The Road Trip

Ok guys this chapter is just kinda a trip down memory lane for Jake he decides to take a road trip that's all I'll say and now on to the story....

Jakes POV:

It's the day after our birth day and I got an idea a road trip I think i wanna head back to the camp and see if I can get to the house

I pack a bag and I'm about half way done when Carl walks in "what are you doing?" I keep packing he grabs my shoulder and turns me starring into my eyes

"Fine I'm going back to the camp and my house"

"Are you crazy Jake?" He yells

"You can't stop me those are the last things I have of her" I couldn't say mom he gets it and gives in

"Fine but I'm going" I take the deal and we pack then load into the car at the gate Rick stops our car I roll down the window

"Yes officer?" I tease he just starts talking "where you boys goin?" I explain and Rick understands he gives his permission

On the way out Rick stops us one last time "say my respects to her will ya?" I nod and we drive out

A few hours later we pull up to the old dirt road that lead to the camp I drive up its still bumpy and rugid but we make it up no walkers I stop the car and get out I see my moms grave and go over to it I get on my knees

The grave is brightly colored in crayon blue green and red and in the middle one word 'mommy' at this I fall into a flashback

Flashback:

Rick walks in with my moms grave "you wanna decorate it Jake?" I nod a tear in my eye I blink it away and grab my crayons and pick three colors my favorite color red moms blue and dads green

I make a nice pattern and then in black I write mommy so any one who comes up knows her child survived Rick rubs my back "it's ok I know it's hard but we can't let that drag us down" I nod

After that I turn and release about a gallon of tears into ricks shirt he hugs me tight and after I'm done he pats me on the back as I sniffle

"You ready now?" He asks I nod and he takes my hand as we go out I go to change into moms favorite of my outfits

End Flashback:

When I come too Carl has a tent and a small fire done I walk over and sit in a chair he'd set down for me it's silent for a bit but being back gets to me I start crying and run to the tent Carl puts out the fire and fallows zipping the tent behind him

I'm on the cot as Carl sits next to me rubbing my back like Rick would I sniff and peck his lips he dose it back and we go to bed

The next morning we pack up and climb in the truck we're gunna try my house we head out and park outside the city just to be safe we walk in nothing at all Atlanta is dead even of the dead

I see my old street Oxford street I run over and check round the Corner nothing my house is there I motion to Carl it's safe and I head for my house it's still locked up I grab the spare key and unlock the door Carl joins me we clear the house nothing the only room left un opened is my room

We lock up and I set my stuff in the couch and I walk up the stairs and down the hall to the last room on the right its shut I grab the handle it feels oddly exiting just grabbing my old door knob I turn it and swing the door open automatically I see my old sign

It read:

Dear: who ever you are i'm not here right now please wait till I come back thanks
Jake.
