waking up without a memory

chapter 19

They say once theirs life their is hope. I don't believe it though, because right now i don't think hope will be coming my way. I have a fractured ankle which will take up to six week to completely heal. Simon has been the one taking care of me since i woke up. I have been sleeping for three days without getting up. Simon is like the doctor here. He said he use to be a doctor before the whole disease swipe out the world. I have not leave the tent since I have been inside. Aaron had tried countless of time to talk to me, but i don't think  am ready to accept his apology. I wish that what is happening is all a dream and i would just finally wake up and laugh about it. That's not going to happen though.

I looked up to see simon coming in the tent with some clothes in his hands. "Here are the clothes that i got for you. I think they will be a little big." He mumbled out.

"Its OK Sy, anything is better that what am wearing now." I smiled at him. Simon and i have gotten close for the week i have been here. That's how i gave him the nickname Sy.

"So are you ready to walk for the first time, with these crutches?" He asked taking up a crutch that was mad out of board.

"Ready as i will ever be, captain Sy. I said chuckling.

He came over where i was lying and place his arms under my armpit to take my body off the the cloth bed. When my body was finally off the bed i put all my weight on my good foot, while keeping the next one of the ground. I stumbled a bit and simon held me around the waist.

"Do you know how to use these things?" He asked, handing me the crutch stick.

"I think i will get the hang of it." I said position them under my armpit.

I took my time and went out from under the tent. I inhale the sent of fresh air that engulf me as i stepped out. It has been so long since i have been outside and it feels great. I let out the breath that i was holding in and close my eyes.

"Feels great ahhg ?" I heard Simon saying. I opened my eyes and took one more view of the place.

"Its perfect." I breathed out. A lot of  tent made a circle on the open area. People and a couple young children move around laughing and playing. 

"Wow, i didn't know that it was so many of you. I said looking around. It felt good seeing so many people walking around alive and happy. It makes me feel alive again.

"Yea we have a couple. Most off us died because of the disease though.

We started to walk and make small talks and just accept life just as it is. Simon make things seems easy. As if their is nothing to be worrying about, and that's why i liked him. He told me about his parents dying from the disease leaving just him and his sister alone. I was frighten when i found out that the red head girl was his sister, because they don't look alike. He said the reason she don't have blond hair is because she dyes it red and she has her mom green green eyes.

We have been walking for about an hour and a half now. I blocked out the pain that would shoot through my ankle and just admire the beauty of everything. That's when i saw Aaron with Sy sister Clara, sitting and broken tree with her head on his shoulder giggling. I feeling went through my body that i don't understand myself. I felt broken and angry.  He seems happy around her and that's what hurt the most.

"Simon!" She shouts out her brother name. Aaron looked up and our eyes meet. I couldn't move my eyes from staring at him. It was as if he was the only person in the world. I saw all different emotion passing trough Aaron face, then he looked to simon and back at me and his face turned hard as a stone.

"Come on." Simon said with his hands on my shoulder. I didn't want  to go but eventually we did.

"Whats up?" simon asked Clara.

"You know the usual, Aaron and i was just talking about the fishes that we caught today. If was so fun." She said trying to hold in her excitement but failed to do so. I rolled my eyes watching how she clings to Aaron biceps.

"That sound fun." simon said smiling at his idiot sister.

"I see your learning to walk with crutches. BTW you look like a mess." She said with her face crunched up, gesturing to my dirty clothes from when i fell in the hole.

"Clara." Simon warned.

"Thanks for stating the obvious. At least am not clinging to a guy that don't even have interest in me." I barked out and turned around to leave. I heard her gasped out from behind me and simon telling her to stop behave in such a bad manner.

That's when i heard a loud ear piercing screaming coming from one of the tenths, sending chills throughout my body.
