Next morning not even the sun had time to rise before we were all up on our feet, checking and making sure we have all of our supplies.

"Well, this should be it, 5 water bottles, 5 canned beans, neons bat and 4 good knifes for the rest of us"

I say out loud, each nodding as they listened, probably trying to think of something else we could bring, but in my opinion we were set, as long as we have clean water we can live a while outside our current hideout,  I wasn't too excited about eating beans...never liked them.

"We should wait till the sun is out a bit more, it's really foggy outside, don't want to repeat what happened yesterday, might not get as lucky with finding a new car"

Neon mentioned and i couldn't agree more, having to walk for 3 hours there and back dragging guns and other desired resources would be hell, especially with our bunch, oliwia might seem really calm and easygoing but once she gets angry all hell breaks loose, we wouldn't want an argument starting, we all need to be on good terms if we're going to survive.

"Fair enough, I say we make a list of what we should take, extra stuff like nails and hammers, you know just in case we run out"

Vaida said, oliwia clapping her hands which brought all the attention on her.

"Right, yes, that's a good idea"

And for the next 30 minutes we all brain stormed, there was quite a few things we needed, our list contained.
_________________________________________

1. More food and water if we come across any

2. Obviously get the guns

3. Find a bigger ride (preferably a truck)

4. Bed for milana/anything better she can sleep on

5. Get more gardening supplies

_________________________________________

With that I shoved the list in to my pocket before we all used all our strength to move the couch from in front of the door.

After a minute or grunting and struggling we finally moved it far enough to be able to squeeze through the door, we really need to think of a better system that doesn't include moving the couch every time we want to get out.

This times its miles driving, I sat in the back with oliwia and milana While Neon sat in front with Miles, two heads are always better than one as they say. Our only worry now was getting to our destination safely and in a timely manner. It's still some what crazy how all of this happened so quickly, just last week we were all attending school, waking up at 7am, sitting in a chair for 6 hours, getting back home at 4pm, eating our dinner, doing our homework, sleeping and repeating the same the next day, and now? We're fighting for our lives on a daily basis, the fact that we're all still alive is a miracle, I can still remember when we would all jokingly talk about situations like this, how we would kill our selves if a zombie apocalypse happened, well look at us now, living our 'best' life driving across the country for a bunch of guns.

Resting my head on the cars window, I look out, watching zombies aimlessly standing and walking around as we drive by, you couldn't help but feel bad for them. The car was awkwardly silent, it was clear that our happiness decreased over the short week, I mean, who would be happy in a situation like this? Our parents, siblings, family in general could be dead right now for all we know, no internet to check out what's going on around the world right now, limited electricity and warm water, this all sucked ass, but I'm grateful I can live at a time like this with my friends.

"You think your grandfather's place will be relatively empty?"

Neon asks as she shifts in her seat, now facing us three that were sitting in the back.

"I mean if we're lucky he'll be there...alive and well, it would be nice having a grownup around us"

Milana said as Oliwia hummed in agreement.

"Yeah, I almost miss getting grounded and having fifty different chores around the house"

She said, slightly smiling at the three of us while you could hear miles let out a snort

"Well I don't"

They said, keeping their eyes on the road, and with that the car went silent again, but maybe that was a good thing, I wanted to enjoy the peaceful ride while I still can, who knows what the future has in it for us all...hopefully it's nothing bad....

30 minutes had passed and so far the ride is going well, occasional small talk and jokes here and there, this felt nice... a bit too nice... at times like this you start to get a feeling at the pit of your stomach, a voice in the back on your head telling you that something bad will happen, is my stomach foreshadowing something bad? Or am I just paranoid?

"Have you guys noticed that this situation is a bit, awkward? Like it doesn't make sense at all"

I say, oliwia looking over at me

"What do you mean? Awkward in what way?"

She asks, I take a short while to think about it.

"Well you know, how there was no warning? I know I shouldn't really compare real life to movies but in movies they usually have this big warning, you know sirens going off everywhere, military escorting people to bunkers before the actual zombie outbreak reaches whatever town or city, but this? It just happened out of nowhere"

I say, Milana sitting up, turning towards me and oliwia

"Yes! I thought about that too back when we were looking for that car yesterday, like there is no way the government didn't know about all of this taking place"

She says, neon turning towards us once more just like she did before.

"Now that you mention it.. it does sound a bit off, we do have an alert system on our phones, so why didn't it go off? Especially at a time like this"

We all went silent, thinking and looking for answers, but nothing that came to mind made sense, there was no reason for our government or higher ups in general to keep this hidden from the public, especially since it was going to affect us the most.

Now no one was paying full attention to the road ahead, not even miles that was still driving, our brains trying to comprehend the situation and before we knew it neon shouted.

"Miles look o-"

But she didn't even manage to finish her sentence before everything went dark.
