Bloody Hell

Chapter 11: Beautiful People

"I personally think you two should talk" Kim kept a hand on Lil's shoulder.

"I think so too Lil" Tabitha agreed with Kim.

"Pass me the noodles!" Fred cried.

"Nope, I like it and I don't share what I like" Linda took the cup noodles away.

Steve and Harold chuckled.

Light of the little camp fire was glowing on the faces of these beautiful people, the cool wind escaping through the peaceful darkness... everything was so calm. For once it sparked the the vision of the perfect future they were seeking.

"I really wish things could stay this way forever" Tabitha's eyes shined in hope.

"So ladies and gentlemen, which song would you like to listen" Aron took out his guitar.
He started strumming.

"No, not that one, it's...you know" Lil immediately stopped him.

"Okay...how about.." Aron picked up different chords. "L.A on a Saturday night in the summer, sundown and they all come out..."

"That's... !!!!!!" Kim jumped.

"Beautiful people" Lil smiled.

"-use some help getting out of this conversation.." Aron nodded and then turned to Tabitha "you look stunning dear, so don't ask that question here, this is my only fear that we become.."

Linda started the claps as everybody sang the chorus together.
"Beautiful people! Drop top designer clothes, front row and fashion shows, what you'd do and who'd you know, inside the world of BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!.."

And there came the laughter, full of joy, pure happiness..away from all the worries.

"Guys! Keep it low, we're still in the middle of an apocalypse" Steve hushed.

Lil got up and threw the Plunic leaves into the camp fire.

"They're of no use in the third stage..we need tons of them to keep so many zombies away. Atleast the burning leaves will keep away the few zoms here tonight"
Lil sounded convincing, so no one argued after that.

She then went and sat next to Steve. Harold, who was sitting next to him got up to give them some privacy and sat down next to Kim.

Lil inhaled "Hey..I'm sorry, I had my reasons. I didn't wanted it to be considered as a mista-"

"Woah.." everybody exhaled.

Lil was cut off by his lips crashing onto hers. Her fingers landed on his cheeks, his hands on her waist and their lips in perfect sync with eachother.
Lil lost her control. They needed this.

Steve felt a deep old cut on her waist, like it wasn't sewed when happened...it felt wierd, but then he decided to ignore it, obviously this is an apocalypse, wounds are like a necessary certificate here.

It lasted for exactly seven seconds when Lil broke the kiss. She smiled and turned away.

"You know there's a reason why I never forced Lil to go talk to him. She has her reason, revealed or not, we should respect them" Aron was talking to Tabitha.

"If you're such a softie, then why do you behave like a jerk?" She laughed, for the first time maybe."And why don't you just leave me alone, aren't you the most popular kid?"

"I used to be. You know you need other humans to make you popular, now that only a few are left, I'd prefer spending the rest of my life with the right ones" Aron did a casual strum on his guitar "don't push me away Tab"

"I..."

"I have been through a lot. Maybe you've been alone all your life too and now you're just too afraid to accept this change, me..You deserve someone to take care of you, let me please!"

"Fine.. one chance" Tabitha wiped her tears away.
She was a little girl when she lost her parents. The only thing that helped her escape her brutal aunt was her scholarship. Yeah...she has been alone.
But now she isn't!
I'm trusting you Aron,Tabitha deserves the whole world.

"And about ...Sarah.."

"I don't wanna talk about my past" Aron politely avoided the topic.

"Chips?" Kim offered to Harold "don't look at me like that! God! I don't know how to start a conversation..I've never met someone like you"

Harold nodded, saying he completely understands her. He picked up one of the chips and offered it to Kim.

"Ok...I'll go first" Kim was so happy eating directly from his hands.
Suddenly he turned his hands and ate the chips on his own. Then he laughed.

"Funny old tricks" Kim made an annoying face and burst into laughter herself.

"Hey little bro, nice concert today! When did you become such a Shawn Mendes?" Linda elbowed Aron.

"The song is by Ed Sheeran not Shawn Mendes" Tabitha rolled her eyes.

"I know, I know, I was just kidding" Linda clearly wasn't kidding.

So if any of you thinking about Fred right now.....no, he's not abandoned completely,he's fast asleep. He went to sleep right after he finished singing the song with everyone.

Morning..

"So you're saying that there's something which has an opposite reaction to the Plunic leaves?" Fred's mouth dropped open.

"C'mon wasn't it obvious? Uncle John always made the cure or something which has opposite reaction to that, something that can cut the other"  Lil says as she drinks some water "it's called as Blunic.. because its blue in colour and attracts zoms"

"Giving me negative vibe" Fred scratched his temples.

"This sounds deadly..it can attract the zombies. That's the last thing I need in third and the fourth stage" Linda panicked.

"It can be very useful if used wisely" Lil smirked. "Let's get going shall we?"

Walking into the forest was easier than avoiding a clingy Steve. This was the last thing Lil wanted, to consider that kiss a mistake. It was actually.. nevermind, it's her story to tell, not mine.

"Do you like the strawberry candies? I don't know who picked these up" Steve approached Lil.

"Not now Steve..fine, yeah I picked it up, I love strawberries" Lil managed not to seem annoyed.

"Trouble in paradise continues" Aron whispered in her ears "Lil you need to forget about Cha-"

"Shhh...look!" Lil raised her hands in a stopping sign for everyone.

Zombies... covered in red, sniffing around, waiting for prey.

"There are five of them?" Linda whispered, counting Harold's fingers.

"No..there are five more" Lil sensed it "welcome to Rundaile.."
