It takes me an hour to find a pharmacy. It's an old Watsons and to my delight is still filled with Medicine. I get some Nurofen, cough syrup, panadol, ear drops, soap,shampoo+conditioner, anything we may need. I also quickly grab some candies that were still lined up on the counter. I pop a couple mentos in my mouth. A crunch comes from behind me and I swivel around to see a man behind me frozen in the doorway. Then I realised who it was.
FLASHBACK.
"Hey! Mark wait up!" I yell.
"Catch up slowpoke!" Mark chuckles. We collapse on the floor and he puts his mouth to mine.
"I love you," I whisper.
"I know." He replies.

"Mark," I say in shock.
"Leo." He replies, equally as astonished. I run over to him, my arms spread and hug him tightly. He hugs me back. "Are you alone?" I ask, a sad tone in my voice.
"My sister. She's outside keeping a lookout, but my parents-" He grimaces.
"My dad died too. It's ok." I whisper.
"I'm sorry." He says shortly.
"Me too." I say. "Me too."
