The Outspread

Chapter Sixteen ; Escaping

Chapter Sixteen ;

"Are you okay?" Zayn asks after the silence we left behind with Louis. I didn't do anything. I just looked around. I didn't want to answer. He knew what happened already. But why was he defending me? He had a girlfriend... did Zayn have feelings for me?

" let's go back. We've got what we need. " he said as I looked over, swing him carry and pack stuff. I nodded and we went back to where Louis was.

He was there alright. He was just sitting.

"Let's go. " Zayn said to Louis but all Louis did was glare and gave a dirty smirk to Zayn.

"yeah. " Louis responded as he got up. I gulped. The tension was rising as Louis came close to me. He stopped and took one look at me and gave me a disgusted look. My heart dropped as he bumped me back with his shoulder and walked to get his bag behind me. I was on the verge of tears. 'Why did I do this?' I questioned my thoughts. I shook the thoughts out as we hauled our stuff on our shoulders and backs. Boy was it heavy.

We check clear of the outside seeing any of the zombies. The walkers. So far nothing but I knew it could smell us. Not good.

" it can smell us. " I said keeping an eye at the window.

" how do you know? " Zayn asks. I rolled my eyes as I took my eyes off of them.

" we're human. And they're not. Our flesh is different. " I said.

"smart ass. " Louis said under his breath. 'Dafuq is wrong with him?' I thought.

" okay we need to get out. If they smell us... " Zayn stopped he didn't know what to say.

" we have to... have they're blood on us or..." I stopped I didn't have another idea.

" or we exit through the back with the extra car. Duh. " Louis said heading back.

I rolled my eyes and Zayn and I followed. We found Louis and a really small car. Like tiny. It was though mini cars for saving power.

" that's not gonna fit us. Or our stuff. " I said.

" well what do you want to do?" Louis said coming at me closer and closer. Almost to my face. But Zayn's hand got in the way.

"lets not start. " he said. Then Louis went up to his face. They started arguing and I had to join thanks to them having me in their conversation.

Moans came and it felt like I only heard it. Closer and closer as Louis and Zayn raised theyre voices and finally one came. Then two. Then five. And more.

" SHUT UP GUYS AND FIGHT. " I exclaimed as they came closer and closer. Our backs were together. For our safety. We couldn't lose anyone. At all.

More and more came double than before. We had to go. All around even the front started flooding except the big car window. I slapped both their arms for their attention.

" OVER HERE !" I said as I ran with our stuff to the car windows and smashed the glass with the back of my gun. I ran out with them behind us. And all the stuff too. We booked our way to the car as Louis shot some out of the way. And so was I. Zayn was just kicking them off. We reached the car and threw all the stuff in as quick as possible. Finally we escape. The adrenaline was fast and still in me. But something was wrong. That gut feeling came upon me.
