The Survivors (Ross Lynch Fanfic)

chapter 7

Chapter 7

"Where are you taking me?" I ask Ross cautiously. "A place." "A place?" "Yes." I smile a little, still trying to get over Josh's death. Me and Ross have been in this forest for an entire week now and I really just want to be home... but is it really a home when your loved ones are gone? To be honest with you, the only friend I have now is Ross. I feel Ross pick me up and put me in a seat. "What the- where am I?!" I ask, feeling around where I am. "Shh.." Is all I hear him say.

I wake up in a bedroom, lying on a soft, comfy bed. Yes! Maybe this was just all a dream! There wasn't a bomb in my town, my sister isn't dead, and neither is Josh! But... where am I, then? I nervously go to look out a nearby window and see the most strangest trees ever. They are so tall and they have green spikes coming out from the way top of them. I go to look at the ground, which is a white color and seems like teeny tiny pebbles. Where the hell am I? Right then the door creeks open and Ross comes walking in with these pink swim shorts on and no shirt. Again, I am mesmerized by those abs of his. "W-where am I?" I question, getting up off the bed, noticing I am in a T-shirt and jean shorts. Wait, how did I get changed??? "This is where I live! Have you ever been to California?" "Um.. What's Cali-fornia?" I try to sound out the unfamiliar word. Ross raises an eyebrow. "Guess you haven't been here!" "Ross... how did I get changed into these pants and T-shirt?" I notice his face get slightly red. "Um-" Right then the door to the room opens and a girl with long, strait blonde hair peeks her head into the room. Ross swiftly turns around. "Heyyy guys!" goes the girl, giving me a smile. "Hey, sis. Come one in; she's awake," says Ross, motioning for the girl to come in. I run a hand through my messy hair, trying to make myself look half way decent. "Shally, this is my sister Rydel. Rydel, this is Shally." "Hi!" Rydel says cheerfully. "Hey," I go. "I like your name. It's so different," she tells me, putting her arm around Ross. "Oh, thanks." She gives me a smile as she walks out the door. If I didn't know any better I would have though her and Ross were boyfriend and girlfriend. But I never really had a brother, well, I never really had a brother long enough to find out what brothers and sisters do together. Ross joins me on the bed. "Does she, uh, maybe hate me or something?" I ask, referring to Rydel. "What, no! She's just in an upset mood right now, don't worry about her." "Oh- okay..but why is she upset-" "it's a long story no time to talk about that." Ross leads me out of the room and into his backyard where other people are in the pool. "Hey, guys!! I have someone to introduce you to!" yells Ross, bringing me closer to the pool. Everyone gets out of the pool and stares me down like I am some kind of bug you just squished on the sidewalk. "Hi," I say, blushing. I have never been so shy in my entire life!! One of the guys whistles, still staying on his float in the pool. "Hoooot," goes another, mouth wide open. I start to feel uncomfortable, and Ross can sure fire tell. He gives them a sinister look, quickly bringing me to his front lawn. "Why did you take me here?" I ask, just wishing this was all a dream and my life was back to normal. "There was no other place to go. Your town is ruined! I told you, you and me are the only survivors." I can't help but feel like this was all his fault. It is his fault. HE burned down my town. Now, here I am, standing here with the enemy who killed everyone i ever knew...
