LOVE SONG. fear the walking dead

act one

Movie night with my brother and his boyfriend wasn't something I had in my plans for tonight. Not any night actually, but as always he used his manipulative older brother superpowers to make me stay like freewill doesn't exist. I can't complain though, if you just ignore all the giggling and kissing right next to you and just focus on the movie and the chocolates it can actually be a decent way to spend a Friday night and most important it kept my mind occupied away from all the Nick thing that it was probably why Noah make me stay with them where he could keep an eye on me

Nick is my boyfriend or at least I guess you could say that, we've been in this weird intermittent relationship for like 4 years now, we met at highschool when my family moved to LA from New York and as anyone else that spent at least five seconds in his company I ended up charmed by his electrifying personality, we stared dating really quickly when I was 14 and he was 15 and we had around eight beautiful months of a teenage romance before he started consuming, then everything came downhill for us

Sometimes he was the best guy around but then he would change into this weird absent version of him. He didn't listened  to anything I say and even tend to forget long periods of time but then when we thought it couldn't get worst he started to just disappear, at first it was hours, then days, then weeks and now he had been gone for three months and all we can do is to wait for a call and hope that is to tell us they found him passed out in the street and not something worse. Sometimes he would come back on his own claiming that he was clean or than he wanted to be but it always happened again

Of course I can have a moment of peace in my life 'cause we haven't even get to watch half of the movie when my phone started ringing. The name of Nick's sister was on the screen and my heart skipped a beat and my hands started to shake knowing this only could be really bad news or really good ones

"Alicia?" The attention of the boys on my left automatically switch from the movie to me the very second they heard the name coming out of my lips like a bad omen

"Barbara where are you?" her voice sounded strangely desperate for being her the one that was talking "You need to go home now!"

"I am, I'm having movie night with Noah and Jack what is going on?" as you can see I have a talent to freak out pretty easily "What is it? Is it Nick?"

"No. Yes. Well..." if I had her here I would have slapped her and yelled at her, she was so unfocused and it was probably not her fault but my heart was beating really fast and if she doesn't find her words I'm afraid I could lose conscious or worst "I mean yeah we found him but it's not about him... Something bad it's happening and I don't know what it is and no one wants to tell me but you need to come before it's too late"

"Girl what the hell are you talking about" to say that I was confused was an understatement but her desperation and the faded discussion she was having with God knows who while he was talking to me were real "Just make your bags and get your ass here now!"

After that she hung up and it took me some time to process what in the holly mother of Channel was going on. Maybe I'm impulsive, maybe I'm an Aries but whatever it was just took me a couple of seconds to get to the conclusion that it doesn't matter the context behind Alicia panicking I should be doing it too because that girl doesn't get scared that easy so I snapped myself out of my moment of dissociation and started to give orders like if I was a freaking Captain to the boys to go get some clothes to go out a few days and I did the same grabbing the biggest purse I could find in my room filling it with clothes and two pairs of shoes and my album of photos with Nick and my everyday makeup because you never know

Ten minutes later we we're parking in Nick's driveway, Mrs Clark's truck was there with the doors open as well as the house, screams were coming from inside and we runned like crazy to see what it was happening and finally find out whatever it was so insane for Alicia to make us come here in the middle of the night and give an explanation to all the weird stuff that had been going on ever since her call

What we found was a complete mess. Their neighbor Peter was all covered in blood attacking Mr Manawa and Mrs Clark was pointing at him with a gun. In the room there was also a bunch of people that I had never seen in my whole life and one of them took the gun shooting Peter in the face making me scream terrified and Noah instinctively pushed me behind him protecting me from the crazy guy but what it came after was mind blowing and If it wasn't because I was there and I saw everything I would have not believed it. Than man had his face all destroyed and kept walking like if nothing happened but then another shot end up blowing his head and he fell on the floor. At this point I was covering my eyes desperately hiding behind my brother's body trying not to cry when I heard a voice I was starting to forget

“Barbie...” Nick was walking slowly towards me but I just couldn't wait any longer and I run in his direction throwing myself to wrap him in my arms so tight that I might have hurt him unintentionally, just a couple of seconds after I felt him hugging me back the same way “Hey gorgeous, do you have a boyfriend?” He whispered in my ear the same question he'd been asking for 4 years now. It started as a joke when we started dating 'cause he loved hearing me saying that he was my boyfriend but with time it became in some kind of confirmation of our situation every time he disappeared and came back

“Yeah”

My head was pounding and I had so many questions. I wanted to know what did just happened. I wanted to know where Alicia was. I wanted to know how they found him. I wanted to know so many things but even then, the most important thing to me was to let him know that I was still there. That I was still his
