Chloe's POV
(I'm pretty certain this whole story will be her POV but yeah)

Upon deciding that I was too tired to go any further we arrived at the closest camp the day after

"Hi" a man came over to us as we arrived

"Hey, this is one of the refuge camps right?" Ryan asked an older looking guy, he was quite slim, really tall and had greying hair

"Yeah, so you guys can take the cabin over there" he told us as he pointed to a little cabin "meals are as it says on here and yeah, that's about it, we try and enjoy ourselves as best we can, keep up our spirits..." he started but I cut him off when I saw the necklace he was wearing, too girly for a guy like him

"Who did you lose?" I asked him rather point blank, he was clearly taken by surprise but decided to answer

"Wife and daughter" he told me

I smiled sadly and rubbed his arm supportingly

"I'm sorry for your loss" I told him and he smiled a little

"What about you?" He asked me in return

"Mother and sister" I responded quietly

"I'm sorry to hear that" he returned the remorse

"Yeah, well we gotta keep going haven't we?" I was glad I'd made a bond with someone else who could understand the loss

"We do, so it's just the three of you?" He asked

"Technically 4 but yeah" I smiled and he smiled when he heard that

"Congratulations" he replied

"Thank you" I responded

"Well you should go get settled in, I'll see you all at dinner" he told us and then walked away

"What was with all that?" Ryan asked me with a tone I didn't particularly like

"Get off my back" I said coldly and then stormed away with my bag

I'm not under his control, I wasn't then and I'm not now, he probably thought he was trying to protect me but right then I wasn't in a place to let him, he wanted to help me, but I wasn't in the position to take it
