The apocalypse

Chapter 3

"Meteor shower, quick take cover, but the hues in our hair compliment one another!" I sing, putting my soul and heart into it.

"Zae, for fucks sake, can you shut up?" Ellie says, rubbing her forehead.

I snort.  "Oh what? You don't like my singing?"

I know I'm getting on Ellie's nerves, but it's my only source of entertainment. Violet was enjoying this, she's been smiling and laughing the whole time.

"Zae-  ugh fuck you, never mind!"  Ellie exclaims then mumbles. "We really need to find a pharmacy, and fast." 

As quietly as Possible, I walk up to her, then jump up, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and scream at the top of my lungs, "quick take cover!"

She yelps and elbows me in the stomach.  I double over and quickly sit on the ground, holding my stomach.

"Okay I deserved that..." I wheeze out, leaning my head back and groaning in pain.

Ellie quickly kneels down beside me.  "Oh my gosh Zae, I'm sorry and not sorry at the same time, Are you okay?" She says frantically.

I look at her, "what kind of an apology is that?" I question. I roll my eyes and shake my head, "never mind, yes I'm fine."

She stands up, stretching her hand towards me.  I take it, pulling my self up.

My stomach growls, and not the hungry kind of growl. My eyes widen and I grab my stomach.

"Uh oh spaghettios, Ellie look at what you've done!" Ellie raises her eyebrow at me.

"What's wrong?" She questions. I force a smile. "My butthole burns."

She burst out laughing and looks around. "You are honestly, the only person who would say that when they have to poop."

I roll my eyes, not amused. My stomach growls again and I bend over. "Guys, this is serious!"

Violet, who has been extremely quiet, says "well, there is a gas station right there..." I grimace.

"Ewwww.... gas station bathrooms are the worst!" I exclaim.

Ellie crosses her arms with a huff. "Better than you going to the bathroom on the streets, where there are dead corpses and.. more."

I gag and start speed walking towards the gas station. "Me and Violet are gonna run ahead to make sure no zombies get in your way.."

I snort, "Yeah, no surprises, not sure if I can hold it."

Ellie laughs while running up ahead into the gas station. By the time I reach it, I am at wits end. "Oh dear lord, I might have to go right here."

"Uh, no you don't! Get in here the bathroom is clean, and wide open!" Ellie shouts.

I push open the glass door, and rush towards the bathroom, I grab the door and slam it. Not bothering to lock it.

I undo the buttons on my pants and pull them down. "Gotta go fast.." I whisper to myself, sitting on the toilet, and stare at the wall.

"This is the most boring poop I've ever had." I say, crossing my arms.

"We don't really wanna know that, sky." Vi says through the door. Somewhere off in the distance I hear Ellie say "Oo chocolate." I roll my eyes.

Finally finishing and doing my business, I stand up and wash my hands, sighing in contempt. I look in the shattered mirror and smile, then frown. "Ew, what even am I?"

"You ask yourself that everyday, now hurry it up." Ellie says, from the other side of the door. I stick my tongue out at the door and wipe my hands on my jeans.
