We continued our journey a while ago but we haven't stopped talking. Closing in on the town I lean back into the seat listening to him ramble on, I can't say ramble that's too mean, I honestly don't mind, as he continues I think about everything we have talked about, it reminds me a lot of Noah. "Are you even listening any more Rose" he says with a slight chuckle, looking over a smirk crosses my face "Of course I am, how dare you assume otherwise" I reply jokingly in a stern tone. "What did I just say then?" he questions returning the same tone. Shit. "You were talking about how the sun looks really nice this morning" I state fully seriously. Not even a second wasted and he bursts out laughing, "you have no clue do you, god just admit it, I don't mind, honest" Joining in his laughter I gaze forward seeing the town saying we are entering the town. "We have finally reached this town, we still going to drive straight through it?" I ask as we discussed stopping and resting of just carrying on until we reached where he thought was right. "Let's drive through and see what it is like, how about that?" he asks with his tone sounding rhetorical. Humming to myself I state "If there is ice cream, we need to stop, you need to try one of the best food's ever" Hearing another chuckle I cannot help but look over, he has grown on me a lot. Watching his eyes look over we make eye contact as he replies teasingly "Yes, anything for you." That's another thing, he has started teasing me and it is quite funny to see, I love how laid back we are. It honestly feels like we were best friends before. Laughing in return we begin to pass through the first few houses. Observing the houses they just look like any normal town house this far out but as we drive further in gasp seeing art littering the streets. Not just any art, my art, the symbol of the rebellion. Crowds are gathered along the streets making way as we drive through. "Can we pull over for a bit, I don't think we should continue through this crowd for now" Will asks.
It took a while to find a spot to park especially with the crowd moving slowly but as we pull up we both leave the car locking it. Quickly making my way through the crowd to the other side of the car I reach Will, making eye contact we begin walking through the crowd to god knows where. A crunching sounds makes me look down, gasping in surprise pills littering the ground, everyone here has dropped the pills, they should all be able to feel, they should all have emotion. "Will, these people, they haven't been taking the pill I was telling you about" I say my tone conveying pure delight as I begin to look back up. Standing tall I cannot see him, the crowd covering my vision, where is he? Turning around I try to find him, but the crowd is too dense. "Will" I shout "Where are you?" Beginning to push through the crowd in an attempt to find him realisation sets in that I am lost. Lost in a crowd full of people I don't know. Tears brim my eyes as I got more forceful pushing people out of the way hearing multiple complaints from people behind me. Continuing to shout tears begin to drip as I begin to hyperventilate. Never been in such a situation in my life I begin to panic. Anxiety filling my body. My body starts slowing as my tears begin to drop now, standing still in this crowd i look down wiping my tears away with my hands but they don't stop coming. Listening closely I swear I hear an echo of my name, gazing up for a moment my eyes already going red I see him. Coming closer and closer as my heart beats faster and faster. Before I can even speak he embraces me in a hug, holding me in his harms. I feel his breath on my neck as I burry my face into his. I just begin to cry. Hearing whispers of comfort my arms wrap around him tightly pulling him even closer. Crying into his shoulder I feel his hand gently caress my back in an act of comfort and help. I have no idea how long passes before I whimper out "I thought I lost you, I was so scared" feeling the hug loosen I look up as we meet eyes. "I'm so sorry, I never meant for this to happen, I thought you wrecked behind me" he exclaims. Fully peeling away i reply "I don't blame you, gosh, sorry for being so emotional, if it is okay please can we head back to the car?" "Yes, let's go straight away, we can get ice cream in an another town" he chuckles out at the end attempting to lighten the mood. Watching him stand tall he looks around presumably for the car. "Follow me" he says gently grabbing hold of my hand as we begin to make way through the crowd.
We've been in the car for a few minutes now finally leaving the town, we are both sat in comfortable silence as I murmur out "Thanks" feeling a gentle squeeze on my hand Will replies "Any time love, any time." As we drive along at a consistent speed i keep a hold of his hand as I lift my legs onto the chair getting comfortable. In an attempt to lighten the mood I question "Are we still going to that place you think we are going to or whatever?" Hearing him chuckle he replies teasingly "If that is okay with you, oh almighty Rose." Both chuckling we start a conversation which goes on for a few minutes. "Also, do we have a radio?" Will questions, letting go of his hand I press a button hearing a static crackle and just put it into the first station I can and turn the volume up a bit whilst it connects. Grabbing hold of his hand I lean back again waiting for it to connect. Barely a minute passes before it connects to a station, as we both listen in we both hear the announcement "We have identified the fugitive as Rose Orion along with an accomplice recently sighted in Oakland town a few hours from Transmission Prime, if you see them, call us immediately" My heart beat quickens, my gasps get louder until I feel a strong squeeze on my and looking over looking me in the eye he says. "I will keep you safe Rose, we will get through this. Together."
