A living Hell

Chapter Two*

Claire's P.O.V

 Turns out we had to shoot a few walkers. Not much, but still enough to keep you on high alert. Well hell you have to be on high alert twenty four seven, seven days a week. "You think I'm pretty without any makeup on..." Luke sang, horribly might I add, I couldn't help but laugh at this. "What..." he mumbled getting out of the truck and meeting me at the hood of the rusty old truck.

 "Teenage Dream?" I asked him remembering Katy Perry's song. "Of course!" he said walking towards the convenience store, pausing to peek into the windows to look for any signs of walkers. I squinted my eyes to see faded away words "Shamrock" in green, with four leaf clovers surrounding it.

 I looked around the deserted town, sighing. I hope everything goes back to how it used to be. Although I doubt it, but hey you can wish can't you? I mean it's not like having a little faith ever hurt anyone. "Oh girl this bout is sinking there's no sea left for me.." Luke sang a line from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. I can't really remember the name to it.

 Everything is sort of fading away. I'm sort of getting used to not having electricity, and chocolate milk every morning. Sounds kiddish I know but I always did that. I would drink coffee before I went to bed. "I miss hearing car horns.. and getting stopped by those annoying red lights." Luke said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

 "Me too Lukey, Me too." I said smirking, he hated to be called Lukey. "Ready Claire bear?" Luke asked me referring to going inside the small store. "Ready as I will ever be." I mumbled, as we walked in I saw two walkers by the cash register. I reacted quick enough shooting the man in the head as Luke shot the woman beside the man I shot in the head. "I will look in the back. Go to the bathrooms." Luke said walking into the back with his gun raised, ready to shoot any walkers nearby.

 I walked into the bathroom labeled Woman's. I quickly kicked open every stall door holding my gun straight in front of me ready to shoot any walkers. To my relief there wasn't any in here, so I quickly went into the bathroom labeled Men's. I didn't see any walkers in there either, weird. I shut the door seeing Luke putting stuff in a backpack. "Clear?"I asked him, he just nodded and continued putting cans,and bags of chips into the backpack.

 I watched him as he checked the date on some jerky, he saw it was still good and shoved it into the backpack. I slipped my bag off my back and shoved some pads that were sitting on a nearby shelf. I went over to the medicine and grabbed a few items. Putting some band aids, gauze's, and what not into my backpack.

 "I'm going to get some gas is that okay?" Luke asked knowing I was probably ready to go. "Yea I'm gonna get a few more things that okay?" I asked him as he walked closer. "Yea." he said quickly kissing me on the forehead, he didn't waste time on getting out of here. He kissed me! Well not on the lips! But he kissed me! Lukey kissed me!, I cheered in my head mentally doing a happy dance.

 I walked over seeing a few notebooks and a pack of pins. I grinned shoving them in my backpack, yea every now and then I would write down things. I knew Mike would appreciate it, because he keeps a journal, and keeps up with today's date.

  I tried to think of anything else we may need, but I came up blank. Luke already grabbed the things of water and some other stuff. Satisfied, I walked behind the counter to see if the clerk kept a gun, I was pretty sure they did. But someone could have already took it. I grinned as I saw the black handgun, checking to see if it had bullets. My grin got even wider when I saw it did.

 "Ready?" Luke asked from the door. "Yea..Wait!" I said seeing a few shirts on a small table. They were white shirts them self with 'Shamrock' on the front, in green of course and with four leaf clovers. I shoved the shirts and grabbed a few pairs of gloves, into my full backpack. I followed Luke out of the store and we ran to the truck, him getting into the drivers seat and me getting into the passenger seat. "You fill up the truck?" I asked Luke as we pulled onto the road, heading back to our little camp.

 "Yea and I filled up a few gas cans." Luke grinned, gaining speed I saw the houses fly past us as we started going by trees. I knew it wouldn't take us to long to get back. "So what did you get?" I asked Luke. "Look in my bag." he said, so I did. I unzipped the bag to see a bunch of goodies. I started laughing when I saw he got a few packs of condoms and some candles.

 "What?" Luke asked me raising his eyebrow, eyes still on the road. "You got condoms?" I asked smirking. "Shit!" he said grabbing them and putting them in his pocket. "Oh so they are for you?" I asked him, I saw him blush.

 "Forget it." he snapped. "Rawr, Don't eat me." I snapped back at him crossing my arms and leaning my head back, I decided to take a short nap.

***

 "Wake up."I heard Luke's voice say far away. I groaned when he started shaking me. "I'm up!" I groaned letting my eyes flutter open. "Nice nap?" he asked me smirking. "Yea." I yawned stepping out of the truck into the warm sunshine. "Sissy!" my head snapped to Ariel as soon as I heard her voice and saw her running at me.

 I gave her a big hug "I missed you!" she said cheerfully. "I missed you too!" I said getting my full backpack out of the truck. "Was you good for Lenna and Mike?" I asked her and she just smiled and nodded at me."Welcome back sweetie!" Lenna said giving me a big hug, I saw my sister run over to Gage.

 "Thanks Lenna!" I said smiling at her. "Everything go okay?" she asked in a motherly tone. "Yes Lenna." I said chuckling. "The boys aren't back yet?" Lenna asked. "Lenna it's okay, they did go to get more weapons after all. Who knows how many shops they went to!" I said trying to reassure her.

 "True." she said tapping her chin. "I'm going to put the backpacks in the kitchen you can go through them later, I am going to take a nap." I smirked running into the house, I saw Luke putting his stuff down too. "I need another nap." I whispered in his ear making him jump. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" he chuckled. "Oh okay." I said pouting.

 "I'm going to take a nap!" I declared running up the stairs into my room, once I was in my room I shut the door behind me and stripped out of my clothes. I feel so dirty, I really need a good hot shower right about now. I walked over to the small bag of clothes me and my sister had only wearing my bra and panties.

 "Oops." I heard a voice say, I looked over to see it was Luke. Be calm, "Hey." I said picking up a pair of shorts and a tank top with another button up. I slipped into the shorts and pulled the tank top over my head, I left my button up on top of the bag. I didn't want to wear it while I slept.

 I layed down on the bed and looked to see Luke still at the door staring at me. "Luke?" I asked smiling at him. "Oh huh, what?" he asked shaking his head. "Well what's wrong?"I asked him raising my eyebrows waiting for him to respond. "Uh well, oh nothing.. Just sleep well." he muttered turning around to walk out.

 "Wait Luke?" I asked him before he walked out. "Yea Claire?" he asked turning around to look at me. "Are you taking a nap?" I asked him. "Thought about it." he said. "Sleep in here. I don't want to sleep alone." I chuckled. "Uh okay.." he said shutting the door and walking to the other side of the bed to sit down, while he slipped his shoes off.

 As soon as his shoes were off he layed back and I snuggled into his side. I could tell it shocked him, but he wrapped his arms around me. "Sleep well Claire Bear." he whispered. "You too Lukey." I said drifting off to sleep.
