[b]Jessalyn - The Road[/b]

Jess finished feeding Ben and lowered her shirt before pulling off the jacket she'd been covering with. As she patted his back, trying to get him to burp, she looked at Abram. "Where should we go now?" she asked. "The sign said that Baton Rouge wasn't far. Do you think perhaps we should go there and see if there is anything we can use? We might be able to find some shelter for the night too."
She was just suggesting things. Jess was comfortable with following Abram's lead. She trusted him to make a good decision that would benefit them all. Like Floyd, he had never given her a reason to doubt him yet.

Floyd... his face appeared in her mind yet again and she felt the stab of sadness in her heart. Where was he? Was he still alive? Had he found a new group, a new girl to...
She shoved the thought away. It was too depressing to think that he had found someone new and forgotten about her. But what if he had? What if he wasn't even looking for her? After all, she had been pregnant at the time and only a hassle for him to deal with. 
But their kiss... surely he hadn't forgotten their kiss... it had meant something to him, just as it had to her, she was sure of it.
Jess wasn't sure when exactly she had fallen in love with him, couldn't pinpoint the moment, but she knew that it had happened. She loved him and she would always search for him, no matter how long it took.

A sound brought her from her thoughts. Was that... vehicles?
"Abram," she said urgently, looking towards the woods. "Do you hear that? It sounds like cars. Big ones."
Was there a group nearby? Were they friendly? Would they have food? Water? Would they have seen Floyd?

[b]Katie - Apartment - Tyler, Scarlet[/b]

After the man was gone they headed back to the apartment. Katie allowed Caleb and Scarlet to take care of her cuts and clean her up but she really only wanted her daddy, but she stayed quiet and didn't make a fuss.
The quiet only last until her daddy came in and hugged her. She threw her little arms around his neck and hugged him back, crying. "I'm sorry daddy," she said, "I'm sorry. He grabbed me and I couldn't get away. I tried. I tried really hard daddy," she assured him, but she still felt terrible about all the trouble she had caused. It was a miracle no one had gotten hurt because of her. She pulled back to rub her eyes.
"I love you," she told him. "I knew you would come and get me."

She was quiet for a few minutes, just standing there hugging him. Then she pulled back and looked at him sadly. "Daddy? Why did he call me dirty? Am I dirty? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry."
