Chapter 7: Just A Time of Living

We had been driving for 4 days and went through a detour through the woods. We came upon house with tall metal walls surounding about 10 acres of land. A door that lead out of the enclosed area was open. It was big enough to fit my car so we drove in. I stopped the car and let Ryan close the big metal door. It shut with a button he had found and you could hear it lock. We drove for 5 minutes and found a beautiful two story house. I told Alice and Tyler to stay in the car so me and Ryan could look inside. E checked to whole house, no zombies. We got back in the car and drove around the perimeter of the wall. No zombies. We drove back to the house and unloaded everything and saw that whoever lived here left everything. A note was on the fridge.

'To whomever has found my home, it is open to you. I was very old and ran with my daughters. There is years of food and water stocked in the cellar. The key to unlock the cellar is in the back of the picture in my room with me and my wife in it. Please. I wish you good luck in this nature of our world and may God be with you'. Signed Edmund 'Ed' Donald Garrader.

Ryan found the key and unlocked to cellar. Everything was there. The power to the house still worked because it had solar panels.

Alice found one of the daughters rooms and stayed in there for the night. As always me and Ryan took the master bedroom along with Tyler. Tyler was asleep within twenty minutes of laying his head to the pillow.

"Korii?" Ryan suddenly said.

"Yes?"

"I don't know what's going on...I mean, are we like together?"

I thought about it for a moment.

" If you want us to be."

"I do."

"Well then I guess we are."

Tyler started screaming and I ran over to him.

"Tyler! Tyler! What's wrong."

Tyler jolted up and grabbed me. Tears were coming down his face in rivers.

"What's wrong Tyler? What happened?"

"I had a bad dream." Tyler sniffed and layed back down, I laying next to him singing him a lullaby my grandmother sang to me. Before Tyler was asleep he whispered "I love you mommy.." and trailed off back into his dreams. I had noticed, out of the corner of my eye, Ryan had been watching me put Tyler back to sleep. I looked at Ryan.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked.

"You sing beautifully.."

"Oh..thanks."

Ryan was sitting in an arm chair and I went and sat in his lap.

"You'd be a great mother." he teased.

"Tyler said 'i love you mommy' to me."

Ryan looked at me and smiled.

"You could try and be his mom, and I his dad. I mean all he has left is you, Alice, and me..We can only try."

"I guess." was all I could say before drifting into sleep.

So that was that.. Ryan and me were now Tylers parents..

Chapter 8:

Ryan, Alice, Tyler and I have been staying at the house we found for 2 weeks now. Alice hadn't spoke in a week after I told her that Ryan and me were gunna be Tyler's "parents". I guessed she was angry but there was no way to tell.

Tyler and I had been getting along well. He hasn't stopped calling me mommy either; but I didn't mind.

After about 3 weeks of staying at the house, Alice got restless. She came at me and started yelling.

"Why are you the one that has to be Tyler's mother?!"

I was surprised at her outburst and stared at her, blank faced.

"Well, Alice, I don't know..Ryan just made the idea up. I didn't think you'd be angry about it."

"Well Korii. I am!"

I sat and watched my sister walk out the front door. I then heard glass breaking and Alice yelling. I ran out the front door and saw her breaking in my side windows of my car.

"ALICE! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

Ryan must have heard the commotion and ran outside and grabbed Alice around the waste and pulled her away.

"I hate you.! All you did before this epidemic happened was be a pain in my ass. You were the reason my parents didn't love me! You were the reason I was made fun of. You were the reason why I ran away for 2 years.! You were a reason I came back home and stayed and I wished I wouldn't have cause all your good for is being a selfish prissy little bitch who doesn't even know how to take care of herself without my help! Tyler is 4 and knows how to do more things than you.! I hate you and never ever want you near me again! GROW UP ALICE AND STOP BEING SUCH A BIG BABY ALL THE TIME!" I screamed at my sister.

"I HATE YOU EVEN MORE KORII! I WISH I WASN'T EVEN YOUR SISTER!"

"GOOD!" was all I yelled back.

That night I found plexi glass to fix my windows. I stayed up fixed my windows and packed supplies for me. At about 2 am I found a pen and paper and wrote Ryan, Tyler and Alice a note.

'Dear Ryan and Tyler,

I am sorry, but I have to leave. I don't know how long I will be gone. I promise I will come back once I feel like everything will be okay. I'm sorry that I just don't feel needed here. I will be back. I'm taking the pistol, ammo, and crowbar. I love you Ryan and I love you Tyler. Be good for mommy. I will be back soon. I will close gate when I leave. I'm so sorry.'

Tyler soon came into the kitchen.

"Mommy? Where are you going?"

"Tyler. I have to leave. I'm sorry honey."

"Take me with you."

"It's to dangerous Tyler."

With that being said, I left.
