"Take a left here," I said.
Perci turned the motorcycle towards the left, with Dustin following behind us.
"Hey, isn't this a residential area? There's bound to be lots of zombies roaming around these streets! What are we doing here? We should just leave!" Dustin said.
"If you're going to complain, then you should stop following us," I said.
"N-nevermind. They're here!"
Zombies came out from the houses and started to chase after us.
"Sorry, I'll have to lose them first."
Perci sped up the bike and left Dustin in the dust.
"H-hey! Wait up, please!"
"We can't afford to be slow!" Perci said.
Perci started to drift around and made turns towards random streets.
"AAAAAAAAH!"
This is crazy!
My heart raced and my arms hugged him like my life depended on it.
I-I'm obviously just doing it because I don't want to fly away!
"Screw this!"
Dustin jumped off his motorcycle and started running away instead.
"What is he doing?" I wondered.
"Help!"
Since Dustin was on the ground running, he was the main target of the zombies.
In response, he ended up leaving the road and started climbing one of the houses nearby.
He went over the rooftop and called out to us.
"Come back!"
"I'll go back for him later."
Perci ignored his cries and went further away, leaving him stuck on the roof.
"Did we end up too far away from your house?" Perci asked.
"No, it's actually close by. Just take a right through that corner. "
Perci calmed down his motor and slowly drove forward.
"Good thing there's no zombies present on this lane," I said.
"I think Dustin distracted all the ones on our tails earlier..." Perci said.
From this distance, I could see my house with the flowery bushes sticking out next to the front gate. My mother loved gardening. It was pretty much just similar to the rest of the houses, standing at two stories, but you could tell it was neatly trimmed and decorated with pink flowers.
"Stop, we're here."
I got out of the motorcycle and looked at Perci.
"Are you coming with me?"
"No, I need to pick up Dustin. A gentleman such as myself does not extend help only to girls, but to guys as well. I can't abandon him."
"You're really going to try and save him, huh? That's courageous."
Acting all brave and mighty like a hero, it's a good thing, but it doesn't automatically make the person a good-hearted noble. Trust me, I know a guy. Another of my exes.
"Stay frosty. Don't forget to use the umbrella as a defense," Perci said.
"Yeah. It's not like my mom is a zombie. The house is locked and she should be in bed right now," I said.
