Entry 832
Sunday 6th January 2019

Seth and I are still stuck in this sh*thole of an abandoned basement surrounded by dusty bricks, heavy rubble and damaged debris. I think I managed to get two hours sleep or so, but not much more than that. Thankfully no infected have shown up, but I've found a small piece of debris with a sharp bit sticking out of it, so if any infected do turn up I'll be able to deal with them – providing too many don't come at once.

I've looked around the basement again. There's definitely only one door and it's sealed shut with the infected on the other side. I tried to get out of the basement by piling large bits of rubble on top of each other so I could try and climb up everything, and climb back up to the next floor to try and find a way out of here and get help. It didn't work. Everything just kept falling down and I wasn't able to construct anything big enough to help me reach the upper level.

Poor Seth looks like he's suffering. I could really do with looking at his leg, but it's well and truly pinned under the heavy girder. I just hope it isn't starting to get infected. I did all I could to take Seth's mind off the pain. Instead of telling him all about me, I got him to tell me all about him. He told me about how he and Naomi were inseparable as kids, and how they were madly in love with each other as teenagers. Part of me felt a bit uncomfortable and slightly jealous hearing this but it did take his mind off of the pain. He told me about working for GRID, and dedicating his life to helping others and saving people. He told me that he used to be in the Army, and that he served in Afghanistan before working for GRID. "Not anymore though," said Seth, as he tried his best to deal with the pain, "I quit." "Come on," I said, "You don't mean that." "I do," said Seth, "I told you yesterday. I've had it with GRID. I'd rather have a job working in Sainsbury's. Naomi and Sophie should be my priority now, not GRID. I've neglected them both for too long. When I get back to the island, I'm telling Blade that I want out." I think Seth means what he's saying, but right now that's not important. I just need to keep his mind off the pain and try and keep us safe.

Listening to Seth talk about quitting GRID to spend more time with Naomi and Sophie has made me realise that me and Naomi are never going to get together. Naomi loves Seth, Seth adores her. He's even going to leave GRID. I guess I just need to accept that Naomi and I are only ever destined to be friends.

I'm really hungry. I don't have any food but thankfully there's a bottle of water in my bag, but I'm having to share it between Seth and I, so I'm currently rationing it to make it last as long as possible.

It's getting dark again, so it looks like Seth and I are going to be spending another night here. Part of me feels really depressed but another part of me is worried. I really hope we get found soon...
