Friendship (a Left 4 Dead 2 fanfiction)

Black storm clouds rolled over the night sky. A young man sat on a rotting carton looking out at the deserted land before him.

"Hey kid, get some sleep" an older man said walking up to him.

"Thanks Nick." Ellis got off the carton and walked to the back of the safe house to where the others were sleeping. He layed down and closed his crystal blue eyes.

Ellis let his mind wonder. Thinking about the days before the infection. He remebered the time him and his buddy Keith were at the only Kmart in town and Keith got the great idea of sneaking in some water bottle and fill up some opened water guns and running around the store spraying people. Everybody thought it was funny...except for the manager. Long story short they were never welcome back.

Ellis sighed. Keith was his best friend. And now he was either dead or undead. For some reason the fact that he'd never see his best friend again hit him hard. Ellis felt sob rack through his body. Before he could stop himself he was crying uncontrolably.

"Hey calm down kid" a vocie said. He looked up through his blured eyes. It was Nick. Hesitating Nick sat down and put a conforting hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks Nick" Ellis said wipping his eyes

"Welcome Ellis. Now get some sleep" Nick stood up and walked to the front.

Ellis smiled because he knew no matter how badly Nick treated him Nick still cared. Nick was his friend
