The Beginning of the End

chapter 6

I wake up with a raging headache and my hands bound behind my back. My eyes adjust and I realize I'm sitting in the Walmart bathroom, a man sitting on the sink watching me. "Who are you?" He says, his voice deep. He looks homeless. Damn, at least I can still look good during the end of the world. This guy can't pull off the apocalypse look. Not at all. "I'm spongebob." I say sarcastically. "And who the fuck are you? The homeless guy that hides in the cave and tries eating Patrick?" I ask with a smirk. His fists ball up in anger and his face turns red. He begins yelling but I don't pay attention. I notice my weapons sitting on the sink and I huff. He stops yelling suddenly. "What are you doing here?" He asks. I shrug. "Just...exploring." I laugh. He walk closer slowly and I begin to un ravel the rope around my wrist. He looms over me and speaks, "I wont ask agai—" he's cut off as I swiftly kick him in the balls. He crumbles to the floor, groaning. I jump up and slide the rope completely off. I grad my gun and point it at him. "You know, I saw this in a movie once. The bad guy died, and guess what!" I shout. "You're the bad guy." I whisper. I pull the trigger and the gun fires, hitting him right between the eyes. I tuck my gun away and straighten my clothes. I grad my machetes and put them in their place. I walk out the doir and hear my name being called. "JASMINE!" I look around and no ones there. "JAAAASMINEEEE!" I hear again. I head towards the source of the noise and notice its Harley and beth yelling. "Dude, shut the fuck up! You'll attract infected ones." I tell them. They gasp and turn around. "Jasmine!" They run up and hug me. "Hey hey hey, what's wrong?" I ask, confused. They look at me in disbelief. "You've been gone for 2 hours! We finished forever ago but, we couldn't find you anywhere. You had us worried sick!" Harley exclaims. Wow. 2 hours? Damn he must hit hard. "Yeah, where were you anyways?" Beth asks me. "Oh, some creepy guy kidnapped me, I took care of it." I tell them. They look at each other. "You sure you're okay?" Harley asks. I laugh. "I'm fine guys! Nit a scratch on me!" I smile brightly. "Okay..." Beth drifts off. "Now, lets head to the car and see what we have." I say as I head towards the front, grabbing a few packs of gum on my way.

So, we did good this time. We got plenty of food and some new medicines. Along with a shit ton of candy and movies. Hey, we're teenagers, we need entertainment. We even have a 30 inch flat screen in our back seat. Its Taylors birthday soon and its her present. "Alright dorks, we're good. Hop in the car, its getting late." I say. "We should be back by 7." I tell them and we're on our way home.

After bringing in what we had scavenged, me, Harley, and Beth went to introduce ourselves to Blaise and Sky. We head to classroom we have set up for the entertainment room. Which had a small tv, a dvd player, and two couches. "Jasmine!" I hear conrad shout as we walk in. I grin and run to him, sitting on his lap. "Hey." I say, nonchalantly. He gives me a huge hug and kisses my forehead. Most people would think that me and conrad were dating but we weren't. I'm a lesbian and he's only my best friend. I look up to see Blaise and, who I'm assuming to be, Sky looking at us. Blaise was dressed in red skinny jeans with a shirt the said 'i might bite' on it in bold red letters. Hes got his lip pierced and his hair was short and red. Sky, she was...gorgous. she had on blue skinny jeans with a shirt that said 'nobody knows I'm a lesbian' in bold blue letters. Yes! Shes gay! Her hair was long, at least to her hips, and it was the color blue. She had her lip and nose pierced and was covered in tattoos. Her skin seemed perfect and her dark brown eyes seemed to stare into your soul. She was watching me intently and I couldn't tear my eyes away. "—mine! Jasmine!" I hear Conrad yell in my ear. I jump up. "Dude! What the fuck! Are you trying to ruin my hearing?!" I yell. His eyes water. Oh shit. "I was trying to get your attention. You wouldn't listen." He whispers. I huff. "Conrad, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. Ill listen next time, okay?" I assure him. He smiles and nods at me. "As I was saying, you've met Blaise, and this" he points at her, "is Sky." I nod. "Sky, Blaise, this is jasmine, my best friend. Oh! And that's beth and Harley." He says pointing at them. Oops I forgot the were here. Harley smiles awkwardly and waves while Beth gives them a giant hug, yelling about how adorable they are. I look at Sky and I see she's staring at me too. I walk over to her and hold out my hand. "Hey, I'm Jasmine." I say. She gives a cute smile and replies, "I'm Sky."
