I woke up early to the sound of rustling. Around me I saw the group of early risers in my home making my smile falter a bit. I get up and rub my eyes as I stretch my arms out above my head and let out a yawn. Warren sent me a smile as she made her way over to me.
"Hey there, thanks for all your help. You don't find too much of that anymore." She says to me, taking a seat beside me on the sofa. I couldn't help chuckling at that statement. She was probably the closest thing to a friend i've had in a long while. Her, and 10k. They were sweet and fun to talk too. I'de say the same about Doc but he seemed to grandfatherly to me to be considered a friend. Everyone else just kinda kept their distance.
"Yea, I can imagine. I never leave this house to really know though." I say, looking up at her, She looked a bit taken back but nodded.
"How long have you lived alone?" She asks me, suddenly finding an interest in that topic. I think for a second.
"Probably close to a year now." I say, shuttering as the images of my brother, grandmother, and grandfather shook my memory. I hear her swallow but now my eyes are directed down on the ground.
"Do you mind?" She asks, confusing me.
Mind what?" I ask.
"Living alone." She says in a duh tone making me chuckle. I shrug my shoulders at her question though.
"Honestly, I never realized how lonely I was until you all showed up on my front porch. Company seemed like a very far off luxury, like a shower to a homeless man kind of deal." At this, we both laugh. She nods her head at that though.
"I get it, you don't really notice it until its there for you." She says, which reminds me that is probably how she feels about showering. I wonder when was the last time they all had one.
"So where are you guys headed?" I ask, looking up at her. She smiles.
"California. Murphy here is the supposedly answer to all the zombie mama drama." She says, making my eyebrows shoot up. Well, atleast that explains the color of his skin. The way it looked deathly blue. Is he gonna be ok, I wonder?
"Wow, thats news to my ears. Hows he feel about it?" I ask, and Warren simply shrugs. At this moment Murphy was in a full conversation with Addy while feeding the infant in his arms with the similar blue tinted skin.
"He knows there really is not much choice in the matter. He embraces it." She says, then stands up from the sofa. "Stay here." She tells me as shew goes to the kitchen calling everyone into a huddle. I can hear the bickering and some distasteful words that I recognised to be Murphys voice before they broke apart. Warren, Doc, and 10K smile at me.
"Can I ask her?" 10K Asks Warren who nods her head and waves him off. I quirk an eyebrow up confused as he sauntered over to me.
"We were discussing, and thought it must be pretty lonely and boring to be stuck in the middle of a desolate town by yourself. Wanna come with us to Cali?" He asks, his eyes hopeful as a smile beamed on his face. I was a bit taken back. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was hoping they would ask this. But at the same time this had always been my home. Since I was a baby. Was I ready to just up and leave it.
"Um.." I say, thinking it over. "Only if I can bring my grandfathers shot gun." I say. This made them pause for a second before they all burst into a fit of laughter.
"Please, be our guest honey." Warren says, making me smile as I jumped up from the sofa and reached up for the gun that laid across a bulls skull heald in by the horns. I took the gun and looked over at them. "Lets do this." I say as I follow them outside were they had a little chevy truck. "You will have to sit out in the back with 10K if you don't mind." Addy says, and I wave it off.
"No biggie." I say, hopping in the back of the truck with 10K who looked at me with a victorious smile. Well then...
