~Chapter 3~

"Hey Zara" Brenda smiled gently as Zara slowly opened her eyes. She looked around to see Minho, Newt, Aris, Thomas, Frypan, Teresa, Brenda and Jorge standing around. Jorge was standing in front of the same old man from yesterday. 

Zara tried to get up but hissed in pain and grabbed her side.

"Zara what is it?" Jorge walked over

"Nothing" 

"Z-" Thomas started but she shot a glare at him telling him 'don't you dare' He cowered back and shut up. 

"It's really nothing, i think i'm just sore." She smiled and Jorge went back to the old man

"Well then Marcus..." Zara tuned out and couldn't take her mind off the pain. Marcus' head turned to Zara and he spoke

"Hey you, you were saying about meth crystals, where do you suppose i could find those?"
He smiled a nasty smile

"Up your ass" Zara said and stuck up the middle finger and averted her vision from him.

He saw Newt, Minho and Frypan trying to hold in their laughter. She couldn't care less whether they thought she was funny or not. She wasn't trying to be.

Next thing she knew they were all crammed in a car. Zara sat in the open trunk with Frypan and Newt

"Don't think we've ever met properly, names Frypan" He said and stuck out his hand

"Zara" She smiled and shook his hand

"I'm Newt" Newt said and also shook her hand. She smiled and they were in silence again

"So how old are you?" Frypan asked

"Oh 14" She said. They exchanged glances

"Yo that's really young" Frypan stated

"Mhm" She hummed and look out at the view and let the wind brush her hair a little

"Whats that?" Newt asked and pointed at her tattoo

"Oh its a tattoo I got with my best friend" She smiled as she lifted up her sleeve to show them.

"He had an older friend who did it. Jorge wasn't too happy but i love it" 

"Its really cool but what does it mean?" Frypan said and tried to read it

"Its Arabic for 'to the moon and back' He got one that said 'i love you' and when you put them together.. well you can guess what it says" She chuckled

"Where is he?" Newt asked

"He uh, he's dead" She said quieter

"Oh sorry" He said and gave her a sad smile

"Mind me asking how?" Frypan asked

"Well, he got bitten by a crank and he killed himself before he turned into one." She held onto the necklace he gave her as she recalled what happened.

"Shit that's awful, sorry" Newt said

"It's fine" She smiled

"Thomas told us everything that happened while we were apart" Newt informed her. She raised her head quickly

"He what?" 

"Yeah, he said how you shot those guys easily and saved his life and how you insulted Marcus and could tell that he drugged the drink but drank it anyway to find us" He explained. She let go of a breath she didn't know she was holding. She knew he promised but these were his best friends. 

"Your a pretty badass kid" Frypan chuckled. She looked at him and started laughing too. Soon they were all making jokes and laughing. She got pretty close with them during the car trip. Soon she drifted into a very much needed sleep.

"Zara wake up" She was gently shaken awake and she realised she fell asleep on Newt's shoulder

"Shit sorry" She said rubbing  her eyes

"No don't worry" He smiled and helped her out of the car. They were walking between cars when many gunshots fired. She was grabbed and pulled behind a car. It was Thomas who was next to Jorge

"sup" she said

"Sup? You nearly got shot!" Jorge whisper shouted

"OH. Yeah thanks" She smiled and sat cross legged.
