The Death Affect

Chapter three

"Where are we even going?" Grace asked.
"Somewhere not here." Leo said. Leo always messed with her like that. They both liked each other but too stupid to notice it.
"We're on our way to Las Vegas." I told them.
"Las Vegas? What are we going to do there? Get drunk?" Hayden, is a complete dick to everyone, but Angie.
"No we're going to meet T.J's brother there." Angie said sleepily. She was laying on Hayden's lap. It was only about, ten, ten-thirty.
"It's not even that late Angel, what were you doing last night?" Leo called her Angel. They've been friends forever. Kind of like Brent and me. She didn't answer him. It was silent for a few minutes. Alana broke that silence.
"So... What's everyone gonna do?"
"After what?" Hayden had a bitchy attitude right now.
"After the world turns to shit. What are you going to do? Try to survive? Or are just going to give up on life?"
"Obviously try to survive with Angie." Angie smiled.

Angie had fallen asleep.
"Keep this is mind, stay away from Angie if you want her to survive."
"Excuse me?" Alana looked at Hayden. He pulled out a knife.
"Do anything, and I'll kill her." We all sat there. We glared at him.
"You wouldn't dare..." Leo glared at him
"Oh I would, lion." Leo hated to be called that. He almost broke.
"Well, unless you give me that little babe." He pointed at Grace. She was shaking.
"W-what..." Dally pulled her into his chest.
"You're gonna have to go threw me first." Dally cared deeply for Grace as well. He knew how much Leo liked her. She grabbed onto his shirt and started to cry. Jace put his arm around her.
"You're gonna have to kill me before you can touch her. Grace was like our younger sister. You didn't mess with her and get away with it.
"If you hurt either Angie or Grace," Leo got extremely serious, "I will kill you."
"I'd like to see you try." The car stopped.
"And mention any of this to her, I'll kill her right on the spot." Mom jumped out.
"We have different plans. We're going to Phoenix."
"Why?" I asked
"It's the safest and the closest."
"What about Evan?" Evan. He's my older brother. He moved to Washington to get a good job and then get a bunch of money so he could help mom. After dad died, our money dropped.
"He told me to find safety and that he'd find us." I sat there.
"Okay..." I looked down. My mom got back in the car. Phoenix was two hours away. It was almost eleven. 

After about an hour, mom went to an immediate stop. We got thrown on to each other.
"What the-" Alana froze. We looked and saw a dead guy eating a deer. Jace hopped out of the trunk. He pulled out a pocket knife.
"Jace?" Mom asked. He went up to it, grabbed it's head and stabbed it in the head. Angie woke up. She yawned.
"What happened?"
"Nothing much, just watching you be beautiful even when you're sleeping." I hated Hayden. Doing this 'good guy' act around her. Alana looked at him in discuss.
"What's the matter?" Angie asked.
"...straights..." She sighed. Jace hopped back in.
"Hey."
"Where did you go."
"No where." We all were discussed 'cause of Hayden. He set his head on her shoulder.
"This makes me wanna puke." Alana whispered to me.
"Same... Man whore..." Alana snorted.
"What's so funny?" Angie asked.
"Nothing, you wouldn't understand beautiful." Hayden glared. Really. He glared at a lesbian friend calling her beautiful but wants to kill her? Confusing. My mom stopped all of the sudden again.
"What now?" We stood up to see a whole group of the dead. Hailee screamed. They all looked at us.
"Shit!" I hit the glass. We all sat down and mom turned around and sped across the dirt road. I flew to Brent. He grabbed me and pulled me close. Grace ended up by Leo, so Leo was holding her and she has holding onto him tightly. Leo and Brent were holding each other's wrist. Dally held Jace in one arm, and held on to the rim with the other. Alana was holding onto my legs and holding Angie Angie was holding Hayden's hands. I really just wanted him to fall off and to just watch him get eaten alive. He'd deserve it.

We had been driving for an hour or two away from them but Brent was still holding me. Everything was calm but he was still holding onto me. It was almost two. It was in the middle of April, but this year it was cold. I was wearing shorts and a crop top with a flannel over it. My legs were freezing. We were almost in Prescott. Brent pulled me closer.
"Better?"
"Yeah..." I looked down i felt hot I was probably bright red.
"It's the end, isn't it." He said, quiet enough for only me to hear.
"Yeah..." We sat there in silence.
"You gotta promise me something."
"What is it?"
"You gotta promise Tatum Jade."
"I, Tatum Jade, promise."
"You can't die. Please..."
"I won't." I put my head into his chest.
"I won't..."

Once it was around seven, it was getting dark. Grace yawned.
"I'm tired."
"Me too." Leo and Grace were perfect for each other. But they're too stupid to notice it.
"Okay we're going to set up texts. Hailee and Hayden in one, Brent and T.J, Leo and Grace, Dally and Jace, Marie and Janis, Alex and Justin and Micky and Mike, and Angie and Kaiden and Jackie and me."
"Aye-aye captain." Leo said and went to get a tent. We all started to set up. The tent fell over onto me.
"Heh, oops..." I got up. I laughed a bit.

When we finished it was eight 'o clock. I yawned.
"Let's go to bed."
"Yeah." We got into the tent. We had put sleeping bags in there before we even finished completely. I got in mine.
"Night Tay."
"Night B." Then I fell asleep.
