Okay, let's give it a try

------------------------------------------

His hands were shaking, but the gun pointed directly at my forehead. He stared into my eyes, his look terrified and desperate.

He hesitated, "Are you infected?"

I shook my head and showed him my wrists and legs as a proof.

He didn't seem convinced, "Why should I trust you? You could have bruises everywhere else."

"That's your decision, but I promise you."

His look wandered up and down my body to search for bites, then he nodded insecurely, "Okay, come in. Oh god, the others will kill me."

The others? Who else was here? Caspar for sure, but who else? Jim? Tanya? Who would save himself in such an apartment? It wasn't safe at all! I followed him into the livingroom, where several cans of food and bottles were stored. He shoved me into the middle from where everyone could see me and the other way round. I dared to look around so that I could realize who was here.

Alfie was sitting on the couch, Zoe who looked injured laying on his chest, Caspar in the kitchen, Jim and Tanya with him. All of them stared at me, more or less scared and confused.

"Who is she?", Jim finally asked, rather sceptical.

Joe sighed, "She recognized me. I couldn't...kill her just like that."

Just like that? Okay, that meant I wasn't out of the danger zone yet, amazing. Why had Joe the gun anyways? Why not Jim or Alfie, somebody more mature? Okay, I should be happy, from Jim's expression I could tell that he would have killed me most likely.

"Joe! You can't just let random people in! Have you checked if she's infected?", Alfie still watched me.

"I have! She's not! Would you have killed her if she had said your name? I couldn't, okay?"

Who would have thought that YouTube would save my life in a zombie apocalypse one day? Although I would have loved to meet those people on another occasion, but you can't always get what you want.

I turned to Alfie, "I won't stay long, just until the infected down there are gone! I promise."

Joe laughed, "Come on, how long will you survive alone?"

"I've survived for a month now so I guess I can do that."

He shook his head, "Not in London. Where are you from? You sound south."

I decided that telling them the truth about where I was from wasn't the best idea so I pretended to be from Southhampton. Close enough. I also told them my name and my story, a little changed, but as true as possible. I noticed that Joe seemed to trust me pretty fast, same with Caspar and Tanya, but Alfie and Jim didn't. Zoe was so sick that she fell asleep every five minutes.

I learned that Zalfie had left Brighton before the worst happened, Janya's region in London wasn't safe enough so the went to Jaspar's and Jaspar...well the just stayed there. Zoe was injured during a robbery in a supermarket where she and Alfie tried to get some last things. Somebody had wildly shot around and hit her in the upper arm.

"I could have a look at it.", I suggested, "Maybe I can help."

Alfie still wasn't sure, "You're a little too young to be a doctor, huh?"

"In one of the camps I stayed in somebody teached me a bit. Hey, I just want to help the girl that I've always looked up to."

Tanya nodded at Alfie, "She probably knows more than we do. Come on."

Slowly he let her go and made her sit up on the couch. Zoe opened her eyes and moaned in pain. I sat down next to her and took a look at the wound. It was only a graze, but it was sore and hadn't been treated well.

"I need alcohol and clean bandages. In case you have iodine, give me that, too. Has none of you ever though about cleaning it better? Joe, give me that health kit from over there, it should contain stuff to stich aswell."

Joe handed me the health kit, which gladly contained everything I needed. I first cleaned the wound what made Zoe cringe and whimper, but it had to be done. Alfie kissed her forehead and whispered "I love you." until I was done.

"I'll have to stich it now, it will hurt again. But after that the injury should get better."

Her eyes stared at me in a frightened way what reminded me of my cat back when it got scared. It broke my heart how the beautiful young lady sat there, all curled up, in pain. I made the first stich, she whimpered again. Luckily only four stiches were necessary, but they were enough to make her cry. I could help but hug her after I was done, it felt so terrible hurting her!

She smiled weakly, "It's okay. You did your best."

"I'm so sorry! Sleep now, the pain will get better soon."

Alfie made her lay down again, then turned to me, "Thanks...That was great."

"It's okay. But she'll have a scar."

"This is not the generation of beauty anymore. This is run and die.", Joe gave me a warm look, "But still thank you for caring about her."

I sat down next to her and brushed a straw of hair out of her face, "And now? What are you going to do with me?"

Joe crossed his arms, "I would keep her. Come on guys, we can't send a young girl who's just saved  Zoe back to all those sick creatures. That's humilation!"

Jim laughed, "Joe, there is ONLY humilation out there."

Tanya stepped away from her boyfriend, "I won't let her go. I'm with Joe, Caspar is, too. Aren't you?"

The tall one nodded, so did Alfie, "That's for saving the love of my life."

Everyone looked at Jim, he shrugged, "Okay. But you'll have to work, too. Tomorrow we'll go into town and get some clothes. You'll help."

I nodded, "Sure. Everything."

Joe showed me a place to sleep, it was an old matress.

"I hope you're okay with me sleeping there, too. I made Zalfie sleep in my bed, so Zoe's safe and Alfie can stay with her." Caspar is staying on the couch, Janya are down in his bed, it's bigger. And I got the mattress. Yay.", he smiled, "But also we're both tiny, so that's okay."

I had to confess: Spending a night with Joe Sugg had been different in my imagination, but I was okay with it. I was alive, all what matters.
