we made it out of the mall. thats when i realised i was still holding aris' hand. i slowly look up at him from our hands and we make awkward eye contact, so i quickly let go. we slowly start our trek across the desert land, all walking in twos. thomas and teresa, minho and newt, frypan and winston, me and aris and jack at the front. aris and i walked in very awkward silence, until winston dropped on the floor, trying to grab a gun.
we were all (very obviously) alarmed and slightly confused. after taking a proper look at him, i noticed his veins were turning black. he begged for the gun and painfully lifted up his shirt. there was is black oozing hole in the middle of his belly. and it wasn't going to get better.
we were all in shock and horror, so we left winston on his own with a gun, not bearing to be there for when he takes his life. we had said our goodbyes, and now no one was quite the same.
