The Apocalypse

Trust

'I don't trust them' I whispered to Poppy and Caleb.
'Well they have food and I really need to eat' Caleb said.
'Yeah, plus I really need to rest'. Poppy added.
'Yeah but-' I was cut off.
'I can hear you, you know' Xia sassed as she turned around and looked me in the eyes. I rolled them at her. All of a sudden I was slammed up against a wall with the knife to my throat.
'Just to be clear, I don't trust you either, even if you are harmless' she said bitterly. Xia carried on walking. My breathing was extremely heavy now, I actually thought she was going to slit my throat. What happened to 'you don't seem too bad' a few minutes ago?, I though to myself.
'Leon, how'd you get that?' Poppy asked disturbing my thoughts and pointing to the rip in his shirt, a large wound was partially visible.
'Oh' he looked to the ground in a downhearted manner.'My brother..erm..brother tried to kill me' The sadness filled his voice.
'Why'd he do that?' Caleb questioned.
'I'm not quite sure..all I know Is he managed to kill our mum, as for my dad..no idea..he deserted us as soon as this broke out. Great family eh, what about you guys..what's your story'
We all went quiet, there wasn't really anything to say.
'Oh cmon there must be something..anything to tell'.
'Well I mean Emily is my gir-' I narrowed my eyes at Caleb before he got to finish. 'Ex girlfriend I mean, haha'. He rubbed the back of his neck.
'And Caleb chopped up an innocent boy'.
'Oh my daze are we still talking about that'
'OF COURSE WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THAT' I raised my voice at him.
'CANT YOU JUST FORGET ABOUT IT'
'NO I CANT BECAUSE THE IMAGES KEEP POPPING UP IN MY HEAD'
Everything fell silent.
'Emily I did it because Mason Stabbed you, I thought he killed you so I got angry obviously'. He told me calmly.
'OOOO DRAMA' Leon joked.
'There was still no need to kill him' I exclaimed before shuffling away from my friends. What had happened to the world? I felt as though I couldn't trust anybody anymore - my friends left me, one stabbed me, one chopped another up. I need to find my family I really do..I need them...or more importantly they need me.
