"I think it's coming towards us." Owen said as we all looked up at the sky. The chopper was coming towards us...just not the way we wanted it to.
"Yeah uh I don't think it's going to make a soft landing." I stated as everyone screamed running in different directions. I remember jumping off the roof but after that it all went black.
--When I woke up the school was completely destroyed. The helicopter was in pieces as for people, well I had no idea who was alive and who wasn't. It was hard to tell in this mess. There were dead people either squished or people half conscious and half not. I slowly got up as I gripped my leg falling to the ground. I looked down at my left leg to see it seemed broken not too sure if it was or not. Fuck. I got up ignoring my pain. I had to find Mr. Harrison, Emily, Alayna, Owen, Damian and Jack. They were the only people I had left.
"Alayna! Mr. Harrison! Owen! Emily! Damian! Jack!" I yelled as I was in pain and walking around.
"Brook-lyn." I heard as I turned around and in the bush was Owen. He was very bloody but he didn't seem that injured.
"Owen! Are you okay?" I asked as I ran over to him. He nodded getting up out of the bush.
"I kinda hurt." He said as he cracked his back. "Your leg looks broken." He said pointing at my leg. I nodded my head as he wrapped his arm around me.
"Yes yes I know it does. We need to find everyone else before the zombies do." I said as he helped me walk around the school yard. We found Alayna, Damian and Jack near the front of the school. Emily and Mr. Harrison took us a while to find. Actually we were looking for about an hour and still couldn't find them. Yes I was worried about Emily but I was also worried about Mr. Harrison. The story behind Mr. Harrison and I is well you already know he dated my much older sister (not Emily) but after they broke up my family decided if anything were to happen to them even Emily, I would live with Mr. Harrison. He was sort of like my second father honestly. He has always been family and he always will be. Now I needed to find him and Emily one way or another.
"I think I found them." Alayna said as she squinted in the smoke.
"Nope that's a zombie." I stated as I began to limp faster away from the zombies. My leg began to feel better as I ran. I heard the zombies screech as I turned around. "Emily!" I said as I hugged her. She smiled out of breath. Now I needed to find Mr. Harrison. The smoke began to clear so I could see everything better. We went our separate ways.
"He's not over here!" Alayna said as she came walking back over to us.
"He's not over here either!" Owen yelled as him and Damian came walking over to us. I sat down on a log with my head in my hands. Emily sat beside me.
"Hey you still have me." She said trying to make me smile.
"But I don't need just you guys. I need Mr. Harrison." I said as I put my head in my hands ignoring the world.
"Why the long faces?" I heard a very familiar voice. I jumped up staring at the face of Mr. Harrison.
"Mr. Harrison!" I said as I jumped up running into his arms. He picked me up a little confused on why I was hugging him so tight but he also didn't mind.

We decided that since we could hide in the school anymore we need to find somewhere to go that we could hide out until we figured out our next plan.
"How about we go to my house?" Jack suggested as I nodded my head. I kind of knew where Jack lived and honestly Jacks place was the best option.
"Now how do we get there?" Damian asked as we looked around.
"A car!" Alayna said as we ran towards the closest car.
"It's locked." Owen stated as Emily and I exchanged looks. We nodded our wads as we elbowed the window of the car smashing it. Everyone stared in amazement as Emily and I climbed into the front seat, Mr. Harrison climbed into the drivers seat while everyone else climbed into the back. He hot wired the vehicle starting to drive. The speed limit was 60 and that was what he was doing.
"Are you serious right now Mr. Harrison?" Alayna said in complete annoyance. I laughed a bit.
"Are you really going the speed limit?" Emily asked as she moved from under neath me a bit.
"Yes I would rather not die in a car accident." He said as he continued going 60.
"That's it." I said as I moved to sit on Mr. Harrison's lap driving the car beginning to drive.
"Hey what are you-" he began as I took the wheel stepping on the gas. It was 60 and I was going like 100. Jack gave me directions on where to go. When we arrived at his house there was a zombie in his driveway. Emily grabbed a gun.
"I got this." She said as she got out of the car shooting the zombie. I looked at Mr. Harrison over my shoulder in surprise. We continued driving straight up to the front door.
"Jack, you have a nice house." Owen said as we got out of the car slowly.
"Thanks this is my dad's house." Jack said smiling as he grabbed a gun walking into the house. There weren't any zombies. "You think this house is awesome now, wait until you see my shed." He said before leading us outside. "Oh and bring the duffle bag." He said as Emily gripped the duffle bag in her hands. We walked out to his shed where he opened up revealing a black SUV and a shit load of guns.
"We will never run out of guns." Alayna stated as we all looked in amazement.
"Well I have to say Brook you should have met this kid a long time ago. I love you man." Emily said as she hugged Jack before grabbing a bunch of guns. I looked at Jack as I smiled at him. I seen some sort of sparkle in his eye as i felt my cheeks burn a bit. I turned around breaking eye contact. What the hell is going on with me? I thought as I just ignored the feelings I had. We packed up the duffle bag as full as we could leaving no guns left. My leg was feeling a lot better, it wasn't broken I just landed on it the wrong way. We went back into the house boarding up everything.
"Okay so I guess we should eat." Mr. Harrison said as everyone gathered in the kitchen.
"You have a lot of food." Alayna said as she opened the cupboards.
"That's not even the last of it. My dad and his girlfriend always stock up on shit." He said as he just blew it off like it was nothing we stared in complete shock at how beautiful his food cupboard looked. I seen these zebra cakes but right as I did Mr. Harrison and I grabbed them at the same time.
"There is only one of these left Brooklyn." He said as I bit his hand before running off with it. He came chasing after me. He pinned me to the ground. "Your not going to be winning this baby girl." He whispered as he leaned down to kiss my forehead, he then moved down a bit for us to be nose to nose. Weird at is was he wasn't that much older than me that us being this close wasn't odd. I was a little in shock at what he was going to do that I didn't notice him smirk gripping the zebra cakes out of my hand running away from me. I gained control of my body again jumping up after him. When I caught him he ran outside in the back through the field.
"Mr. Harrison! Give me the zebra squares!" I said as I ran after him.
"No! Your a bad girl! Not allowed these fatty foods." He said opening the cakes eating one. He hummed as he ate it. I stared with my jaw dropped.
"That's it! Your dead!" I said running towards him as I gripped his arm jumping on his back. He fell on the ground as I straddled his waist. "Ha! So now who's on the ground?" I said smirking as I gripped the zebra cake shoving some in my mouth. He smirked before flipping us over so I was on the ground.
"Seems like you are still on the ground." He smirked reach for the rest of it. I heard movement coming from the woods where Jack lived. I turned to face the noise.
"Mr. Harrison?" I said as I pushed him off grabbing his hand. "Let's uh go back to the house." I said as he turned around looking at what I was looking at. He nodded his head quickly.
"Yeah let's go." He said as we ran back to the house quickly locking the door.
"You two seem to be having fun." Alayna said smirking at me. I turned to look at her. I shook my head as Mr. Harrison grabbed another duffle bag filling it up with food and water.
"What are you doing Robert?" Emily asked looking at him as he was in a hurry.
"There are zombies coming." He said as he looked up once at Emily and then back at the food.
"Oh well we have dealt with zombies before let's just go kill them." Owen said as he grabbed a gun walking through the kitchen. Mr. Harrison stopped him.
"No. I mean there are more. A lot more." Mr. Harrison said with exaggeration. He meant every word though. Owen stared at everyone.
"How many more are there?" Alayna said as she looked at us getting off her chair.
"We will show you." Mr. Harrison said as we all walked to the back. We opened the door to reveal a shit load of zombies slowly walking through Jack's field. Everyone stared with wide eyes and jaws dropped. I gripped Mr. Harrison's arm as I got scared.
"Let's uh get packing." Emily said as everyone rushed back into the kitchen packing up everything they possibly could. This was going to be..uh fun?
