Missing Heart

Chapter 18: Julie

Oh jeez, how embarrassing! Did he really have to say that? Or at least say it slightly more politely! He can be so annoying sometimes, he can't help it but please just be polite for once! Even I'm not as bad as this.

"DA FUCK YOU SAYIN' TO ME!? YA THINK YA BETTAH THAN ME 'CAUSE YA BRAINS ALL ROTTEN AND EGGS!?" Shelly screamed in a totally new accent. I was not expecting that at all! She seems like the kind of person to shrug that shit off and laugh, but apparently not! Great, now there's going to be a big fight, and then there's going to be tons of tension for the next few days! He definitely hasn't made a good first impression. What if they think something bad of me because of it!? What if they think "ugh, if she's chosen him she must be like him or just really stupid!". Ugh! It's so loud... it's always so loud. I just wish everyone would be quiet. I just wish the world would go silent... just for a little while so I could hear myself think.

And what the hell was that accent? Is she really from here? Or did she have parents from two different countries or something? Or perhaps she's just trying to be intimidating?

Thankfully, after seeing my heartbroken expression, Martin shut up and didn't say anything. I don't think it was just me though, I think Shelly's accent worked. She stood up straight, all prideful. I don't know why, but I felt a great temptation to punch her in the face, even though this situation was Martin's fault. Was this bias? Now I feel bad...

"I'm so sorry about him! He's not usually like this! I swear! He's just in a bad mood! You'll have to forgive him!".

"Ah-ha-ha! Bow down! Bask in the great glory of my presence! For I am the chosen one! The one that can trick any to do her bidding! Maybe, just maybe, if you have a little luck, I may choose to forgive you!" Shelly said in the most douchey, royal voice ever. "Ha! Just kidding! 'Course I'll forgive ya, the anger and accent were fake anyway! I just wanted a little drama!". She finished with a peace sign.

She's so fucking dramatic... At least Martin was forgiven?

"Sorry about her, she can be a devil sometimes and an angel at others. She both loves drama and is super energetic, a dangerous mix!" Shaun explained.

We spent the next hour or so introducing ourselves a little better. It was fun, and relaxing. Martin calmed down and actually had a proper meal thank god! I felt so bad seeing him so skinny! We all talked, and thankfully were left uninterrupted by zombies!

Huh, this feels so stupid and unrealistic, calling them zombies, just so unusual, almost like a fiction book. It didn't feel like the correct word. Thinking like that... I feel like I saw a movie that made fun of something similar once... haha.
