“Life isn’t fair, honey.” Gina chuckled.

“You can at least have a bit more sympathy.” Amy snarled. “You’re the reason I’m in this mess to begin with.” She said breathlessly.

“Me!” Gina yelled. “This is just as much your fault as it is min- oh what the hell!” She shouted, shocked by the tree branch that hit her in the back of the head, dropping the big black trash bag on the ground.

Looking back with a concerned and slightly annoyed face. Amy groaned while dropping her two bags. “Oh my god Gina. What are you doing?” She asked, squinting, trying to see Amy.

“I was hit by a freakin’ tree branch... I’m fine by the way, thanks for asking.” Gina groaned, trying to pick her bag back up, and continuing to fail. 

“Why are you even struggling? I have twice as many bags as you.” Amy asked, becoming slightly annoyed. 

“Oh give. Me. A. Break.” 

“What it’s true? You have one bag and I have two, so there should be no reason that you can't carry your ONE bag and I can carry my two just fine!”

“Girl. Let’s not do this.” Gina chuckled. “You may have two bags, but your bags only have Emily’s-”

“Dont!”Amy yelled, still catching her breath.”Don't say her name.”

“If that's how you’re going to react everytime you hear her name then we're screwed.” Gina cackled, loud voice echoing in the large, empty forest. Grunting, as she was finally able to pick up her bag, Gina grumbled. “Now enough chit chat. We should be able to bury her up there.”  

Once at the spot, Gina turned to Amy saying, “Hand me the shovel would yah.” 

“Was- Was I supposed to bring one?” Amy said nervously. Slowly backing away, in fear of what Gina might do.

After a few minutes of silence Amy started getting nervous. “Gina? You okay?”

“No.” Gina sighed. “I'm not okay, I have been dragging the body of a girl that I JUST MURDERED through the woods for the past half hour in the hope that by tomorrow we could put this night behind us. Only to find out that you DIDN'T bring THE DAMN SHOVEL!” Gina started pacing back and forth.”I need a drink.” She sighed.

“You know you're not old enough to do that right.” 

“YES I KNOW!”

“Well um, maybe we use some tree branches,I know it'll take longer but it's better than going all the way back to the car.”

Gina looked at Amy with an unreadable expression on her face. “That's one of the dumbest ideas I've heard in a while.”

“Well I don't hear any ideas coming from you! You’re the reason we’re in this mess to begin with.” Amy mumbled

Gina’s eyes grew, shocked by what she was hearing. “Oh I'm sooo sorry that I saved your life. I'm actually interested in knowing what you wanted me to do, let her stab you?” Said Gina, chuckling.

“Oh spare me. You could have taken the knife or grabbed her. But no, you had to hit her upside the head with a ten pounded book, sending her body tumbling down a flight of stairs!” Amy yelled 

Gina looked at Amy confused before saying,”So you wanted me to let her stab you. Okay.Good to know.” Gina said with a tight smile on her face.

“Just grab a branch so we can get this over with.”
