TW - mention of sexual assault, violence

"Shane please stop" she said reaching for shotgun.
"I've been through enough these past few days, I dont need you man handling me right now" she continued
Shane look annoyed as he took another swing of alcohol, loudly gulping each drop until the bottle was empty. he smashed the bottle off the table raising the neck at her in defence. He stumbled as his vision blured.

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

I must have fell asleep, I don't know how I managed. I rubbed my eyes as I rose, to see Shane looking at me through the drivers mirror looking. He smiled at me shaking his head.

"You should get up now, you've been out for an hour" he said still smiling.

"S-sorry" I replied. 

He swung his body around the seat to stare at me directly, making direct eye contact.

"Yknow I never your name" he spoke, in a monitone voice.

"James, its james" I replied eagerly.

"Well James, your buddy who nearly chopped my head off has gone off into the the trees to take a piss. Along with Lori and Carl." He pointed to the trees that ran along the side of the road.

Suddenly the sound of car horns began to roar in the background, sounding angry and impatient. I noticed that we were In a traffic jam clearly with no sign of moving. I looked around to see people sitting on car hoods and standing on the roofs.

Shane looked down and chuckled to himself
"Its alot to take in isnt it" looking me up and down.

"Excuse me?" I said in defence, raising an eyebrow.

"Yaknow the end of the world and all" he quickly responded, guilty he implied anything else.

"You think its the end?" I said to him concerned. Terrified if he was right

"well yeah, have you seen whats happening" he spoke calmly, trying not to raise his voice, to avoid upsetting me.

"yeah but the military are gonna do something arent they?" I replied with hope

"why do you think we're in this traffic jam, they told us to evacute over the radio while you were out" I've know this man for less than 24 hours and he's already annoying me by stating the obvious.

"shit, this is serious. What are we going to do. I mean I've just finished colle- I dont even know who the women im with is. I dont know who you are or those people your with are" I shouted growing worried.

"I know how you feel. We're all just going to have to get through this together. If your not gonna have a problem then I'm not gonna have a problem. Do you have problem" he raised an eye brows as he stared directly into my eyes.

"N-no"

"good"

Our convocation was interrupted with the mysterious women slamming the car door, quickly sitting down and taking a deep breath.

"ah good your awake. I assume Shane has been more than "delightful" company while I was gone" air quoting the word delightful. Shane was about to interrupt before she began speaking again
