A Love Worth Fighting For: The Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 10

"Depends," Nkenchi said, "What do you think I did?" "Kill him?" "And you'd be correct." Nkenchi said blankly. "Why?!" "Because he hurt you. In a way that's unforgivable and he deserved it." "why do you care about me, and when did you start caring?!?" "Like I said, you don't need to know the answer to that." "Yes I do!" "Why do you? Give me a reason, a valid reason and I'll tell you." "So I know what we did last night wasn't fake and some kind of reason for you to just use me as a sex toy!"

"...Remember when we got sent to the principal's office cuz some kid saw you bullying me in middle school?" "uha?" "Then. That's when I started caring. That's why I stopped fighting back." "why?..." "Izzy. She didn't know what you did to me and she thought you were so cool. It made me hurt when I knew that I absolutely hated the person she looked up to so much, so I stopped hating you. She still doesn't know." "Why act like you hate me then?" "Because you still hated me. Well, I thought you did. And you did for the most part." "Who said I hated you?" "What do you mean?" "sure i acted mean and tough but i never hated you." "What are you talking about? I thought you hated me because when I got popular I started acting like the dude who killed your girl or whatever.'' "that wasn't hate, that was me trying to change you, i act like the way i am so i don't get used or in the underground killed." "So you didn't hate me?" "no" "Oh... Well when did you start drawing that... interesting... Shit of the both of us?" "M-Middle school..." Nkenchi laughed "Middle school when?" "8th...and that wasn't the only one...there was more in a different one...." "Jesus, you fucking freak!" Nkenchi teased, laughing more.

Samuel stayed quiet, looking away. "Awwe, it's okay! If it makes you feel any better, I drew you a lot in middle school too. Not like that but, still spicy-ish." Nkenchi admitted, smiling. "I had 3 sketchbook with just um that of us...i am a fucking creep..." "Only three? That's weak as hell!" Nkenchi snickered. "The rest was normal!! But they were just you and nothing else..." Nkenchi took out his phone and called Andi "Mhm?" "Dad, how many sketchbooks did I have of just Sam from middle school?" Andi paused. "I don't fucking know, your closet had like- 2 bins full or something like that-" "Oh right, right... Thanks, that's all I needed!" Andi scoffed, laughing "Okay, bye Nkenchi." He hung up and looked at Samuel "Still think you're that creepy?" " I had 3 bins and a half, I threw some away..." Nkenchi gasped playfully "You threw away drawings of someone as handsome as moi?!??!" "technically my brother did cause he was tired of me obsessing over you." "I mean, I can understand the appeal. I was really hot." Nkenchi flipped his hair dramatically.

Samuel Chuckles, "whatever you say bud." "I was hot enough for you to have a crush on me so you can't talk." Samuel rolls his eyes. "You were hot too, don't perry. I was still way out of your league though." Nkenchi smiled proudly. Samuel fake coughs then says nerd then fake cough again. "The hottest nerd you ever sa- Hey, where's the kids?-" Nkenchi asked, pointing to their empty bed. "Um...they were sleeping when you left." "Kota? Eri? Where'd you guy's go?" "fuck!" Nkenchi got up and started walking around the hotel, calling their names. "Eri? Kota??" Samuel was crying in the bathroom since he couldn't really do much, he felt useless. "Damn it..." Nkenci looked back and forth, debating if he should go find the kids or go comfort Samuel, slightly panicking. Then there was two screams that sounded like a kid's scream. Nkenchi ran towards the screams as fast as he could. Eri and Kota were cornered by zombies, Eri holding onto Kota. Nkenchi slid towards them, hitting the zombie's legs and making them fall, then stomping on their heads, picking Eri and Kota up and going back to the room. "Why the hell were you two even out here in the first place?!" Nkenchi groaned. "We were trying to find you and dad!" Kota said. Nkenchi sighed "Okey just, don't do that again. Ever. We were scared." Nkenchi reprimanded, opening the hotel room door and putting the kids down and going to Samuel, hugging him and rubbing his back. Samuel was mumbling to himself. "Hey it's okay," He pulled back from the hug "What's wrong, why were you crying?" Nkenchi asked softly. "I feel useless..." Samuel said. Nkenchi's features softened "You're not, you're just not able to do much at the moment. You're doing the best you can, Sammy. And you're doing great, okay?" "I'm dead weight, if we have to leave, I won't be able to run! I'll slow you down!" Samuel lightly yelled. "Okay, so what, we'll be a little slower!" Nkenchi countered. Samuel cries more, "but the zombie's-" Samuel said. "What about them?" "They'll get you and the kids." "They won't. They can get us over my dead body." Samuel stayed quiet.

"You're not gonna slow us down, we're gonna be fine, okay?" "how do you know that?" "I just do. Trust me, we're gonna be fine." "Wait, what does this make us? Since we did THAT and we told each other that we never hated each other." "Uhm..." Nkenchi thought "I don't know, I guess I just assumed we'd figure it out eventually..." "oh..." "Well, what do you want to be...? I don't mind anything I guess..." "I don't want to force you into something you don't want." "The only option you have that would make me feel like that is telling me to act like I don't know you for the rest of our lives." He shrugged. "You wouldn't mind dating?" Nkenchi blushed and shook his head. Samuel also blushed and kissed Nkenchi softly. Nkenchi froze for a minute, then relaxed, cupping Samuel's face and kissing him back. It lasted a minute before Samuel pulled away. "Are you wanting this a secret?" "I don't really care if we tell people or not, everyone's gonna freak out about it though-" Nkenchi reasoned. "I'm asking because I don't know." Samuel says. "We can tell people, the question is who are we gonna tell first?" "your family?" "Yea okay, are we gonna tell them now or when we see them again cuz I can call them-" "up to you" Neknchi took out his phone and called Andi, Izzy, and Gray. "Mhm?" Izzy said. "You called?" Andi said also. Gray was next to Izzy. "So.... Something happened that I wanted to tell you guys..." "it's not bad is it?" Gray asked. "Oh! No, no, no, it's not-" "good" Gray said, sighing. "Then what is it?" Izzy and Andi asked. "Me and Sam are together now- Like, dating." There was a pause, then Izzy squealed. "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT, I FUCKING CALLED IT!!!!!" Samuel flitches badly but tries to hide that fact. Nkenchi smiled and used one of his hands to rub Sam's back in an attempt to calm him down at least a little. "Wait, don't you hate Samuel?" Gray said, confused. "Long story short, I did, I don't anymore." "He found a drawing from middle school that I drew and got horny! So he fucked me!" Samuel slightly yelled. "OH!??!" Andi said, Izzy started laughing her ass off. Gray laughs too as Samuel smirks. Nkenchi glares playfully at him "Yea yea whatever, says the dude who's brother had to throw away sketchbooks full of drawings of just me" He rolls his eyes. "OOP-" Izzy gasped "SAM, YOU JUST GONNA TAKE THE SHADE LIKE THAT!?-" "yea ok, If laughter is the best medicine, your face must be curing the world!" "DAMN-" Andi coughed "Didn't seem to think that when I blew your back out." Nkenchi said smugly. Samuel Exe. has crashed. Nkenchi laughed and kissed Samuel's cheek, moving down and giving him a small hickey before he went back to talking. "And there's silence from Samuel, he ok?" Gray asked. "Yea he's fine, just... Flustered from the last comment I made~" He teased. "Oh, make sense, anywho how are you two doing?" Gray asked. "We're fine, the kids got into some trouble and Samarillo is sick, but other than that, we're fine." "Wait...what of sick? Ill sick or pregnant sick?" Pablo said, concerned. "I don't know, he's been throwing up and stuff" Nkenchi shrugged. Pablo then looked at Izzy. "Wait a second... That's what happened all the times that I was preggos..." Izzy said.
