Liam was right the hot water didn't work, I wash up as quick as was humanly possible and got out of the shower shivering, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me. I looked around for my clothes and realize I never grabbed them. "Great." I sigh leaning against the wall. I open the door and notice the room with the beds is open, but Michael is sitting on the bed closest to the door. "Niall." I whisper seeing if he was around. I look in the other direction and call his name again.

"What do you need?" I turned my head quickly to see Michael standing up from the bed and walking over to me.

"Don't." I stop shutting the door. "Come any closer please." I rest my forehead against the door. "I left the clothes Liam set out for me in the other room."

I hear a laugh, "Okay, I will bring you something." I hear his feet retreat and another door open. I sit on the edge of the tub waiting for my clothes, after a moment passes there is a knock on the door. "There was only this shirt, but I'm pretty sure it will fit." He says through the door.

I stand up and open the door, only wide enough to grab the clothes and shut it again, "Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah." He says his voice getting distant.

I look at the clothes- more like garment-he grabbed me I notice it is an oversized shirt that has way to many holes in it, any other situation and I would have texted Tess asking if this was Ash's. Any other situation Tess would be here with me. I think to myself and slip the shirt, I think twice about staying in the bathroom for the rest of the night. Although, the shirt hung down to my mid-thigh, I was surrounded by guys and only one of them I've known my whole life. As I walk out of the bathroom, Niall and Zayn are standing outside the door. "Audge." Niall says quickly and turns his head his cheeks getting redder. "Uhm, sorry, we were, uh waiting for you to get out." Niall stutters out.

"We were?" Zayn asks and Niall hits his arm. "Ow, I mean yeah. Now that you are out, Niall here can go use the bathroom." He says laughing slightly and looking down smirking.

I feel my cheeks redden and I walk quickly to the bedroom, where Liam is already passed out on the mattress farthest away from the door and Mikey is in the middle of both of them. He smirks at me, "Here you have half the mattress." He says picking the blanket up.

"There weren't any shorts?" I ask pulling the shirt down more.

"You wanted shorts?" He asked laughing and patting the bed for me to get in. "C'mon I'll close my eyes." He says putting his hand over his eyes.

"Yeah whatever," I said jumping into bed as fast as I could. I try and grab the covers from him and he holds them tighter. "Michael, let go." I said pulling the blanket harder.

Eventually after a tug of war he lets go and I fall slightly. "Now, be quiet I need sleep." Liam says half groaning and rolled back over.

I glare at Michael and he smiles scrunching up his nose. Why. I roll my eyes at him playing it off and lay down shutting my eyes.

"Liam, wake up." I hear a harsh whisper say. "Mate." The voice says again.

"Trying to sleep, Zayn." Liam says groggily. There was a slight shift in the bed, "Ow!" Liam says and the bed shifts again. "I was sleeping." Liam says standing up.

"There are more important things." Zayn says walking towards the door. "Liam, wake these other two up too." He said he voice getting a little deeper and quieter.

I open my eyes, expecting a blinding light to come through but instead it is the dim light of dawn, "what's going on?" I ask Liam sitting up.

"I don't know. Can you wake Michael up?" He asked walking out the door pulling his shirt on.

I turn around and face Michael. "Uh, Mikey." I said poking his shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm up." He says in a deep scratchy voice.

"What do you think is going on?" I ask standing up and stretching.

"I don't know, but you should probably put pants on." He said putting his elbow over his eyes, suddenly aware I am still in just a shirt I quickly pull the short back down. I turn around and walk back to the bathroom where my clothes were. Slipping on my pants and my Rolling Stones shirt, I take the holy shirt with in case someone else needs it. I step out of the bathroom and run into Michael who was standing in the doorway shirtless. "Uhh." I say pushing myself away from him and looking at him up and down.

"Just trying to use the bathroom." He says getting as close as me as humanly possible. "Excuse me." He says smirking.

"Uhh, yeah." I say clearing my throat and pushing passed him and almost running down the stairs.

"Shh! Get down." Zayn says looking out the window.

"What's going on?" I whisper crouching and getting next to them.

"There is a small car that has driven past the house near three times going slower when they pass." Liam answers looking back at me.

"Maybe they want to stay here?" I suggested sitting back.

"Audge, this is the apocalypse." Zayn said without turning around.

"Yeah, and we should be fighting those things not people." I defended.

"They are trying to survive like us, who's to say they won't take our supplies and kill us." Niall said facing me.

"Who's to say they will?" Michael said coming up behind me.

"Shut up!" Zayn whispers harshly, "Does anyone know how to be quiet?"

"They can't hear us." I said looking at Mikey.

"They may need help." Michael said getting close behind me.

"You two are impossible to deal with." Zayn sighed.

"We need to get out there." I said.

"What if they try and kill us?" Liam asked.

"It's worth a shot." Niall said finally agreeing.

"Yeah, what if they want to join us." Liam said after thinking momentarily.

"I don't know." Zayn says skeptically.

"Mate, just stay in here with Audrey." Liam said standing up.

"What if something happens?" Zayn asks

"And if something goes down come out and save the day." Liam says laughing and going towards the door. "C'mon." He says addressing Michael and Niall.
