Post Apocalyptic Kaos

Still going

*Thwack* was the sound of the pillow that so very violently hit my face. I jerked awake and saw Liz standing over me. "You aren't special so get your ass up and get ready," She said as she tossed her pillow back on her bed and walked out. I mumbled under my breath, "Bitch that hurt." I rubbed my eyes and ran my fingers through my short blondish brown hair. I yawned and i got up off the bed. I walked around the room stretching out a little. I looked around, sighing as i left the room and made my way to the bathroom. 

I took care of my business and then i splashed water on my face. I fixed my hair and brushed my teeth before i headed downstairs. I slid down the stair railing as i heard all the chatter in the kitchen. I turned the corner and it was pure chaos. Everyone was everywhere trying to grab food from places and i just shook my head. "Way to be so disorganized," I said as i intentionally shooed everyone off to the table. "As if you're one to talk Ash," my sister decided to say as she grabs a bottle of water heading out the door. I huffed and started making food for everyone. One by one i handed the plates off to the person the food was for and then i sat down to eat. 

Little conversations took place here and there among the whole group. I sort of dazed out and my mind wondered back to the one night when i was dragged away by such a large creature. Images flashed through my head. The sounds of my own screams made me cringe as i felt the sting seep from every wound. It was fast and so big. Black and orange are the colors i remember seeing along with what looked like tentacles.

Someone put their hand on my shoulder as i flinched, moving back in my chair. Everyone stopped and just kinda stared at me as i looked up to see who had touched me. Her long red hair draped over her built shoulders as her green eyes stared back into mine. Stella kind of frowned as she shrugged a bit. "Ashley are you okay?" she asked as she began braiding her hair. Everyone had resumed eating as i answered back to her, "Oh um.. yea i'm fine just scared me a bit is all. What's up?" She was just finishing her braid as she said, " Logan is calling you." 

I shook my head. "He couldn't get up and come get me himself." Stella laughed a little and said, "You know him as lazy as always." I just nodded my head as i finished my food and hopped up the stairs. I walked into the room that Logan and James took residence in. They had been laughing about some stupid shit probably. I smacked Logan as Stella walked in behind me. "You wanna get up and call me yourself next time instead of sending Stella out to do your work lazy ass." I stated more than questioned. He winced from my hit and kinda mumbled. 

"What is it that you need Logan?" I asked as i sat down next to James on his bed. Stella very lightly planted herself on my lap and just watched Logan. "Are we going to go out today?" He asked as I poked Stella in the side. She squirmed in my lap as she began laughing a little. I look back at Logan. "Yea we don't have a choice we gotta go look for more food," I said holding back a smile because Stella had been poking at my neck. He sighed a bit and replied, "Don't we already have enough food to last us?" I was in the middle of a tickle fight with Stella as i looked up at him mid laugh. "That's not the point, but we'll see what else happens it's not just up to me," i said finally standing up relieving myself from the pain of laughing so much. 

I had another conversation with them before i walked out and Stella followed as well. "Hey Ash can i ask you a question," Stella asks. I smiled,"You just did, but sure if there's another one." She shoved me a little at my smart ass remark. "Why are we still acting like nothing happened between them?" She sat on my bed as she asked, looking at me a little worried. I bent down to grab a journal that i wrote in. Kinda like a diary i guess. I looked at her and shrugged, "I don't know Stell. It isn't our place to say anything. They'll talk to us about it when they're are ready to.  Just leave it be." I poked her arm as i sat down leaning back. She leaned up against me and kinda just cuddled into my side.
