ZOMVIVOR

CHAPTER FIVE

-JAMES-

After the door got closed, i sat on a random library chair. Him sat beside me, as we were now risking our loved once for ourselves. Yes, my loved ones is net even if I haven't accepted him yet.

Yet is a words, but my heart accepted net as his favourite from the very start, but my self conscious and child trauma gave me some warnings to give the time I needed to adjust. But i didn't knew, the time will get to risk his life for me.

“Yim, James, be strong, i believe P'Net and P'Tor will make it soon.” Kong said cheering up but for us, nothing is more sorrowful than this. The time passed, and we heard some noises of zombies. Some time passed, we heard some human running steps, my heart accelerated at the thoughts of zombies chasing them.

I clenched my heart and closed my eyes, chanting for net's well being while yim who was internally crying finally let go of his tears. I side hugged him and assured him, even though I was not strong, i comforted yim.

“Trust them, they will make it to us.” i cheered yim and looked at everyone. The tention was evident in their eyes, P'Boss and P'Fort were looking after phones, Peat, Nat, Nunew, P'Zee, P'Max and P'Tho were checking on everything around them.

I just closed my eyes and sighed, the only thing I was worrying about was net. I know I'm selfish, but in this situation, i don't care if I'm.

Because all I care about is Net.

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours and the time passed upto three hours. The bright light of morning turned into Dim shine of escaping sun. We turned on the library lights and waited. Waited. Waited.

But no call came, three hours turned into four, then five, then six and the night engulfed the Thailand. The moon rosed as the shining sparkles spread across the dark room, giving the only ray of light to us.

The phone which was supposed to ring by now  is still silent making everyone anxious. The worst scenarios were formed inside my brain. The worst I can think about is, I don't have the strength to even imagine it.

“It's been few hours, still no response?” Nat lazily asked as the remaining energy was drained out from everyone. The fear ate up our courage to fight back, the energy were started with faded away as the time passing. The call which was supposed to give us hope is silent making everyone slowly entrust it and giving up.

“It is bad to say, but I think…we should understand this sign.” Boss spoke, he yawned and looked at me and yim. Yim who was now tired of everything was looking at a blank surface tile which led his eyes to turn red due the tention he built inside him.

“What do you mean P'Boss?” I asked, even though I got the idea of his sentence I still asked to confirm if what I heard was right, “Saying that, lets stop hoping for net and tutor, shall we leave, afterall no voices are coming now, must the zombies have gone behind them.” P'Boss spoke, it was not rudely but I felt a pang inside my heart hearing him say that.

“Are you crazy P'Boss? How can we lose hopes?” Peat stood up standing for P'Boss' sentence, peat took the lead to oppose this idea, “Then should we stay here when the time to return is already gone? If they both had to come, he would have already.”

P'Boss' sentence was filled with logic and truth, but the hopes were still there, “No, we can't go! They literally had been ready to risk their lives and you are being selfish P'Boss.” Noeul was speechless, he didn't understand for whom he should support; friends or boyfriend.

“Peat, calm down. I will talk to him.” noeul spoke, peat just sat on his previous seat, he dragged P'Boss to the corner of library and they talked. God knows, what they talked? But I had cleared, not everyone is going to keep up their hopes until morning, if net won't return till morning, then their is no other option than leaving on our own not expecting them to be alright.
