Chapter 13- The Aftermath

                                    

                                          
Kenji led us to my bed and I sat on it. 
I was still upset after what happened and I think Kenji realised that.
"You still haven't seen what clothes they gave you.". 
"What?".
He sighed. "The clothes that were in the bag, that they gave us yesterday?".
"Oh yeah." .
When I opened the bag, I screamed. 
"What's wrong?" Asked Kenji in a panic. 
I took out the clothes that were in the bag and screamed once again. 
"I still don't understand why you're screaming?".
"Are you seeing what I am seeing?" I asked., 
"clothes?" Kenji replied.  
"I hate them!" I cried.
"why?" He asked. 
"I wanted a dress!". 
"That's not practical". 
"But I want one!". 
"But this is nice!" He said referring to my clothes. 
It was a plain white t-shirt and a turquoise hoodie and matching tracksuit bottoms. 
"I don't want them!" I said and threw them across the room. 
"Willow!" Kenji huffed and ran after them. He put them back on the bed. 
"Are you in your tantrum phase?" He asked.
"My what?".
"Forget it! But just be happy you have clothes and we have bigger problems like Ruth and Forest fighting and a whole zombie apocalypse, but I think you should put on your new clothes and let's try talk to Ruth and Forest, maybe they have sorted things out?".
"No I am never talking to Forest again, he is mean and rude and I hate him!" .
"I think he was just stressed and still scared about Ruth and when you started speaking he just got even more angry?". 
"Well I am going to give him a piece of my mind!" I said standing up and going to walk away but Kenji grabbed my arm and pulled me back. 
"That's not a good idea.. just put your clothes on in the bathroom and then meet me back here ok?". 
"Ok".
When I had changed I put the white t-shirt under my hoodie. The clothes were comfortable but I would still way rather a pink dress. I walked back over to Kenji. It had been a while since we seen Ruth and Forest so we decided to go to their beds. Ruth was lying on her bed on the bottom bunk and Forest was on top. They were still fighting but not shouting at each other, more like snarky comments, which I guess was a start. 
"Hey guys...." said Kenji. 
"Are you ok?" I asked Ruth. 
There was no blood on her, but her face was scratched and she had busted her lip open, but it wasn't swollen anymore. 
"I am fine!" She said smiling at me. Me and Kenji sat beside her on her bed.
"I thought you were going to die!" I said and wrapped my arms around her. 
She hugged me. 
"I thought she was going to die!" Kenji said with a smile. 
"She would have if someone hadn't of stopped me!" 
"No one would have died, let's not get ahead of ourselves!" Said Forest from the top bunk. 
"I don't know about that!" Said Ruth. 
"When you were punching her it was so cool, it was like a fight scene out of a movie! How did you know how to fight like that?" Asked Kenji.
"It wasn't cool, it was stupid and childish" 
"oh shut up Forest you are such a bore-bag!" Said Ruth.
"And it wasn't my first time getting into a fight! Have any of yous seen Stephanie?" Asked Ruth. "Nope!" Said Kenji. 
"Does Forest know you were fighting Stephanie?" I whispered. 
She stood up and looked up at him. 
"Do you?" She asked. 
"What?".
"Do you even know who I was fighting?".
"Does it matter?". 
"Yes, now did you know who I was fighting?".
"No". 
"it was Stephanie!".
"Who is Stephanie?" He asked.
I thought I told him she was fighting Stephanie but he must of just hear Ruth is fighting and ran to her.
"Remember when you first met me?".
"Yes Ruth, why does this matter?" He asked but Ruth ignored the question and continued. "Remember the girl with a gun to me and Willow's head?" . He sighed, he knew what was coming."Yes"
"The girl who also robbed my guns?". 
"Yes I remember Ruth!". 
"Good, well that's who I was fighting, not to mention she called me no time to dye, spelt D Y E making fun of my hair then pulled my hair, not that I needed to explain any of that to you! So that's why I fought her. I was deafening myself, and don't tell me you would do the same!" . Woah was not expecting that. Then she walked away. 
 "Ruth wait!" Forest called after her. But she didn't wait. 
Forest went to follow her, but before he could I stood up and glared at him. He looked down at me confused. So I kicked him in the shin. 
"Ow, what the hell was that for?" Asked Forest. 
"Because you shouted at me!" 
"When?" 
"Awhile ago!".
"Oh. Well I am very sorry Willow! But I have other people to apologise to right now!"
