Alone

What now...

JAMES POV

Haven walked over to their bed, I felt bad for them they had been alone for 2 weeks of the apocalypse and they were taking care of scout all by them-self, the least I could do for them is walk their cat and hand out food.

The leash was on the door handle and the keys in my pocket, I put the leash in scout and we walked out into the hallway I locked the door behind us and put the key in my pocket, and walked one door down to mark and will's room, I knocked on the door and will came to open it "haven gave me this for you guys to eat" I said handing two cans of baked beans to will "thank yo-
Awwwwwwww who's this dapper little man" he kelt down to pet scout "this is scout havens cat, their mom left them to take care of them-self and scout on day one" I scowled at the thought "we'll haven is really good and keeping you fed mister" mark joining will on the ground now "I have to go walk him, haven needs to sleep they are over stimulated" I said picking up scout and scratching his head with the tips of my fingers, he purred.

Mark looked up at me "is haven like autistic" he said actually just curios "yeah, they are" I said I looked at scout "how old is scout William asked "haven said he was only a year, will can you come on the walk with me for safety... bring a gun" I said monotone "yeah sure thing" he said pulling up his shirt to reveal a gun in a make shift holster "perfect, let's go" we walked out of the complex and walked around the block, will was focused on any little sound he heard.

About mid way through the walk scout did his business "we need to go get a litter box, wanna come to Walmart with me" I asked will "sounds good maybe a cat bed as-well" "perfect, ima drop scout back with mark and tell him to go sit with him in havens room" I said to will "sounds good, let's hop to it" will said speed walking back.

We got back to the apartment complex and saw mark out sharing a cigarette with haven who was leaning on his shoulder half asleep, jealous thoughts tingling in my head mark waved at us "what is haven doing up" I asked "they came to check I got the food" mark smiled "oh well we and gonna go pick something up and you guys take scout and head back to one of the rooms" I asked but it really wasn't a question I could tell neither of them had a weapon on them which was unsafe considering the situation "yeah, sure" haven grabbed scout their eyes half shut, they stood up and mark stabilized them.

Haven hugged me and I squeezed them tight I felt like I needed to protect them "see you losers soon... please be safe" she said walking in with mark and scout, will turned to me "what was that about" he asked smirking "can it shit face" I said with a shit eating grin on my face from haven hugging me "yeah yeah let's go Romeo" he said smacking my ass and running to our bikes, we hopped on our bikes and started peddling and turned a few corners fifteen minutes later we got there "and here we are Romeo the Wally-world" will said "the fucking what" I asked laughing "Wally-world" he said deadpan "ok dorkus" I laughed with him we dropped our bikes in a hidden spot and ran into the Walmart, him and I darted to the pet isle "oh look here's one and it says easy clean, and cat litter" will said shoving it into a bag "oh I found a comfortable looking cat bed" I said dropping it into the bag along with more than enough cat food and treats along with a small scratching toy "perfect, let's get outta here" I said, right on queue we heard a groan like scream "run" will said we booked it back to the bikes "no bites right" "yeah yeah, MOVE YOUR FUCKING ASS JAMES" he screamed pointing at the group of five zombies we biked like we were competing to win 10 grand and got back to the complex and saw that we had lost the zombies along the was "those fuckers were fast huh James" will said "what fuckers" haven said making us jump "n-nothing to worry about we lost em" I said panting "good,what'd ya get" they said "you'll see it's a surprise" I said slinging and arm around their shoulder "bold aren't we Jameson" I blushed at being called my full name.

We got back to the room and mark was on his phone taking pictures of scout muttering "aww look how cute" and "you are you are" in a high pitched tone "he is just the cutest, he such a handsome baby" haven said sitting in the bed and scout stumbling over to them and rolling into havens lap "anyways we got you something haven" I handed her the bag "thank you guys" she smiled looking into the bag "a cat bed, a litter box and litter, a scratching post and cat food!!!, you guys are the friggin best" they said standing up with some of the items to put around the room "it's perfect so now when we leave for longer times he doesn't have to hold it, thank god I box trained him" she said placing the last item in its new home "thank you guys" she said hugging me and will "aye no sweat" will said patting their back "hey mark what's the time" I asked, "9:57" he said "right let's go to sleep" I said "yeah, we don't have to do shit tomorrow so I'm sleeping in" haven said putting scout in the new cat bed.

And grabbing PJ's, I said goodnight to mark and will and did my night time routine and when I was done I saw haven laying in bed they looked over to me and got out of bed, they walked over to me and smiled "you look so tired, you ready for bed" they asked me I gave them a soft smile "yeah."
