The Walking Dead || 5SOS

Chapter 9

Michael

Ashton explained to us why there was a baby and why we need to keep her. Her name was Bella. The group and I agreed to keep Bella.

The sun began to set and we all looked at each other, "We need to find shelter now," I ordered. Everyone nodded and we walked ahead hoping to find some sort of shelter.

"Do you think we should set up camp?" Jemma asked.

"No, I think I found something" Arden muttered.

Arden's pace sped up and we jogged behind her trail. I can hear a groan coming from behind the group. I knew exactly where the groan came from and I didn't like it.

I turned around, clutching my pocket knife. There was only one single walker following us fourtantly enough.

I stabbed it in the eye and let it sink to the ground. "You okay Mikey?" Calum called out. "Yeah! Just some asshole of a walker creeping behind us" I called back and ran back to the group.

A large blue house was set in front of us. It looked like a farm. There was a barn and fields. It was everything we really needed to keep us alive.

We all walked to the front door not saying a single word to each other. Ali stopped in front of us, "Wait, Some of us should stay here with Bella and the rest should go in and make sure it's safe." She suggested.

"I'll stay with her" Ellie quietly agreed and gave a soft smile.

"I'll stay here too!" Luke quickly followed

I turned to the blonde boy and smirked at him while giving him "The look" He rolled his eyes at me and flipped me off when everyone wasn't facing him.

I stuck my tongue out at him and walked towards the white wooden door.

I crouched carefully pulling out my knife and gun. I gave everyone the signal to be prepared. I kicked open the door and checked the surroundings. I gave the okay and everyone began to search the house.

"AGH!" I can hear a screech coming from upstairs. Bullets began to fire through the house. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs.

I kicked open the bedroom door and saw Jemma fighting at least 6 walkers.

She was on the ground and a walker was about ready to bit into her flesh. I jammed my foot into its head and picked up Jemma. The others scrambled in and began to take out the living dead.

Jemma seemed frightend. We all took out the walkers and tried grasping for air, "Keep checking the house" I managed to escape through my heacy breathing.

Jemma started to walk out but I grabbed her wrist and hugged her, "I'm glad you're okay" I muttered. We've known each other for about a day but we got along instantly and have grown close pretty quickly despite this chaos.

"I was so scared" She was shaking so much. It felt like I could break her body if I held her too tight. "You're okay. I'm here to protect you" I kept whispering sweet nothings into her ear while she sobbed.

She pulled back and looked up at me. Our faces only a couple of centimeters away from each other.

She was biting her lip and I had to keep telling myself to resist from kissing her.

She quickly pushed away from me.

"I promised myself that I wouldn't get close to anybody and I'm sure as hell not going to fall in love with you."
