We followed the river and walked for a good hour before Drew decided it was okay to stop for a bit. He cleaned and gutted the fish while I built a fire, I wasn't completely useless yet.

We ate in silence, I was on one side of the tree, Drew was around the other side. After we had finished, he walked over to the water and crouched down with his back to me.

“Are you mad at me?” he asked, washing his hands in the river.

“No, I'm not mad at you.”

“It's just.. you're being really quiet. I'm used to you being the chatty one.”

I looked over at him to find him watching me.

“I was just thinking about Stacey, is it weird I don't feel remotely sad that she's dead? I kinda miss Jasper and Luke, but Stacey, not so much.”

“Were you close to her?”

“I thought we were, we shared a cell, she shared her secrets and crushes with me, I dunno... I just think I'm numb to death now.”

“It's the best way to be.”

“You know she once asked me if zombies had two stomachs because they're always hungry. I tried to explain to her they were still human inside, not frickin' aliens.”

Drew chuckled.

“She was told not to come in the first place, this was her fault, and she shouldn't have run away from me. Anyway, she wouldn't have lasted long, that bite looked bad, she would have died from blood loss. You did the right thing.” I said.

“Good. As long as we're okay.”

“We're okay.” I smiled at him and he looked satisfied with my answer. Was he really that concerned about me?

“So where to now? I'm completely lost, I have no idea where the road is, or which way we came from just now.”

He picked up his crossbow and held out a hand to me.

“Let's hit the road.” he said, waiting for me to take his hand.

It was strange, I had watched Drew shoot Stacey without hesitation but for some reason, I wasn't afraid of him. It was like I knew he wouldn't do that to me... even if I begged him I was sure he'd refuse.

I knew Josh had told Drew to follow me and look after me but he didn't have to. He could have easily left me to fend for myself, or killed me in a heartbeat. There was something else keeping him here with me but I couldn't put my finger on it. There was something else.

He smiled at me and wiggled his fingers, still waiting for me to take his hand.

With everything that was going on, Drew somehow had a way of making me forget.

Drew led me back to the road, and we wandered along it, keeping to the trees. We stopped for a few short breaks so I could have a drink and rest for a moment. But I wanted to keep going as much as Drew did. We both wanted to get out of these woods and away from what was hiding in them. I used to feel kind of safe hidden in the trees, now I felt vulnerable.
