

Len stared at him for a minute, how could she tell him no and it would be better to travel together. His family is there and could need help, but her family is on west side of the city.

" Taylor I don't want you to come for me, we can travel to your family and we can talk to Evelyn about bringing them here." Len said knowing that she would travel the rest of the way by herself, going through the city would be to dangerous for his family.

" I'll go if we must I'll get them here and we will continue forward to your family" Taylor said.

Len gives him a weak smile and nods her head yes, she sighs then pats Thea on her shoulder and then Taylor could see Ari at the doorway and hugs Len again.

" Thank you, this means a lot to me" Taylor said, Thea looks at him with a disgusted look and knows he seen Ari.

(" that motherfucker knows they like each other and is trying to win the prize") Thea thought and she could tell Lens oblivious, the girl is to trusting.

Ari stands there looking at them hugging, a deep frown appears on her face and Len shrugged him off.

" that has to stop, I let it slide at first but I don't think you've taken the hint" Len said, Thea smirks at Taylor and notices that Len has yet noticed Ari standing by the doorway.

" Len I think you need to talk to Ari about all of this first, I think you two should go to her room we'll wait for you" Thea said

Len looks over at Ari, a smile appears on her face and she walks towards her. Taylor clenched his jaw, glaring at Ari and then holds back from grabbing Lens wrist.

" what's wrong Len" Ari asked while motioning toward her bedroom next door, Len walks ahead of her and goes in. She sits down on Aris bed, she takes a deep breath and slides her hand through her long hair.

" I'm leaving " Len said

Ari was taken back, like she might have misheard her and furrowed her brows.

" I'm sorry I thought you said that your leaving" Ari said while chuckling at her foolishness, she sits down beside Len.

She kept glancing from her eyes to her lips, she kept leaning in little by Little and Ari closed the distance between them. The kiss was gentle at first and then became passionate. They pulled apart catching their breath, Len swallows hard then cups Aris cheek with her hand.

"I'm sorry I am leaving, I was gonna see if I could get a gun from you and maybe supplies for the trip to my family's house." Len said while her heart was beating loudly and Aris eyes go wide.

" no it's to dangerous for you to go" Ari said while shaking her head back and forth, Len smiles sadly.

" with or without your permission I will leave I'm sorry, I can't stay here without knowing what's going to happen to them. My little sister Cindy is home, I need to at least get to her." Len said

Ari pulls her into a hug, she thought after a couple minutes that she would push her away and that didn't happen. She raises her head then kisses Ari again, she licks her bottom lip and asks for permission to go deeper.

Ari parted her lips and Len slides her tongue into her mouth, their tongues intertwine and when Len layed her hand on Aris stomach. A small moan escapes from her, when Lens hand went to her stomach she felt her core heat up even more.

(" I want to at least have tonight with her, I want her to be my first and hell I could die tomorrow") Len thought to herself as she tried to push her nervousness away.
