Erin's POV

****************

Not too long after we started attacking the zombies with the empty beer bottles, kian abrubtly told us to stop. I was confused. Wasn't it his idea to start throwing them in the first place? He seemed worried and concerned when he had told us to stop, I'm starting to think that alcohol is taking an after affect on him.

"How come we suddenly had to stop..? Wasn't it your idea in the first place?" Trevor throws sass into his words. Kian gives him a look, "We stopped because I think that they've had enough." Wait. When he said them did he mean the zombies? Why is he all of the sudden taking it easy in the zombies. I mean sure I feel sort of bad for having to kill people who were once alive, but that doesn't mean we can stop killing. Its the only way to survive. It's either killing them or practically turning into human happy meals.

If I've survived this long without a scratch, I'm not stopping here. I will continue to live until I physically can't.

I walk inside and look through the kitchen searching for something to eat. I haven't been eating as much as I used too lately, I guess I've lost my appetite. My hand searches one of the low cupboards, I pull out a small bag of chips. Not the healthiest choice however, eating healthy wasn't a big priority for me right now.

The bag opens with a 'pop' and I stuff my face. What can I say? When I'm hungry, I'm a pig. "God, slow down." My sister chuckles, I look at her and she laugh. "You got a little something..." Her finger points to the corner of my mouth. I can't help, but laugh slightly as I wipe my mouth with the sleeve of my shirt. Holy shit I'm a slob. Rather then devour the entire bag of chips, I decide to put them away.

Someone's arm wraps around my side and I can all ready tell who it is. "What do you want?" I let out a giggle ruffling his hair. "Nothing, just wanted to see you smile." He shows a cheeky grin. He's such a dork my God. I smile like an idiot and he laughs, for once this was peaceful. No body yelling at each other, no drama, it was finally starting to settle in. Being around these boys was beginning to feel like being around family, I can say that they've definitely made an impact on out little adventure through the zombie apocalypse. Sad to think that none of us will be able to ever have kids, tell them stories about this, about surviving an apocolypse. Sure, we can physically have kids, however I don't know why we would. We wouldn't be able to protect them well enough. Wouldn't survive.

Oh well, its a nice dream. Sam and I stand in silence for a while. It was nice. "Okay well," I start, breaking the silence, "I'm gonna go take a nap. You drunks were noisy last night." I tease. He rolls his eyes playfully and then kisses me. I kiss back then make my way upstairs. Kind of funny to think that I used to not be able to stand that kid and now, he's my boyfriend.

I shake myself out of thought and flop on the bed, still in the pajamas from last night. Oh well. I'll shower and change later. It didn't take very long for me to fall asleep.

-+When she wakes up/late afternoon+-

My eyes flutter open, a yawn escaping my lips. I stand up and stretch, my muscles all relaxed. "That was nice.." I grumble to myself. With that I leave the room and make my way to the bathroom. I might as well take that shower that I planned. My clothes fall to the floor and I step into the stand up shower. Afterwards, I turned the water off and stepped out, wrapping myself in a dry towel. I hum the rythem to a song as I walk back to the bedroom where my clothing was.

I shut the door and go to the drawers, pulling out clothes from each one. It took me less then 2 minutes to slip on sweat pants and a T-shirt. I didn't need to look fancy, so I might as well be comfortable. Once I turned around I noticed one of Sam's sweaters laying on the bed, I was pretty cold... I'm sure he won't mind anyways.

I pull the sweater over my head and slip my arms in. This thing was so fucking comfy holy. "No you stop.." I got dragged from my own thoughts, I heard giggling. "No you.." Now a male voice spoke. It sounded sort of muffled so I couldn't tell who it exactly was, my curiosity pulled me towards the giggling. "Stop it! Stop!" Another laugh. I peeked through the crack in the door that had been slightly opened. I couldn't hold back a smile. Before me, stood Paisley and Kian, fooling around and laughing. It made me feel happy to see her so cheerful, her smile was legit the best thing ever. It was nice to see how happy Kian made her, before they noticed me looking at them I left. Didn't want them to think I was some sort of creep, watching them mess around, tickling each other and shit.

They were adorable though.

I walked down the stairs, and straight to the couch. "Well goodmorning sleeping beauty, or should I say afternoon." Ricky greets me, making me grin. I took a seat on the couch, flipping through he channels on the TV. You'd think that the cable wouldn't be working at all, but its been working perfectly since we got here. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching movies with Ricky, Trevor, Sam and to my surprise, Jc. I still felt uneasy around him, but can you really blame me?

"Well. That was an afternoon well spent." Trevor chimes in, "mhmm." I nod. "Well, I'm out." Jc leaves, yawning in the process. "Same here, I'm getting pretty tired." Trevor tells us. I nod again and he leaves, "If you don't mind, I'd like to go to sleep as well." Ricky mumbles.. Trying not to be rude. After akk, we were in his sleeping area. I take Sam's hand and make my way back up those stairs, "Night Ricky!" I call back. He returns the 'goodnight' and I make my way to the room that Sam and I now shared.

"Nice sweater, where'd you get it?" Sam asks sarcastically. "Oh shut up I look adorable." I flatter myself. "Alright, how bout you keep it?" He offers, a bright smile crosses my face. "Thank you!" I reply, hugging him tightly. It was nice of him to let me keep it, I was in desperate need of warm sweaters.

"Could we stay up a little later? I'm not really tired.." I admit, "I guess, don't blame me if I fall asleep though." He explains, I laugh slightly and nod. "I won't."

He got changed into pajamas, and we both layed down in the bed. Slipped under the covers, nice and warm. "So.." An awkward feeling spread across the room. Instead of that peaceful silence, it turned into an awkward unbearable silence. "Tell me about yourself." He blurts out. Now that I think about it, we've never gotten the opportunity to just tell each other about ourselves. With that, we spent what felt like hours talking about who knows what. Finally, a day where nothing actually went wrong.
