Zombie Apocalypse * h.s

Chapter Two

[Amber's POV]

I swear my jaw hit the floor then.

I mean, c'mon, I was standing in front of the One Direction.

The international boyband.

The boyband that lost the X-Factor, but won the world.

I was honestly completely fangirling on the inside. On the outside, I probably looked like I was having a seizure. My eyelid started twitching. I collapsed.

"Whoa! Are you alright there love?" Harry said, looking concerned as he helped me up.

"Y-y-you're One Direction!" I managed to stutter once I'm back on my feet.

The look of concern on Harry's face instantly vanished and is replaced by a wide smile. "Why yes, yes we are." Harry said.

"I take it you're a fan then?" Louis asked.

"Yes! Of course!" I all but screamed. I'm defiantly still fangirling on the inside.

"Sorry for dragging you with me right there without an explanation." Zayn says, pulling his sweatshirt off. "They would've eaten you alive right then and there."

"Zayn, did you manage to get the groceries?" Liam asked.

"Yup." Zayn said, popping the p. For the first time, I noticed the bag in one of Zayn's hands.

"Food!" Niall said, lunging for the bag.

"No Niall!" Louis shouted, catching and pulling Niall back. "We need that to last until Paul or someone can go out again.

"I can get you food." I offered.

Niall looked at me. "Would you?" He asked, almost begging.

"Sure." I said, smiling at him.

"No. She knows too much already. She has to stay. Sorry- wait, what's your name?" Liam asked.

"Amber Greene. And I really have to get home. My dad's probably waiting for me." I said, picking up my bookbag.

"Sorry Amber. But you really have to stay." Liam said, an apologetic look on his face.

"My dad's probably waiting for me! He'll be worried sick! I can't do that to him!" I cried, thinking how I'm all he's got since Mom died.

"Can't you text him and say you're staying at a friend's house this weekend?" Harry suggested.

"I guess. But I can't stay forever." I said, muttering the last part.

"Good. Now Zayn, what did you get?" Liam says, turning his attention back to Zayn.

"Two loafs of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of strawberry jam and two liters of sugar-free grape juice; just like you asked Liam." Answered Zayn. I sat down on the mattress, bag still in hand. I get my phone out and text my dad.

Hey dad! Can I stay at Eve's house for the weekend? Her parents don't mind.

My phone soon buzzed with a reply.

Hey Amber, yes of course, as long as her parents don't mind. I'll see you after school on Monday. How was the basketball game? And do you have your pills? –Dad

It was great! We won, and celebrated with pizza afterwards. Yes I do have them, all three sets. I'll be fine. I'll see you then. Love you!
-Amber x

Love you too. –Dad

I put my phone in my pocket, set it back on the ground next to me and took in my surroundings.
