Chapter Twelve

Two months later;

Time has stood still, no hope in sight of life going back to the way it was before. Everyday we live not knowing if the once survivors we met are still alive, or if there are others out there.

I take it day by day, ever since Jasper left us a few weeks ago without any notice or acknowledgment. Having left in the middle of the night, no note left behind or anything. I figured he left to retrieve his family, to see if they are still alive. I just wish he would have told me. Given us some sort of explanation.

Lucas had grown a close bond with him, spending more time with him than I before he departed. Helping me to understand my love is infinite for the both of them, and that maybe this life wasn't as bad as I thought. But now with his absence, I would rather have it this way. Just Lucas, my father and I.

Lucas hasn't said much since Jasper's departure, keeping to himself for the most part of the day's. My heart aching more for Lucas than anyone else.
