"Again im really sorry.." i said with a guilt expression on my face he seemed to feel embarrassed because he was looking everywhere else but me. For a second i thought i might still not have a shirt on and checked breathing a long sigh of relief. i caught him looking at me soon after and i averted my eyes from the road for a few seconds and awkwardly smiled at him. He was directing me to his house to check on his parents whether on not there were still there and i didn't wanna be that one person who always seems to think they're smarter than everyone else and ask why he didn't just call them.
He quickly turned and started looking around the car as if this was his first time in the car. "Cute kids.." he said and i turned to see what he was talking about, he was looking in the backseat at the kids who were watching something on YouTube and i turned to focus on the road again and smilef to my self just remembering just how much i loved them. "Thanks" i finally said amd he just nodded.
if we weren't headed in the opposite direction of where i was supposed to meet my dad id be not to sound like a bad person sort of grateful for the accident. I landed on his leg pretty hard forcing it to turn in a direction it normally doesn't turn and he was unable to drive something about his left leg being useless. I instantly offered my help and he reluctantly agreed. He wasn't much of a talker which was shame because he had a voice of a god and it ticked all the correct boxes.
It thirty minutes to get to his parents house and i let him go in alone. i was second guessing my decision when i saw him limping quite weird its like he couldn't put weight on the leg but knew he had to at least try and the sight warmed my heart and i felt kind of sorry for him but how could I when this was the same man who left us for dead on the side of the road.
i started to feel angry so i looked away and i watched my kids looking from window to window wondering where we are and just marveled at the beautiful houses. i wouldn't mind walking in this neighborhood everyday taking the kids to preschool. After like what felt like forever he was coming back looking so sad but i didn't care. He came in sat down and didn't look me. "Lets go" he said with his voice no longer godly and he just stared at his fingertips. The vibe he had brought with him was intense it made my children calm and sit quietly almost immediately. i didn't wanna be nosyand decided this was a good time to push my own agenda.
We had been driving for a while now thats when i notice alot of people heading in one direction and i wanted to check what was happening they may be heading to an evacuation helicopter or something and needed to know. I nudged the stranger he instantly looked up startled and looked up to me i nodded my head in the direction of the people . "Where are the going?" he asked straightening his posture to get a better view.
"I don't really know and i wanna check it out just in case its a evacuation platform or something like.."
"Alright" and that was all i needed to hear and started driving in the direction of the people in a narrow road.
Typical human idiots of course there is no evacuation helicopter here. Just like them to think stupidly at a time like this and decide no instead of dashing off to safety lets stay here and loot. Pitful.
i felt shame as a part of me wanted to join them although its irresponsible and callous especially for someone who has children, it'd help us out a lot though.The food for the kids is almost finished and now there is the man i injured can't really eat while he watches now can we, even it would teach him a valuable lesson dont wanna set a bad example for my kids. Way to go Loraine. only i can make a already complicated situation worse
So if he is to join us i mean if we are to join him on this journey we need to get more supplys. Can't go to war unarmed and unarmored. Now i gotta go discuss it with the only other adult in that car if he disagrees then we won't go and if he agrees then iminate danger here we come. Im trusting a complete stranger to make a decision about something that is barely his responsibility but up until now my decision making skills are questionable him being here with us is proof of that dont gotta look far.
